From a super crazy launch in New York to the first StreetPass NYC meet up, to the Nintendo 3DS is doomed to the insane holiday season, pass the Vita launch and Kid Icarus: Uprising...it has been one hell of a first year for the Nintendo 3DS.

To celebrate, we plan on having a mini-meet up inside the Best Buy at Union Square where hosted the official Nintendo 3DS North American launch. We plan on hanging near the demo unit upstairs, allowing us access to Nintendo Zone and a Internet Connection.

Nothing crazy. Just to meet up, StreetPass, play games, share crazy stories about the launch of the unit (our Founder can put Cranky Kong to shame in that department) and reflect on what was a crazy year...and to prepare for our upcoming One Year Anniversary.
