Streetpass Groups Sweep the Nation

Through Facebook and Twitter, various groups have popped up across the country in recent weeks. These Streetpass meet up groups look to organize 3DS gamers to achieve that rare moment in a geek’s life where he or she goes outside. You know, where the people aren’t pixels and Gil is not an accepted form of currency? 

Anyway, 3DS gamers who feel your pain gather here to take advantage of the feature, so you will have collected your puzzle pieces and rescued your Mii in no time. Some events like my local group in Hollywood, may even have additional activities, like a Mario Kart tournament for the presiegious GameStop gift card. It’s almost like a sense of community has been built through the sense of neglect, and I for one found it to be lots of fun. It’s better than sulking by myself over my lack of Streetpasses and pestering my wife about getter a 3DS so I can have a daily visitor at least.
