3DS Streetpass Experiences

I tagged two people today, but lost the ability to use them for the Puzzle and Find Mii game, waited too longer after having them go into the Plaza. :(

You can wait to long after having them go into the plaza? How long do you have?

I'm not sure, but apparently you lose the ability to use them in either game after a while. Unless it's if you turn off the system? I don't remember if I turned it off after I added them to the Plaza. :/ Still a shame that I lost them, as StreetPassing someone right now seems so rare!
 
I think the main problem with getting anyone in StreetPass is that most people don't leave their systems in sleep mode. I'd imagine kids and even most adults in general will turn their system off if they aren't using it thus disabling the feature. I really doubt most people will even read the instructions on how to work StreetPass.

So what are Gaffers using as their personal greetings?

"HeyEarlyAdopter!"

I changed it from "How's it going?" because that was boring.

Tried plugging Radiant Historia but I can't get "Buy Radiant Historia!" to fit. :(

You have as long as you want - as long as you don't exit Mii Plaza.

Nah, it's if you go out of the plaza after greating them that you lose them for the Mii Plaza games. I had it happen to me once with two Miis, it's so frustrating when you don't know !

For those having problems heres a few thinks I Think you need to do.

1st: Streetpass will not work while the system is on the main menu or in ames. Some games support streetpass while on and ingame like Nintendogs since when I press the Home button it shows streetpass where internet usually is.

2nd: Not only do you need to have activated streetpass in the Mii Plaza app, you also need to have invite miis on. I think....I think I read that in the manual. Have bad memory so not sure.

3rd: you also have to have wireless on. The wireless switch is on the side and will blink yellow while the 3DS is closed if streetpass is working properly.

4th: for every other game you have to activate street pass in game.

Just trying to help. I have'nt gone anywhere yet but tomorrow I'll be out and about. With it. I hope I pass someone. Or you know more than one.. :)

So yesterday I was trying to Streetpass with a co-worker who I sit next to at work and couldn't do it. I've tried all these steps, and nothing seems to help. When I'm sitting here I even see my 3ds is in "Streetpass" mode (when I look at the Wi-fi indicator in the upper left corner of the home menu). Any other tips or things we should try. I've double checked both of our settings for the Streetpass Mii Plaza...

Yeah, but they will soon learn from friends using it about that feature, and will love the green light. Or, I hope so...

I think I might stalk around some schools from now on to get streetpass hits... lol that would be creepy.

Not creepy if it's college. Just slink through the library and computer labs, you're sure to vacuum up a few hits. Getting tons of pings at my school.

Seems my University is strict Iphone/Ibook/IMac/Ipod/Iwhatever territory. Like I said before, I managed to get a hit today at Innsbruck while running like crazy from one train plattform to the other. Had to travel 400 km to get a streetpass hit^^

Wait you can't just close the 3DS while in the main menu to use Streetpass? I don't have any 3DS games so what should I do, open up Mii Plaza then close the 3DS?
 
Took my 3DS with me on launch day to get a coffee and received 2 Mii hits. I checked my 3DS after seeing this thread and noticed I've received my third!

I guess this is a benefit to living in a densely populated country.

No streetpass works the moment you close your system. Doesn't matter where in the menus you are. If anything, It doesn't work if you have a game opened.
 
I'll be going through a couple airports tomorrow. Hopefully I get some hits. I'll let you all know if anything cool happens with my streetpass
 
15,000 steps in Manhattan today (including the World Store) and only one connection early in the morning in the Met. Some guy from California.

I'm sad. :(

I think, in a month or two, you'll be getting hits in malls and large stores.
 
Got my first hit today in Manhattan. Not a normal StreetPass, but a Figurine Battle in SSF4. I went to Best Buy to try to get them to price match the Toys R Us deal and when they refused I went on down to TRU and picked up Nintendogs & Cats French Bulldog and Pilotwings. (Ghost Recon was completely sold out.) Got the hit somewhere along the way, though not sure where.

Didn't come with a regular StreetPass interaction, though. Is that normal? Nothing in my Mii Plaza. Guess it's possible they never activated that.

I won the fight, btw. Four out of five. Oddly satisfying.

It is normal if the guy did not allow StreetPass connexions in Mii Plaza, but did it in SSF4.

Going to Tokyo in a month, expecting to be spammed by visitors :D
 
I ran into someone on campus with the early adopter greeting, is one of you guys Rcade?

I had two hits today but no figurine battle.
 
reporting that today I interacted with 9 miis.

I'm getting closer to finish my Mario Galaxy Panel
 
Anybody in Minneapolis? No luck today on the U of M campus, but I'm hoping to get a hit or two by the end of the week.

Wandered around both the Computer Science building and the student union and didn't get a single pass. I'm kind of surprised.

I don't know too many people with 3DS's right now
 
I managed to get a StreetPass hit but only because I happen to be passing through an EB games store for a couple minutes, some kids were playing on the gaming consoles. Not sure if the one I got was from someone working there or some other random kids in the store. But it's cool to know this feature works... at first I wasn't sure what to look for, but apparently when the lid is closed, I see a green light for a StreetPass notification near the hinge.

I traded Mii's and Street Fighter IV info apparently
 
I've encountered 2 people so far. The first person allowed me to get a puzzle peice for that puzzle game, but the second one didnt. when i went to the puzzle game, it just said that i havent met anyone on the street recently.

Do not all Miis you encounter allow you to unlock a puzzle piece? Or am I maybe just confused about how I got that first piece to begin with?

I drove around Minneapolis/St. Paul for the past two days on the freeways but no luck. Morning/afternoon route to work.
 
The first piece is already in your possesion, to get more you have to meet other people with 3DS' out and streetpass trade stuff

My brother was having trouble connecting to my 3ds in Mii Plaza though I was able to connect to his and he showed up in mine (but I was unable to use him in the RPG game or collect a puzzle piece). I fixed it by deleting my wifi settings and we were able to connect to one another and play the games. Someone in gamefaqs speculated that the home wifi settings mess with the connection
 
Got a hit at city college today! I am addicted to Mii plaza! Now all we need is for Nintendo to tidy up the friends list and a nice analog of pictochat, online of course. 3DS is super awesome.
 
I really wish I could take advantage of this.. I want to get puzzle pieces and shit. Also need more coins so I can "hire" some dogs to fight for me.

I know about the first piece, so I should say I got the second piece when I got my first streetpass hit.

Do both parties need to be interacting in Mii plaza or something? I'm just trying to figure out specifically what you have to do to trade pieces.

I go to St. Thomas and got hit by somebody, surprisingly. Walked around Owens Hall for maybe 30 minutes today. Cool stuff.
 
My greeting is Rockband Rules!! Lol (huge RB nut) also haven't got many hits. Maybe tomorrow when I go out and about with my wife shopping.
