Directions: 2, 3 Train to Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum

Location: Brooklyn Museum (1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, New York 11238)

Date: March 1st, Saturday

Event Time: 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM 



StreetPass NYC is excited (and saddened) that the last official entry in the Professor Layton series (Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy) is coming to a close only on Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 2DS systems. When a so-called "living mummy" is discovered in snowy Froenborg, Layton and his team are dispatched to investigate. But before they can unravel the mummy's secrets, she is kidnapped, and Layton must pursue the truth—and evade his enemies—in a race across the globe involving puzzle solving and StreetPass.

To celebrate this occasion, we invite all to hang out with us at the Brooklyn Museum from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM in the Lobby near the Museum Cafe. Entry is free and there will be various programs through the day and may exhibits to watch.

StreetPass NYC will also be hosting a special contest: a 3D Photo Scavenger hunt from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM where entrees who have a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system (Azran Legacy is not required) will be given eight descriptions of objects to take pictures of. The contestants will pick their best 3D photo of each category and they will be reviewed by staff based on their use of 3D depth, the creativity of the composition and the detail quality of the actual photo. The top three winners picked by our staff on their outstanding photo work will get special prizes announced at the event itself.

NOTE: All visitors and contest contestants must respect the museum space and artifacts. Please do not touch any of the exhibits, shine lights/flash photography on them and please keep your voices to conversational volume.

We will also have Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva for viewing via laptop for those who have never seen the film.

NostalJunk in the Trunk -- Chibi-Robo Photo Finder with StreetPass NYC

Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/648984171827025/

Date: January 26st, Sunday

Event Time: 12:00 NOON - 4:00 PM


Chibi-Robo, an icon from the GameCube era, is back in the Nintendo 3DS & 2DS eShop game "Chibi-Robo Photo Finder" out on January 9th! Chibi-Robo is trying to curate a museum with various NostalJunk items and the best way we think we can do this is to steal-er-photograph some objects from another museum (the Bronx Museum of the Arts to be exact) with it's own NostalJunk display.

Transportation info here: http://www.bronxmuseum.org/visit

A comprehensive survey of the works of American sculptor Tony Feher, this exhibition features key artworks that use everyday objects and found materials in a post-minimalist aesthetic, displaying the richness and complexity of Feher’s investigations. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated monograph and reveals Feher's very personal vocabulary developed and refined over the past decades. Organized by Claudia Schmuckli, Director and Chief Curator of Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston.

Exhibit info here: http://www.bronxmuseum.org/exhibitions/tony-feher

Use the Nintendo 3DS Camera to look for everyday objects in the sculptures that match the shapes in your silhouette film, and then start snapping pics. Depending on how well a real-world item’s shape fits the silhouette, it may qualify as first-rate NostalJunk!

Join us, just don't run out of power. You are a robot after all...

Location: Barnes & Nobel Union Square (33 East 17th Street New York, NY 10003)

Date: December 15st, Sunday

Event Time: 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM


National StreetPass Weekend for New York City will take place on December 15 at the Barnes & Noble at Union Square!

Join us on the third floor cafe as we collect StreetPass tags, experience Nintendo zone, play Nintendo 3DS multiplayer games such as Pokemon X & Pokemon Y, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and Mario Party Island Tour and more! Plus we may have a limited number of "premium swag" that we will share with those that attend the meetup.

During this weekend, all the Nintendo Zones in North America will be put together and mixed around so that users have the opportunity to StreetPass with people from different parts of the country.

The existing StreetPass feature allows players to StreetPass only with those within their vicinity. During National StreetPass Weekend, when players enter one of 29,000 Nintendo Zones, they will be connected with other 3DS users from all around North America.

Nintendo Zones have StreetPass relay points, so when a 3DS user gets near a Nintendo Zone, their StreetPass data is automatically forwarded to Nintendo servers, which temporarily store it before passing it onto the next 3DS user who enters that Zone. This feature, which was announced earlier this year, aims to allow players to find more Miis in their StreetPass Mii Plaza.

While connected over Nintendo Zone, users will be able to watch 3D videos, full-length animations, play demos and find retailer promotions and coupons. More information about National StreetPass Weekend, including how to find your nearest Nintendo Zone, can be found at http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/nintendozone
