aw. No love for the US. At least not anywhere close to West Virginia.
Wish they did this in the U.S. Then I could at least get a free poster!
aw. No love for Finland.
Only 4 stores? No further north than Birmingham?? Good effort :/
Nintendo REALLY needs to promote the StreetpassTM feature of the 3DS. It is such a cool feature but not a single person I've ever spoken to about the 3DS has been aware of its existence.
More on topic, I wish events would come to Manchester once in a while. It is one of the most major cities in England.
I`m heading to the london one on saturday. i doubt that i`ll enter, but it`s worth going for the street pass hits alone.
Aw, why can't it be in U.S.A too? D:
The UK and and Japan get all the good stuff! America gets nothing... T_T
i'm just wondering ....if i'm the only one that has wreaked their slider pad by playing this wonderfull game
@dizzy_boy That's awesome — tell them Nintendo Life sent you!
If anyone else is going to this, please say you're from Nintendo Life — it'd be a big help!
It would've been nice if they did this in every city HMV in the UK,not just 4.
I went today. Wow, it was like... wait in line for half an hour, play one game against this one guy, lose, and from then on. I can't play any more because I already tried once.
They did give me a sweet poster though.
