Let me put it in perspective. You probably live in the US, or Canada, or UK, or Australia. I live in this hellhole third world country. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one with a 3DS in a 70 mile radius. And I'm pretty sure I was the first in my country to own one.

So here's the deal:

I had mine in my pocket in sleep mode and the kid had his out and was playing with a game. So either SP didn't work because he wasn't in sleep mode or he just simply doesn't have SP turned on on his system.

So that stunk but oh well.....

Then on Sunday we were out walking the dog and some other kid had his 3DS out and was playing with it for a minute. Then he put it in his pocket and started jogging down the street (in the same direction that we were going.)

No SP hit here either.....

Are people not turning on SP or am I just having bad luck connecting to people? I've had 2 SP hits in the last month and 1 was from the demo unit at Best Buy. I carry it everywhere I go. I mean everywhere. I understand that not a ton of people have 3DS's yet but come on people. If you've got one, turn on SP!!!

SP will only work when in sleep mode or running a 3DS app or game. If you use the emulator to play DS games, it will not work. The kid was probably playing Pokemon.

So yesterday we went to a Red Sox game and of course I brought my 3DS with us......

Guess what?....

Not a single SP hit all day long walking around downtown Boston and then in and around Fenway!!!!

I thought for sure that out of the 37,000 people there that I would get at least 1 hit.

Boo!

Speak for yourself. It's not like that in all of the UK.

I got a StreetPass in a the college town of Loughborough. It must have been in the car parking lot because I noticed the light when I got in the shop, which had only a few people in it. I asked the people working there if they had a 3DS and none of them did ... so I got one of those real random hits while walking into the shop, or it happened while driving.

I'm going to street pass meet up sometime this month. But street pass in nyc is not the greatest. I was tabling in a park where people were constantly passing me for about 4 hours, not one hit. Then on my train ride home I get an random hit.

welcome to the club lol


I live in nyc and getting hits seems almost impossible


Keep in mind I carry my 3ds with me most of the time, and I'm all over the place. I'm talking street fairs, block parties, or just relaxing in the park.


Ive had my 3ds for a couple of weeks now, and I only got 2 hits.


One my friends who works near grand central tells me gets alot of hits. I truly don't believe this.


I might stop by the nintendo world store and see if I can get some hits there lol.

On Sunday I was walking on the street and I managed to pass by two kids (aged maybe 10 and 12) with their 3DS in hands! I was all "Yes, finally a streetpass!", I got my 3DS and looked at it, no green light. DAMN kids forgot to turn their streetpass on! And I even got to pass by them again 45 minutes later, on the opposite direction, and of course, no sp. I was too embarassed to ask them about it - they had their parents with them, what would they think if a 29 year old man started to harass their kids at the street?

BUT! Yesterday, I was at the office, and it seems that as I was leaving, I managed to get a streetpass! Yay! So I got my first one, finally. And I even managed to win my first figure match on SF4!

That's some nice news.

Wow! Yesterday, I got 2 StreetPasses from my school. There is a Mii called Pedro and the other one is named Gabi (short for 'Gabriela').

I'm quite lucky. In a few months, there will be 3DSs everywhere! :O

Yes but the 3DS only registers a known Mii only once daily (in other words, even if you pass that person several times a day. the 3DS will only register him once for that day).

I remember my first street pass. I was at work towards the end of my seven hour shift of glorious shirt folding. I took out of my 3DS to play a quick round of SSF4, it was incredibly slow that day, and boom. Some guy named Jonathan apparently walked past me not even a half hour before hand. o_O

I havn't had a SP hit since I first got my 3ds. Strange, the first day I went downtown I got 2 hits, ever since I had none. Or should I say, ever since I got my 3ds back from Nintendo I haven't had any hits. Muahaha!

To make extra sure I'd get at least one StreetPass hit, I even spent some time in some video game stores, including one that had guys who were sitting at benches and playing handheld games (though I didn't look long enough to see if they were 3DSes).

The result? No StreetPass hits. Argh.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Or maybe not enough people have a 3DS yet to have StreetPass hits be a common thing, even under ideal conditions.

To be honest, I'm not sure how successful StreetPass will be, because I doubt most people here in Japan who just paid the MSRP of 24,800 yen ($306.78) for their 3DS are going to want to take the thing outside the house and risk having it fall on the ground or get stolen...

