streetpass failures/successes.

[milkday]

I'm in a small village in Norfolk, UK and I've got heaps in the local city. I got 5 in another small town nearby and 3 in mine every time I take it out. I always see the same guy wherever I go- the city, the beach, the town...

Eh, here you can pretty much only get it at cons or if you walk past random areas while people game... It was easier before when it was more new now it's like you gotta be lucky or go to those cons.

I usually get 100 or so streetpasses at conventions. Other than that I can get a few at college but that's it~

I live a bit outside of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and I don't think anyone else here even owns a 3ds because I've literally never gotten a streetpass. I don't try that often anymore but yeah, it's really annoying.

I went to Gothenburg and walked around for a few hours, got one streetpass for animal crossing and 3 or 4 for pok?mon :> I don't share miis because I'm really not interested in that, but that was a great success!!

But another time when I went to central Stockholm and walked around in shopping malls and gaming stores and turist location for hours (my ds told me i had walked 13 000 steps) I only got one streetpass. for pok?mon. (and imo pok?mon streetpasses are kinda useless, I want animal crossing so much more) That was really disappointing.

I rarely bring my 3ds out with me when I go out in my daily life because I usually go to either school, to the shopping mall five minutes away from my home or to a lake close to my house and while there are other people there I've never had any luck with it and I don't want to risk my ds getting stolen in school or w/e.

I've never gone to a convention because of social anxiety but if I ever did it'd be because I wanted streetpasses lol

aa i went into london and got streetpassed by the same person when i arrived there and got the train back
sO i guess they worked at the station ? gosh they must get quite a few SPes a day haha

I'm from a small country where no one really has a 3DS, here they just play LoL all day. So I have 0 streetpasses!

XD.... I think people with train station jobs or airplane airport jobs have the highest chance to get streetpasses a lot... lol

Everyone I SP either is super avid and has almost beaten every game 100%, or they just started and have like 2 other SPes. I'm kinda in the middle and its awkward. :/
I'm talking about the SP Mii Plaza if you were wondering.

Other than that, nothing that's really stood out in any other games... I just wish you could have more than 12 games supported at once. It felt like way too much when the 3DS first came out, and now it's not nearly enough. ;_;

My thoughts exactly.

I have gotten so few true StreetPass; if it wasn't for Nintendo Zones...

At malls and Barnes & Noble I get 3 to 6... A good day is 7, a great day is 10!

I still love playing all the StreetPass games. I have no idea why but I think they are so much fun!

 

[Midoriya]

I don't play any of the extra Streetpass mini-games... I just don't have enough streetpasses for it... XD

I only had my current DS in my house and got a streetpass...

I take my 3DS to school and I used to Street Pass this one girl in my year over and over which made SP Quest much easier to complete! But I haven't SP'd her recently so I don't think she takes it to school anymore. There's someone else who I've also been seeing in my plaza from school recently but they don't have many puzzle pieces... So annoying.

It's weird, though. I get more SP at the shopping centre in my town than like anywhere else. Even more so than when I went to London. I didn't even get that many SPs when I went to New York. I was kind of surprised actually. :\ But it's because of Nintendo Zones... There are quite a few set up in shops in the shopping centre so usually I SP around 6 people a day when I take a trip up there which is pretty good. It's not always the same people either!

When I went to Comic con, I got over 100 SP before I stopped checking and letting people in my gate.

I get almost no Streetpasses to be honest. I streetpass my brother and my other town but that's it. Even when I go to busy places in town, I only rarely get one streetpass at most. It's incredibly frustrating. I feel like I'm never going to finish it.

In a few months I'm travelling to a more highly populated area with more tourists so I'll bring my DS and see how many streetpasses I get then. It's just silly that they make you streetpass so many people in order to get the gold badge. I don't think they took into account people who live in rural areas or don't pass many people with Animal Crossing in general.

I heard of someone going to Japan and getting 100+ streetpasses during their travels. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to go to Japan for that benefit.

Well there are a lot of people with a Nintendo 3DS system at college so i often reach the limit of receiving data of 10 people.

 

[emolga]

I sometimes bring my 3DS to high school with me, and I usually only pass two or three people. (Usually the same people.) I've passed two people who have ACNL. I hate it when I streetpass someone who doesn't have any puzzle pieces, though.

Not really... Surprisingly, Atlanta and Gatlinburg have, like, none... The aquarium? THREE IN THE WHOLE COMPLEX. But I Sp my mom just about every day... The exact number is unreliable, but I've SP'ed her over 215 times.

There aren't many in New Orleans either.

There aren't many in New Orleans either.

Really??? Just went this Saturday: I got a German (Bavaria), a Canadian (Quebec), a Japanese person (no prefecture registered), two Californians, and a Massachusettsan(???). I also got an ACNL SP from Texas, so...

Apparently I have a neighbor with a 3DS. I wish she had puzzle pieces, but since it's near impossible to meet anyone here even with two Nintendo Zones, I totally see why she doesn't.
