I remember reading Nintendo Power when I was young and thinking how cool it would be to work in the video game industry.

The skilled professionals who brought us the joyful surprises of The Legend of Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog and countless other games left an indelible impression on me. Long before the U.S. Supreme Court protected video games as an artistic work and the Smithsonian opened an exhibition that celebrated the medium, I appreciated the contribution of game makers. I longed to somehow — some day — join their ranks and share the joy of gaming with others.

And now that day has arrived.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m now working for n-Space, Inc. as the company’s Social Media Consultant. This newly created position will help n-Space amplify its messaging on various social networks, building the reputation and engaging the audience of an already vibrant company. It’s a role I’m thrilled to accept, especially since it means I get to help promote Heroes of Ruin, one of the year’s most anticipated Nintendo 3DS games!

But what does this mean for you? Simply put, it means there could be some very fun opportunities coming for StreetPass Network groups and members. My dual perspectives as company and community advocate will foster new ideas and conversations as I pursue exciting ways to unite game makers and players for the benefit of all. That’s why I encourage you to continue supporting your local group. The fun is just getting started!

Thanks again for being part of this worldwide community! I look forward to seeing you at my Plaza Gate!

Soar to victory May 19 in Kid Icarus events

StreetPass Network — Thu, 17 May 2012 03:59:49 +0000

Since the March 23 launch of Kid Icarus: Uprising on the Nintendo 3DS system, legions of fans have experienced the game’s action-packed multiplayer features. To make it easier than ever for fans to come together, Nintendo of America has created a Multiplayer Battle Day Meetup Everywhere community that people can use to organize their own local Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer tournaments, meetups and social gatherings.

Fans and Nintendo 3DS users are encouraged to get together and battle it out on Saturday, May 19, which has been designated as Kid Icarus: Uprising Multiplayer Battle Day. Using a broadband Internet connection or local wireless connection, players who own a Nintendo 3DS and Kid Icarus: Uprising can compete in the game’s frenetic multiplayer modes, whether battling it out in three-on-three Light Versus Dark mode or six-player Free-for-All mode. The 20 groups with the most participants will receive special Kid Icarus: Uprising premium items such as AR Card packs and T-shirts, while supplies last.

Meetup Everywhere is a simple-to-use online platform that enables followers to coordinate local, real-life meetups based on shared interests. Nintendo 3DS users who are interested in sharing Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer experiences, trading AR cards with others or exchanging in-game weapons using StreetPass are invited to visit http://www.meetup.com/nintendo3ds to find events in their area or to plan their own meetups.
