    I'm off to the US for a week and a half, first bit at SuperComputing in Utah and the 2nd in NY, hope to get a few hits from the geeks at SC and will wander round NY and hopefully get some more

    You should grab yourself a USB charger or something convenient like that, rather than trying to get an adapter there.

    I've 591 hits and 6 pieces of the new Kirby Wii panel.

    Got about 13 hits today and about 6 of them had the same FamiCom hat, which I found a little strange. I don't have it yet anyway, but how come they were all wearing it? Maybe it is new release and you get is some way other than street pass quest 2?
    Were you at a small gaming event or something? The famicon hat is one of the hardest to get, but it is hidden somewhere in the secret quest.

    Also, the Kirby puzzle seems a little random. I was hoping it would be Paper Mario. As usual, I got a blue piece... I've never been sent a pink piece through SpotPass. Anyone here get a pink piece for this one?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    No I was at the mall! I have all the pink pieces except for the new puzzle, none of those yet.

    If aimed at me, I travel a lot so already have an adaptor which will work on both 110V and 240V (had to get one before I went to Taiwan earlier in the year, bit annoyed the standard one only did 240V actually) so just need a UK to US pin adaptor (or a UK power strip which I have a US adaptor for).

    Sort of on that note my 3DS XL had a full charge this morning and didn't start flashing red at me till ~6 hours in to the flight (probably should have turned off the wireless), currently charging it in JFK before my 2nd flight so back to Prof Layton on the 3DSXL on the way to SLC (though my 3DS has a full charge so can just hop over to that if need be). Bloody power point on plane didn't work :-(

    Wireless on a plane, you'll crash :eek:

    Not sure about 3DS XL, but you can get an extra battery pack for the 3DS anyway, and it comes with a removeable back so you have 2 batteries you can swap in and out easily. Could be good if you travel a lot :)

    reached 100 streetpasses today!:D
    How people are supposed to acheive that in a day is beyond me. Took me near a year to reach:P

    Congrats!

    Only real chance of that achievement is at a Comic Con/Game Con/other nerdy event. I've heard of people getting it in Tokyo too (Akihabara specifically).

    13! In a shopping centre (Or was it a mall as in, in the US?)

    I've spent the past 4 days at a Science event with perhaps 4000 people (mostly kids) going past me during those days. Not. One. Hit... Fuming!

    Got my first hit in 6 weeks today, I am on 99 in my Plaza now, I think the Nintendo zone app has been blocking street pass hits for me though, anyone know how to delete it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    I was in Dundrum shopping centre yesterday for however long it takes to spend 10 quid on parking, including hitting HMV and all 3 floors of Hamelys, a single miserable hit and the swine hadn't even turned on Streetpass for MiiPlaza. WHY!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Finally passed someone with the last pink puzzle piece I needed for the NSMB2 puzzle. :) now to get a few special pieces for the Kirby wii adventure puzzle. I wonder will there be one for the imminent new Paper Mario...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Oh woe is me.... My 3DS returned from "repair" to get the e-Shop account details sorted out, and while I finally have access to my eShop titles again the process clearly involved flashing the 3DS, and it seems that MiiPlaza streetpass data is stored on the NAND so it's all gone... no puzzle pieces, no streetpass quest hats, no goldiepants Iwata....

    For the 3rd time in a year I'm on zero streetpasses.
    Except I got a green light after driving home from Stillorgan last night.

    Streetpass total : 1.
    Some dude from cork. And the only reason I could trade puzzle pieces with him is because each of us only had a single piece of the Pikmin puzzle. Oh the humanity.

    On the bright side I can finally get my friend code sorted and get back into Letterbox. Are people still sending crazy pics through the letterbox?

    It's quietened down a good bit. I removed the kids that were sending the really annoying messages!

    I'll believe that when I see it. :pac: Probably should have used the "what 3ds games are you looking forward to" thread, since I believe Paper Mario has no streetpass features. :(

    Met a guy yesterday who informed me we street pass all the time! He knew me from my mii. Then we talked about how great street pass is. He is jealous of all my puzzle pieces.

    Awesome! I subconsciously map people's features and then compare them to Miis I've met. :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    Also there aren't too many people with an Irish location where I live! This guy said a lot of people lie about where they are from so their friends can get more location achievements :O

    I go through 4 airports this weekend! Let's see how I fare on street pass hits!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    If you streetpass all the time why hasn't he *got* all your puzzle pieces?
    Something's rotten in the state of denmark....

    Apparently a lot of people just leave it at Anguilla which is the first on the list when you first switch on a US console. I even met someone from Anguilla in Galway before! :pac:

    Airports have disappointed me in the past, so don't set your expectations too high!

