Nintendo Brings National StreetPass Weekend: Summer Edition with Mario Kart 7 Tournament to 3DS Enthusiasts
Nintendo is once again rallying its Nintendo 3DS community with the launch of National StreetPass Weekend: Summer Edition, an event designed to foster connection and competitive play among handheld gaming fans.
This community-driven initiative highlights Nintendo’s ongoing support for its portable platforms and demonstrates a commitment to interactive experiences that transcend solo gaming.
National StreetPass Weekend: Summer Edition began on July 21 and runs through July 24, offering 3DS owners across North America expanded opportunities for StreetPass interactions at participating Nintendo Zone locations.
The event follows Nintendo’s successful StreetPass gathering in early June that coincided with E3 festivities, further reinforcing the company’s dedication to keeping its player base engaged through both digital and in-person experiences.
During this special weekend, 3DS users are encouraged to bring their systems to Nintendo Zone hotspots, where they can exchange data with other players and enjoy exclusive offers.
A major highlight this summer is the launch of a region-wide Mario Kart 7 tournament.
To enter, Mario Kart 7 fans simply need to visit a Nintendo Zone location and use the tournament code 56-5948-2194-6571 to participate.
This unique code allows Nintendo 3DS racers from all over North America to compete against each other in one of the platform’s most beloved racing titles.
A Nintendo representative underscored the appeal of the event, explaining that National StreetPass Weekend aims to bring both new and seasoned 3DS owners together, giving them additional opportunities to make StreetPass connections and enjoy multiplayer experiences.
The company encourages fans not only to take part in the Mario Kart 7 tournament but also to use the opportunity to hunt Deviant Monsters in Monster Hunter Generations, another critically acclaimed title on the eShop.
Since its launch, the Nintendo 3DS family has sold more than 75 million units worldwide, with Mario Kart 7 surpassing 18 million copies sold as of 2022.
Events like National StreetPass Weekend: Summer Edition showcase Nintendo’s enduring support for its platforms and iconic franchises, ensuring that the spirit of communal handheld gaming remains vibrant.
