    Try setting it the game to one-round matches. You'll only have to win once.

    Sorry. Had to vent. I'm really that frustrated.

    I hate him almost just as much when I'm only playing on medium. I'm pretty sure he has extra health in arcade mode as he sure as shit doesn't have any in versus. Maybe he'd be fine if he wasn't buffed in arcade.

    The thing with the Seth boss battle is that there are a bunch of moves that he doesn't use until he has lost. If it's set to one round, he uses them right away.

    Stuck my 3DS in my pocket today. Went to a Best Buy, then to a Wal-Mart, and waited in line at the drive-thru at Chick-fil-a.

    Not a single Streetpass to be found.

    Okay. Steel Diver is a pretty good game. I might buy it someday if I can get it for less than $30.

    I did up to the fifth mission and couldn't beat it because I ran out of time, with a 15-minute time limit. I don't feel like doing that again, so back to GameFly you go.

    I like to think of this as a sick burn.

    My first 3DS had a similar issue. The sticker was applied at a wonky angle and started to peel away due to not being perfectly flat.

    How are people getting all those StreetPasses? I just spend 2 weeks in Italy on a study trip and I dragged my 3DS with me through Perugia, Assisi, Siena, Firenze and even freaking middle of Rome, and I didn't get a single hit D: NOT A SINGLE ONE!!
    Guess Italians hate Nintendo or something. Or maybe they are to cool to drag their 3DS around in public.

    But I got a crapton of coins though. Most days I racked up over 20.000 steps :P I can see why they kept the cap at 10 coins pr. day. Otherwise I would have over 1500 coins by now.

    Oh. And my inbox is filled with unread emails from the FriendCode-thing. Thanks a lot guys! Im going through them later, and Ill send new requests out to people who might have deleted their request while I was unable to add them back.

    StreetPass is just luck unless you go to an event or something. After three unsuccessful mall trips, I finally got my first hit today, which gave me a Mii for StreetPlaza and a SFIV fight.

    Best part was that the SFIV fight had all the opponent's figurines set for the default ones (all Level 1) and since I had mine ranging for levels 2-6, I won all five matches. Got thousands of FP points for that. Thanks, mystery person!

    For SF figure matches do you just need to have the game currently in the system, or the game actually on but in sleep mode?

    Well, I had the game in the system but the 3DS was on sleep mode while on the main menu. I'm pretty sure there's no need for the game to even be on the 3DS for StreetPass to happen, though. Although you definitely need to load the game to see th results of the match.

    Wait so you are saying, as long as you own the game and have played it on your system once, you don't even need to have the cart in and your figure match will happen. But then next time you put the game into the system and turn it on you get the results?

    Yeah, that's pretty much how it works. StreetPass data is stored in the system like a Save file.

    EDIT: Just playing it once is not enough, though. At least on SSFIV you need to access certain options on the game to properly activate StreetPass.

    This has happened to my DSL in the past as well an excellent solution is to cut a piece of invisible tape and apply it once the original top layer is worn off. I had it like that for well over a year with 0 issues of peeling.

    StreetPass must be activated manually within Street Fighter for it to work (to actually do the SSFIV figure fights). You do this by going to Figure Collection on the main menu, then going to StreetPass and hitting Activate StreetPass (you'll need to make your team first).

    To check which games the 3DS is StreetPassing, you go to the Home menu, System Settings, Data Management, and then StreetPass Management. It will list the 12 titles using StreetPass here, so you can check and make sure the data is getting sent. The games listed here do not need to be in the system for it to work.

    Has anyone here bought a clear protective case for their 3DS? I'm interested in getting one if there are any available that are thin enough that the system can still fit in the charging cradle. There's quite a bit of wiggle room in the cradle so it might be possible, but I dunno.

    It'd even be nice if it were a tight fit, because it would make playing with the system in the cradle easier if it didn't wiggle.

    Regarding StreetPass and the pedometer: do these still work if you leave a DS game running in Sleep mode? I've been closing Pokemon Black every time I'm done in case it doesn't, but it'd be great to not have to. (I also heard something about it counting playtime even when the system is in sleep?)

    (Gotten 7 unique hits from StreetPass here in Singapore, but only when I travel downtown - managed to meet the same guy twice, but I suspect he works at the game store I go to.)

    After fooling around with Streetpass for a bit, the key to getting consistant hits seems to be to have one of the employees at the food court you eat at every day own a 3DS.

    It's worth a try, if you haven't done it already.

    Not exactly. There are going to be four types of downloadable titles when the eShop hits in late May:

    Virtual Console: Unaltered emulations of games from handhelds from before the Nintendo DS. Confirmed so far are GB, GBC, Game Gear and TurboGraphx-16.

    3D Classics: Classic games (NES, SNES and maybe others) with updated 3D graphics and probably some extra features. Check the Excitebike visualizer in the 3DS Sound Player to get an idea of this.

    So yeah, you will get to play NES and SNES games on the 3DS, just not through Virtual Console. We also shouldn't expect to get EVERY game in the Wii VC released as a 3D Classic, since these actually take a while to get made (as stated by Iwata himself).

    The other two types of games are DSiWare (exact same library from the DSi shop) and 3DSWare (brand new titles for the 3DS).

    Productive day!

    Going to the Cherry Blossom Festival was the right choice, got 30-40 streetpasses there. Then at the SF meetup, met 3 other people there, flagged down a guy who'd *just* bought a new 3DS and we showed him the ropes, then went into Gamestop and got some more tags and talked a lot with one of the guys. I even got a tag from a guy in Japan. I think he saw the group of us so stood around to get his streetpass.

    I'm now one of the Streetpass SF admins and we're planning some big thing in the next few months, hopefully around the same time the update and more games hits and Nintendo starts drumming up the ads.
