Nintendo 3DS StreetPass Update Offers New Games
REDMOND, Wash.--(July 12, in the year of our Lord 2013)--
The StreetPass Mii Plaza application is expanding with a free
update that adds touch-screen controls, a new layout and four
new games available for purchase. Nintendo 3DS owners will also
receive new expressions and greeting options for their
StreetPass Mii characters with this free update, along with new
panels for Puzzle Swap.
Nintendo 3DS owners who connect wirelessly to the Internet will
also be able to buy new StreetPass games that they can play with
other Nintendo 3DS owners as they go about their day. The games
are now available for purchase from within the application at
$4.99 apiece, or $14.99 for all four. The games are:
Mii Force: Players use StreetPass Mii characters to blast their
way through enemies and keep the galaxy peaceful.
Flower Town: Players plant seeds in their virtual gardens. When
players StreetPass with other players, their plants are watered.
Cross-pollination can lead to new breeds.
Warrior’s Way: Players use StreetPass to recruit troops and
amass an army to unify a country.
Monster Manor: Players collect StreetPass Mii characters that
bring new pieces of floor. Players can then create rooms, fight
ghosts and unlock treasure chests in a climb to the top of the
mansion.
Players who complete various accomplishments in the games earn
tickets that they can redeem in the redesigned StreetPass Mii
Plaza to unlock dozens of new outfits or hats for their
StreetPass Mii characters. New outfit options include a
full-body Luigi Costume, a Yoshi’s Egg Hat, a Super Mushroom Hat
and a Super Star Hat. The selection of outfits and hats changes
every day, and the old hats are still available by playing Find
Mii.
Four new panels for Puzzle Swap will also be released at the
same time as the update. Each Nintendo 3DS user will receive one
random new panel and will have to interact with other Nintendo
3DS owners via StreetPass to receive the other three.
