    I was in town today for the marathon. Must have been thousands of supporters there so of course I brought my 3ds.

    Forgot I'd turned off my Internet/street pass to save battery. No hits

    DAM!

    That's a rookie mistake gubbie, a rookie mistake! :pac:

    Ouch! I feel your pain man, I've lost my streetpass data twice. It takes a while but you *do* get over it, you move on and it starts to feel like your 3DS again. After about 34 streetpass hits.

    Pound for pound I've found Blanchardstown shopping centre is the best. Only place - including city centre - where I always get a hit every time, and the one place I've gotten a full 10 hits.

    Up to four already, just pissed I have lost a hit from an American guy and one from Korea, weird ones I won't get again for a long time, I am begining to think my sd slot on the 3ds XL may be faulty, worst thing is it is my Fire Emblem console, not sure I will be able to get a replacement if I did return it, damn Nintendo and their shoddy merchandise.:rolleyes:

    I've found the best place is Cineworld on Parnell st. Get an average of 5/6 there usually!

    I'm often there also, I'm a nice person to pass!

    The real best place ever though was my town in Canada. It was a bad day with only 3 hits :( Take me back!

    In other news, got my Goldpants Iwata back. Did he visit everyone, or just those of us who didn't already have him on the books?

    He visited everyone. Isn't that the first time he's visited Europeans though? The last Spotpass Mii we got was celebrating the one year anniversary of the 3DS release and that was Reggie, I think.

    I dunno, he looks familiar and I have lots of emails to NoE support asking them to preserve my Goldpants Iwata last december- they never once said "that's Reggie you 'king pleb!" But the original is gone so I'll never know :(

    I've had mine since launch, and this is my second time getting Iwata. Never got Reggie!

    I accidentally copied him into Mii Maker (just experimenting, never usually do that) before playing puzzle swap, and now he's no longer in my plaza so no free pink piece. That doesn't happen when I copy in other met miis. :( Very irritating. Still have the original Iwata at least, and they wear different coloured shirts!

    I've been watching too many American videos :P

    You're correct, Europeans have received Iwata twice, the only two Spotpass miis we've received. Americans, on the other hand have received four (Scott Moffit visited to coincide with E3 last year and they received Iwata at LM's release).

    He's worked on the Zelda games since OoT I think. He's in a band called The Wind Wakers which is composed of Nintendo staff, I think that alone makes him cool! :pac:

    Oops, must have been typing as you were posting your message, ah well it's so exciting it deserves to be announced twice. ;) by the way, just saw your Mii on the streetpass plaza, it's been 9 months since we streetpassed! Looking forward to the Galway meetup on July 13th! :pac:

    I'm imagining what it'd be like if we got regular special mii spotpasses... We would no longer struggle to get the pink pieces, and could have more puzzles... :-D

    Streetpass plaza needs more Miyamoto and Reggie ...

    A good tip that probably everybody knows is if you get a streetpass take a pink piece over others

    While that'd sensible advice, it's not enough! There's probably a few more visitors coming to represent the other key games shown at E3. Let's synchronise the pink pieces we're selecting based on who's got what and in which region, then arrange day trips to maximise coverage. We're in the middle of a recession, ireland needs that streetpass tourist money more than ever! Let's do it for Dev!
