Street Pass use?

[ACWarrior15]

Can someone explain to me what Street Pass is and how it affects online use?

 

[Superpenguin]

you turn your 3DS into sleep mode, pass someone else you get data from them.

 

[ACWarrior15]

I dont geT it? Pass them in real life?

 

[Superpenguin]

Yes, spot pass uses the Internet which is wifi

It's pretty much you turn on your 3DS and put it in sleep mode and then into your bag/pocket. Then if you pass someone else (through walking) you'll get their data through streetpass.
I dont street pass effects online.

Could i still obtain someones friend code and visit them over wifi from far away like in acww?

 

[ACWarrior15]

Oh and if i never pass someone then that means the model homes feature is pointless?

some people put their FC's in their streetpass so it is possible

yes,

 

[ACWarrior15]

How close is the Street Pass range? Like feet? Miles?

 

[Brad]

Between 30 to 100 feet. Not 100%. Just googled it.

 

[ACWarrior15]

One more thing then i'm done. I wont have any model homes to look at? I find StreetPass pointless unless you are friends with someone but im not going to walk up and down a street trying to get data when i highly doubt ppl have one and its on streetpass.

So you could also do it by car maybe?

 

[JasonBurrows]

Sometimes it takes a while for the streetpass green light to come on.
I have tested this as my cousin has a Nintendo 3DS and it took 10-15 minutes to pass over once.

yes, probablly

 

[Superpenguin]

No the street pass homes might work with spot pass. When I played Mario kart everyone I versed who had Mario 3d land got info in the game when it was really just for street pass.

 

[RisingSun]

I generally streetpass with my son only a couple of times a day, and there have been a time or two that we have both had our 3DS's with us and only one of us has streetpassed someone else. It is not an exact science.

 

[tsukune_713]

hopefully there isnt much that relies on street pass
ive had my 3ds since release and ive never street passed anybody >.<

 

[Riceicle]

Just take it with you to malls and such where there's a lot of people (maybe if you want to be doubley sure pass a few game shops) and on average you'll get like 2-3 Streetpasses

It most likely will work with spotpass as you race with people on Mario Kart 7, if you have that game, that works for me in place of streetpass on a variety of games.
