Puzzle Swap is one of the most compelling reasons to take your 3DS out and about, but if you've completed all the puzzle panels — yes, even the ones in the November update — you'll be pleased to know Nintendo has just released a new puzzle via SpotPass.
3DS owners with their consoles connected to the internet will receive a SpotPass message informing them that puzzle pieces can now be received through SpotPass, with a new Kid Icarus: Uprising puzzle the first to enjoy this functionality.
Hopefully this will mean that those of you struggling to complete your puzzles through StreetPass will be able to see the joy of 3D puzzles with SpotPass.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Nice idea! I'll have to get on completing that one. :]
I found this when I got home home after my midnight birthday breakfast.
good to know that puzzle swap is still popular and on the go with updates every now and then
i didnt get the kid icarus one? i got a mario kart one though? is that new?
@SteamMistwalker
Nope, I think Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Rhythm Heaven Paradise, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Pilotwings are all from the second update.
I got Kid Icarus piece, but because there is literally noone with 3DS around my place, I have no hope in completing any of the new sets with purple pieces. Oh well, I probably can live with that...
I've got a couple of Kid Icarus pieces.
I got one through SpotPass and then another through StreetPass.
I could have got a few more too, but I elected to get pink pieces from other puzzles instead.
A good day with 14 StreetPasses, if it's like that every time I go to Uni then I'll have all the puzzles completed in no time.
i dont have a whole lot of these peices so i have to ask
are the pictures even in 3D?
I have 14 puzzles now! apparently there are 15 in total now. I wonder what the other one is...
I've completed all the standard puzzles. Nice with new ones.
@19Robb92
Thanks man, another question, can you get purple pieces using play coins? i know i got most of mine that way
I only had the Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario Land puzzles and i still haven't finished them,i got the Kid Icarus puzzle now and i already bought 5 pieces for it
@CanWizard
Yeah they are. Some are really cool too with some pop out and stuff. They're a bit interactive too, you can actually move the pictures in different angles. It's hard to explain, but they look flat until you actually acquire all the pieces, then when you look at it it'll be a fully 3D picture. You should look up some Youtube videos.
@SteamMistwalker
I get most of mine that way too. And I'm not 100% sure, but I think pink pieces are StreetPass only. I've never gotten a pink piece any other way.
lol saw you online playing with mii plaza.
I've only completed some of the original 15 piece puzzles. I can't get the other because of the stupid purple puzzle pieces.
Nice one! Also a great opportunity for Nintendo to promote new releases in this sympathetic way
This started no.13 for me (Im missing RHR and one other) but I'm just now completing my second puzzle lol.
I put all my coins into Find Mii 2...
Does anyone know what they mean by getting pieces by spotpass? I got my Kid Icarus piece, but will Nintendo continue to distribute pieces regularly, as if you were streetpassing with Nintendo itself, or maybe we could even be able to receive and send pieces to people on your friends list? Or is this more like a random event happening a few times a year so Nintendo can send out new puzzles?
Those purple ones.. how the heck are those ever obtained? I don't have any at all and if it's (only) Streetpass that's needed for this then I'll never be able to complete these since hardly anyone here takes their 3DS with them, and those who do barely do anything with their Mii plaza and whatever else... it's annoying as heck.
The pink pieces are Streetpass-only, unless you're lucky enough to grab one via Spotpass. I've found that I'm picking up the pink ones gradually, one every few StreetPass hits. The nature of sharing makes the rate of discovering them accelerative - when at first everyone only has 1 pink piece, they're really hard to find, but as everyone Streetpasses and slowly grows their own collection of them, they become steadily easier to find.
It's actually kind of a nice demonstration of Streetpass's spirit - everyone passively helping each other and in turn helping themselves. [/kum-ba-yah mode]
I've got all but the pink ones.
i dont know how anyone else would get the pink ones if you can only get them from street pass who has them to start then?
I just got the Kid Icarus piece. And have a lot of pink pieces but still need at least half more of them.
Your welcome James, thanks for mentioning us =)
I'm a little confused by how Spotpass works- so they will show up if you touch other folks playing a game together online like Mario Kart? I notice those people normally show up in your Plaza even though you can't use them for Find Mii or anything (at least not before). I'll have to try it out. I think MK is the only game I currently have that I can connect with other people online with. Though that means getting my butt kicked more ^_^; Bah I'm rusty and unlocking characters in 150cc was ticking me off.
I think its really cool they're distributing new puzzles this way, I hope more will be coming later on! Its also kind of a cool way for them to promote new games (please let there be an Animal Crossing one!)
I had just finally collected all the special pink pieces I needed when I went to a convention the other weekend, though I hadn't finished those puzzles yet. Now I'm going to have to find more pink pieces!!
I was wondering, I noticed the message said puzzles plural unless I'm mis-remembering, will there be a few more that show up?
I've got 3 Kid Icarus pieces so far.
Only my Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D is finished of the second set of puzzles.
But how do you get a purple piece in the first place?
@yuuds You have a chance to get them as your starting piece
Actually, to get a purple piece you can only get them by doing streetpass with another person who has a purple piece.
This is my progress so far on this puzzle, it is so hard finding people with puzzle pieces.
