I just realized that by saving those QR codes on your harddrive you can effectively collect an unlimited amount of these creations. I assume there is some sort of limit to it ingame, since you can only have 80 friends invited.

Huh, I never noticed you could interact with it. D'oh!
EDIT: I kind of hate racing. Is there any trick to it?

Head pieces always go on top of body pieces, accessories always go on top of everything. There might be some more stuff like that just try it out.
Edit: above does it better.
Holy cow, this guy shocked me when I scanned him in! I had no idea you could do that :lol
So I had a bit of a busy Thanksgiving once I decided that I wasn't in the mood for S8-Crown. Highlights:
And I finished all the race friends with this guy... though he has a strange tendency to stop dead on one particular hill:
I now have 80 scanned friends, time to favorite a few, I suppose! (Trophy for that.)

Dropping in a few of my Formees. Overall, this reminds me of Spore's creation tool with additional tweaks and the like. I think the explore part could have been fleshed out a little bit more. I love the multiple ways to get the in-game Friends, and the sharing elements of the Formees totally help it (thank goodness Pushmo does it, too! I like this trend.)
As one Gaffer requested, a water pokemon. I call him Tentoocool.

Anyways, fun game for sure. I just wished the variety of missions was greater. I just unlocked the City, so maybe it'll pick up on that side.

Love this one!

I think that maybe, with over 18 hours on the Activity Log and a host of fun stuff, I am probably done playing this thing quite as intensely as I have been.
Would love it if I suddenly StreetPassed someone else out of the blue though. It's times like this I wish more titles used the friends list to randomly exchange content online.

"More" titles? Which ones do that?
I'm pretty sure Animal Crossing Wii did something like that with WC24, actually... but it was mostly a poor choice of words on my part.
Ah, didnt want to criticize. I actually love that feature and would love more game to use it. Hopefully some 3DS games will use it as well

(only one guy so far though)The biggest problem with Streetpass in this game is that you have to unlock it, meaning that you'll find less people than you would otherwise find.

Who made this little gem? It kind of looks like an in-house Nintendo side project. Do we know if it was developed internally? It kicks ass though, this and Zen people are validating the e-shop's existence (for now at least).
Your formee has to come back to you before its "planets visited" count goes up. That could be two StreetPasses, or it could be more, if you don't get that formee back with the second StreetPass. At least that's how I understand it. I could be wrong, but it seems to work that way for me.
Asobism—specifically, Hiroshi Moriyama, formerly of Skip and Chibi-Robo fame. Siliconera has a pretty good writeup; there's also an Iwata Asks video.
I may have a few more QR codes to post soon; despite being "done" I've stil made one or two Formees
Still no StreetPasses, though... I just got this game about two days ago, and I've been having a ton of fun coming up with Formees! I was a little miffed by the slow super handholding start though. Things like copying, flipping, and the like being slowly unlocked really annoyed me since I just wanted to tear into the creation. I was also annoyed at first by the forced suggestions, but it led to my second character having flying hair which is pretty amazing!
Here's some of the formees I have made, they're mostly based on characters my friends and I draw:

I like that one! I'll QR it as soon as I get my 3DS back (which my GF stole for her weekend trip to play Mario)
Wow, surprising indeed. But I guess the national Nintendo branches are smart enough to realize that they are missing games, especially creative, original ones. So smart move on mentioning those games as well.

I got this game a while ago, it is fun to mess around with and make things. I just wish the platforming levels were better, I'd have preferred them to be longer point to point type levels.
I believe EviLore once said there are about 50 lurkers who view GAF, to every 1 member.

I'll post my shit as soon as I can get a free moment and my battery recharged >_<
Thanks for reminding me that I have more formees to post
My wife and daughter just got 3DSes with the Best Buy sale and my daughter wants this badly... I guess predictable StreetPasses are better than none, eh?

cool thx, will do
Some amazing formees in this thread. These aren't among them, but I like them.
Wienermobile
Turkey Nessy
Roller Pig, with wing ears. Definitely the most capable formee I've made. Fast as hell, too.
That elegant hairdo is very functional...
Totally useless, but one of my favorites to encounter in-game.

Has any other platform leveraged QR codes for user generated content the way the 3DS is shaping up to between this and the Push/Pull game?

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Spore did something akin to that, iirc.

3DSWare is on a roll lately
Yup, is there anything else already announced for it that we might get somewhat soon?
I made a dopey Jim Henson lookin Cthulhu last night but my 3DS died before I could get it to the sanctuary I thought I was gonna have enough battery to get one last gem for a quest first! Ah well.
Swapnote is supposed to come out this month but thats not really a game
Rolling Western is Q1 2012 (and I think 3D Classics: Kid Icarus too?)
I dont know if we're getting those ThruSpace or The Mystery of Murasame Castle Sequels that were announced in Japan

Heh, I like those. I need to get in this thread with my camera again soon and scan some more.

what would be ace is if you could only start the camera app by pressing L or R on 3DS and it recognizes the QR codes and starts the corresponding app without me needing to start it myself

I recently realized this is my most played game on 3DS.
Here's some of my favourites. Hope some of you are still playing.

In watching the Iwata Asks for FreakyForms, I thought it was interesting how the director created this game for children to play. Not in a negative way, but in the sense that the game's controls and creation were easy to get into.
What made this point ring true for me is how much my nearly 3-year-old daughter loves it. She saw me creating a monster, and she instantly wanted to help. Now she does it on her own. Neatest thing is seeing her creations "mature". Early on they were crazy, with body parts all over the place. In a few weeks they've begun to take on more proper shapes. It's very interesting, and I'm really proud of her.
If anyone wants an accessible game for a younger gamer, I put my vote behind FreakyForms. I'll try to get some of the QR codes for some of her creations in a bit.
