Topic: You know what update would be really nice?

Now obviously there are several updates that we've all asked for, like a YouTube app, Miiverse, ect. But there is other that I've realized would be a nice addition that I don't think anyone has mentioned here.

Like the Wii U does, there needs to be a notification system on the 3DS that tells you when someone has added your friend code and thus alert you to add them back. It'd be a lot better then trying to check with each other via FC exchange forums.

I can agree with you B/C i really lose track on who wants to add me or not and my friend list is a mess

And it could also let you know from sleep mode by a non-flashing orange light too.

Heck, I forgot that wasn't the way it worked; ran into it recently when I tried to add three new Friends, as it's been a long time since I'd added anyone.

I think it'd be great if the StreetPass notification light could tell you if you've run into the Plaza limit (or better, any title's StreetPass limit) without opening the 3DS, by blinking the light when it's green. I've already had one instance where I find out after I get home that I've run into the ten-SP Plaza limit, and may never know how many other StreetPasses I could've picked up... -_-

there is a streetpass limit ?? i dont understand that

i support OPs idea

Actually I think this was changed. I've gotten more than 10 streetpasses in one sitting multiple times this past week.

As for the original comment, heck no. I can get along just fine without receiving a notification every five minutes

I agree with this to be honest. I've probably had a hell of a lot of people adding my friend code based on my signatures on forums and the like, yet I can never usually tell who unless they've also messaged me to state it.

I want my 3ds to make me hot cocoa. Just gimme mah dang Swiss Miss Nintendo!

My dream is for Nintendo to invent some Hardware Updates via Internet. Ah man, 3DHD Double Screen graphics with downloadable ZL, ZR, and a second circle pad would be the best. I'm sure that Nintendo will be the first one to do that.

I think that you can get more than ten, but only ten people can be let into your plaza at a time (if you look at notifications when you get streetpass, you can see how many people out of ten you got for plaza, other games have more, for example Kid Icarus has 50).

Oh, you used to be WingedFish...why did I not realize that?

Anyways, this would mean the world to me if Nintendo could do this. Then people won't have spam certain threads just to artifically inflate their friendlists so they can pretend they have friends will have a much easier time adding the people they care about.

I was referring to the StreetPass Plaza's limit of ten StreetPasses (before you have to open it and let everyone in). It seems a bit arbitrary, though (why can't they just store more, and limit you to only letting in ten at a time?). As long as you still have something that hasn't hit a StreetPass limit, though, the system itself won't turn down any StreetPasses. They just won't count toward the Plaza.

The Plaza will stop accepting StreetPasses at ten - but the moment you open the Plaza and let those ten enter, the system starts accepting another ten "visitors." So, in theory, if you're at something like a convention, by the time that tenth visitor from the first group enters the gate, you could already have another ten waiting to enter.

No, I had more than 10 enter the plaza. They just enter in groups of 10 now. I once got 14 in one sitting.

Lemme explain. I was sitting in a card tournament getting streetpass hits (cuz everyone had Pokemon with them). I played through the first batch of ten and got another batch even without going into sleep mode. If I remember correctly, Streetpass only works in sleep mode.

You can get some StreetPasses even if the 3DS isn't in sleep mode... I just don't know if things like the Plaza are the exception to the sleep mode "rule." But yes, as I mentioned, when you're letting the "first ten" through the gate, the system's already scanning for and picking up more StreetPass visitors. That's why you could find yourself swamped if you're in an area or event where you can potentially pick up a ton of StreetPasses.

Then the answer is simple. Let those ten in and let another group in.

Of course, the weird part is that when I got home another day, I picked up 11

Gee, this thread got kinda derailed now didn't it?
