Some quick grabs:
Hah. I had some random japanese mii's appear in my Plaza the other day after going on the community section of Mario Kart 7 too.
Plus the Friend icon pops up on the lower half of the top screen. Didn't think that was there before.And now there's an Orange Dot on the Friend's Icon when you can join someone's game.

So unless the eShop's updates were just behind-the-scenes stuff, I'm thinking we may have to wait until the normal Thursday update to see what new features were added.

You should have gotten one from a bird.
Monster Hunter Tri G demo is up. But for Japan eshop only.
Woah, early release then, nice! How much is it?
I don't see any on the Aussie store. Interestingly, retail games are now listed as "not available on the eShop" instead of "available in stores" - either they're gearing up for DD for full retail titles (please!) or they're trying to make things crystal clear for those without a clue (yeah this is probably what it is).
Hey, they added a QR scanner -- finally.
On the Home Menu, tap L or R to pull up the mini camera, and you'll see a QR symbol on the bottom corner of the screeen. Tap it and you're prompted to align the code in the camera. Once you do so, it displays the website URL and prompts you to tap A to switch to the web browser.
Nice.

Wow. Cool. Also, I keep forgetting the 3DS has a web browser.
No IP lock, but you have to get a Japanese 3DS

Me neither. Thanks a lot, Boney!
Oh wait it's in the coming soon to eShop, had a trailer and price so I mistook it.
eShop is down, but in the retail part showed a wide range of games and said in red for all of them, "unavailable in the eShop"
I'm guessing that's demos.

So I can now find Miis by playing online or something? Confused by the map thing.
Tried it out, works well. Surprisingly quicker than the scanner on my S2.

Map is a visualizer of all the people you've streetpassed before.

So I take it the recordings are in a standard format?

My JP 3DS is still saying the shop's under maintenance. Huh.

Oh, so if someone is from a certain area of Canada and I get them on StreetPass, that area will light up?
Yes please.

That's my understanding. I've never visited any of those states, but I'm pretty sure out of my 500 tags at PAX, they cover that range.

Sequel to Find Mii? Fuck Yeah! Best update ever!

Really smart of Nintendo to drop this right after Mario Kart - didn't even see this thread at first - just noticed a bunch of friends were in the E-Shop or Mii Plaza all at once and then saw the thread here.
Took a quick 3D video, but the lighting is terrible in my house for that. Got my free puzzle piece for Donkey Kong Country Returns, and still need to beat the first Find Mii! to see the the new content.
Also, yeah, the accomplishments are completely laughable where I live as well. Only have had one Street Pass since owning the system, and it was just from going over a friend's house.

If they really wanted to they could combine gifting with eShop downloading while in sleep mode and the new messaging app.
So you could gift someone an eShop game, bundle a video/sound/text message with it, and have it appear on their system via sleep mode downloading.

I'm sorry, but your Mii is in another castle.
Actually, didn't some interview mention buying online and redeeming QR codes?
It might still be possible...
If youtube understands it, it seems to be the case. Haven't messed with the AVI files yet.
I updated and captured some videos. Works well and the framerate is good.
They fixed the low-light filter too, it did nothing before.
