3DS Streetpass Experiences

My 3DS StreetPassed someone at home... while I was alone.
Guess my neighbour got himself a 3DS, but I admit that was kind of freaky at first.
 
Got my 50th streetpass Mii yesterday, and now the Mii Plaza music changed to have a trumpet lead or something. Weird.

Bringing my 3DS to the Bethesda event yielded quite a few passes and I'm only missing like five puzzle pieces across all seven boards!
 
I made it to the second to last room of FindMii yesterday only to get no streetpass hits today :( its the first weekday since launch that I haven't gotten any hits.
 
I haven't gotten any hits in weeks, and I cannot connect to any of my friends 3DS' (and they cannot connect to mine.) My friend and his GF StreetPass multiple times a day, but my other friend and his boyfriend haven't been able to StreetPass at all for a long time with each other.

I am going to hit the Mall Friday on my day off to see if I can StreetPass with anyone there, in case it's a problem with my 3DS.
 
Finally got my first streetpass yesterday.

I'm a little surprised it took so long, but I also don't live on campus and am not there every day. It made me realize I hadn't edited my profile.

Is the Mii I got able to be used everyday in Find Mii and does it level up?
 
Stumbled upon Miyamoto in a Starbucks yesterday evening: the fucker didn't even have his 3DS on him, or at least his streetpass wasn't activated! >__<
That should qualify for a dismissal...

Was he getting tea? :O
:P
 
Question:
When you complete all your started puzzles (for example I actually have 2 finished, and only one piece remaining on the third one), does the game automatically give you a new puzzle to start, or will I be stuck to 3 completed puzzles until I Streetpass someone with a different 4th one?

It was weird, I got a streetpass hit for Lego Star Wars the other day but nothing for the Mii Plaza. I would think most people would use the Mii Plaza feature for street pass.

You'll be stuck. Better keep that StreetPass running!
 
Making some real progress in Find Me, only 2 and a half rooms left. I've been passing pretty consistently with 1 guy, so he was level 6 on the last pass. Thank you Dowens, whoever you may be.
Also, got 5 puzzles, with the Pikmin filled. Will it still assign pieces randomly to puzzles you've completed? It hasn't happened yet, so I'm curious.
 
I am getting tired of not getting any hits on campus. I got teased by actually getting one person, but they never showed up again. I debated putting up a sign in the library telling people to carry their 3DS with them.

You should start a streetpass group for your school or a 3ds club or something. I get a few hits on my 3ds everyday just bringing it to campus and work.
 
I finally got another puzzle! I started out with the Legend of Zelda one and had that completed for a while, but then today I got a StreetPass hit with someone with a Metroid: Other M puzzle, so that's awesome. I'm definitely loving StreetPass, so far I've done it with 9 different people, all either on campus or in one case today, at GameStop.
 
Wooh, I experienced my first StreetPass exchange :D
Not much to say expect that he kinda sucked in the Quest game. Something so simple, yet so much fun :D

Now I want more more more!
 
Links cap is awesome, comes with blonde fringe sticking out the front!

I got a question, when you complete the Streetpass Quest, is your Mii leveled up for others for future Streetpassing? Do you start the quest again and is it harder?

I wrote up an article about my own experiences with StreetPass here in Japan. It's a little long to copy paste, so here's the link if you'd like to take a look.

Nice article. I'm sure the JP guy knew who you were before you knew he was though. You could even give the guy your friend code in the next message. I wouldn't be surprised if new friendships and even relationships could be started via streetpass. a new way of marketing for Nintendo. This is a pretty cool premise for a movie now that I think about it.

There's one person I've tagged more than once so far -- but when I did it was on my morning commute to work.
 
Nintendo France is organizing a contest to win an E3 trip.
You need to collect 100 differents Miis with StreetPass and then send a picture of your Mii Plaza. If you are in the first 15 people, you will need to send your system to Nintendo for verification.

It seems to be a Nintendo France only contest (and not NoE). And it seems impossible to me to collect such a high number of differents Miis - in France! Plus, we are 21th, April. E3 is 7th, June. Winners will need passeports, and others many administration formalities to enter the US territory... This sounds like a huge fail-contest!
 
Just got a 3DS for my birthday today. Haven't taken it anywhere yet, so no Streetpass experience yet.

Anything else I should do with my 3DS (like adding people, etc.)?

Make sure Streetpass is activated for all your games -- especially Mii Plaza and Music Maker. also, walk 1000 steps a day to earn 10 coins each day.
 
Got my first non family streetpass today from Nigeria? While my brother got someone previously from Australia.
The important thing is that I got a Mario and Bowser panel :)
 
I'm pretty sure my StreetPass settings are busted. I haven't connected to anyone in 8 days, when I've been around multiple 3DS that can tag each other, and I've been play places I should have got a tag (Gamestop where I know the guys have 3DS, mostly) and still nothing.

I'm thinking of doing a system format, does anyone know if that will change my Friend Code?
 
I had a friend with me for a few days who wanted to see NYC, so I took my 3DS with me. Got 7 hits when we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (including one guy from Paris). I take it the next day when we're in Time Square, and hitting all the stores like midtown comics, toys r us, Nintendo World Store, FAO Schwartz and got 1 hit.......

What you're saying is that 3DS owners are more cultured than those who go to toy and comic stores? I believe it.
 
I went to Destructoid/Capcom's SSF4 3DS event in San Francisco today with a friend and I got 11 Mii Plaza and 17 SSF4 (and 3 Ridge Racer) passes, while he got 20 Mii Plaza and 14 SSF4 passes.

Go figure.

I currently have 1/7 puzzles completed (Pikmin). I am working on Link, NSMB, Mario & Bowser, Metroid: Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Kirby's Dream Land.
 
One weekend in New York City, about 35 hits. Going to the Nintendo Store sure helped (about 20 there), but just random walking downtown got quite a bit of play. Just today I added 4 more in Grand Central, waiting to catch a train.

You came at a good time. Apparently this weekend there was a StreetPass event. Same with last week. Seems to average 20-50 people an event.

Myself, been wandering Princeton every week or so and getting a couple people each time. There is a StreetPass event at the Panera there next month.

I went to the NWS about a week after the 3DS came out, and within 20min I had 45 street tags and 4 Ridge Racer duels!

Man New Yorkers are so lucky having the Nintendo store! How does Washington not get one when NOA is fucking headquartered in Redmond?!
 
There is now a Facebook Group for Streetpass Vienna. The first meeting was rather small with only 3 guys, but considering that I barely managed to meet 10 people up so far, makes that Group a blessing.

Hopefully more people will show up at the next meet up.
 
So I just streetpassed with someone I think while I was at Cold Stone (based on the time it lists). The guy's name was "Shlunty69" and his message was "Gimme a GB, Brah"... anyone know what that could mean?