Thing is, once you get one, all the hype starts going down. I still want to streetpass somebody who has streetpass active on SSFIV to see the match

The result? No StreetPass hits. Argh.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Or maybe not enough people have a 3DS yet to have StreetPass hits be a common thing, even under ideal conditions.

To be honest, I'm not sure how successful StreetPass will be, because I doubt most people here in Japan who just paid the MSRP of 24,800 yen ($306.78) for their 3DS are going to want to take the thing outside the house and risk having it fall on the ground or get stolen...
Really...I thought that Japan would be the mecca of 3ds's...huh. I live in California and I have yet to know anyone else who has a 3ds, and I've had mine for more than a month.

Hey, add me! be the first Japanese person in my friendlist! lol. here's my fc: 4296-3015-9826

cheers!

Okay, sure, I'll add you. :-) However, please note that I am American, not Japanese (I just happen to live in Japan).

Unfortunately, I've continued to have rotten luck with getting a StreetPass hit. I actually work at a mall in Japan (I teach at a small conversation school on the second floor of Kayo Mall in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture) and despite bringing my 3DS to the mall for two full workdays with the WiFi turned on, I haven't gotten any hits! Argh!

One of these days I'll get one... Tomorrow my boss and I are going to do advertising, meaning we'll be camped out near the entrance. I'll be sure to bring my 3DS along. My guess is that the entrance is a better place to get StreetPass hits than a secluded corner of the mall.

In the mean time, at least I can rack up Play Coins to beat Find Mii with Level 1 and Level 2 cats and dogs...

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind, too. Normally, I wouldn't be willing to pay upwards of $100 just to go to Tokyo and back to get StreetPass hits, but since I'm going up there anyway to visit my friend at the end of this month, I can't wait to take my 3DS on the subway and see how many hits I can get...

Another thought that I've had is to ride the subway in Nagoya, which is a city that is reasonably close to my suburb. Yokkaichi is a fairly desolate little town, but Nagoya's nearby.

Maybe between the two, I'll get some hits. My guess is that it'll only get easier with time. The 3DS has only been out for about three months, so the installed base is still pretty small...

I've gotten three so far: One from a Customer at Work, One from a Mall and One from Wal-Mart. Whenever I see that little green light appear i'm always like "YAAAAY!". It's just fun to see a new Mii appear. :3

I usually get 1-2 street passes at school. But today I got 4! I think more people are buying the 3DS.

125 streetpass hits so far from 122 different people.

I would probably have more, if I'd remember to take the 3DS with me every time when going out.
But, I'm not too worried about trying to get as many hits as possible. There will be plenty enough hits even without trying.

I have a total of 9 hits and 9 Miis. On the weekend I went to the mall twice and got a total of 6. I find it's very effective to walk into video game stores, the employees usually have a 3DS of their own. On the two separate days I had got 2 hits from one guy, he was an EB Games employee named Tom. What I also noted is that Street Pass took a about a minute to work, I went into the EB Games and after a minute I'd lost hope but then the beautiful green light flashed onto the 3DS, filling my heart with joy and excitement. Thank you Nintendo. :')

Good things come in three's, and yes, I got my first 3 in one yesterday when I went walking around town

Two identified themselves, they were Gamestation store staff, and another (who would have been the first) didn't make a mention. But he looked to have already unlocked a rather cool hat.

I also like the little introduction you get from them, and they tell you a bit about themselves, and what game they've been playing most. Brilliant.

Yeah, Street Pass is my 2nd favorite feature, below the 3D.

I got my first StreetPass hit today at Yokkaichi's Kayo Mall! I think it happened sometime between 3:00 and 4:00 PM, which is really strange since I was teaching in the classroom then and was not in a highly-populated location. I will translate the screens below to the best of my ability (cool, I packed on a few Japanese vocabulary words while doing the translation)...


[You] met with Rutei of Mie Prefecture!


(no dialogue, but "asobu" means "play")


Rutei
StreetPass Mii
6 hours ago (once)
Japan
Mie Prefecture
The last game he played:
Mii Studio


Rutei
Dog Faction or Cat Faction: Cat Faction
Hobby: Study
Dream: Being an Expert
Mii's Birthday: 5/28
Creator: Rutei
Total StreetPass hits: 39 times
Plaza's Miis: 37 people


Sword
Magic

What will Rutei, the Level 1 hero, do? (literally "How will the Level 1 hero, Rutei, do it?")

