Nintendo Museum Offers Exclusive StreetPass Miis for 3DS Visitors in Kyoto

Nintendo Museum Offers Exclusive StreetPass Miis for 3DS Visitors in Kyoto The Nintendo Museum in Kyoto has unveiled an exciting new feature exclusively for Nintendo 3DS users.

Visitors to the renowned museum can now collect unique StreetPass Miis representing some of the company’s most influential figures, making the pilgrimage even more rewarding for fans of Nintendo’s beloved portable console. As one of Nintendo’s most iconic hardware innovations, the Nintendo 3DS originally debuted in 2011 and quickly garnered a dedicated global following, thanks to its glasses-free 3D display and robust library of games.

A standout social feature of the system is StreetPass—a local communication tool that lets users exchange Miis and game data simply by passing other 3DS owners.

While StreetPass connectivity has declined since the discontinuation of the 3DS family and the rise of Nintendo Switch, it remains a nostalgic favorite among Nintendo enthusiasts. According to recent coverage by Nintendo Dream Web, Editor-in-Chief Rifa visited the Nintendo Museum and showcased exclusive photos of her experience.

Among the highlights was the revelation that visitors can receive a special StreetPass Mii of Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo’s legendary game designer, who is celebrated globally for his work on franchises like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong. Further confirming the news, MegaRockEXE, a co-founder of The Rockman EXE Zone, reported on social media that the museum also offers exclusive StreetPass Miis of Shinya Takahashi (Nintendo’s Senior Managing Executive Officer) and Shuntaro Furukawa (Nintendo President).

Both visitors and fans have recognized this update as a newly added museum feature, as only a handful of attendees have successfully obtained the rare Miis. This tactile addition to the museum experience is a nod to Nintendo’s penchant for interactive magic.

In line with its history of connecting gamers both virtually and in person, enabling the collection of these exclusive Miis provides a unique digital souvenir for 3DS owners.

It’s an especially thoughtful reward for dedicated fans who still cherish the handheld’s community features. For Nintendo 3DS users planning a visit to Kyoto, the exclusive StreetPass Miis are available only on-site at the Nintendo Museum.

It’s advised that visitors ensure their StreetPass queue is empty to maximize their chance of receiving all the unique Miis during their trip.

As the museum continues to celebrate Nintendo’s pioneering legacy, this limited-time feature is sure to spark renewed excitement among longtime supporters of the company’s handheld ecosystem. The Nintendo Museum stands as a monument to the company’s storied history and innovation, and with the introduction of these exclusive StreetPass Miis, Nintendo reiterates its commitment to delighting fans and fostering a sense of community.

For many, this is yet another reason to power up their 3DS and take a nostalgic journey through Nintendo’s past in the company’s own hometown.
