Reminder: New StreetPass DLC Games Offer a 'Thank You Pack' Discount if You Own Original Extras

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wonder if we get it for usa to?

I'm getting the two new games regardless, but a dollar or so off would be welcome. I may even put it into a new theme.

I will (street) pass, thank you very much.

It's trivial as its only meer pennies in the end but it's still nice to see. Either way i can't wait to dl them!

Ok so maybe not just pennies. Maybe a whole dollar would be nice.

Love these little streetpass games. Will definitely be picking them up tonight.
Now hopefully a few more people will be wandering around with their DSs on so I can get closer to 10 hits a day.
Need to figure out what travel times get me the most hits on the tube. Had a couple of late days with fewer visitors recently.

@Spoony_Tech
More than 10% off is pretty nice no matter how you slice it

Almost an extra quid saving is nice, will wait and read reviews before I pounce though.

I was gonna get them anyway but it was nice to get the extra discount

No USA/NA?
What a not-so freaking suprize...
-__-

I'm not intetested in the new DLC. Can someone recommend one between Squad or Battle?

Will be picking these up when I've got some cash.

Hope that works here in NA. I've got all of them.

Anyone else REALLY wish streetpass games could hold more people? The limit of 50 people in Fire Emblem isn't too bad, but it takes me weeks to sort through 20 Animal Crossing passes- and I got about 1,500 last week. In November, I get about 10,000 street passes-

and my game lets me save 10 that I need to try and use up before it will take anymore.
I can't imagine they take up that much storage!

Would make me feel less bad about buying the VIP room if true for NA.

@outburst squad is more "gamey" in a classic R-Type style

That is a nice bonus since I already have the 4 past streetpass games (should of have a thank you "very much" pack for that ) and I was going the buy the new ones regardless. Fingers crossed for NA.

I'm guessing this doesn't include the VIP thing? At that.. for those who have already purchased it, what exactly does the VIP thing do anyway? You can put Miis in a special VIP room, you can keep track of birthdays, and.. what?

@Yosher Apparently you get the birthday tracker, which gives you plaza tickets, can save 100 VIPs (including special miis), allows you to shorten the greeting segment when you get new street passes, and you can change the background music and play it during sleep mode.

I'll wait for reviews. I finally bought those 4 extra games few months ago and they turned out to be good. I love collecting all the hats and might end up getting these new games just to be able to get all the hats even if the games end up being bad.

This is now live in NA for those who were interested. It also appears that the old games are receiving an update, but not sure what it is.

@russellohh Oh yes, that (especially Super Mario 3d Land & its 3 pass limit) and to have at least more than 12 StreetPass titles working at one time on a system, the very least the New 3ds /XL ones. So many tough calls replacing one game with StreetPass for another when the spot is full.

NA (US specifically for me) gets the Thank-You Bundle as well, at $6.99.

Got 'Thank You-pack' in Norway after all...

It looks like new hats have been added and there are also text balloons to use tickets on as well. And the old games have some sort of medal on them.

@russellohh I wish in the worst way they would allow a queue larger than 10 at a time... Imagine those gaming events (PAX, E3, etc.) where street passing is probably at its best. I can imagine you'd be glued to your screen for hours trying to get the most bang for your buck with all those passes... Maybe in the future they'll allow it; I hope so at least.

And otherwise, I own all the originals so I'm really hoping we get this discount too. To be honest despite the differences in releases and stuff between EU and NA, I'd be surprised if they didn't offer this to NA too... Here's to hoping!

@Barely_Able That's it, huh? This seems really odd with a selling point of around 5 bucks. I'll save my money for other things! Thanks for the info.

@Webby-sama SWEET! Thanks for the update!

I'll pick em up, pretty much completed the first 4 extra ones they released, so why not

@Webby-sama
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CONFIRMATION!

@Yosher Yeah, it really should be a free update. I'm not sure there is any value other than for people that may get tons of street passes to the point where their old ones are removed (and even that isn't worth it because by this point, those people would have collected all of the hats and completed the games).

@No-longer-postin When you do the conversion rates, ALL games are cheaper in america anyway. Not much to whine about now, huh?

@Scary_Old_Lady
Doesn't matter. We don't think about conversion rates here.
All we see is that the UK gets al these Free Game Promos, Free Theme Promos and Discounts on games all the time, while here in the US/NA, we never get anything like that.

Everyone in the UK would take earlier release-dates and cheaper prices you guys get. You don't know how lucky you are.

Yeah, never do updates until you've cleared your StreetPass. It's annoying when you open your console and an update notification pops up, but you've got SP hits waiting. They can store hits for software until you play them, why can't they store the plaza hits even if you turn the console off?

@Barely_Able Yeah, no kidding. Nintendo's been doing so well with DLC and its pricing, too, and then this comes around. Really strange. But oh well, maybe it'll go on sale sometime and only be a single dollar/euro/pound/whatever. That's not too bad of a price for it.

I got the 2 new games, but I didn't go for the VIP thing. It's a bummer, because you get plaza tickets for filling in birthdays... So if you want all the hats (or the new speech bubbles), you need the new games AND the VIP DLC.

Also, StreetPass seems to have dried up for me (in the UK), it was always tough for me because I live in a small city, but even the street pass relay points don't seem to work anymore, and when they do I only get one hit.

Time to look into HomePass...

