StreetPass NYC Google+ Hangout On Air! -- Fire Emblem Awakening

 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaPisx34GdY

We at StreetPass NYC wanted to do an experiment, a virtual group meeting that would be broadcasted live an saved onto YouTube via Google+ Hangout LIVE on Air. We wanted to show people what our meetings are like in New York City for those who have never attended it, talk about latest games (in this case the recently released Fire Emblem Awakening) and have tons of fun doing so in the process. Give a little taste of what being in StreetPass NYC is all about.

We end up recording on Wednesday, February 6th as a test and we feel that our test was a smashing success. Special thanks of Sean from Nintendo World store coming out to talking about our most famous Nintendo hot spot!

Expect more of these types of LIVE Hangouts in the future and also look forward too a new Podcast similar to this format called The StreetCast coming out in April/May 2013.

StreetPass NYC Celebrates Fire Emblem: Awakening Week!

StreetPass NYC Declares the First Week of February "Fire Emblem: Awakening Week"

StreetPass NYC, a popular grassroots Nintendo 3DS fan club in New York City, invites all Nintendo fans in the New York Metro Area to celebrate the release of Fire Emblem: Awakening exclusive to Nintendo 3DS via three events over the course of the first week of February.

"We have dubbed the time between February 4th and February 9th 'Fire Emblem: Awakening Week' to celebrate the new release" says Jordan White, Founder and Event Organizer of StreetPass NYC. "We have huge Fire Emblem fans who over the years felt the franchise they love so dear was left out between all the Mario and Kirby releases. So we are super excited that Nintendo of America is giving this game all the attention that this long lasting franchise deserves and so will we!"

SUCCESS: Fans Show Excitementfor Wii U and Bayonetta 2 at Wii U Launch Party in New York City

###

We as fans of Bayonetta and Nintendo wanted to give our thanks to Nintendo for publishing Bayonetta 2 with Platinum Games for without the publishing deal we would have never received the sequel this franchise deserves.

StreetPass NYC passed around a thank you poster for fans to sign as well as collected letters written by fans both to express their thanks to both companies during the Wii U Launch Party at the Nintendo World Store.

When presented to Nintendo of America's President "Reggie Fils-Aime", he has announced to translate and give the letters to Nintendo Co Ltd. back in Japan to read and the poster will be kept at Nintendo World Store as a commemoration of the Nintendo Fan Community and the launch of the Wii U home entertainment system.

More details will follow as we wait for Nintendo of America and Nintendo World Store staff to figure out the details of honoring this fan run project.

StreetPass NYC wants to thank all who signed the poster and contributed letters to "Operation Platinum Love" and we will have more opportunities for fans to express their love for the new game as development on the game continues.

“For those gamers who cannot make it to the screening on Friday and I know for a fact that many of you will be unable to, don't worry, we have a back up screening planned later in the month of November” concludes Jordan. “We are still looking into either having a second screening after our Paper Mario: Sticker Star Event, after The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddess performance or at a random free day where we all meet up at Burger King to collect more of those Wii U toys. We have plenty of events before and after the Wii U launch in November, so we are still very excited for what we dub the month of ‘Nintevember’”.