    Awe, I met someone from Anguila in GAME last year, I was sure at the time that it had been a rare encounter to meet someone from an exotic island archipelago, your explanation is annoyingly logical. ;)

    change your region under settings to Ireland if want your USA or Japanese 3ds to work in ireland


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Funny story, I was cycling into town today and streetpassed 2 people, one was called PRAISE and the other one was called JEREMIAH. Pretty weird! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 334 ✭✭jaydoxx


    Freaky is a more suitable word for that ^^
    But I guess it's better than 'hail' and 'satan' haha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Had a good day streetpassing today, got 4 hits, reached 1234, met someone from Finland, found another hard-to-find Kirby Adventure Wii puzzle piece, and discovered a Famicon hat in streetpass quest 2! :D :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Over christmas I borrowed my brother-in-law's 3DS and streetpassed the hell out of it. Can't believe what a difference a level 5 Mii makes to Streetpass quest. If it wasn't for that damned cyan shield he could have gone all the way.... Shame that despite being an early adopter he only had one puzzle piece to his name, and I already had it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 334 ✭✭jaydoxx


    Got 4 streetpasses without leaving my house, success!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 732 ✭✭✭Reebrock


    Had a 3ds for about a year but I just play games. Can someone explain please what street pass actually is?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,226 ✭✭✭robman60


    Can anyone explain this?

    I StreetPassed someone today (level 7), and due to the place I was in SPQII, I decided to use the Mii in the regular quest. I'm aiming for the accomplishments for completing the quest with under 30 Miis, as well as dealing over fifty damage in a single turn.

    Anyway, I froze the blood ghost with the first Mii, then hit the ghost with 5 hits (four 7s and he had about one HP left for the fifth hit, so 29 minimum. Moved to the next room, same Mii beat an armoured ghost (10 HP) and hit the blood ghost with three 7s.

    So, 29+10+21=60

    When I returned to the menu, I didn't get the accomplishment. Does it have to be all against one enemy or something?

    I'd appreciate some advice guys!

    I'm pretty sure you have to get over 50 HP against a single enemy. I think I got it after I paired two high level Miis together, I think they have to be level 7s and the same colour (or black and white), to score 60pts (15x3 + an extra 15). This would be your best bet for getting over 50HP. Just calculating it now, two level 6s would do too, or a level 5 Mii teamed with a level 7 Mii (13 HP x4 = 52), again both Miis need to be the same colour or B&W.

    Another way is to get a high level pink Mii, use magic to give a moral boost to subsequent heroes in the queue, and they'll be more likely to strike critical hits as a direct consequence. There's also the luck element that could help with the odd critical hit, but it's unpredictable and random. Hope this helps! :)

    P.S. you'd have to do this when fighting one of the tougher enemies or bosses, who'd need to have at least 50 HP remaining, so you'd actually be able to damage them by 50 HP or more.

    That can't be correct as it must be accomplished in the original StreetPass Quest, which doesn't have the team up function. I've done in numerous times in SPQ II, and no accomplishment!

    I might try freezing one of the high HP enemies towards the end of the quest, then using pink magic. If that's not it then I'm stumped.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    Oh my bad, forgot that it had to be the first quest.

    the hidden cost of HMV going in to Receivership : No street passes in Liffey Valley two visits in a row!
    You don't hear about *that* on the RTE news... :(

    I rarely ever get any there, even when HMV was still open.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Last week I walked past 2 kids playing 3DS in Liffey Valley. I found about 8 different excuses to circle around them trying to see if their WiFi switch was on. chased my toddler around about 3 feet away from them (this is not a euphimism), then tied my lace, checked my phone, did some calf stretches, pumped the tires on the buggy, made my daughters put their coats back on etc etc. Still no green light. Eventually I had to storm off to Boots in a huff.


    I was in DS mode.
    Damn you, Pokemon Black 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,681 ✭✭✭Wolverine359


    ^Sorry but that story is hilarious!! Very well told! :D Yeah I've barely got any hits since HMV closed, it was probably my main source for hits at lunchtime, but I haven't got any in days now, even with the odd stroll around the shops. GameStop is generally useless. I think I might soon be getting that "got your first streetpass in a while" accomplishment! Or maybe I'll never get it because I'll never get another streetpass ever again, with everyone just giving up hope since the end of Game and HMV. Or maybe I'm just in a pessimistic mood right now... :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    I get streetpass hits twice a day! :-D
    Really catching up on the puzzle swap pieces! I only have four of the pink pieces left to get!







    (and a ton of normal pieces)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    "I used to get it twice a day but then I was lucky if I got one a month and now it's dried up completely. I'm not sure I even remember what the pink bits are for... "

    Tend to get hits around Dundrum Shopping Centre. McDonald's is another good spot to pass through. Anywhere where the youth of today go. Was going to start loitering around playgrounds and schools but I don't think it would be worth the trouble. "What's that man doing over there? He keeps looking at the kids and putting his hand in his pocket!" "I can't tell but he may be just Streetpassing..."

    It wasn't actually me that met you though. Herself has it on her commute for the sole purpose of playing Layton (only game series she's really loved in the last few years). She's goes from Heuston to Temple Bar every morning and evening so it must have been somewhere on that route....unless you're outside my house right now :eek:

    By the way, love the NES hat you have there! Haven't seen that one before! :)
    ...also, thought you were over in Canada?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    Hmmmmm well I cleared mine when I got on the bus... Who knows where it was.

    Nope moved back to Ireland last month. Working in the city centre now.

    I have ALL the hats. Still missing one puzzle pieces though ¬_¬

    Any decent games out now for 3ds?? Might pick one up again
    What games do you already have? Both resident evil games are pretty good, heard mario cart is great. Zelda is brill. The 3ds version of the sims is crap. Ghost recon is also worth a look. Didn't like starfox personally but a lot of people do. Street fighter's also an alright game
