The new games feel a lot like Animal Crossing.

Infuriatingly wordy and slow if you're short of time or patience, but relaxing and satisfying if you can just do a little bit every day.

I failed to get the most out of Koizumi today.

He was my 9th pass, so I couldn't hire 2 yellow Miis to clear the poison-room in Quest.

I decided to go to the final boss of Mansion rather than take his puzzle piece and gift.

I wasn't the only one who noticed that... ;_;

It took me a long time but I finally got it eventually:

The flower actually spawned a seed that will grow a near-identical copy of itself at 100% (only the color is different) and I have a few seeds at 60% chance of generating a Squirrel's Ear that also fulfill the requirement. If you come to MAGFest, one of these flowers will be what I have on hand at all times.

Well I went to the Symphony of Goddess concert here and man, juggling two 3DS with streetpass is intense. I quickly realized I would only have time for puzzles and getting people for warrior's way.

What is ironic is that I didn't get far enough in ALBW to get the streetpass function, kicking myself for that :P But I made a lot of progress on the puzzle front, almost up to speed with all the pink pieces... again. And I met a dude with 999,999 troops, insane dude.

I'm nearly done with my third play through and have reached that. Pretty sure I started the play through with about 2 million as well...

I also finally got 300 groups joined ticket so now that is missing are the 300 monarchs ones (I get at most 3 monarchs in a queue of 10) and "get your first critical strike"...I have a feeling I'm beyond a point where that one is possible.

Pokemon is a good game for seeing how many tags you missed (as it has a queue limit of 99). Shame its streetpass is useless for anything else though.

So relay points only transfer Streetpas Plaza data, right?

Nope, game-specific data too.

But I'm pretty sure they only store 1 per game, per relay, not 6 like for Plaza.

Finally completed Arcade mode on Mii Force, it was complicated by the fact most people seem to wear red but that's the worst gun. I think I'm only missing one thing nwo, and that's 'Get a second plaza ticket from a gold chest'. I've been putting down only one colour but is there any way of helping this one along? After it's done I'm finished with all of the games.

But they have the advantage of keeping data until someone can make use of it. So your New Leaf village will eventually go to someone who also owns the game.

Just a matter of whether they still play it.

That's weird. I've been getting 12 streetpasses a day, consistently, for a couple of weeks now. No Animal Crossing passes. :/

How does the game data transfer work? I haven't played SMT IV in a while; will I still get passes for that? How will I know? I am playing FE now and the little green circle pops up when I get a pass. But since I have a physical copy of SMT IV there is no notification, is there?

Man, the Emperor in Warrior's Way is "the PC is a cheating bastard" kind of bullshit.

Just make sure you are creating the largest rooms possible without making smaller rooms on the way. Make a one thickness outline that a five-piece can fit inside on a floor you've already cleared and just wait for that shape piece to come in, and keep a can of magic paint on hand if you need it. My largest rooms were shaped like this before getting the final piece to complete the room in the middle:

Code:

I have physical copies of a few games with streepass features. You neither need to have the game inserted to get streetpass tags nor do you need the game to be inserted to see notifications. There is a dedicated notifications page on the top of the 3DS home screen.

I haven't played SMT IV specifically though. Three possibilities:

1) The option is not turned on in the game (or within your system options). Have you ever gotten a streetpass tag for it?

2) Your streetpass que for that specific game might be full. I stopped playing Animal Crossing a while ago so my que has been stuck at 30/30 since that time. The title has sunk down in my notifications page over time as I have continued to use streetpass with other titles.

3) It could just be an indication of the game's popularity. Out of a couple thousand streetpasses I have only gotten a dozen or so tags for Concentration Training and I have never gotten one for Soul Hackers.

I did one of those a few days ago.

7 or 8 gold chests. So good.

Warrior's Way is the less worth it, but in the "pay 3 get 4" it is a cool game to have for more tickets.

Mii Force is a very interesting arcade style airship shoot em up with lots of deph and fun arcade gameplay. It is by far the one where skills matter most and my favorite to spend coins in.

The Flower one is Animal Crossing levels of crack addiction and depth. The main Mii is a little boring, but the game is so vast on what you can do for a flower game that it is awesome.

Monster Manor is a mix of tetris and active turn based battles.
Very interesting and huge, specialy if you are a "omfg must make huge floors with the same colors" type of person. Slightly on the easy side (at least on the first 10 floors ...i am a VERY slow person xD) but has by far the best mii npc after Nikki

Each persons color translates into a weapon like red people are fire and you have the option on the bottom screen where to put them. there are three different front slots and one in back. if you have two or three of the same color in the same slot it powers up that weapon. like two red people in the same slot back to back then its a level 2.

Actualy that is false.
You don't need to have of the same color, just any other pods behind it for a level 2 or 3

Oh my gosh, I never realized until that photo above that you could rotate the orientation of the guns in Mii Force...that sure would make some stages easier :P

Holy "How to fast travel in Link Bewteen world" !!!

How does you people miss these kinds of explanations ? =O

Thanks for the input everyone. I went ahead and got Flower Town. :) Might pick up the rock/paper/scissors one later but I don't like being frustrated and I doubt I'd ever find 20 people who also have the game.

What do you mean, "You people"? :-P

Haha, I know, I know, it's embarrassing.
