3DS Streetpass Experiences

Back from the Zelda symphony, 80 street passes (arg no 100 in a day achievement).

I had to cut the fat and only check puzzle pieces, though I wish I'd had time to go though gardening and monster manor with that many guests.
 
Another problem I have , I don't always have certain games on me to check the streetpass goodies!

So lucky, I only get Mario Kart 7 and New Super Mario Bros 2 tags (unless you have to play a game for it to show up)

Street passes have been more scarce than usual for me lately.

Animal Crossing was off screen and it also maxed out for me at 50. I also got around 15 and 12 Soul Hackers and SMT4 tags. Also got 14 Etrian Odyssey tags , don't know how useful they are since I already beat the game.
 
I got three passes yesterday and so fired up the new games.

First up was Squad where I was on 5-3. Made it through first time with my three guys (almost a perfect run too just got hit by the boss, ugh) and overall loved the final stage.
So… Squad complete!

Next up was Garden where the three guys helped me to bloom the Phantom I was working on. Without really realising, it was also my twentieth plant. Master Gardener! Now hopefully Mendel shuts the hell up now :lol.
So… Garden complete!

Now I'm in Battle and feeling reckless. I've been putting off the Emperor for about a week as I'm a touch over 200,000 units and he has just a bit more than me. 665,000. But I'm on a roll now so I think why not?
Despite the 450,000+ army difference, I beat him!
So… Battle complete!

I finished off three of the games with the same three passes.
Just thought that was kinda crazy :)
 
I'm only missing few of the old achievements. beside stuff I'll get over time (pass ten golden pants) and some that will be solved at gamescom (100 passes in one day) there is one fucking achievement that just won't work out for me:


Find Mii(1): Do MISS three hits in a row.

that shit is impossible. I did everything that was to do in Find Mii 1+2... but that one...

is there ANYTHING I can do to influence the outcome of this.
Olaying find Mii for the 26th time now because of this.
 
Just use pink magic, it increases your chances of critical hits which wayyyyy increases your chances of missing (as it'll be critical strike or nothing).
There's another magic you can use it with to make your chances of missing even higher. It might be yellow magic to cause a sandstorm but I'm not 100% on that.

But yeah, just casting pink magic with my first Mii was enough for me to get it.

uhhhh... that's a great suggestion.
thanks for it!
 
So I bought this system a little under two weeks ago purely just to play Animal Crossing, but the Streetpass stuff is really cool. Wish my iPhone had something like it. I just bought the 4 Streetpass games and they all seem fun in their own way.

It'd be nice if I could merge people I meet with the people I've recently met and am still playing with though.
 
I'm tempted to buy any of the new minigames just because of the new hats and suits, they look really cool. Will I be able to have access to all the hats by buying just one of the new minigames?

You can get up to 22 hat tickets from each one of the games and you can use one ticket to buy any hat you want when it is available in the exchange booth, so you will be able access any of the new hats (except the two you get for buying a game then completing it) but you won't be able to get all of them.
It's also worth noting that the different games hand out hat tickets at different rates with some of them (Streetpass Battle/Warrior's Way) being straight up impossible to get unless you live in Japan. If you want to get a game just for the new hats and suits then Squad/Mii Force is your best bet because the achievements are relatively easy to complete and most people say it's the best game anyway.
 
Edit: Nevermind...

All the ticket based ones, yes you'll have access; although you won't get enough tickets to buy them all.
 
Thank you guys. I think I'll just be getting Squad Mii for the moment then, and if there's more hats I'm interested in after finishing it I'll have a look at the rest.
 
Basically a hint for find mii (1, 2, and secret) to get all the hats. Do every path 2 times. Find Mii 1, this is obvious how to do, play it two times. The rest are easy to figure out though as even though there are places you can change paths, there are general "paths" to follow that are pretty easy to decipher. The only thing is, on secret quest, the 2nd to bottom and bottom paths include many of the same rooms with one branch that comes back. The bottom right room needs to be hit 3 of the 4 times you go through that (ex: 2nd to bottom path, hit it the 2nd time on that path, last path, hit it both times).

Hope that helps.

So wait...there are more hats than there are tickets? How do you get the rest after you get all tickets?
Click to expand...

well, they is the pixel Mario hat for free. then you get a hat for every game you but and for every game you beat.
that's nine hats without the need of tickets.
 
It took me a while to realise that I couldn't streetpass with a "suspended" DS game. I just thought for a few days nobody was carrying around a 3DS.
 
