■What’s
the range of StreetPass?
30m
■How long does it take to StreetPass
another 3DS?
It depends, it can be instant, but users have reported that
it can take up to quarter of an hour and sometimes not at all. It appears to
depend on which software is using StreetPass and if you’re StreetPassing lots of
users with multiple pieces of software. Sometimes it can take some time to catch
up.
■How do I know I’ve got a StreetPass hit?
With the system closed
the light in the top right hand corner of your 3DS will illuminate with a green
LED, with the system open, in the main 3DS menu, a small green circle will
appear in the bottom right hand corner of the software icon.
■Do all 3DS
games have StreetPass?
No, only some it will say on the back of the game case
■How many StreetPasses can I
get per day?
However many you can find, there’s no daily limit, but each
piece of software has an upper limit of stored StreetPass hits before you have
to clear down the software to obtain more.
■I get to 10
StreetPass hits and then stop, why is this?
The streetpass mii plaza only accepts 10 hits before the gate must be cleared. To clear it you just launch the streetpass mii plaza. Some 3ds/2ds systems are known to suprisingly go from 10 to 99. No one knows why but it has happened.
What is streetpass?
StreetPass is a feature present in every Nintendo 3DS system that allows users to exchange data from games & applications that the two own. It is on regardless of whether the 3DS is in sleep mode or not (though the system itself must be on), and automatically acts when another 3DS user walks within the console's range. With it, players can acquire new features in games that they own (even if the game's card is not presently in the 3DS card slot) and obtain the Miis of 3DS users that walk past them. If one wishes, they can turn the feature off completely or assign the games that they want it to work with. Several games have made use of this function in unique ways. Other content that can be transmitted include puzzle piece for Puzzle Swap, messages from the user (in addition to their favorite game on the system), and their most played song with Nintendo 3DS Sound.
The LED notifier of the upper right side of the Nintendo 3DS (when closed) alerts players when data has been exchanged with another user whether it be through StreetPass or SpotPass with a blinking green LED color.
