just by taking a quick glance at the vita thread, I'm not sure why'd you'd want something similar

The worst part about the Vita thread is Takao getting closer and closer to an emotional breakdown with every post

I wasted too many coins trying to figure that room out.
You need 2 people with yellow shirts.
Cool thanks. I just lost 2 streetpass miis and a bunch of rehired heroes to that room
Don't worry too much about those yet. They are apparently given through SpotPass but nobody seems to have them yet.
I got a pink Donkey Kong Country puzzle piece from someone else in Streetpass the other day so they definitely aren't Spotpass only.
In fact, if anyone else has the Donkey Kong puzzle where are the pink spaces on it for you? Mine are in the centre four pieces of the puzzle and I'm starting to wonder if that's the same for everyone (In which case I have no idea how the guy I passed had one of them) or if the pink pieces are in different places for everyone so the idea is that the pieces that you can't get alone are normal for other people and Streetpass is the only way to get them.

He got it from SpotPass, the same way you got a "free" piece after the update. He just happened to get one of the pink ones.
Well, yeah. Once you get them on SpotPass, you can StreetPass them. What you definitely can't do is buy them with coins.
And yeah, I have the DKCR puzzle too, and the pink pieces are the four in the center. I also got the Pilotwings puzzle from a StreetPass and that one has the four center pieces colored pink too.
Nobody has claimed to have gotten a piece through SpotPass yet. Maybe they got the pink piece as their starting piece?

Stupid question: What does the footprint symbol at the top of the home menu mean?
Number of steps you've made for the day.

I feel your pain. Living in Belo Horizonte, bought my 3DS like... 3 weeks ago. Basically no one streetpassed yet. Though my local store said that they're selling shit tons of 3DSs. Maybe people are mainly buying them for their kids and they don't know shit about setting up the online options? Who knows.
It's suppose to be this month though I wouldn't be surprised if it slips into the next.

Me, exactly what is described there.
Sorry to hear this fellow gaffers
Try this:
Power off the 3DS, remove the SD. Power it on again and try the above mentioned problem. If it doesn't freeze again try replacing the SD

I'll give that a go tonight. Ive also emailed amazon to see if they are open to the idea of sending me a replacement and allowing me to do the transfer before returning the faulty one.
You should try Nintendo, they will probably ask you to send it in and either fix it or give you a new one and they will do the transfer for you. If you ever have issues with Nintendo hardware remember they have great customer service.
Unfortunately we do not get the same standard of customer service from Nintendo in the UK!
It's all contracted out to people called code storm who I don't have great confidence in.
Oh, didn't realize you weren't in the US, that sucks (about UK Nintendo customer service, not "it sucks you aren't in the US", well then amazon probably is your best bet.

I have this and would recommend it too. The full case has enough room for all the games you'd ever want to bring with you if you are going somewhere for a long time, and the pull-out part with the console is great for short journeys or if you just want to take it out on a walk to get some coins or streetpass hits.
Also you can't see it in that photo, but the pull-out part has space for two extra games in it too.
In my experience, you can't actually load the Pull and Go completely full of games... it's too tight in there when you do. Squishes the 3DS, can exacerbate screen scratching as a result, etc.
Plus the stitching on the small case started pulling loose, so I ended up switching to a much looser, softer case I got for $9 from Costco, cheap, the Power A Transporter. Much happier with that; I feel like my 3DS is going to be treated much better inside it, and I still get to carry a ton of games.

I own this as well, and it's amazing.Pull And Go Folio
The executive case comes out.
Highly recommended.

I bought that one for my DSi back in the days. it has gone through hell and back since then and it still looks fabulous and keeps the 3DS 100% safe. there's place for 6-8 games. the best part is that it's small and I can fit it easily in my pants sidepockets.
it's made my BigBen btw and cost me 5 euros years ago

Is Hulu Plus still scheduled to be released before the end of the year on 3DS and Wii? Not sure if I missed it in this update but it's something my family is looking forward to having.

Thursday is when new games come out on the E-Shop in the States. Big system updates can land on weird times on other days though.
Question about friends lists: If someone deletes you from their friend's list, does their name go back to waiting for approval on your system? Nearing 100 friends, and may need to make room soon.
I accidentally threw away my AR cards and never got to use them. They're not available at the eShop, but can I make new ones with a black and white laser printer or do they have to be in color?
Do they just activate preprogrammed 3D images or does the 3DS get data from the card like the eReader did or with QRcode?

They have to be color, but yes you can reprint them.
You can find them in PDF format in the Nintendo support site. Two tips:
1) Use a paper that doesn't bend easily.
2) Avoid glossy/photo paper: it's too reflective which messes up the detection.
3) For best results it's better to get them printed in a professional print shop, since they have awesome printers, all sorts of paper and precision cutters.

so, do we know how 'invite' works now that MK7 is released?

Yeah. You get a little Orange circle on the Friends List when someone is playing online.
You enter, it shows them in kind of yellow.
Click Join Game and it automatically loads you into their game.
They work fine in black & white -- I printed out different sizes, and all of them work fine in greyscale.

Doing this fixed it!
Apparently, this update is available in Europe and Japan.
Just downloaded it, no apparant changes ... maybe a fix b4 swapnote?

Well there is the option to copy your entire system onto the SD card. You could do that and get a replacement system, assuming Amazon does that (or code storm). That option preserves EVERYTHING
