As part of the National StreetPass Weekend festivities taking place this weekend, 3DS users who stop by Nintendo Zones can add Tom (otherwise known as Miiverse’s NintendoTom) to their StreetPass Mii Plaza. Tom will come along in special gold pants. He’ll only be available through tomorrow, so keep that in mind!

Nintendo’s reasoning for holding National StreetPass Weekend is twofold.
Not only does the event provide 3DS owners with a unique opportunity to experience the functionality, it can also serve as a promotional tool. The latter element can lead to increased buzz for the 3DS as Christmas approaches.
Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen told GamesBeat:
“We want to make sure that here in America, where the population isn’t quite as dense, people get an opportunity to exist the fun of the StreetPass games. What we want to do is, instead of forcing people to establish a new routine to serve StreetPassing, we want to find ways to fit StreetPass into their everyday lives as it exists now.”
“That’s a definitely a side benefit. If people are going to be buying the 3DS system, obviously we want them to be playing it, and we want to reward them for carrying it around with them.”
