International StreetPass Week Details Confirmed for North America

YES. I go to a Starbucks (I'm in Seattle) every day for lunch to do homework and... Um.... Get streetpasses.... Or is it I go for streetpasses and do my homework...?

@TerrapinJess I used to. Then all the Starbucks in the area switched to Google. Boooooooooo.

looks like a $1 burger and some street pass hits are in my future.

I plan to pick some up. My micro SD card died so I need to get all my street pass puzzles filled in again.

@Kroisos Really? I guess that explains why I don't get any streetpasses at the Starbucks next to my job anymore. Been that way for a month now.

@TerrapinJess My son got in trouble last night for doing his streetpasses instead of his homework!

Ol' Goldpants himself eh?

@ultraraichu

Yeah, some people have filled me in on this as well. I don't get Streetpasses anymore at Starbucks, and I assume that Google is the reason. It kind of stinks because the only other place I can get them is McDonald's and I have a personal vendetta against them. So these Streetpass events are all well and good, but it means nothing to me personally now that Starbucks is out.

I can't wait for this weekend! They did this for a week around the holidays and we took advantage of it. The only thing that sucks is if you're trying to get through Find Mii because every zone will give you 6 new streetpasses so all of your heroes will be level 1. I actually might download the other plaza games now???

@MoonKnight7 Have you tried Burger King? My local BKs have the zones but we don't get as many hits as when we go to the golden arches. We also get them at Ruby Tuesday.

@dkxcalibur

If I am to be completely honest with you, I don't really go for fast food often. It's because of political/personal reasons, but I appreciate the input though. I had not known Burger King had AT&T.

As far as Ruby Tuesday is concerned, that is a more likely outcome for me, but again, I do not visit often. My wife and I usually stay home to cook.

@MoonKnight7
Best buy and home depots also give street passes, and they give a lot of them! No need to wait 8 hours for another 6, you can easily get 18 or so in 10 minutes per visit

@Captain_Gonru I did have the same problem but I had luck with a fix I found online. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/625899-streetpass-mii-plaza/67637205

Supposedly, at&t stores have relay points, you can also make your own relay points at home

@outburst That's awesome. Where'd you find that?

@Captain_Gonru

Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that. Are you referencing getting a new 3DS and doing the transfer? If so, that is by far the scariest thing that is keeping me from upgrading. It just seems like a nightmare.

In reference to Streepass locations. That is a fair comment to make, but I do not like doing that. I come from an old school of thought, that if I walk into a place, I should at least intend to buy something. Again, it's no one's fault but my own, because it's my own personal beliefs.

@MoonKnight7 That's awesome, good choices. I don't eat out a lot as well. I was just letting you know that you could, if you chose to, walk into a BK, turn around and leave, and collect streetpasses if you wanted to. Our Ruby Tuesday will sometimes allow us to connect without going in.

• I just saw your post. Sorry.

@khaosklub

Yeah, I've tried my local Best Buy before, but alas, it didn't work. When it appeared nothing happened, I asked an employee about it, but he just looked at me like a deer in the headlights. Not that I was expecting him to know, but I just thought I'd ask on the off chance he knew something about it.

Home Depot is one I've never heard of before, so thanks for that update. If I go there for any reason, I'll test it out.

@dkxcalibur

Haha, no worries friend. I appreciate the thoughtfulness.

@MoonKnight7
That's odd, never been to a best buy without a relay point. I have had occasions where it didn't work at ones I know it works at. If I go too early, I don't get any, and sometimes when other street pass games are full, I don't get sny, or it taes a while.

Try walking the whole store and lookingnat all their neat gadgets?

Starbucks uses Verizon now, not AT&T.
That is why StreetPass Relay no longer works at Starbucks.

@NintendoFan64
On a random comment in one of IGN's Nintendo article.

@MoonKnight7 That is a bummer. Around the area I work (and commute to) there is like a Starbuck what seems like every 0-3 blocks from one another.
Ironically I live a 5 minute walk from both McDonald's and Burger King but I hardy go there, atmosphere is partially to blame.

@No-longer-postin
There are still some starbucks that still have attwifi

I lost my original Reggie Mii for some reason, but I didn't care for it anyway. I was upset when I lost my Honest Abe (Lincoln) Mii though, cuz that one was actually cool! I decided to try that exploit that I read about on here, but didn't realize he wasn't being sent out anymore!

Barnes and nobles is also a hot spot with attwifi

ATT and McD's are the two likeliest places for me. Guess I have a sudden urge to hit up the value menu

Ugh...I'm pesketarian (I eat fish, but not meat), so I can't go to McDonald's, BK, etc. and no one in my family trusts best buy after an incident involving Geek Squad and my mom's laptop. I guess no streetpasses for me. Oh, and I can't make a home relay, because that needs an open network, and my dad is a security nut.

Well I'm not getting any gold pants miis via homepass >

@NewLeafAddict
they have fish at fast food places I think... also non-mean products. you can grab some fries, no? or even just a shake or something.

also...home depot works.

@NewLeafAddict fish is meat.... You mean you don't eat land animal meat, ya?

I got some hits this morning. It still bothers me that Nintendo does not have a map for Mexico, South America, or the Caribbean countries. I have Mexico, Brazil, & Jamaica and all three lack maps!

@NewLeafAddict No one said you have to buy anything from Best Buy.

@khaosklub "Non-mean products" Yeah, the Happy Meal!

@shaneoh Mine came over Spotpass on all three systems.

@dkxcalibur
Yeah, but I'm using homepass, it doesn't seem to work

@khaosklub
I just don't like fast food in general...it makes me sick.
Wait...it works at home depot? We have one right nearby!
>goes there<
woohoo!
Oh, and a quick tip...
If you got Reggie, DO NOT update the plaza until you use him. I updated it, only to find he was marked as already used under puzzle swap and find mii.

@Zach777
Yes, correct.
But there is a difference between seafood and meat.
They are two different kinds of food.

@NewLeafAddict
lucky, my reggie just vanished! Got all the puzzle pieces though, just wanted to see what he gave for the new games... why would nintendo send him out before the plaza update was available?

@khaosklub
No idea...
Maybe their official streetpass gift sender clicked the button to early?
LOL
