We are proud to announce the upcoming StreetPass London event! In addition to the usual multiplayer shenanigans we will be playing the brand new Square-Enix epic Final Fantasy : Explorers! Those of you with your own copy (the game is released on January 29th, so 2 days before the event) are encouraged to bring it along, as there will be plenty of opportunity to play cooperatively with others using your own character! For those of you without ; fear not... We will be showing the game off using demo copies and demo 3DSes. This means all attendees will get a chance to play Final Fantasy : Explorers with one another!
Another game we'll be playing together is Lightwood Games' Wii-U title Word Party! This 5-player party game offers brand new word games mixed with unique multiplayer versions of classics. There will be a tournament in this title open to all, with the top prize being a copy of the game itself!
Aside from these we will, as usual, be playing all your multiplayer favourites. Expect games of Mario Kart 7, Zelda : Triforce Heroes, Pokémon XYαΩ plus many more! Our attendees tend to have impressive gaming collections, so regardless of what you want to play (even if it's something a little more obscure) you're bound to find someone to game with! There will also be various Wii-U games available to play, such as Smash 4 and Mario Kart 8
In terms of venue : we've looked far and wide to find you a space that was :
- central
- easy to get to (great transport links)
- spacious
- state-of-the-art (so we could show off those Wii-U games on a glorious projector)...and have managed to tick every box with the Stockwell Community Centre! The centre, which is less than a mere 3 miles from Centre Point, is served by a plethora of tube and bus routes (the Northern and Victoria lines both run into Stockwell Tube Station). It's a lovely, clean space, and you're all sure to love it.
This event is supported by Nintendo, Square-Enix and Lightwood Games. We will also be assisted on the day by our friends from StreetPass Southend, NSG and, ofcourse, our wonderful StreetPass London Buddies!
As always this event is FREE to attend!
We expect :
– those under the age of 16 to be accompanied at all times by a responsible adult. For clarification of what we mean when we say ‘responsible’ please see here : http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/responsible

Tue22Mar20167:00 pmLoading (The Secret Weapon) 25 West Ham Lane, Stratford, London, E15 4PH
RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/625782214227025/
Hi everyone, Loading Bar Stratford’s "Video Games Expert": Mat Jones here, ready to invite you to another one of our famous get-togethers. I’ve been given the chance to celebrate one of my favourite things: Residential Evil. I personally know a lot about this after definitely hearing about it before today.
President Evil is best known as the iconic film franchise starring Kate Beckinsale in her battle against some nasty umbrellas. Perhaps you might not have known that the series originally began as a handful of video games on the PlayStation Two!
Please join us on March 22, the 20th anniversary of the release of the first game, Resident Weevil Zero, to celebrate the life (or more accurately, being undead on account of all of the game’s iconic werewolves!) of this landmark "horror survival" franchise.
We’ll have a series of special cocktails available like our signature “B-Virus” or our “Health Plants”. We’ll also have a chronological list of the main games in the series, like Project X Zone and Pocket Fighter.
I’ve reached out to Namco Bandai to see if they want to get involved but I haven't heard a response yet.
If you’re a fan of the series I hope you join us and if you’ve somehow never heard of The Resident Evil (or as it’s known in Japan: Bad Zone) then I hope this event serves as a revelaiton.

Wed06Apr20166:30pm to 10pmRoyal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, London, SE1 8XX
RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/254496551548856/
We are pleased to announce we've been accepted to run a StreetPass London event as part of the London Games Festival! So as to not coincide with the 'Now Play This' event on April's first weekend, or the mighty Rezzed, which is taking place on the second (both of which are also part of the festivities) we decided to host our first ever weekday get-together!
StreetPass London is a chance for those who own the Nintendo 3DS games console to get together and play its multiplayer titles with other 3DS fans. This is done by utilising the console’s local wireless capabilities. Our next meetup looks set to take place at the Royal Festival Hall (also known as the Southbank Centre). We look forward to basking in its relaxing surroundings and enjoying some chilled-out gaming.
What games can you expect the other attendees to be playing? I can confirm our attendees tend to have large collections, which they often bring along with them. This means that ; even if you’re gagging for someone to play a more obscure 3DS title with (such as Tekken 3D Prime) there’s a good chance you will find someone with it who wouldn’t mind giving you a match or two. The most popular games at our events include Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Legend of Zelda : Tri Force Heroes and Pokémon.
The initial get-together spot will be at the Festival Terrace entrance, where the group will be between 7:30pm and 8. We will then move on to a quieter spot in the venue, which we will post here (we, hence, seriously recommend bringing along an internet-enabled device). If worst comes to worse and you miss this initial get-together don’t fret however, as staff members will be popping down to the entrance at regular intervals throughout the event. You can spot us easily as we wear darkish green tops with our StreetPass logo on the front and back, and the Nintendo logo on the sleeves.
For the full list of activities taking place at Games London, plus further information on the Festival, here's the website : http://www.games.london/
This is a free event.
3DS fans under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied by a responsible adult.
See you there!

The summer event is always larger, with more stage shows, stalls and game demos, so if you enjoyed the Christmas Market, Hyper Japan Festival is definitely worth coming to!
Visit Cakes with Faces - come and say hello and get our cute and colourful t-shirts, dresses, cushions, watches, gifts and our How to Make Sushi comic - you can see everything on www.cakeswithfaces.co.uk
Hyper Japan's our favourite show, all about Japanese culture both traditional and modern, with stalls, Japanese food, bands, performers, cosplay, anime, manga, games, arts and crafts. I'll be posting more details nearer the time, along with a floorplan about a month before the show.

MUSIC:
GALAXY WOLF
Galaxy Wolf returns to GamerDisco following the recent release of his excellent new album Detonating Star Systems on Tokyo-based chiptune label Cheapbeats. Expect the very best Game Boy beats and bass from outer space!
https://soundcloud.com/galaxy-wolf
https://cheapbeatsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/detonating-star-systems.MPEGASUS
.mpegasus is rather partial to beeps. His sound is drawn from the 8-bit era of home computers like the Spectrum and c64, mixed with heavy bass and crunchy drums to leave each track existing in a temporal limbo between the past and the future. It sounds weird, is what I’m getting at. Melody reigns supreme here, but more than ever you might find the ground a bit wobbly underfoot.
