3DS Streetpass Experiences

One day walking around campus, nothing.

One time walking around Wal-Mart, nothing.

Hopefully tomorrow's campus expedition will yield results.

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.

Or find a 200+ student Computer Science Lecture, and stand outside once it gets out (Or just goto it, most large lectures won't notice an extra student)

I got three hits in my C++ class.

Seriously considering changing my Mii to one of the K-On! or Love Plus ones I snagged from the QR thread, though.

Maybe a different girl every day.

Hm...
 
I've had one every day I've worked in the city, and one in the middle of no where. Last night was quite fun, got streetpassed by some guy with RR data for the first time, and then again later that day. 4000 points combined in the game to spend was quite nice!

Still, despite working on the busiest part of central London, and commuting from the busiest local and national hub(s) in the city, I'm surprised now that I've only had 4 hits in 4 days...

It hasn't even been out there for a week yet, right? Give it a little more time. If it gets the same amount of market penetration that the DS did you'll be getting a dozen hits every day.
 
3 days out, and not everybody knows they gotta enabled StreetPass... and have the system on, and in sleep mode, WITH wi-fi enabled. We should be lucky we get hits at all.
 
I took mine around all day, even though I had no intention of playing while I ran my errands. Zero hits. At least I got some pedometer steps in.

I'm no longer in school though, and I live in the urban sprawl of LA. I'm not planning on having much luck with StreetPass, but I'll give it a try while it's still fresh.

Aye, its just that most of the people that bought a 3DS here are from central, its surronded by technology geeks. Maybe I need to come into work late like they do.... ^^

Anyway, It's a nice feature - I want to see what people have come up with ~
 
Gülüm from Berlin took my virginity today, presumably on the subway. It feels weird but I think I am ... happy?!

people need to stop looking. I don't think its supposed to be a 'seek out invisible miis', just a nice present when you next open your 3DS

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.

how did it notify you? Standard system notification, or something in the game?
 
I took the 3DS with me today to show it to a bunch of co-workers. During the trip I exchanged data with someone at the station or on the train or bus.
 
I've had 4 streetpasses since UK launch. One in a game store. Two in a restaurant-heavy area, and just now at starbucks with a beardy man named Dave.

3 of the 4 were able to assist in Streetpass Legend.

Seems like Streetpassing has potential in Britain.

This is pretty much the case. After I got back home from class yesterday, I noticed the green light on my 3DS, and I had StreetPassed someone I didn't even see. The day before I StreetPassed someone twice, but it was my friend, once when she was sitting across the table from me and the other when she was near me playing too.
 
I met one today. Surprised that it worked this fast to be honest. I was on campus for a few hours, but due to vacation there weren't all that many people. I probably met him/her in the train due to the time that was given.
 
For those who can't get street pass to work, from the bottom of page 7 in the manual:

"StreetPass functionality is not available during local wireless communication (page 39) or when connected to the internet."
 
still not a one. i think there is some kind of student holiday or reading week or something though? seems eerily quiet at the moment
 
How come this Mii I got only stands there in the Plaza and didn't give me a puzzle piece nor a fighter in FindMii?
 
I was amazed yesterday evening, for the first time I remembered to switch on the wireless going out and when I came back home I found a streetpass hit! Looks like he likes playing SSFIV.
Hit taken at 11:30 PM more or less, in Rome.

It sounds to me like you have to use them right away, if you leave the app and come back it's too late.

That's just what I hear, I haven't gotten anyone yet.
 
I also got one on my commute to work in Chicago. A "defyantone", if I remember correctly (can't be bothered to check the 3DS now). Is the name that appears for streetpass the nickname you had to enter when initially setting up the 3DS?
 
(Originally posted in the Launch thread, but more appropriate here.)

So, last night I went to my friends place to play cards, and we both have 3DS'. StreetPass exchanged SSFIV data IMMEDIATELY (my team kicked his team's ass, thanks Lvl 7 Dan figure!), but only he received my MiiPlaza data, I never got his.

I turned both units off and on, turned wifi off and on, re-set the StreetPass settings for both games...I pretty much tried everything I could to get his data, but no go. That was rather lame! :(
 
So I'm going to walk around downtown today near several ebgames and gamestores. I don't need to be a connected via wifi for the street pass to work right? The 3DS's will communicate on their own, does the wireless need to be enabled?

You don't need to connect to anything using wifi, but your wireless definitely needs to be on.
 
I've gotten a hit every time I've gone to a Gamestop in the past few days. I think they're your best bet if they're fairly populated at the time.

yup
 
Went downtown to DC yesterday to check out the Cherry Blossom trees. Right now through the end of the week are the peak viewing days, and yesterday was the only day that it wasn't forecasted to rain.

It was super crowded. Tons of tourists, photographers, even news crews. Food stands set up, and it was right around lunch so each one had around 15 people in line and a couple dozen more huddled around the tables. Not to mention the subway ride to get to the Tidal Basin: 5-6 stops, etc...

Not a single StreetPass ding. I thought for sure I'd at least get 3 or 4. Maybe I'll try hanging around the GameStop in Ballston later.

I took some pretty awesome 3D photos of the trees though. I'll post them in the 3DS pictures thread in a minute.

There's a special 3DS event at some Gamestops this Sat. I'd imagine that would be as good a time as any to streetpass some people.

It's a demo event. I would think most people showing up don't have the system.

Hmm, Might have to do the same here for the ROCKIES! Maybe I can get streetpassed downtown ;)
 
Neuromancer said:
Just to be clear, you can be on standby in a game and still streetpass people, right?
Click to expand...

Yes, as long as your wireless light is on an flickering. Seems you can't streetpass in DS games though.

I'll be cheering for the Braves, been a fan since the early 90s, I live in Hampton Roads, so when they go DC to play the double A ballclub, I try to take a trip.
