Description

Nintendo is engaging fans worldwide with International StreetPass Week, a special event celebrating the innovative social features of the Nintendo 3DS.

First announced in Europe, Nintendo of America has now confirmed participation, offering exclusive opportunities for U.S.

and Canadian players to connect and collect unique Mii characters via Nintendo Zone and StreetPass Relay hotspots.

Running from April 16 through April 26, International StreetPass Week gives Nintendo 3DS users a chance to gather up to six Mii characters from diverse regions including Europe, the United States, and Canada, simply by visiting designated Nintendo Zone locations such as McDonald's and Best Buy outlets.

This coordinated initiative coincides with the new wave of StreetPass DLC games and emphasizes Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to connecting players through creative hardware features. A highlight for North American fans is the distribution of a special gold pants Mii representing Reggie Fils-Aime, the then-president of Nintendo of America.

Since its original debut, the gold pants Reggie Mii has become a sought-after collectible for StreetPass enthusiasts.

Nintendo’s official update confirms that visitors to Nintendo Zone hotspots across the U.S.

and Canada can secure this rare digital keepsake as part of this limited-time promotion. In an official statement released as part of this week’s Nintendo Download Update, a Nintendo spokesperson affirmed, “From April 16 to April 26, players can exclusively obtain up to six international Mii characters, including a special gold pants Mii of Reggie Fils-Aime, when they connect at participating Nintendo Zone locations.” They encouraged fans to consult Nintendo’s online resources to identify the nearest StreetPass hotspot and make the most of the event. International StreetPass Week continues Nintendo’s tradition of supporting community-driven experiences on the Nintendo 3DS.

With StreetPass, players can exchange accomplishments, collect puzzle pieces, and progress in StreetPass Mii Plaza minigames simply by passing or meeting others with the handheld system.

As of the event’s announcement, StreetPass Mii Plaza remains one of the handheld’s most enduring social features, leveraging innovative networking to keep fans engaged years after launch. Fans and collectors are encouraged to visit their local Nintendo Zone locations before April 26 to ensure they don’t miss out on the chance to add the gold pants Reggie Fils-Aime Mii and a host of international Miis to their collection.