...after the substitution of the R button (not working)

The clock of 3DS was "back in time" at 1/1/2011 ...and when i restore the right date the 3DS don't see other 3DS.

The wifi is working ...we play multi Animal Crossing New Leaf offline.

Anybody can help me?

Could just be a temporary hitch. From what I understand, you said your button wasn't working and you had to take apart the 3DS (by taking out your battery, which reset the date). I know there was a time when a co-worker and I didn't streetpass for a whole day, I'd say give it 24 hours.

I totally forgot; but you already tried changing hats on your Mii, right? That usually sorts out issues due to losing power. Which I guess the clock resetting is like.
Its the tech support equivalent of have you tried turning it on? How about hitting it? How about counting till 10 then hitting it more if it doesn't work?
 
Quick question: do you need to be in the home menu when in sleep mode in order to pick up Streetpass tags, or can the system be in sleep mode with a game running? Basically do I have to quit out of Animal Crossing before I close the system and head out?

It depends on the game. Some disable wireless functions or something like that. OOT3D is one I know for sure.

I don't know about AC:NL, but I'm sure someone else does.
 
Just an update on my Tags progress.
20130728_200812_zpsac577fe0.jpg


Going to get more on Tuesday at the StreetPass NYC Highline event, which if anyone would want to join us and get more tags, details can be found here. There is also an Animal Crossing event at Nintendo World Store on Friday, the very last of the events they're holding for this game, as well as the Pikmin 3 Pre-Launch on Saturday, and Pokemon Trainer Sundays the day after. I need to expand my team in Warrior's Way!
 
^ Now I regret not buying that hat!

Yep, but those are [fortunately] in the minority. Most games don't disable the tag functionality.
There are even some (like Luigi's Mansion and the Mii Plaza) that allow streetpasses even during gameplay (console lid open).
 
The last two times I've gone to Walmart I didn't get a Streetpass from the electronics department. Damn it, I don't want to spend all my play coin in Monster Manner.

Have you checked if you have blocked users? Systems Settings -> Data Management -> Reset Blocked-User Settings. If you blocked him by accident (or deleted him from the Mii Plaza), or vice versa, you won't get tags anymore.

StreetPass functions are sometimes buggy/glitchy, though.
I always get 3 tags 3 times per day (8*3=24, there are 4 3DS around, some times a fifth, mine included), but there are times where 1 or 2 consoles decide to "ignore" the others and do not perform the pass, even after more than 8 hours (and to get it to function again, you have to wait for the next scheduled turn, let's say, 16 hours).

Looks okay. I don't like it too much yet now I have a patio and a job at Flower Power. :/
 
Can anyone help me with the 4th treasure gem on Streetpass Squad/Miiforce?

The JPN wiki says: After the battleship to self-destruction to hit the terrain, it wiped out the hermit crab that is stuck in terrain

I know where its talking about but can't figure out what it means exactly lol.
 
I'm still curious to see how it will work in places packed-full of hotspots.

If 'Dave' walks down the street and tags 5 spots, then I follow minutes later, would I just pass 'Dave' once? Or 5 passes?

that's not the weirdest glitch.

i've got a glitch where both consoles do the streetpass tag but just 1 registers it. i found that today when my 3rd 3DS only had 1 tag from the others and both of the other 2 had 2 tags. how a 1-way tag happened i have no idea.

I have had:
- Freezes (Warrior's Way)
- Getting no notifications while in the plaza (no pink arrow letting you know new Miis have arrived)
And the weirdest of them all:
- Coin count not working / coins not getting added

On that last one, basically, if you start doing steps just before midnight and the day changes, you don't earn more coins during that day (you still get the 10 coins from the previous day, but system counts them as earned on the current day). Let me explain with an example I just performed:
Code: 
11:58h - 185 coins -  310 steps <--- day 1

---------- close lid ----------
--- shake for a few minutes ---
------- open console ----------

00:07h - 195 coins - 1037 steps <--- new day (2), step counter hasn't reseted

---------- close lid ----------
--- shake for a few minutes ---
------- open console ----------

00:15h - 195 coins -  695 steps <--- step counter got reset, but no coins were added 

---------- close lid ----------
--- shake for a few minutes ---
------- open console ----------

00:20h - 195 coins - 1639 steps <--- no coins were added

--------- new day (3) ---------

01:18h - 205 coins - 1281 steps

If it's the level I'm thinking of where you are chased by a ship there are some platforms with hermit crabs on them and you need to kill them all.
