Street Pass seems to be a very utilized feature

[themistermanguy]

Seriously, nearly every major 3DS game uses it. And 3rd parties seem to like it as well, since nearly every 3rd party 3DS game uses it in creative ways. It and Spot Pass certainly feel more utilized than Play Coins, Wii Motion Plus, Wii Connect 24, Wii Zapper, DS Rumble Pak, Pictochat, and the Gamepad COMBINED.

It's a very good idea for Japan. With it's high population density. Everywhere else.... Not so much. I can see it maybe working in places like a University campus. But living in Australia, I have never once had a Street Pass occur.

Ya basically that, Unless you end up going to an convention or a big nintendo event most people won't get many street passes in their day to day lives.

Not all games used that feature like e.g. Professor Layton (I don't get why as they could of used it to pass each other mini puzzles) and yeah like the two people above me had said, it only good if you're in a well populated area. Granted I don't have that much of a problem but I rarely have 10 people in one walk (I average around 3-9).

I get around ten or fifteen hits every day here in Norway. Three or four if I just stay at home, but I do live by a street with very heavy trafic.

All in all the spotpass feature works extremely well for me.

i'll be honest I have no idea what street pass is or why it's supposedly so great. but thanks to Yahtzee I know know that it's a feature to get the attention of japanese school kids and therefore I want nothing to do with it.. wait it's not? oh.. that's what I though it was.. damn you for misleading me Yahtzee!..

I still honestly don't really know what streetpass really is.. something about exchanging things to other DS owners or something?

I dont really take my 3ds out with me so i've never had a hit, even on the times i have taken it out still nothing here in England.

I've had pretty good success with my StreetPass. At University I only tend to get 1 or 2 hits, and maybe a couple if I leave my 3DS by my bedroom window. But since my girlfriend lives in Glasgow I tend to quickly reach my 10-hit limit as soon as I get off the train, and that's both on the way in and the way out!

I quite like getting new Guild Cards in Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate from it. Not that I ever tend to use them, but it pleases me to see that there are other people that actually play it.

When two 3ds owners love each other very much, they swap each others details and then they get bonuses

A more serious explanation is when the 3ds pass each other, the miis get swapped and in some games you'll get bonuses or challenges. Fire Emblem awakening allows you to fight their team, Bravely Default grows your village in game for bonuses. Some games don't use it, like Phoenix Wright - Dual Destinies.

With the 3ds itself, it comes preinstalled with a puzzle swap thing where you swap pieces, And a dungeon minigame where you can earn hats for your miis. Neither are that mindblowing but as a kid, it would be kinda cool to see billybob from school fighting demons.

I don't get much use out of the Nintendo Portable Cyber-Stalking Initiative.

The most hits I got daily were from my math dept at university, and the blitz of passes precluding the full deathmatches of Kid Icarus: Uprising before Physics 2 every morning. (so weird to clobber my TA in DM just before he hands me today's sheet on electromagnetic inductance)

The remote spot/street/whatever pass that was implemented in the United States that stores data and then transmits to passing 3DSs made it a lot easier to get them on my 3DS. I also turn on the wireless whenever I travel, much to the dismay of my wife on a layover.

On New Super Mario Bros. 2, you get coin high scores to challenge, so that's been fun stomping the crap out of someone else's record.