In Canada the Thank You pack is $8-something CAN and I own all of the other Streetpass games. I don't even know what the regular price was

That's pretty nice(with the confirmation above) since I do have all the other original games. I'll probably get these sometime this weekend, if not sooner, but I'm definitely getting them. ^_^

@Scary_Old_Lady That was almost always true in the past, with the US getting earlier release dates, but I have seen quite a few the other way around lately. For example, some of the DLC for Hyrule Warriors came out 2 weeks earlier in Europe. When games are released even later than that in Europe, it's often because they're adding the extra languages, but releasing something later in NA means it's something very minor. I think if there's an issue that'll delay either release by a couple weeks or less, they should just hold off on the other one too and release them both on the same day. Considering how long it takes to make a quality game, they should be able to manage enough patience for that.

My StreetPass hits disappeared too :c

Got the thank you pack in Sweden! 70 SEK. (7 euros) It's worth every penny

@TerrapinJess Not even things as large as PAX, either! Or, as industry-specific. The Washington DC cherry blossom festival, Otakon, Animemazement, even just local colleges all have thousands of 3DS owners walking around. A $19 bus ride through NYC got me thousands of hits- only 10 of which were from the actual Nintendo store.

Downloaded:
StreetPass Thank-You Pack - $6.99

• Angler seems like it will be much better than Flower Town, and I loved Flower Town!
  StreetPass VIP Room - $4.99
• I added all my Gold Pants Mii Characters to it.

Thanks for the heads up NL, nothing like discounts. And I'll be sure to "play" with my 9/10 hits I currently have before updating so I don't lose them.

Thank-You Pack = $9.23 CAD

Sounds good. Downloading!

Nice deal from Nintendo!

Battleground Z is pretty good.

I also got a Thank You Pack discount here in the US. Paid $6.99

6.99 € in France too
you have to buy one game to have the offer

@MeloMan
I had 3 hits, I updated and DIDN'T lose my hits!
I think they fixed that this time!

@cat29242
Same here in the US...
Rabbit" I see you have at least one of the previous games, so you get a Special Thank-You Discount!"

Just got the Thank You Pack discount for 56 NOK in Norway(40 NOK separately), owned all four of the previous games.

The Gardening streetpass game was a suprise hit for me with it easily being my favourite despite me getting it just because I wanted the other three anyway... love the two new games, but I can see myself spending a lot of time on the fishing game, although I hate fishing. I had the my aquarium game on the wii and im pleasantly suprised that the fishing game has a nice aquarium mode too. Definitely worth picking both up and getting the discount.

Now if only the nintendozones would work, maybe I could actually play the games.

The German rabbit had the discount too. ^^I looove the new games. I was already afraid Streetpass is over in Nintendo's eyes. Great to see they are keeping it going.

I'm in the U.S and got this offer after looking at one game and checking it again after leaving. Costs $6.99

I wasn't expecting to like the fishing game more than the zombie game but that's nintendo for you.

I dunno...as a PC gamer primarily I'm finding 5 dollars a bit hard to swallow for what appear to be cheaply-made minigames that can only be as enjoyable as your location allows. There are so many robust AAA PC games you can buy for $5 these days; in terms of zombie games you can pick up Left 4 Dead 2 or State of Decay often for that price. Comparing Battleground Z to those...well...

Yeeahhh...

@outburst The space shooter one, Squad, broke my shoulder buttons on my launch 3DS.
I enjoy Battle more, but the Mansion one I like best.

In germany i got also the extra discount for the 2 games 6.99€ instead of 7.99€

I like most of the streetpass games but I just don't get enough passes to make getting these worthwhile.

I wish they would work on some new AR games.

@TerrapinJess Yeah, it's kind of like that. My friends and I go to a local "everything Japan" convention every year, and your queue fills up almost instantly. You can stand in one spot outside and just constantly empty it out for a while. That's how we got the "100 StreetPass tags in one day" accomplishment (and numerous others), and it's where we fill up on pink puzzle pieces for the year.

@Asaki I definitely get how that could put some cold hard weight behind an achievement like that! I definitely think that even 15 or 20 at a time would be good though too.
I've actually never been to a big event like that where I'd need to keep clearing out my queue but I just imagine I wouldn't be too happy after about the 3rd run. I'd imagine just giving all attention to puzzle pieces only.
This new update will surely help with speed though - I got it yesterday and got to use it this morning and it's really cool. I'm digging the new speech bubbles and birthday tags! Very good idea, Nintendo!

@Barely_Able you also change greeting and speech bubbles as well . I see two for streetpass fishing and zombie streepass - Zombie speech bubble looked really cool!

@MadAdam81 @abe_hikura
Thanks! I will consider those when deciding.

@TerrapinJess Yeah, at first I tried playing Find Mii also (the other games weren't out until the next year), but quickly realized that level 1 heroes aren't going to get you very far, no matter how many you have, and I just focused on puzzle pieces. The next year I did the same, but if passes were slow (like when we were in an event room for a while), I'd go through some of the other games.

On a separate note, I really, really like the new game vault. Warrior's Way went in there immediately; I got 100% on that one and see no reason to beat it a third time.

It's me from the future. The year is 2022, the eShop is closing, and I'm picking up a few fun knick knack games before the service closes. Thanks for the advice on the bundle 2015 Nintendolife!
