After my epic Street Pass quest, I’m finding it difficult to enter my Mii Plaza without feeling a distinct sense of nausea at the pit of my bowels. That said, it’ll probably have worn off by May 7, which is when Aussie-Nintendo are holding their inaugural Street Pass event, on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.
24,132 steps, 11 Kotaku readers, seven train journeys, four JB Hifis, three EBs, three video game arcades, two LAN centres, one trip to Sydney Airport and so much more. All in the name of a single, arguably pointless goal – 50 Street Pass hits in one single day. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll shake your head in a condescending manner. This is the story of one man, his 3DS, and The Last Train To Bombay.