Been in three gaming stores today and not a single hit! I even saw the 3DS and it was switched on and everything.

Epic fail. Slowly plodding along through SP Quest with Play Coins, but my brother's getting a 3DS on Saturday so I can just walk past him every few hours!

Yeah, I've been working on that RPG too (mine is called Surechigai Densetsu but I think we're talking about the same game -- the extremely simple, linear RPG that gobbles Play Coins). Don't worry too much if you can't find StreetPass hits. The StreetPass character that I picked up was only Level 1 and only did 3 HP of damage to the enemy before getting scared away (i.e. Level 2 dogs/cats and even an occasional L1 dog/cat with a critical hit do better damage)...

If it's any consolation, I work at a Japanese mall and it took three days of dutifully carrying my 3DS to work (~8 hours each workday) to get a single StreetPass hit. However, I guess that on the other hand, I can really appreciate the hits when I get them.

I'm planning to go to Tokyo at the end of the month. I have this temptation to just sit in the middle of Akihabara with my 3DS and pick up hits left and right.

Yeah, it was in a mall as well where I went to today. But nothing! I've walked through there before, only to find my wireless was switched off -.- So I was actually expecting some hits today, but ah well. Maybe future software will do something with the number of steps you do.

Agreed. I definitely feel that my 20,000+ step Sunday was under-rewarded by a factor of 20. ;-)

10 Play Coin limit per day? Seriously, 1,000 steps a day is a joke. Anyone who isn't averaging 1,000 steps per day is probably on the fast track to a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and a heart attack... 1,000 steps is less than I do walking one-way to McDonald's to connect to Makku de DS and eat a McPork.

I got my full Play Coin amount in a walk from my first class at college to my next one, which is literally across a courtyard. I understand Nintendo wanting to pace it, but some kind of reward for us who walk a LOT, like you advise us to, would be nice.

Maybe unlocking a second ten play coins after 10,000 steps?

Yeah, something like that would be much better. Perhaps it'll come in a firmware update.

I guess the upside, though, is that it prevents me from becoming an obsessive, constantly-pacing Surechigai Densetsu machine, constantly walking circles around my apartment to feed my addiction to the game and defeat the next boss. The Play Coins system makes the evening Surechigai Densetsu ritual short and sweet -- at midnight, I jog out of my apartment, through the Hinaga Shinto Shrine, and to the main road, and then back (just under 1K steps). Then I spend the next five minutes employing more dogs/cats and dealing a few more points of damage to whatever enemy I'm on.

Someone please tell me if there are StreetPass events in South Carolina.

Just got another hit from the guy at GameStop and for some reason I got a hit from a 3ds demo station at GameStop. It was a mii who I think was called Mr.390. Because it said last game played: Super Street Fighter 4 3D ( Demo Version).

Yep first time they are. But if you pass the same people next time the mii will be a level higher(level up +1 for every encounter up to 7). Then they are even more usefull. My friends miis are levels 3-4

I had this idea to exploit that...

11:30 PM: Enter an arcade. Walk around the premises and collect StreetPass hits.
12:00 AM: Spend ten minutes using your StreetPass Miis and recruited cats/dogs to make some more progress in the game.
12:10 AM (new calendar day as far as the 3DS is concerned): Walk around the arcade one more time, getting StreetPass hits from all the same people, who are all now Level 2 because you already got them at Level 1 the "previous calendar day."
Next Day: Rinse and repeat!

I tried putting this plan into action at the three-story arcade/casino near my apartment, but nobody inside seemed to have a 3DS. I walked around on all three floors for quite a while, no hits. I'm still at a measly one hit.

Hang in there. Just treat your Nintendo 3DS like an appendage. Never go anywhere without it. Eventually enough people will have DSes, even in New Jersey, that you'll get a StreetPass hit.

And now for my latest one, captured less than five hours ago:

Translation:
I am *Yuuki* of Mie Prefecture

(the button on the bottom that says "早送り" [はやおくり] means "Fast Forward")


Translation:
[The last game I played was] Senkoku Musou Chronicles (戦国無双クロニクル).

(Fast Forward)

Here, everyday is Japan Day. ;-)

Trouble is, that doesn't mean much in terms of hits most days... I have been bringing my 3DS to my job at the mall since last Monday, and so far have gotten only two StreetPass hits.

