What I did was I took it to the mall and got some hits. When I went to my buddies afterwards I got a hit before I made to his living room, weird.
My brother has a plaza of like 347 people thanks to a con. ALL THE TROOPS!
I don't know how successful they have been in europe.
Out of the ~50 passes I have had since the new games launched, only 5 people have played them.

So I realized scrolling waaaaay up that in the new update, there's a threshold where Miis you've obtained via Streetpass eventually become Invite Miis. Does the new update let your plaza population increase beyond 3000?

Quick question, if I have a queue of StreetPasses waiting for me, will I still get to use them after I load Mii Plaza and purchase the new games or will they be used up first before I have the chance to buy?

This is so lame. I can't do the Battle one because I can't get any troops. I have about 3000 dudes and the only person I pass has 80000 since she got the update a long time ago and just kept using mine to give her new troops since it doesn't count as a repeat if they don't own the game.
What? D:
I constantly do streetpasses with a console that has +600 Miis in its plaza. So, you are saying that if that console gets Warrior's Way/StreetPass Battle, I won't be getting those 600 Miis each time we pass each other anymore? The Miis are added once, one time only, and that's it? Because the would suck SO freaking much.

If the other person owns the game, you get two options. Either greet them, in which case they go away and you get no Miis, or you can battle them. If you win that battle, you get extra Mii's equivalent to half their army. So, if you're lucky, you can get thousands of Mii's that way.

So are any of the new Plaza accomplishments known yet?

I love these new hats so much.
Online Mario Kart 7 is the way I can think of. Just keep entering matches and disconnecting.
I have been gifted about 700 troops from a friendly greeting with my JP 3DS that has 37,000 troops (there's no way I could win that battle w/ the starting NA 3DS army), so you can get some from greeting. It's only happened once so far though.
In Garden you won't just complete an achievement as soon as you do it, Mendel will give you the hat voucher so you have to wait for him to do that.
I've completed an achievement before and then Mendel didn't mention it or give me the hat voucher until the next time I loaded it up to look at some Streetpasses.
I haven't found the stairs to the next floor yet.
I might have to take more care not to leave gaps when I'm starting with an empty floor.

Is there any way of playing the Streetpass games for us non-japanese? I live in a small town in Sweden and I would be surprised if more than 100 people here even owned a 3DS, let alone happened to walk by me while we both had it in our bag in sleep mode... StreetPass seems like such a huge mistake anywhere outside Tokyo.
Are there any community gatherings?

Go to big events like comic or games conventions.
and/or
make your girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/husband/brother/sister/best friend buy a 3DS so that you can streetpass him/her three times everyday

I think there was a talk that Nintendo were going to use wifi hotspots to distribute Miis. I don't think they put a timetable on that scheme, though.
I don't know if it would consist of random Miis, or even if you could spoof public networks at home like with Animal Crossing items (I think all the AC stuff is on the cart, so it's just reading the network name rather than exchanging data).
So yeah, a solution may be in the pipeline, but might take a while knowing Nintendo.

Strangely enough, I got a free $20 card after some trouble buying at a local store, so that was reason enough for me to get the Mii Plaza Bundle.
So far, I love Mii Force.
I have an anime convention to go to by the end of September, so I'll have plenty of street passes to take advantage of the new mini games.

That's cool. It would lose some of the excitement if I got Chris from New York when visiting McDonalds in Birmingham.

Damn it! This is so dumb! I bought the games on my spare 3DS to try and Streetpass myself to build my army. Now I don't get any troops at all as opposed to getting a couple hundred for every pass. Grrrrrrrr
My gf has been in love with my 3DS since she first saw it this sunday and immediately said she wanted her own with Animal Crossing, but I don't know... I kind of like us being in the same town on my 3DS

I've gotten plenty of streetpasses. The only ones I knew a tiny bit were some game store employees. And once I met up with someone to exchange a Kid Icarus: Uprising weapon. But I met him on the internet, not through streetpass first. That's it.
Still waiting to meet a potential wife through streetpass.
... ... ...okay, maybe not, but it would be a nice bonus.

A few weeks ago there was the Japan Expo event in France, I used this opportunity to Streetpass hundreds of people (something like ~300 in 4 days) and play as much as I could with the new Streetpass game
So
- Garden is crap, it's slow it's boring and there's way too much talk, I found myself skipping it after two of the four days
- The schmup was way too fucking easy when you go for a level with the 10 streetpass cap, and I completed it too fast (there's approximately 15-20 levels), the replay value isn't that good so I think I'm already over with it
- Conquest/Battle has ridiculously huge spike of difficulty, something like you beat the crap out of a king with 50 000 soldiers and the next one is 200 000. I have around 240 000 soldiers now, the streetpass aren't giving me enough soldiers to make a steady progress and I haven't even conquer half of the country.
Basically I'm not playing most of the time, I check the streetpass, get something around 2 000 new soldiers and quit. And since the battle system is kind of lame anyway (fucking rock papper scissors, even if there are some kind of variations) I'd say that overall the game isn't really very fun to play
- Haunted House is by far the best one, I'm currently at the 21st floor and it's always cool to explore every floor and trying to create big rooms with a single color, the crafting is ok and the few fights here and there are welcome. Like the others game, the difficulty is almost absent except for the boss fight every five floors.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I've been really enjoying streetpass since I moved back to Japan. I live in Osaka city proper, so I pretty much get a guaranteed 10 streetpasses just carrying my 3DS in my briefcase to work. I've definitely been enjoying the new streetpass games a ton as a result as well. Tons of fun when you're actually regularly getting streetpass tags. i went from 7 to 146 in a matter of 2 weeks.
I feel like I deserve it, after having to endure never streetpassing with anyone but my roommate and the Best Buy demo unit when I lived in Colorado.

Is there still the 10 people limit for streetpass plaza after the update?
Sucks living in the UK for streetpassing This system feature is almost entirely useless over here, the odds of running into someone with a 3DS in sleep mode with streetpass enabled is incredibly low. Maybe at an airport or something, but other than that it just won't ever happen.
