1 really cute Sasha cosplayer, complete with sea bass plushie
1 guy who saluted me and told me I was doing great by StreetPass Mii Plaza and “reviving” it somehow
2 other people who forgot to bring their DS/2DS/3DS consoles to the event today

You managed to go to Nintendo Live? Fun, we don’t have anything here in Europe
What! SURELY there’s all the Pokémon Go events held all over parts of Europe, right?
I don’t know, never played Pokémon Go and I’ve never heard about any of the events
Can’t really expect much from Nintendo here in the UK when their HQ is a tiny office in Windsor Town Centre
when their HQ is a tiny office in Windsor Town Centre
So you see their building a lot?
No, I’ve just seen it online on a YouTube video, think it was about StreetPass funnily enough too
Oh really? Was someone trying to get one of the special Miis out of that building in the video?

Kickass list, the two male ACNH playera cracked me lol. One cosplaying and the other in normal clothing is the most adults-but-homies thing ever

It’s essentially an event that Nintendo hosts in various regions (primarily Japan, but there has been events in Hong Kong/Taiwan, Australia/New Zealand and the United States) that allows people to try out various Nintendo titles and see various experiences (such as having a concert).
I think it might be better sending you a link to some information about Nintendo Live instead of trying to explain it

A bit bigger? Come on, that’s an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!
Actually, here are two pictures from the event!
Isabelle, Pikachu, Mario, and Luigi were all in their respective zones and interacting with the general public.
