3DS Streetpass Experiences

Up to 23 streetpass tags and 18 plaza population.3DS tents on 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica helping the cause.
 
Went to the mall for 30 minutes today during lunch. Came back to work and walked around the cafeteria for about 10 minutes and my blue light lit up! I was disappointed to learn it was just Steet Fighter letting me know that Spot Pass was enabled :( Still no hits.
 
So... Suppose I get a hit some day in the far flung future. How will I know? I don't have to go all the way into the Mii Plaza app do I?

Did the demo units have StreetPass configured, and were they in sleep mode?

I have no clue, and obviously no, they weren't in Sleep Mode. I didn't think they had to.

There are notifications everywhere on the home menu, you can't miss it.

Plus, there's a green LED that lights up in the "top right corner" of the system (when it's closed), so you don't even have to open it to see if you've got a hit.

This is so stupidly satisfying. I love streetpass.
 
Uh, okay. So can anyone explain to me how this works? Is there a official thread or is this it?

I got my first 3 hits on StreetPass but I can't use them as heroes, or anything for that matter. Why am I only able to "hire a hero" for the StreetPass Quest?

It says "Go forth and gather heroes via StreetPass"

What do I do with these StreetPass Hits. They don't give me anything?

Thank you, this is good to know. Maybe someday...

From what I hear you have to use them right away. If you into Mii Plaza, leave, and come back, it's too late.

The fuck? I fired up plaza, shook their hands and went straight into StreetPass Quest. Didn't work..
 
Took my 3DS on a business trip to Brussels today to kill some time on the flight. Didn't expect a hit during business travel time but actually got my first streetpass - level 1 Mii sucks though. Funny thing I discovered is when you tell the 3DS you're a dog person you get dogs instead of cats when you use coins to hire heroes.

AFAIK you have to use them the SAME time you check the MiiPlaza, or they go away. So, you get the notification, so in, and use them in the Quest the same session.

If you get the notification, go in, see them, and then exti, they're lost.

(This is what I've read here, I've never gotten a MiiPlaza hit.)

EDIT: Beaten like a mule.
 
At school right now, and I'm a couple feet away from someone who has their 3DS out, so I guess that makes my 3rd StreetPass encounter so far

I will update the thread with information about streetpass like FAQs and stuff. Can't do it today but I will do it tomorrow.

This is what I did. I opened my 3DS, opened Mii Plaza and went straight to StreetPass Quest.

"I say... It seems you don't have any heroes"

Big let down. Now there's no reason at all for using StreetPass :/

How about Puzzle, did that let you attempt to get a new piece from the Mii you met?
 
3DS will barely make it through a work day with wireless on and some play time on my commute and lunch break. Sucks some serious battery. Thinking about only turning it on when I'm moving around. Too bad theres no outlet around my desk to use.

Just tried it now. I didn't get anything. :/ So I guess you need to do both Puzzle and Find Me as soon as you meet a new Mii.
 
Can you only street pass with the same person once every 24 hrs?


EDIT: My co-worker got a work client that came in.. and I can't get his.. no clue why not. The guy is 1 room away and it won't street pass with me yet it did with my co-workers.

DAMN YOU WORLD!!

I think it might be twice, well that's the most I've had with 2 3ds's that are pretty much always near each other.
 
Got two more people today in a different class. One of them was advertising a site. :/

The Mii looks so basic I'm somewhat suspicious it's meant to advertise but it's also not the default Mii so I don't know I could be wrong...

If the other person hasn't started the quest, they won't help you. Basically, they have to have streetpass data for the game.

I think it's fine to leave the game and go back, though. They should still be there.

I just tried it out with the Mii I found today and it worked for both the puzzle and the Street Pass Quest. I found that Mii 9 hours ago and I did definitely check it 9 hours ago. I.e. saw the green LED flashing up, startet the Street Pass Mii-Lobby, saw the Mii etc. and then closed the Mii-Lobby.
However, I experienced a similar situation. I "bought" five heroes with 10 coins, closed the Street Pass Quest game and started it later, but my heroes were gone :/ Dunno if this was a bug (yours definitely is!) or if this was intentional. I don't see why Nintendo would do that though, especially because there was no notification (like: Uh, if you leave StreetPass Quest, you'll lose your heroes).

Nintendo has a large 3DS demo setup there at Third Street Promenade. I have to make a trip to the Nike Store there anyway sometime this week so I definitely have to hit it up.
 
I found out today that StreetPass works across regions. I StreetPassed my US 3DS with a Japanese 3DS, it even showed that the person was playing the new Layton.

Do you live in LA by any chance, 2 minutes of internet research leads me to believe that's where the guy who runs that site is.

Got two people today in Milan, Yay!
I kicked their butt as well in SFIV Street Pass mode, which is even cooler. :D

Nice. I had no idea. I'll try to make it this week.
 
Does anyone know if there's a way pre-update to transfer your Mii Plaza Progress and stuff from one 3DS to another? I had a Press machine before launch and want to transfer to my personal machine.
 
Street Pass is some janky shit.

Nintendo am fail.

I sat next to 4 people and only received 2 Street passes. We sat there for 5 mins. 1 of them I had already gotten earlier that day. The other was just setting up his 3DS. The other 2 had traded with each other via Street Pass yet they weren't picking up any other person.

Janky.