I'm sure that once the installed base of 3DSes increases, and once people figure out how to set up their own Miis (not everyone who owns a 3DS may have done this yet), the situation will improve.

At least right now, every StreetPass hit is a special occasion warranting a mini-celebration.

Went to 2 different grocery stores, (in 2 different cities) Costco, drove by a Gamestop and no SP's today! Boo!!!

I know, I know, driving by a GameStop doesn't really count but I drove by super slow to see if I could get a hit.

Early yesterday afternoon, I had only three StreetPass hits...

Walking around in Nagoya Station changed all that...

Now I have 40.

Yep, that's right. It took me two weeks to get three StreetPass hits in the small city of Yokkaichi, but less than two days in Nagoya and Tokyo got me 37. No joke.

Yeah. And the weirdest part:
A couple hours in Nagoya Station got me 20+ StreetPass hits. However, two calendar days in Tokyo (including portions walking around in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro) got me <20.

I was already planning to start making weekly journeys to Nagoya. Now it's definite.

I fully expect to max out all my puzzles and finish Surechigai Densetsu in no time flat.

Yeah...

The only problem is that the puzzle pieces are at least initially tied to region. So my first puzzle piece was a Zelda puzzle piece, and everyone else in Mie-ken starts out with a Zelda piece as well, to my knowledge.

Nagoya is in Aichi-ken, so they have their special default puzzle pieces. However, completing a puzzle for a far-away region (like Okinawa) would be much more difficult, since it is unlikely that most Aichi-ken people will have come into contact with 3DS users from Okinawa. See what I'm saying?

Still, I'm looking forward to getting several hundred (or maybe even several thousand) StreetPass hits before the year ends.

-Well you can stand by 3ds demos in gamestop,bestbuy,Target etc..
-find some crowd and pass by.
-Some people organize streetpass groups where you can hang out with a good number of people and streetpass with!So choose the appropriate place for you and go join them.

Also this process depends more on luck except if it's organized. So good luck

I went to a convention this past weekend and came home with plaza of 133 and StreetPass hits totaling 226... Pretty freaking sweet. I finished all the puzzles, finished Find Mii and got most of the way through a second play through resulting in a bunch more hats.

So I finally got my first two Streetpasses a few days ago. It was probably in Walmart, maybe while I passed the 3DS demo thingy.

So I went to a GameStop today and the demo unit there didn't have SP set up and it wouldn't let me access the Home Menu!!!! Ahhh!!!!

Oh and none of the employees had 3DS's with them.

And..... they also didn't have any Used 3DS games worth buying!!!

Waste of time, yet again.

I finally got one after owning a 3DS for 3 months. Only 1. I feel like buying another 3DS just so I can get more hits. There should be a way to get hits over the internet. You think?

No demo units let you access the home menu by default. You have to use the special access method to get there and then you can do the StreetPass stuff.

I'm heading over to Nagoya Station tomorrow. I have a few missions for Nagoya, mainly:

1. Post some flyers at local universities and see if anyone wants to do a Japanese/English language exchange with me.

2. Walk around Nagoya Station for at least a couple of hours and farm StreetPass hits. Currently, I'm on the final boss of Surechigai Densetsu (first playthrough) and I think I can get enough StreetPass hits in Nagoya Station to defeat him. He has 150 HP and most Miis are only Level 1, but Nagoya Station is a virtually unlimited source of Miis, so I'm pretty sure I can beat him tomorrow anyway. Then I'll get the crown for my Mii. Though to be honest, I like the Samus hat better.

By the way, the second playthrough hats are awesome. Especially the Ultimate Hat and the Bowser Hat. I have one Mii with the Ultimate Hat. It's horned and is actually animated!

3. See some cool stuff in Nagoya and take photos and blog about it. Any suggestions?

What's that method? I know once when I was playing the Pilot Wings Resort demo, I pressed the power button and I could go to the home menu from there but, it doesn't work anymore!

I was wondering to myself "Are all train stations in Japan a bonanza for StreetPass hits like Nagoya Station is?"

So I checked Wikipedia and got my answer.

"It is the world's largest train station by floor area (410,000 m?)"

"An average of 1,140,000 people used it per day in 2005, making it the 6th busiest station in Japan."

