3DS StreetPass

robman60 · 08-04-2013 4:46pm

Had a strange StreetPass experience at the weekend. I was at the local GAA pitch watching my brother's match. Pretty small affair, fewer than fifty people in attendance.

To my pleasant surprise, I had a hit. I figured some kid down there must have brought his down. Instead, a person from Oita, Japan! :pac:

Street passed a guy called Raythian who I suspect has something to do with the Leinster rugby squad. They get lunch 10 meters from outside my office window after training.

A new streetpass puzzle is available, for Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Got 8 streetpass hits this afternoon - amazing!

Met someone from western Pomerania in Poland too.

I got a Streetpass Hit taking my grand total up to... 3. I'm still trying to complete the first Metroid puzzle from launch. :pac:

Ireland is crap for streetpass! I get very few hits but never any pieces! Makes me angry. I need all the special pieces for the 2 new puzzles

I blame the Irish government.

I was in Gamestop the other day and I saw someone pick up a 3DS game. Thought it might have been weird if I went right up behind them. I'm sure I'd have gotten an actual hit instead of a Streetpass hit.

If I saw someone with a 3ds I'd probably follow them.

I like to walk in and out of gamestops with hope.

I'm also a shop lurker, with dreams of streetpass hits!

Sadly, dreams are all they ever are

I do that too; I'll hover around the main desk for a while in hope they have one out the back turned on and getting hits.

I also stalk punters in and out of those stores...glad to know I'm not that weird after all

Nobody said it's not weird. Just not that uncommon.

You calling me weird ya mad Luigi freak?

(Love that letterbox pic of Luigi you sent on! Glad to put an actual face to the Mii after all this time. We should all send a pic of each other with the letterbox update seeing as we've all been connected for so long).

The best places I've found for getting hits were Blanchardstown shopping center and walking between the Cinema on Parnell street and the Liffey, via either Millenium Way or the one with the place that does Games Workshop miniatures. Always get 2 or 3.

But it's not Ireland, it's Dublin - if you look back over the thread, Limerick or Galway or some other mecca of the Wesht be trippin' streetpasses. Dog.

Haven't seen a single pink piece on the last 2 puzzles, but I've had maybe 4 hits in the last 3 weeks somewhere near my house, all people who's last game was MiiPlaza and who had very few puzzle pieces - maybe they just bought 3DSes and I can look forward to some more hits?

Princess Peach · 23-04-2013 2:26pm

Cineworld on Parnell st is fairly decent too. But still nobody has the pieces for me!

wampyrus77 · 23-04-2013 10:20pm

ireland isnt crap for streetpass its depends where you go in ireland the big ones i would be dublin city centre, especially this Friday 26th of April going pokemon hunting event at stephen's green park, going gamers, children, people from japan are from around world at this event, reason i said japan because its dit japan animation society and Pokemon society are supporting it this pokemon hunting, very good chance to pickup very good 3ds miis, and the event starts at 2pm

RobbingBandit · 23-04-2013 10:26pm

I miss HMV in Henry Street, every time I went in I got two hits, one from the store display 3DS and one from the staff demo 3DS XL, came in handy on street pass quest to have some level 6 characters.

robman60 · 23-04-2013 10:51pm

I've actually got a few hits locally recently, usually during my lunch break. Never any pieces though. The lack of hits sucks and StreetPass meetup version 2.0 is (potentially) in the pipeline at the moment! Express your interest here folks if you'd be interested in doing this! :pac:
I managed to finish the secret quest for a 10th time this evening too, still three hats to get though!

Same with me. Receiving a pink piece through Spotpass seems to be far rarer than the 1/5 you'd expect. Mii plaza doesn't appear as the most recent software as far as I know; I don't know why though.

Wampy, is there any chance you could translate that into English? Sounds like there's some sort of international Pokémon event on in town on Friday. Is there a website where one might learn more? Also, I didn't hear a mention of it over in the pokémon forum - I'm sure they would be interested though if you want to mention it there...

Wolverine359 · 24-04-2013 8:36am

Streetpassed someone from Vienna the other day, they had nearly every single puzzle piece. It was a hard choice, but I picked a pink fire emblem square in the end.

since going gamers and kids from around the world entering this event could be good chance to get mii on your 3ds streetpass and good puzzles pieces on friday

I've been tempted to put up threads saying "heading to Dublin next week, where will ye be at x pm so that I can get some street passes"

But that's verging on having a problem!

Ya ya cos they're swimming in them down in Tralee... When I worked in Dublin I got about one a day. In the past 4 months I've gotten 5 hits while in cork. Only one had a new piece for me (I only have about 400/550 pieces). The majority of hits I've gotten we're either from Dublin or England (I got 5 yesterday in stanstead!)

Where's it on? Is there any web links??

Star Lord · 24-04-2013 3:19pm

Stephens Green according to Wampy, but I've not seen or heard anything further about this?

Just Like Heaven · 24-04-2013 9:49pm

Worst case scenario Wampy has indirectly organised a board 3ds meet up.

cherryghost · 24-04-2013 10:09pm

No, DIT Anime society organized it. I'm sure there'll be plenty of 3DS' hovering around.
