So is there no way to get rid of that purple arrow now that usually only points when someone is at your gate? It is so obnoxious and I can't get rid of it...
The entrance shortcut can be moved in the settings. Removing it would be silly as it would mean would have to close and re-open the software to let the next queue in.

Reposting my question for the new page
You've reach a defined end point (I guess for the DL games having the second outfit) unlocked. That isn't the same as having all plaza tickets.

For the built in games I think they will come and go with the quest completed or having all the puzzle swap pieces.

Dang it Red Wolf. =(
 
My sister and I can't pass each other in the plaza since the update. We both got passes for Shuffle, so it's something with the plaza itself. We both already tried changing hats and greetings and reopening the plaza a few times to clear all the new feature notifications. I turned my 3DS off and back on, too. Nothing. :(
 
Uuuggghhhhh, this is exactly the type of thing I wish wasn't in the game. So have a specific weapon/hope you get lucky, then figure out a specific action, then HOPE they appear.
 
On one hand: yay, more streetpass games. That's good.

On the other hand... I'm never going to collect everything. I try so hard but it's just never going to happen, haha.

I've never tried to collect or complete everything in these games, I think it's fun to just see what i get and do as it goes :-)

I just beat Mii force today...well got the little gold medal anyway haha
 
Does anyone else find the fishing game to be incredibly relaxing? There is something about Nintendo & fishing simulators that goes hand n' hand. Also, Coraline is so gosh-darn cute.
 
Are the other games available in the plaza worth the money? I just picked up a 3DS last month and moved to Japan so I'm getting a fair few hits on my way to work daily.
 
I'm basically stuck in the Haunted House game because I never upgraded more weapons.

Didn't know you can mess up like that.

It's the only game I haven't beaten :(

Mostly yes. That war game can get pretty mundane fast, though.

Flower thing is the most casual one and also takes the longest. Ghost fighting is the most fun and also has interesting puzzle mini-games. The shooter is pretty nice, too, but arcade mode (all levels in one go) can take up to an hour, and once you've finished that, you'll know it inside out.

Did you know you can go back down to previously cleared levels to place more pieces? You can try to get more treasure chests that way and level up, then.

I'm the opposite...

I pretty much stopped playing because I got an ungodly ice cream gun very early on along with great buffs and everything dies in a few rapid fire shots. Haven't hit one bit of challenge since I got the gun. :(

Had to help my wife on a boss in her game and forgot there was a block button!
 
Visited New York for the first time last year and I got a streetpass from JohnTV, either on my way to the Empire State Building or while I was there. I thought it was pretty cool, he was wearing a Famicom version of Rob the Robot hat.
 
My first impression of Ultimate Angler is really positive. It seems to be among the most content-rich of the StreetPass games (right up there with Flower Town, but I find the gameplay a lot more engaging so far). Really pretty to look at, too. Certainly something to look into if you like fishing games. Prope games are usually on-point for me, though.

Battleground Z is fun and kitschy, but I'm not as taken with it. Could see this rare zombie thing being a pain in the ass, and it seems like you'll have to replay a lot to get all the medals. But it's very early yet, so we'll see.
 
The zombie game is fucking ridiculous

The robot dogs in the back alley stage are pretty much an insta kill if they get to you

Literally died three straight times at the same part where like 8 of them jump you at once. Time to change colors/hobbies on these Streetpass farm Miis.
 
Loving the new games over here.


Ultimate Angler is peaceful. I am currently making a StreetPass tank full of Old Boots.
Battleground Z is such an old school beat-em-up. I usually have a ton of weapons though.

I'm also pretty pleased that there is a convention this weekend. While not a huge convention, it has been big enough for StreetPass goodness.

In my made-up head-canon
Dr. Scarlett is Coraline's mother.

Also bought the premium. It's neat. But seriously. They should have said: "Hey. You bought all of the other things. Here's a discount on Premium."

The alley and stadium were pretty challenging but I'm not having too much trouble. I just finished the stadium and afterward it popped up a message saying something like "You've played a while and haven't died yet..." and then proceeded to explain that you can enable your Mii turning into a zombie after you die in your game or someone else's.

That helper bunny for streetpass quests will be cool. I don't think I ever got all the hats.

Another new feature is when on the map screen you can push X (I think) to see any chests you haven't gotten yet.

When I got that option, I turned it on immediately.

I hope that, someday, my Zombie Mii kills another player in their game. :-D

Streetpass Fishing

It seems all I do on my 3DS is fish, which is great, but I've never done it in real life.
Kinda tempted now actually...
 
There's no discount bundle in Australia? I went to buy them and was surprised to see I have to buy each separately. I thought there was a "thank you" pack or something for people who owned all the previous games.

You should get the option to buy a pack from the rabbit when you just try and buy one.

Fishing's great, just don't get a hook in your finger. Pretty much the only way to get it out is to expose the barb and clip it off, otherwise you'll tear flesh on the way out. Had to drive my dad to the ER when I was 14 because he almost passed out trying to dig a lure out of his hand, plus had it happen to myself a few times.
 
So, I haven't done Home Relaying in forever, basically tried when it was first discovered and that's it and it seems it's changed a bit from just changing your SSID to requiring MAC address spoofing.

I eventually got something to work, though I think I ended up connecting to a German McDonald's or something but I got the message about a special guest so I guess I got that to work, but what's this I'm hearing about a theme? Do I actually have to bother going to a GAME to get it because there are like zero near me (which is why I hated all GAME exclusive Pokémon distribution and never bothered with it)?

If you got it to work, you can just enter the Nintendo Zone and request the code.
 
I still can't get Shibata :(
whysie

Is there helper bunny only for Find Mii?
I wish Monster Manor allows you to use coins to change the color of the tiles you already placed..

Well with the connection which I guess is a german McDoanld's (using NZ@McD1) I get a error message in German telling me the content which I want to access is unavailable, probably because I'm not in Germany.

Tried hunting for a GAME UK SSID and the nearest I can find is NintendoSpotPass5 and while the Nintendo Zone icon glows it can't connect because there's no Internet on this one.
 
I'm still torn as to whether or not I should purchase the new SP games. I've already spent 300 hours on the previous ones. I'm tempted but I want to clear my backlog, damn it. I've already beaten three old games since I have nothing to keep me busy with in Mii Plaza.
 
Went into town today and got ten international Streetpass hits! Wasn't expecting that many. I only went into one shop n'all (Debenhams). Most of them were people from America, couple from Austria. How is this whole international thing working anyway? I don't understand how I got so many foreign Miis.

I also don't understand why Shibata hasn't appeared in my plaza yet?

It's International StreetPass Week, so relay points (Nintendo Zones) are swapping Miis from other countries, instead of local visitors. You can get up to six from one hotspot, so you must've hit two.

...and there goes any interest I had in fishing!

Haha just kidding, but that sounds pretty grim man :(
I'll definitely be careful now, cheers
 
I've already done 19/36 of the fishing challenges. I'm sure the requirements will get more fiendish as progress is made, but hopefully the games have some longevity.
 
I got the special Shibata mii from walking past a Game today, if I go another day before the streetpass week ends can I streetpass him again or are special miis restricted to one pass only?
