A few weeks ago, Nintendo released four new StreetPass games for the 3DS. Unfortunately, it’s hard to reliably find StreetPass tags even when living in a densely populated area. Luckily, there is a way to guarantee StreetPass hits: conventions!

Despite our profound love for it, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars will unfortunately never have a true sequel. But the Paper Mario and handheld Mario & Luigi series have each become spiritual successors to the fan favorite role-playing game.

Shin Megami Tensei IV puts you in control of a young man from the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado. This Medieval kingdom holds a ritual to determine which of its youth are able to become Samurai, sworn protectors of the land.
