New features will be making way to the Mii Plaza on the 3DS by end of this year, Iwata announced at a recent investors briefing. Iwata was asked about updates for the application, and he responded by saying that he has heard complaints regarding the lack of replay value and that Nintendo plans to update the Mii Plaza with new features later this year.
Iwata also remarked that Nintendo is working on titles that will make further use of the Mii Plaza.
Me too Straw. I have only gotten 2 StreetPasses since I got my 3DS at launch, so I have to use coins to buy heroes and they pretty much suck.To be fair, none of the streetpass heroes I've gotten have been any better than the ones I bought with coins.
