“Last year, StreetPass NYC was proud to be a walking team for AIDS WALK NY 2011 and raised $280 in only five days”, said Jordan White, Founder and Event Organizer of StreetPass NYC. “This year, we plan on raising at least three times that amount. We are super excited for our partnership with Pokemon DS NYC as well as Next Level Arcade for allowing us to use their venue for this amazing event were gamers come together to help fight a global epidemic.”

On May 27th, from 12:00 Noon until 7:00 PM, Nintendo fans from all five boroughs can come down and compete in four amazing games: Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii), Kid Icarus: Uprising (Nintendo 3DS), Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo 3DS) and Pokemon Black & White (Nintendo DS).

Each tournament has a required donation fee of $5 per game tournament and players can compete in all or any mix of the four games. All proceeds for Super Smash Bros Brawl, Kid Icarus: Uprising and Mario Kart 7 (and 50% of Pokemon Black & White) will go to AIDS Walk NY and GMHC. There will also be a $1 entry fee to support Next Level for generously using the venue, providing the best equipment and having no age restrictions for participants.

Prizes for the final four winners will be as follows: Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart 7 and Kid Icarus: Uprising will receive a engraved crystal trophy with Brawl having the biggest trophy. Trophies will be engraved with the person’s name and can be picked up at Next Level after May 30th or to another venue per winner’s request. The first 15 registrants for Kid Icarus: Uprising will receive Kid Icarus AR Card Booster Packs and the winner will win 5 Kid Icarus AR Card Booster Packs and a Kid Icarus T-Shirt.
