3DS StreetPass Event Dublin 23rd April

omadden2

Hey all 3DS users! My name is Orla Madden and I'm looking to organise a Street Pass event in Grafton Street in Dublin on April the 23rd, at the front of HMV at 12 o'clock. As you might or might not know, the first successful Street Pass event was held in London recently by Nintendo Scene, a Nintendo news and discussion website. Yoshinori Ono, the producer of Super Street Fighter 4, also attended this event through information he was given on Twitter! You can read all about the amazing event here, www.nintendoscene.com. I myself write regular articles for the Nintendo Scene team. My intention in this post is to generate enough interest to actually officially announce this event, through Nintendo Scene, Twitter and Facebook. We would have loads of fun talking Nintendo, swapping Friend Codes, battling in Super Street Fighter and racing in Ridge Racer, but in general, having a bit of banter!

If you are interested, leave a comment, and hope to see you there!

I'm interested but as that's a Saturday I can't make it. Friday lunch time much better (for me at least).

Pity it is a Saturday. I'd have been there if it was a weekday.

Have fun.

Guaranteed Streetpass hits? Should be a pre-requisite for all social gatherings.

The StreetPass hits are guaranteed if people show up and meet with us! Basicly this is just a gathering I'm trying to get together, for people to make the most of their 3DS, sharing codes, playing against each other in certain games, and just having a good time. There have been meet-ups in the USA, UK and Japan, and I've heard nothing in Ireland so thought I'd change that! It's nothing fancy, just expect some gamers geeking it out!

Ok, so over on www.nintendoscene.com, they are promoting the next London StreetPass event on April 16th. After this event takes place, it will be full on promoting the Dublin event on Twitter and Facebook, as they will only promote one event at a time to avoid confusion! Hopefully there will be a good turnout, spread the word!

Having worked in that HMV, please do not do that, fecking buskers, just because you are outside HMV doesn't give you extra kudos :rolleyes:

Anyway this sounds like fun, I may pop along to the London one, seems a good way of building a community of sorts around the 3DS.

Its only a joke as he said he didnt have a 3DS and building the money would get him one. Not into busking anyway, HMV is only a meet up point. Anywho.

Yeah London would be an amazing event to attend.

Since you're talking about HMV on grafton street, why not move it to stephens green park? A place everybody knows, outide in the sunshine, no chance of getting kicked out, and a beter scene for photo's.

That could be a great idea also! Meeting outside HMV could be a starting point, make our way to Stephens Green where hopefully more could join! Spread the word if you know anybody else interested!

The sooner we move away from HMV the better. When walking by I always find myself drawn to the place as if magnetised and leave with at least a 20 quid DVD.

Ooof, as long as Ken McGrath is still on the Rock that shouldn't be too hard to stomach!

Ha! Just so everybodys clear, this has nothing got to do with HMV, Game, GameStop or even Nintendo themselves! This is just me organising a get together of a couple of people to make the most of their 3DS', as I'm sure fellow gamers would like to meet up and join in the gaming fun! But as I do write regular articles for the website Nintendo Scene, an article and some pictures will be going up, as the readers of the website love to see whats going on in the world of Nintendo!

AllYourBass

Best covert event ever! I don't suppose you're all disguised as tourisrs?

Nollog

AllYourBass

That's what I get for coasting through life five minutes late for everything! Not even a streetpass hit from doing circuits of Stephens Green like a sloth athlete, *sigh*
