New 3DS StreetPass Features Coming This Year

If, like us, you've managed to collect just about everything the 3DS Steetpass has to offer then we have some good news. Nitendo of Japan have been so impressed with the handhelds on-line activity that they are planning a host of new features to get even more gamers 'connected' in the great outdoors.

In an official statement Nintendo also says:

The Internet-connection ratio for the Nintendo 3DS has reached a level that no handheld gaming device has ever experienced. In Japan and the U.S. where the ratio is specifically high, the number of Nintendo 3DS units which have been connected to the network has surpassed 80 percent. I referred to "approximately 60 percent" in one of my presentations here last year, and that ratio has significantly increased in one year.

When it comes to StreetPass, users in the automobile-dominated U.S. do not use it as much as Japanese users do. In contrast, it has gradually become popular in the metropolitan areas of European countries. This year we plan to add some StreetPass-related features to the Nintendo 3DS in order to encourage more people to go out with their Nintendo 3DS, and make StreetPass and SpotPass more popular overseas.
