Nintendo 3DS

Really what I don't understand is how you would use the face buttons. I know it's probably for games you wouldn't really need it for anyway, but since it's on the right, it makes me wonder how you would press those easily while using the circle pad pro.

A new system update is out now for the Nintendo 3DS.

System Transfer from a Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system

The Mii Plaza has not been updated for North America yet.

Likely because of this.




I'm sure the new mii quests will be out in North America in a few days.

Been waiting for the back-up data thing, Nintendo announced something about being able to do that a long time ago...

The new streetpass updates sound cool. And NA doesn't have the updates yet?

I think there still working on the Mii Plaza shop for North America.

Anyway here are the teams that are making the Mii games.

StreetPass Garden – Grezzo (Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition)
StreetPass Mansion – Prope (Let’s Tap, Ivy the Kiwi?, Fishing Resort)
StreetPass Squad – Good-Feel (Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Wario Land: Shake It!)
StreetPass Battle – Spike Chunsoft (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward

Here's a video showing the new games.




It looks like Garden is based off of Zelda, Mansion is based of Mario and Luigi, Squad is based off of Metroid and Star Fox and Battle is based off of Pokemon.

Seeing all the different hats makes me mad that my data for streetpass was erased when I got the XL, but the new games look like something I wish they had added from the beginning, definitely makes doing streetpass more worth it.

I didn't know that you actually had to pay money for those. >_> I probably won't be buying any of them, then, when they do come to NA. (and they haven't yet)

Do you have to pay money or do you spend the streetpass coins that you get, because spending money on those seems kind of silly.

^ You do, at least in Europe. They should've just used play coins, they're barely used for anything on the 3DS anyway.

Now at Target.com (yes, it's an online only offer) you can get a Flame Red 3DS console bundled with Paper Mario Sticker Star for a price of $180, with free shipping. I'd say this is a really good deal, if you don't have a 3DS or just want another one, as well as Sticker Star, you should take this opportunity to buy both for a cheap price.

Firmware update 6.1.0-12 U is now available. 

The option to update StreetPass Mii Plaza is now available from the Streetpass Mii Plaza menu




• Updating StreetPass Mii Plaza will provide new features, such as the ability to change your Mii character's expression and the ability to purchase new StreetPass Mii Plaza games*
  
• The ability to update within StreetPass Mii Plaza and purchase paid content is only available to users in regions where the full version of the Nintendo eShop is available Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.
  
  

Oh cool. So then, has anybody else purchased the streetpass games? I want to know whether they're good enough for me to buy, as they don't particularly look that great.

I've been contemplating purchasing one. I'm just not too sure which one I want. xp I have enough to purchase one I'm just not sure which one I want yet.. ^^; XD

Oh hey wait there seems to be a bundle option! Each game costs $4.99 separately: Mii Force, Flower Town, Warriors Way, & Monster Tower.

If you decide to go with the bundle option you can get all four for $14.99! O-o So yea I'll probably go that route. XD I just have to add funds to my 3DS is all. xp

[*Please note: this deal is only available when you buy your first of these games.]

^ When I was reading the first few sentences of your post, I forgot what I had posted previously, so I thought you were talking about a 3DS.

I have $5 on my 3DS currently I believe, so unless there's some other $5 game I want, I may just get one of those. They still don't look all that fun to me, but I haven't really seen them, so I don't know.

And what deal are you talking about that's only available after your first game purchase?

I'm talking about the 4 new Mii Plaza games: Mii Force, Flower Town, Warriors Way, & Monster Tower. If you go to purchase one your given the option of purchasing all of them at once. You only get the option when you go to purchase your first game so be careful when you go to buy one of the Mii plaza games that are available if you want to purchase all of them.
