3DS StreetPass

    I'd see 3dses in certain stores but I often notice that the wireless function is off, so I slide the little slider on the right side to activate it (the light turns yellow), resulting in a streetpass hit. ;) You know you've got hit if you see the green power light suddenly flash on the store's unit. Sometimes it doesn't work though, which means they must have it completely disabled in the settings.

    Thank you!
    If that doesn't work
    "The way to break out of the demo game is the hold down L and R and hit the power button continuously, maybe once every three or four seconds, until you get the system screen that asks you if you want to enter sleep mode or press the home button to return to the home screen. Press home and you're in."

    Gonna sort it out the next day if it isn't :D

    Finished all the puzzles when I was in Tokyo, took no time at all due to the ridiculous amount of hits I was getting. Haven't taken it out with me since then (early July), due to there being nothing to collect. Any news of more puzzles etc being released?

    Tokyo of course you get that many hits because Nintendo has be around in japan since 1889


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,411 ✭✭✭Icyseanfitz


    i wonder will i get many hits in tralee :rolleyes: probably will they will just be the glass bottle kind

    New site: http://passid.ca/faq
    Basically
    This tool, PassID, enables Nintendo 3DS gamers to improve their StreetPass encounters by opting to share a name, photo, Friend Code, brief bio and select contact information. Gamers who create an account at the PassID website (http://passid.ca/) can input the data they wish to share and then create a personalized, short URL that represents their public "badge." The URL is then shared as the greeting message that Mii characters offer in StreetPass Mii Plaza, effectively giving each Mii a robust ID badge.


    I had the idea of creating something like this a while back..but nothing came off it.

    Would probaly help if i had any streetpass hits though :pac:

    Yes, I know. I spent way too much money on famicom and famicom disk system games not to know that!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭wampyrus77

    Hey there guys, I am doing a small survey on another site to find out if puzzles are randomly generated or based on location. I am missing European results for just one puzzle, Super Mario Bros, so if this was anyones original puzzle, i.e. the one they got at the start then could you please tell me the country and then if possible county you live in?

    Thanks guys.



    I have all puzzles except NSBW and getting a location for this would help a lot!


  • Registered Users Posts: 35 Mr.D.CraicLAAD


    my 3ds broke, and i had 5 hits, room 6 of spq, not bothered about puzzle thing, wiped out, back to square 1, one hit, my friend at school


  • Registered Users Posts: 251 ✭✭Fawk Nin


    I have about 25 hits since getting the 3ds at launch, took a good bit of time to slowly build them up though. We should get some sort of 3ds street pass event going in dublin


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭wampyrus77


    Finished all the puzzles and ive 101 streetpass hits

    I only have 7 hits since launch, but I never really bring it with me unless I am travelling on a sat, so would walk through the city centre hoping to get a few hits.

    Was going to get SM3DL on Friday and bring the system with me as there might be loads of people around with their 3DS but have to wait till sat morning or afternoon now so hope to get a few hits when I go around all the shops to find the best price :-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    Got 1 on grafton street and I wasn't even anywhere near eiretakon :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 987 ✭✭✭psicic


    1 hit only :(

    Mind you, only have the thing a week. :pac:

    Got the hit while I was zooming through traffic on my motorbike - assume it was someone on a bus, or else someone crossing the road while I was stopped at traffic lights.

    Spent twenty minutes walking around Stephen's Green area today - passed a good few groups of Spanish teens - thought one of them would have a 3DS but no luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,276 ✭✭✭readyletsgo


    Tell me about it! I have mine about 6 months, only have 12 streetpass hits!
    Every Sat I walk through Henry st and around the game shops to have a look with the 3ds with me for an hour or so and never get hit! On a Saturday!

    Last week I even went as far as Henry st then to Grafton st and stephens green for a few hours, not, one, hit! Seems like no one has a 3ds in Dublin at all!
    But I guess after Xmas, all the kids will be carrying theirs around with them so, soon...

    Maybe most people dont know that they have something called 'streetpass' on the system or never turn it on or some rubbish like that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,437 ✭✭✭Josey Wales


    When it first came out I was getting hits regularly in the evening at Tara Street train station. I haven't taken it out into town in a couple of months. I might start again after Christmas.

  • Registered Users Posts: 987 ✭✭✭psicic


    I thought there might be some trick I could copy... oh well... thanks anyways.

    Guess I'll go on the prowl around some of the games stores this weekend.... if no luck, I might start loitering around DIT with intent!

    I had my 3DS out with me in Dundrum Town Centre while doing Christmas shopping on Wednesday. We were there for about four hours and I only got one hit. That hit belonged to a demo display in Hamleys.

    Today in town I got some Streetpass data for Super Mario 3D Land but no new Mi.


  • Registered Users Posts: 125 ✭✭randomuser77


    Has anyone from Cork got many hits? I've had two in the month that I've owned my 3DS but they were from a Dub and a Brit. Any Cork people actually bothering?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    I got one in school today, no idea who it is! Couldn't believe it! I like that the Mario Kart ghost data is exchanged. Hopefully a few more pop up after christmas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Brought the 3ds out for the first time today and got 1 hit. Might start bringing it to work and see if I can get more :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭wampyrus77

    Why not just give us an update every month or something, that way we can see your stellar progress but not all the time, which is a bit tedious.
