Guess I wont get those new StreetPass games since I am not paying $5 each for them (MAYBE $5 for all 4).

The video is great, I feel like all the games together are like gateway games to Animal Crossing and Nintendo Land. Especially Nintendo Land. Out of all of them I want the shooter the most, it has a kind of a Wonderful 101 functionality that can get with. I downloaded the update but cannot figure out how to back up any data but I would rather have the games... I hope it isn't a long wait.

I downloaded the update but cannot figure out how to back up any data.

For every digital game, there is now an left-pointing arrow at the bottom left corner of the touch screen. Touching that will show the option to back up the save data. Also, you can back up the data through the System Settings.

Thanks, I just figured it out as you replied.

I wouldn't be surprised if we will get them for cheap-as-free considering how much more difficult it is to StreetPass here in the West.


Though I'm not doing too bad myself. I already have 36 passes...though 16 are from my sister. But I'm still making good progress on the puzzles.

I don't think I'd ever pay for StreetPass Plaza stuff.

Real feature of update - blocks Gateway 3DS and DS flashcarts.

I know I never will

Well, I don't know, guys. I'm definitely about to cap Find Mii stuff, I literally have nothing left to do in that game, so these new titles come as a godsend to me. The mansion one looks especially awesome, as does Streetpass squad. I hope they aren't too expensive, but I can't see them being all that much money.

Unless Nintendo just keeps doing events like the Best Buy E3 event or the Zelda concerts, I'll probably never finish the panels, let alone have need for new street pass games.

[pokepal148]

no i never really use coins on streetpass so i am good

[Nemo]

I've had every hat for months. And I have just about every non-pink puzzle piece.

I really enjoy StreetPass Plaza, so I'm pretty excited about this and more than willing to pay for it. I'd say I've gotten $5 of enjoyment out of both Find Mii and Puzzle Swap. I'd be willing to pay $20 for 4 more similar games. Of course, less cost is nice.

I guess the 3DS can do background updates now. I just opened my 3DS this morning to find another system update had been downloaded automatically.

The wonders of technology!

Had the same this morning.

[NWR_insanolord]

It's been able to do that for a while. It's one of the ways they initially showed off SpotPass.

Latest Nintendo Direct in Japan.

Denpa Men 3.

And some AR game with this guy:

not the Iwata head, the other guy.

One quick question, is there a way to play 3DS Games on a TV? I remember having a Wii and a DS and for some reason it seems to me like I could download demos or something on the Wii  and transfer those to the DS or am I remembering wrong? Is there a similar feature like that for 3ds?

Also is there any connectivity between the two, I know I am in the minority of a minority but I loved GBA-GC connectivity it was the best underrated feature of the GC.

[Wah]

No toddra to answer your question, and guys TRY a streetpass game (battle!) they are not that bad

[toddra]

It isn't that big a deal anyways, the screen looks big enough to not cause eye strain. That was the main issue I had with GBA until I got a GameBoy player I had a hard time getting into GBA games.
