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.
