Will it be fakable though? Most Nintendo Zone stuff can be had from the comfort of home with the right router settings.
One wonders if you'll be able to manipulate this to allow continent separated street passes? I guess it depends on how the uploading works and how the Streetpass data is being stored and accessed in the interim.
I don't think that's how it works at all. Someone still needs to have streetpassed for the data to be saved to be loaded into the next 3DS.

Yeah but Nintendo Zones are just routers with a specific SSID. The data has to be stored somewhere in the interim so it must be being uploaded somewhere.

Are there any details on if you have to stop and log into the Nintendo Zone first, or would just walking by a Nintendo Zone area be sufficient?
Quite a while ago, the first Game Boy Mega Man title (Dr Wily's Revenge) landed on the 3DS VC. That naturally led most of us to wonder, "are the rest of the GB games coming to 3DS?" Welp, after a year of wondering that myself, I'm happy to say Mega Man II, III, IV and V are ALL coming soon.
This is a great piece of news, as Mega Man V remains one of the coolest oddball (used in the most affectionate way possible) games in the series. Instead of Robot Masters, Mega Man fights Stardroids, and instead of a typical Mega Buster charged shot, he has a Mega Arm projectile attack (similar to the MM6/7 Rush upgrade). It's a very clever entry that's been hard to legitimately play for years, so pick it up!
Mega Man IV is equally impressive, combining aspects of the NES Mega Man 4/5 to create one new experience. I daresay it's the best of the NES mimics (I, II and III also mix enemies and bosses from the NES) and well worth a look.
But wait, there's more!
Mega Man Xtreme 1 and 2 are ALSO coming to 3DS! Like the aforementioned GB titles, these two remix aspects of the SNES games (plus some X4 stuff in Xtreme 2) to create something new. Xtreme 2 is particularly interesting, with its playable Zero and DNA souls / parts system.
Now, we don't have release dates set just yet, but given how cool this information is (especially MMV), I thought it was worth sharing ASAP. I'll certainly share the dates as soon as we lock 'em down, and we should have even more VC updates in the coming weeks.

All of those kind of suck except V which is awesome. Unless it's not in color and then WTF Nintendo?
Actually, I would think you'd have to keep your 3DS closed to be able to streetpass with a Nintendo Zone because as soon as you open it, it will connect to it as Internet and disable streetpass.
Yeah but Nintendo Zones are just routers with a specific SSID. The data has to be stored somewhere in the interim so it must be being uploaded somewhere.
But that specific SSID is actually generic, like "Bestbuy." Are you saying you think all locations are wired together, so that I could connect to "McWIFI" in the midwest and then Joe Dude connects to "McWIFI" in California and gets my streetpass, and then Jim Bob connects in Texas and gets Joe Dude's streetpass?
That doesn't make sense to me. There must be something unique at each location that does the streetpassing on an individual basis.

Yeah, I don't think the internet has to be involved. I don't think it would even require an update to the 3DSes. Each NintendoZone just has to be updated to act like a 3DS streetpassing. I don't think there is much to be gained by spoofing it, even if it was possible. Since it only distributes Streetpasses of 3DS that have been near it, you wouldn't gain anything by changing your home network to immitate one. Like you can do with Animal Crossing for example.
Last year I bought Nyko's Powerpak, the little replacement battery that gives you more battery life. I used it for about 3 months, but then removed it because I liked using Nintendo's charging cradle.
Recently my girlfriend has been complaining about the short battery life on her 3DS, so I offered to give her the Nyko battery.
Do you folks think that it's still in working condition, or is spending six months in a cabinet without a charge ruined it in some way?

I don't think it'd do damage to the 3DS's battery. Try it out to see if it'll still hold a charge.

I may have typed that up confusingly...it's not an attachment to augment the 3DS' battery, it's a battery replacement.
What I'm wondering is whether or not being unused for 6 months has somehow ruined the charge it will accept.
Of course batteries that are in storage will gradually lose charge. I'd install it into the 3DS and do a full charge to completion before using the 3DS first. Six months is not dramatic for a li-ion battery.
Was it dead when you put it away, or fully charged? I think the recommended charge is something like 70-80% for a long period of storage, but 6 months shouldn't have done anything bad unless it was completely dead when you stored it.

I use the battery pack, it's one of the last things Nyko put out before their quality started taking a dive.
That aside though, these battery packs usually spend months sitting on store shelves as it is, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just connect it, give it a full charge and see how well it holds out. Worst case scenario you get another battery.

But (as far as I'm aware) the Zones are just a wireless router. It can't be 'updated' to act like a 3DS so unless Nintendo is going to roll new hardware out to every zone out there then it has to be via the internet.
And Sporky, that's exactly what I'm pondering. How will the system know what site you streetpassed from and hence where to send your data for the next user, and will that be spoofable? Maybe IP? I have no idea, I'm just thinking out loud.

So, 3D Sonic and a bunch of crap :P
Too bad they've only done the first one, but maybe they'll do the other Sonics too. I would buy 3D Sonic 2.

Yeah as others said it should work without any problems. I have the same battery pack and I used it for PAX East 2012, then when I got home I put the regular battery back on. After a year I used it again for PAX East 2013 without any issues and it still held its charge fine.

Interesting. Is it a card-based fighter or is that just a minigame?
It seems like it's just a mini-game, judging by how little it's mentioned. It looks more like an adventure-style game.
