With StreetPass™ Relay Points you can now receive player data from Nintendo Zone locations, even if that player is no longer there. When a 3DS user has Street Pass enabled, the Nintendo Zone location will temporarily store their StreetPass data, sending it out to the next StreetPasser that arrives at the location, assuming they have the same games. According to Nintendo, this will help to make it easier to receive content on StreetPass enabled games like Fire EmblemAwakening and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
The following stipulations apply:
You must have your 3DS updated to system version 6.2.0-xU or higher to take advantage of the StreetPass Relay Point service.
You will not receive any StreetPass data from the relay station if you are the first person to pass it with whatever game you currently have inserted or if the relay station currently has your StreetPass data.
Your wireless home network cannot be set up as a StreetPass Relay Point.
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
Yes, I like this a lot. I can't believe how many times I can go to a crowded mall or sporting event and get zero tags.
So the way they describe it, do you just get one tag per visit to a NZ, or does it save all the tags from a certain point and you get them in bulk?
It sounds like you get one tag – the most recent one. Kind of stinks, but for the retailer it makes sense. There is a Best Buy and Starbucks near me that are close to each other and both have NZ – they want me going to both stores, not just one. I'm ok with that.
It will help to get Puzzle Pieces which is Awesome, but does take the Random Nature out of it a Little bit if you know that if you can go to Starbucks and get a Hit, a Streetpass hit that is.
Yesterday I went to a number of stores where this is supposed to work… and I got nothing.
So either I was the first one, or this isn't working. Seems like a fail right now.
Could really do with a list of all compatible nintendo zones which have Streetpass Relay capabilities. I have been wandering around my local city centre and have got nothing. I know the map on the Nintendo web site lists Nintendo Zones but it doesn't show which have the relay ability.
