Nintendo Direct Mini for 7.18 just posted on Youtube

Does anyone know how this is supposed to work? Do you just pop into the location and wait for the green light?

I don't know what you guys are complaining about. I think this pretty cool. This will certainly make me pop into every McDonald's/Starbucks I see when walking around with my 3DS.

It is neat. I had given up on Streetpassing because I rarely found people outside of campus. However, it's hard for me to leave the house on a day out and not end up near a handful of these locations. Streetpassing may actually be a functional feature in the US now.
 
The Streetpass relay is neat. It's not about downloading 10 peoples data at once. The amount of available Nintendo Zones in most places means you'll hit a new street pass every time you turn into a new street, pass a mcdonalds or subway etc. All it means is the next time you walk through town, you'll still get a tonne of hits.

My only complaint about treating it like a streetpass with one go at a time, is it changes little for more rural areas. If your in a city, sure.., it also kinda sucks if your hopping to SP for a game like animal crossing.

It's something, but... :/

Has anyone else been unable to get the newer tumblr login to work on the 3DS? I've tried two systems and its a real peach to login to use image share.
 
Something about them mentioning Majora's mask in the Connect and the fact that the CN reward is the soundtrack tells me that they're teasing the remake...
 
The streetpass relay thing gonna feel kinda weird when you think about it. You may get streetpass from the other dude, but the other dude is not getting streetpass from you.

Will I need to connect to the Nintendo Zone location for the Streetpass relay, or is it as simple as just passing by? If so, that'll make trips into town pass by four or five Streetpass locales. Happy about this.
 
Fuck you nintendo, I didn't want to buy digital when I can have retail copies that aren't tied to my console, but your pikmin/W101 offer is tempting me.

I'm so conflicted right now :(
 
The very first person that comes by is the one to suffer ;)

Just thought of something. Does this mean you can streetpass yourself potentially?

You walk past a hot spot. Data is stored.
Nobody else with a 3DS passes afterwards.
You do the same tomorrow. Would you get a hit?!

Ha! No! The closest hotspot to me is 15 miles away according to Nintendos hotspot finder.

Probably a big improvement in towns though, I suppose.

The only issue I can think of is, I normally carry 2 3dses with me, going to be no bloody good if it starts giving me my own 3ds when I'm passing these :/.
 
add that in with Miyamoto spending the last 2 years teasing it. it's inevitable i think.

Oh hell yes

I have my N64 set up, and the cart is right there...I want to replay it, but if I did so and then the remake was announced, I'd be pissed off. I have to wait.

oh man, gliding through the water as a Zora, in a fluid 30fps in glorious 3D....

oh my god
 
Since someone asked for it... :lol

"ND focused almost entirely on W101"

Calling it. ND will end with a trailer that confirms Wonder Red for Smash Bros.
 
Love how the EU stream has the exact same script at times. Bill talked about "my strategies" during the Pikmin part, and then Shibata says the exact same thing.
 
This is what I was kind of been built up to believe also.

Kinda lame. Especially if everyone in your family has one, or you're w/ a group of people, only one of you will get the streetpass, or so it makes it seem (you swap your streetpass w/ the one in the nintendo zone).
