During today's Nintendo Direct it has been confirmed that two new StreetPass Mii Plaza games are being released.
Ultimate Angler (StreetPass Fishing in Europe) is, as the title suggests, a fishing-based title. You'll find 150 fishes and monsters contained within. Battleground Z (StreetPass Zombies in Europe) on the other hand is an action game where you defend the town of Hobbyville from a zombie invasion using 26 different weapons.
In addition to these two new games, there will also be a StreetPass Mii Plaza Premium mode to download. Using this, you can add additional information relating to your Mii, such as the date of your birthday. You can also store up to 100 close friends in a special "VIP" room.
These three additional pieces of content will cost $4.99 a piece, although it will be possible to buy Ultimate Angler and Battleground Z as a double pack for the reduced cost of $7.99.

I'm gonna get the fishing game, just because the advisor girl is so friggin' adorable!
But I'm absolutely not seeing the value in this premium thing yet. Need more info, otherwise I'll have to pass on it.
I was expecting to be discounted of you brought the four streetpass games. But I'll buy everything regardless!
Definitely getting both games, but the premium Streetpass thing isn't clinging to me. I just see what's really special about it.
I'm psyched for these but am utterly clueless as to WHY you should get VIP
Since I've spent a lot of time on the extra mii plaza games we already have, I'll be getting both of the new ones.
I, too, don't get what the point of the VIP room/premium...what they said can't just be it ...
@123akis Which '4'?
"Using this, you can add additional information relating to your Mii, such as the date of your birthday. You can also store up to 100 close friends in a special "VIP" room."
I need to say this. Why on earth are they making something that should really be a free update into paid DLC? And how is this getting under the rug?
Maybe the VIP room prevents those people from ever getting deleted from your plaza? I know I've been wishing I could favourite miis so I don't have to worry about losing them. But I don't see why that should cost $5. That should be free if you buy the 2 games was what I was expecting the bundle to be.
I think the VIP room is just a place to store miis that you don't want deleted. Otherwise, after 3000 miis in the plaza, the oldest ones get kicked out and overwritten. Not sure I see the value at £4.49 or whatever it was. Maybe there is more. I hope so. Free if you buy the other two games in the bundle? Now if they could only disclose what the hidden achievements are... And it had better not be 100 000, 200 000.. Seriously who can bothered with that and what is the point? That can only be called an "accomplishment" for the anally-retentive OCD stricken.
Oh, and what you pay in the US in dollars is what we are charged in pounds, so even more expensive here. Not good value.
I am still confused on what V.I.P. or Premium gets you
The biggest problem I have with Mii Plaza as it stands is that due to the low pass limit and the fact that Miis leave when you quit even if you've got unplayed games, I feel like I have to commit a whole chunk of time to it everytime I load it up. More games aren't going to improve that situation! I may be tempted if the VIP lounge address those issues though.
A day before my b-day, nice. I'm not 100% on the Premium yet but I know I'm going to buy the other games. Wished they update the mii visitor's limit though.
Btw is it me or did that sword transform into a wii remote for a split second in Battleground Z?
I have all of the hats, so I'm looking forward to more!
Sure why not. Having homepass makes this worth a purchase.
I don't see the point in paying for that premium feature at all, but I'm so looking forward to starting some new Streetpass games.
I only just FINALLY got the 300 monarch battles achievement in Streetpass Battle, took friggin' forever. Still have to greet 50 or 100 monarchs though.
Like the rest if you, I don't understand the VIP thing at all. Who cares if you can fill in their birthday? I certainly hope there's more to it than that and storing them in a room.
I largely enjoy the previous street pass games, so I'll be downloading these new ones for sure.
I'll be grabbing the games on the deal. VIP needs more info first.
Sold! I may be in the minority, but I enjoy the streetpass feature very much.
The really need to explain VIP room better as it almost sounds like there was more to it from the Direct.
@iphys Just waste your time like I do militantly deleting Miis once I get near 1000...or spend $5 to save 100.
@Sakura The plaza is full at 3000 but 2000 of those are "met by invitation" so can't be used in the games. After 1000 the oldest are demoted to "met by invitation" the exception being special miis, they just get deleted completely. I know because I've lost most my old ones to this (LM2 Miyamoto, about half of E3 2013).
@Starwolf_UK Oh, I've been deleting so I won't lose my first streetpass tags and special miis, but it's so time consuming going back to find people to delete and having it bring you to the front of the plaza again after you delete each one. I actually don't take my 3DS out with me anymore for fear of tagging new people. Paying $5 feels like they're monopolizing on how cumbersome they've made their own plaza to manage, but it would be easier to pay the $5 than keep deleting, so I'd probably pay it if it solves the problem. I hope there are some other perks to VIP.
Yeah! Mii plaza updated! Like the new games and VIP room!
Apparently Nintendo didn't like me escaping for the Street Plaza. I managed to stop spending most of my time street passing and spending up to an hour playing each of Streetpass games, then this happens.
Oh... why does this new content look so good. Streetpass Fishing looks so relaxing, whilst Streetpass Zombies simply looks awesome! Curse you Nintendo, you're stealing all my spare time from me.
@Starwolf_UK I had no idea about any of that. I finished the old games with miis on bashed up consoles that I bought expressly for the mii plaza games so I guess I just kept streetpassing the same ones so they didn't get replaced. Nintendo don't do clarity, so I can't say I'm surprised they haven't explained any of this. Would be nice once in a while though, some clarity, that is.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Cool. I've completely destroyed every street pass game and I was hoping they'd do some new ones soon.
I still need to complete the rest of the streetpass games since I lost my previous save when I got a replacement 3DS. Though I will buy this eventually once I'm caught up with the streetpass games.
I'm interested in the fishing game. I didn't get the other streetpass games so I don't know how it will work. Is it like the tower and puzzle games where it's unplayable unless you streetpass someone or will streetpassing just make it easier to reel in difficult fish/get better bait?
I really need a nice relaxing fishing game for the 3ds that I can play anytime.
I wish they would of went into more detail and the premium mii-related idea. I don't know what all it includes. As for the new games, if I can play them and actually make good progress without having to rack up a bunch of street pass hits I'll enjoy them. (I'm looking at you Warrior's Way!) Still haven't beaten that game due to living in a rural area.
@Lalivero StreetPass Squad, StreetPass battle, StreetPass Mandion and StreetPass Garden.
im in for both games, both look fun!
Nintendo is really screwing over their customers. I've about had it with nintendo. Streetpass VIP??? Really?? That's absurd
So the one thing that needs more definition has been completely left out of that video let's face it, not many people (if any) are sold on the VIP software...
@kupocake They don't leave when you quit what are you on about?
The games I will buy because with Homepass they will be rather fun. Without Homepass, though, really frustrating. Surprised that hasn't been shut down in typical Nintendo Conservative style. Biggest problem for me with Nintendo is that they promise so much, deliver an astonishing amount while at the same time also leaving great gaping chasms of disappointment. The VIP room seems absurdly expensive for a teeny weeny upgrade that ought to be free anyway unless there's some kind of letterbox app attached. Even then, still ought to be free. I really don't think I'm going to be bothered about when a mii has a birthday, so the only thing of use so far announced is the ability to save useful miis so they don't get deleted. £4.49? Really? And when is that special mii out? NoE is so clueless re special miis that it wasn't even special in the Direct - had blue pants, not gold.
