The 6 tags per hotspot will probably only help rural people to be able to get tags on two systems at once. When I can currently pass a hotspot and get my mother's Mii a week after she visited the hotspot, it means there are simply not enough people in my area. They need to either make it send you 6 tags randomly from a centralized database of recent tags from all over the world, or just allow random StreetPasses over SpotPass, or StreetPass when you and a friend are online at the same time... just anything that broadens the scope for people who just don't have very many 3DS owners in their area.

I can understand your frustration though.

I got my first legit Japanese pass. Location: Morrisons at the self serve checkout.
I assume it was an international student. Must be hard for them going from getting 10 for walking down the street to 0.

Damn, sounded good until I researched the price and size.

The |OT| has a feature called "wonder trading" listed. The concept is you select a Pokemon in your PC to be wonder traded and you'll get whatever the passer has selected as their wonder traded Pokemon.
I don't know if that is all. I would hope not (I remember in Gen 3 secret base trades and contest results also happened whenever you traded with someone).
Sounds potentially cool.
But will most likely involve 20 low-level Pokemon going back and forth every day until I get sick of it and disable Streetpass.
£1.99 on a Thursday isn't bad.
I guess not? I remember Iwata saying that it would be up "in the next few days".

Guess it's a good thing I won't be getting the game. But I'll only be able to do two stores

Never noticed Mii Plaza until last week. Passed 7 people yesterday. Highest count yet and my first international tags.
4 locals. 3 on Animal Crossing, 1 on AA5 demo.
1 from another province playing Harvest Moon.
1 Brazilian guy playing MH3U.
1 Japanese girl playing MH4! Sucks remembering the game is already out. At least Pokemon is releasing soon.

StreetPass seems to have suddenly stopped working on my system today. My mother and I usually get a StreetPass from each other every 8 hours or so, but now it's been over 15 hours without a pass. She did get a pass from a relay point today after our most recent pass so the problem seems to be on my end. We both keep our queues cleared/play the games, neither battery has died, neither clock has been changed, we change our hats after every pass.
I've tried power cycling both systems, disabling and reenabling StreetPass for Mii Plaza on my system, switching wireless off and back on, etc. I'm really at a loss as to why it would suddenly stop working.
EDIT: Finally got a pass, about 16 hours later. So it's almost like it skipped one 8 hour cooldown. Maybe there was an error during the StreetPass we missed or something.

35 streetpasses within a 3 hour span at Nuit Blanche (all night art festival) in Toronto. A good haul.

Just tried again myself and also got six tags.
The problem was that I had my SSID set to "_The Cloud" and not "attwifi".
It seems only Khaz uses _The Cloud, haha.

That empty feeling goes away if you've purchased the DLC Streetpass games. It then transmutes into a feeling of dread at the time investment involved in clearing each queue.
I've beat all those DLC games except Warrior's Way (Takes forever to get a good amount of Soldiers) and the Ghost House (I'm on the 21st floor and have no idea if i'm at the end soon) game.

So you have all

On Monster Manor:
There's a final boss at floor 30 and that's as far as the plaza ticket asks you to go, but the game doesn't actually end there. I'm on floor 48 right now.

Did he come up as a Special Mii (sparkling, gold pants, etc)? More likely you got someone who copied him from when he was sent down during E3.
It's the real deal.
The message also says to continue visiting Nintendo Zone locations to try to meet more special Mii characters.
Fun fact: Aonuma doesn't own/have any of the Mii Plaza games

Strange, I JUST connected to one at a local Starbucks and got nothing. I might've gotten 1 tag from the relay feature, but nothing else.
Also, do you get bonus coins for connecting to a Nintendo Zone? I was surprised to see my coin count jump from 29 to 52. Over a couple days, but then I could have gotten more steps than I realized.

Can you streetpass him multiple times if you connect to Nintendo Zone in another 8 hours or is it a one time thing?It's the real deal.

If it's anything like E3 (and I'm sure it is), it's one time only (and your 3DS has to be set to USA in the country settings).
There are currently 6 3DS at home, of those only 2 are set to USA and those are the only ones that received Aonuma.
Got it tonight when I went to some random mall.

Knowing NOE they will make it we only ever get 9 special Miis for the whole life of the 3DS thus making the "met 10 special Miis" achievement impossible.
Btw, US GAF is Aonuma still growing the eggeseltian (or whatever it is called) in Flower Town.
Also Golden Pants has a small special effect in Mii Force (even if you re-hire them). What it is
There is a tiny gold ship that fires weak shots and is positioned a bit delayed compared to you

Wasn't one of the US Reggie that brown harpoon/shield thing?Too bad they're all dark green shitty blob though
Hmm, could just be that Birmingham is surprisingly quiet. I've only had 9 passes from the whole city centre.

Here's a recent screenshot of my streetpass map. Not sure what game is that on my last streepass from a Japan tourist.
Managed to kill the boss with 5HP remaining. And that was after using 2 potions in battle too.
Good thing I had a team-up with me.
What country is your 3DS set to? IIRC, the availability depends on that.