I guess I can see why Nagoya is so StreetPass hit-rich. "6th busiest station in Japan" essentially means "6th best place in the world to get StreetPass hits."

I took my 3DS to Universal Orlando on Saturday, We spent 4 hours in the Hollywood Studios park for 4 hours and not a single hit, then went over to Islands of Adventure and I got a streetpass hit in the first 5 minutes. I only got 1 more hit the rest of the day about 3 hours later in the Hogwarts area. Anyway, we got suckered into buying season passes, so I have a year to keep trying for more. Also, I had well over 16,000 steps on the pedometer and over 9,000 on a seperate pedometer I had worn during my overnight shift before we went to the parks.

Next week I think we're going to Star Wars Weekends at Disney. Hopefully I'll get some hits there, if not, I'll still get some awesome 3D photos.

So, I woke up this morning, anxious to watch the E3 conference. I go over to my 3DS and I see a green notification light. "What's this?" I thought. I'd never gotten a Street Pass before, so I thought this was some sort of new System Notification. I checked it and, sure enough, it was a Street Pass! My first ever!!! I live right on the square on Main Street in a small town. I don't know if she is one of my neighbors who got a 3DS, or if it was someone driving by, but I thank you GreenPixie, whoever you are. I hope we Street Pass again!

Saturday was a BONANZA!!!

I went to Nagoya Station and got 77 StreetPass hits between 2:00 and 7:53 PM when I turned off the wireless to save the last ounce of power! No joke!

I basically just walked around the station in an elliptical pattern for several hours. I'd start at the Sakura-dori Exit (probably the most crowded part of the station) behind the escalator and walk to the other side of the station with the big Seiko clock, then back.

I was able to complete every single puzzle in Puzzle Swap! Yes!!!

I got over 30,000 steps for the day!

Unfortunately, for all that, I'm still stuck on the final boss of the second playthrough of Find Mii. I've already finished the game once, but now I'm playing through it one more time to get the cooler hats.

While I was in the Station, I got stuck in that dark portion of the game where your Mii warriors are dismissed from battle unless one is wearing a white shirt. I actually approached this dude with a Nintendo 3DS and asked him to change the color of his shirt so I could clear that area -- he complied! However, for some reason, our 3DSes simply wouldn't communicate with each other, and we were unable to get a StreetPass hit off of each other. Weird! However, the dude was very nice. His name is Kohei and he is a salaryman at a company that makes juice vending machines. He has over 200 StreetPass hits, and knows a guy with 2K+ (easily possible if you walk through Nagoya Station every single day since launch).

Unhappy

But on the other hand, within the next week or so, I will have finished Find Mii/StreetPass Quest. And then what?

What will be the point in getting new StreetPass hits at that point? I've already finished all the puzzles in Puzzle Swap and will soon have the Ultimate Hat...

Is there something else I can do with StreePass hits besides those two games?

I'm in Boston now visiting my in-laws, and I setup a Steetpass Day at Patriot's Place (A shopping center in Foxboro that's connected to the New England Patriot's stadium).

I arrive at 3pm and hang out around the Gamestop. No one shows up. Taylor Swift was playing at the stadium, so while I'm waiting at Gamestop, a million 13-year-old girls are hooting and hollering up and down Patriot's Place. I figured to wait a little longer. Maybe one of these millions of insane tweenies will have a 3DS. Still nothing.

I waited for 3 hours and didn't get a single hit. I miss Tokyo, and I can't wait to go back.

I got my third street pass (but it's only the 2nd person) while helping my in-laws move over the weekend. Unfortunately, I was that person's first street pass and didn't get a new puzzle piece. Oh well. I'm happy tp have given someone else their first street pass! Besides, I'm sure I'll street pass my other friend again!

Well, don't get your hopes up. I was just lucky that one time. I usually don't get any hits when I go downtown. Have fun though

Ive never been out and about with my 3DS yet. The only streetpass ive gotten was when I setup my 2nd 3DS with my sons Mii and then forced the streetpass link up haha.

I got my very first one ever like 3 weeks ago at a Vietnamese restaurant. Then I got 2 more at Walmart in the electronics section. Oddly enough every time I go to an EB Games/Gamestop, i get none... no 3DS love in my cities game centres.

Default Nintendo StreetPass Update!

