Nope, I got two figure battles while my 3DS was sleeping with Pilotwings in it. You just have to make sure you set up your team and activated streetpass.Teknoman said:

I live in a tiny ass town, so I know damn well I won't get anyone. I might be heading to MLG on the weekend, so if I'm gonna get any hits, I know I'll get some there!

As sad as this will sound, I think StreetPass is the equivalent to WiiConnect in the 3DS... it won't work as intended, and it will do nothing in the long run.

If you got it through Street Pass, you have to use it right then - as in, the first time you enter Mii Plaza after StreetPassing some people, only in that session can you use them in Find Mii and the puzzle.Busaiku said:

I'm actually looking forward to going to school tomorrow, and I've got a final I haven't studied for. Now that's playing with power!

Go into the Figures option on the main menu and then street pass is there.

Sorry I am a bit behind. What is streetpass exactly? The 3DS send out a constant signal that other 3DS systems detect, and adds a Mii from any system it detects? What do you do with these people you "meet"?
SpotPass =/= StreetPass.DisenLedZep said:
And good news, SpotPass works great. Got the first update from Capcom earlier today. Pretty neat.
Disabled by default. Unless someone got into the Home menu using the bypass and knew where to go and what to change you probably won't have any luck.angelfly said:

For the Mii Plaza, you can use them to advance in a couple of minigames. For the rest of the games both "passing" people share, it's up to each game. For example SSF4 has a action figure battle, Nintendogs adds people you pass in real life to the streets in the game and Ridge Race shares ghost data records. And you don't need to have games running, just configure StreetPass on on each game/app and all possible data will be exchanged at once when the system is on sleep mode with wireless on.

I'm going to make a cute female Mii to troll Streetpassers.
At the same time, I wouldn't take my 3DS anywhere outside of maybe the office for breaks.
I have no one to troll. DDD:

Okay that's pretty freaking cool. To be honest I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the original GBA. I really have missed a TON of great Nintendo games over the past few years. My thought was I could buy a 3DS + 3DSware or whatever it will be called, and catch up on a significant amount of the games I have missed. Sound like a plan?
The eShop will have 3DSWare titles and DSiWare titles, but full DS games still need to be played via the cart.The_Inquisitor said:Okay that's pretty freaking cool.

Not that it should discourage you. DS has hundreds of fantastic titles, and dozens of games that I would consider to be some of the best of their generation. The home consoles just don't have as huge of a library of gems as the DS (and arguably the PSP) do.

You don't think they will be releasing full DS titles onto the thing remastered over the next few years?
You never know, but I would bet against it.The_Inquisitor said:
They might do something similar to Xbox Originals, but I'm not sure about the remastering thing. I know that they're going to be offering demos of 3DS games so I'm sure they have the capability of allowing full DS games to be downloaded and played - whether they'll capitalize on that ability is a different story, though.
I wouldn't rule it out. It has happened with DS games, titles that were retail in one region became downloadable DSWare games in other regions. That wasn't an option for many DS games due to the DSWare size limit, but with the much bigger storage the 3DS offers, I think we might see a few full DS games released as downloadable titles on 3DS.The_Inquisitor said:
I've walked probably 6 miles around London and Brighton in the last 2 days, had my 3ds with me, I got 2 hits, one in London and one in Brighton. Come to think of it I must have walked past 4 or 5 demo units so I guess they don't have it turned on, which seems like a wasted opportunity.
I think it's great as an incidental thing, getting home and realising I've got a notification is kind of cool. I really hope no one tries to turn it into something you pro-actively seek out though because it will start to get creepy as fuck, I can just imagine the crowd of grown men hanging around school gates hoping to get some streetpasses before work.

No hit so far but I've only taken it to my workplace and I go there by mountain bike - not too many opportunities for street-passing I guess. Will try in the city on the week end. Gameshops is probably the safest bet I guess.

I used to do this too
I remember when I first moved into a new block of flats, one night I randomly fired up Pictochat and somebody was in one of the chat groups!
So I joined and wrote hello........ They disconnected.
Not even a single reply. That is my entire Pictochat history :'(
(except getting 4 DS' together and having epic games of Hangman with family. Those days were pretty cool)
I'm loving the streetpass quest thing. Got a couple of colleagues in the office with a 3DS so I now have a small team. Only shame is that I can only use hats on my streetpass mii. I'd like to use it both on the mii's in the mii maker (so it shows up in games etc) and also I'd like to put cat ears on my friends

I got one while walking through town the other day, was really pleased as I practically live out in the countryside so not that many chances.
Will take some later tonight, when I get home.VOOK said:
Mainland Europe 3DS that came with mostly Scandinavian manuals, 0-day update applied.
The local retards were not able to translate the user manuals into the local language in time so technically the consoles should not be on sale at all. EU regulations.

I've had a fair few round my uni - about 7 total. I get a little bit excited each time as it's rather cool. I'd only been up an hour today and got one!
My favourite one is that I Streetpassed someone I know - but I didn't actually see them that day, so they uh, must have gone past on the floor below or just somewhere nearby.
