3DS Streetpass Experiences

God I really thought the armored ghost at the top of the tower was the final boss.

But NO! There is another, bigger, scarier demon ghost with like 100 points worth of damage to unleash.

FUUUUUCK.

I don't have much luck with StreetPass. I went shopping at Target and then wandered around the mall for a while, and got one Mii from somewhere. I'm guessing maybe one of the Gamestop employees might have had their 3DS with them. Today I was going around Philly for a couple hours, and got not a single Mii.
 
Heh, hadn't been carrying it for like 2 weeks, but brought it today, and didn't get any at campus, but later we stayed with my girlfriend having a drink near her house and got a streetpass there! Totally awesome.
 
I've had my 3DS up and running for less than a day now, and already I've collected my first street pass. ...About forty minutes ago... at 10pm... From within my own bedroom... I'm sufficiently creeped out. Who's lurking about?!

I thought I'd be lucky to get one when I headed into the city tomorrow, let alone 10 at night out here in the middle of nowhere!

Do you live in an apartment building?
 
The only 10 coins for day rule is really messing with me. I went on a 3 mile walk and literally had to change the date like 6 times during the walk. I don't see what would be wrong with just letting you load up on coins as long as you don't hit the 300 coin limit.

I think the idea is that you're not supposed to grind incessantly to complete everything in one day, but instead complete the puzzles and find mii over time.

Changing the date to get more than 10 coins in a day is kinda cheating.
 
Got 5 hits when I went to Magic Kingdom over the weekend. Even got a mii from Puerto Rico. This was my first big hit with street pass since I got it at launch. I've had a run in with the same guy at a target store a couple of times.
 
A usual trip from Bloor down Yonge to Queen in Toronto nets me 2-5 hits, with two always coming from the employees at Game Centre at least. Nearly finished with the first play through of Find Me. If I didn't waste so many coins on the puzzles, I'd probably have finished it a while ago.
 
I haven't had a hit on Streetpass for weeks. I could really do with
a white-coated person.
;_; Hopefully the busy schedule over the next few weeks will prove more fruitful.
 
Did my first 3DS stereotyping today. Saw a dude at the train station with a Twilight Princess shirt and hovered around him in the hopes of a StreetPass...

Have to say, this is the first gaming system to influence my routine, in that regard. What wonderfully creepy fun.
 
Went to go pick up my E3 passes today and got about 8 different hits on each of my 3DS units. Already seeing some people play unreleased games though...

I should take a day off this week and hang outside the Convention Center just to pick up Miis...But to what end? There really needs to eventually be some point to this besides a collect-a-thon.

DS games don't appear in any StreetPass / Mii / Friends List format, do they?
Yep it is the regular 2DS version, just look at the lower-resolution icon next to it compared to the high-res 3DS one for OoT.
 
I now have a total 7 streetpass hits since my trip to Hawaii. I had two before I left. I consider this a huge success.

U jelly?

But it's to be expected since there was a ton of media folk there registering. Can't wait to melt my streetpass throughout the week.
next year you hafta send me a passssss
 
Got 3 tags today in NYC and the surrounding areas, one of which was a Samurai Warriors one. Never thought I'd ever get one in the wild.
 
Got 40 Mii Plaza tags on Saturday at the Pokémon VGC Nationals. Apparently someone there had been playing OoT 3D too. This brings my total up to... 41.

3DS at E3...plz update us how that goes for streetpass :D
I hope mine survives. >__< Lets see if I get any hits at the Sony conference. >=)

But for those of you who are going to E3, be on the lookout for either a donkeyshow or FlyntFlo$$y Mii.
 
After months of no streetpass tags, I got 2 today. One doesn't count because it's from Gamespot. The other person did provide me with a new pokemon for my pokedex though.
 
I work at a horseracing track. I never ever thought I would get a Streetpass here (Its not really a young, tech savvy crowd), but today I finally did!!!

How does that work, getting pokemon from people through streetpass?
 
On the last boss for my second time through Find Mii. Finished all of the puzzle pieces while at Fanime during Memorial Day weekend.

I'm maxed out at 300 coins so I keep using them to hire heroes for Find Mii, only to max out again in a few days. I need some stronger Miis so that I can just blow my coins for pirates on Lego PotC.

Now to work on my pokedex...
 
I got about 150 people at E3; two of them gold pants but not Nintendo senior staff (even though I was not far from Reggie or Iwata). Lots of journalists and devs. I might have been able to get more but the ten limit really screwed me up as I was working and couldn't clear it as often as I'd like.

But oh man! The best thing was all the StreetPasses for Nintendogs. Made up for the fact that I was maxed on puzzles and Find Mii going into the show.

I'm glad I brought my 3DS with me to Hawaii. I got two tags in one day!!!! That is more than I have gotten since launch.
While you were here or at the airport? I was conserving power so I didn't want to turn it on at LAX, but I didn't think that anyone would have it in Hawaii. Maybe I should try bringing it along with me.
 
I got about forty or so while at the Nintendo World Store this week for StreetPass NYC's E3 Event. Even had a large AR Card cake! Didn't stay for any tournament though.

June 24th is StreetPass Princeton's second monthly event, for those of you in the Central NJ area. It's from 5 to 9 at the Gamestop in Quakerbridge Mall, and the major focus will be on a Dead or Alive Dimensions Tournament.

I actually find StreetPass to be a really neat way for people to communicate with other gamers. While it is also meant to be a passive way of getting contacts with other 3DS users, it can also be used to create small subcommunities in the local region for 3DS gamers.

It probably doesn't. I've gotten a few new pokemon each time I started the pokedex, so it was probably added some other way, not through street pass. Oh well.
 
I routinely get hits almost daily now. Granted I do take transit in a modestly populated area.

Also, every matinee I've attended have had people with streetpass on, and there's even people who are using street pass for the music player.
 
I ended up with about 240 Street Passes during E3. Finished all of the puzzles and my first run through of Find Mii. I got quite a few French people for some reason, and a couple of my passes leveled up to level 2 during the event. Now I have a total of about 250 Miis in my plaza.

I didn't get a Reggie or Miyamoto :(