I just wanted to let everyone know that after getting my 3DS back in March, I finally got my first Streetpass tag yesterday! Woot! I got two more today as well! All of these at the same hotel. I thought it was kind of a big deal 'cause I didn't think I would ever get any...

I spent a month walking around with OoT playing and didn't realise the streetpass doesn't work if a game's playing

Got my first hit on Saturday in a game shop. I was sooo happy

It should work, whatever is being played (apart from a DS game)...

I'm hoping that the 3DS will sell a lot around the holiday season, so many more people will use streetpass, making it an even better feature.

After about 7 trips to the centre of Leicster, I've come to the conclusion that I get most of my streetpass hits when I walk past Argos, and the 2 demo 3DS units they have by the window.

I got one at the Pride Parade on Saturday. He was from three provinces over though, which was kind of neat.

Oh ok. Thanks for that. There must just be hardly any 3DS owners in Edinburgh then. It's strange though cause I couldn't find a copy of OoT when I bought my system, they were sold out everywhere.

Saying that, I've not tried going to the centre of town with it yet.....

Man, same thing happened to me. I really wanted OoT and every single copy at every single video game retailer was out in my city on the release day. I had no idea the 3DS was even big at all in my city. That's why I assumed I'd never get a Streetpass hit. The only hits I have got were all from adults though, so that's pretty funny.

Got some cool International hits today at Universal Orlando. A girl from Rio Brazil, a dude from Kent England, and a boy and a girl, both from Puerto Rico. I love passing new panels to people in StreetPass.

Bump.

To say something other than "bump", when I get a 3DS, I'll surely be going out more often with the StreetPass feature.

I currently have 264 StreePasses, of which 252 are unique people.

I have noticed that my number of StreetPasses has gone up significantly in the last couple of months. When I first got the system, I was lucky to get one hit per week even when I brought it to work (at my English conversation school in Mie-ken, Japan). Now I routinely get a few each day.

I have completed StreetPass Quest four times. So now I'm just building up Play Coins and wondering what the heck to do with them.

^When ur 3DS is in sleep mode and passes another 3DS in sleep mode, both systems trade Mii info. (Streetpass in a nutshell)

Also, I got 7 streetpasses last Friday! Woot!

I got my first one yesterday (well, technically my third, but the other two were from a GameStop demo so those barely count)! Also they had Dead or Alive: Dimensions, so I did a throwdown match with them and KICKED THEIR ASS!

StreetPasses are so fun!

I only got 3 hits (it's been 5 days since i had this 3DS)... one was from my co-worker who bought a 3DS as well, one from my cousin... and one from someone when I went to the mall for a stroll... Here in the Philippines i'm really sad that only a few peepz have 3DS coz they are Sony Fanboys jeez. I hope that'll change before Christmas.

I got 6 while I was on vacation in Edmonton Alberta Canada. I'm pretty sure I made a few people surprised when they saw that I was from NYC . I'm expecting to have a few hundred hits on Friday for the Starfox 64 3D event at Nintendo World .

There is a StreetPass North Carolina group out there.

Check out the StreetPass Network website for a groups directory.

I ususally have one or two hits when I'm going downtown. Had about 60 at Gamescom Cologne.

But when I take it to work, though there are a whole lot of schoolkids with me on the train, I only had one hit until now.

Currently, I have 278 StreetPass hits, with 264 unique Miis. What can I say? In Japan, getting StreetPass hits is like shooting fish in a barrel. I got over 70 in one day by walking around Nagoya Station for several hours.

I got my 3DS back in early May, I still only have three, and I didn't get my first one until late-mid June.

I also believe that first one was just a display demo. The other two I think were real people, but still it's kind of unexciting how little I run into others.

I got two this weekend, finally. Both at my local mall. One was from a fellow in GA and the other was from a gentleman from CA. Is it just me, or is seeing a StreetPass notification really exciting?

I just defeted the final ghost thing on Findmii, and have all puzzles completed. I only have 19 Miis, but I have 68 tags. Hopefully Nintendo releases a sequel or something, because I love Streetpass a lot and am sad that I'm all done...

I heard with the next system update, along with 3D video taking, there will be more Find Mii challenges added.

I think it was from Nintendo's Facebook page. But I just glanced at it so I remember reading it, but I'm not sure where. I don't surf the internet so it was either from Nintendo's Facebook or my 3DS notifacations. Both reliable souces.
