Nintendo thinking about “more creative content” for distribution at Nintendo Zones
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nintendo seems to have some ambitious plans for StreetPass in the future. We’ve already heard about the possibility of scavenger hunts and crossword puzzles. Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen has also teased additional content for Nintendo Zones.
Speaking with IGN, Trinen teased that Nintendo is “looking for more creative content that we can use to distribute at Nintendo Zones. The feeling is that, if we’re able to offer people content at Nintendo Zones that they can go and download and then experience StreetPass while they’re there, that’s going to be the best way to get people excited about it and doing it on a regular basis.”
