StreetPass: Difference between revisions

'''StreetPass''' ({{hover|すれ違い通信|Surechigai tsūshin}} ''Passer-by Communication'') is a multiplayer networking feature of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] console, and the inter-player equivalent of [[SpotPass]]. When a 3DS is closed and in sleep mode, StreetPass is active; it detects other 3DS consoles in sleep mode within a radius of approximately 30 metres<ref>Nintendo Tech Forums: [http://techforums.nintendo.com/thread/14814 What is the StreetPass radius for retrieving mii's and can StreetPass work car-to-car? Also, can someone explain SpotPass?]</ref>, and certain software titles activated to use StreetPass will exchange some player data between the two consoles; for example, ''[[nwiki:StreetPass Mii Plaza|StreetPass Mii Plaza]]'' uses StreetPass to swap the [[nwiki:Mii|Mii]] characters of 3DS users between consoles, and players can use collected Miis to play minigames.

[[File:Ss fe13 streetpass encounter.png|thumb|200px|right|Encountering the "Shibby Squad", a StreetPass team led by an [[Avatar (Awakening)|Avatar]] named Rob.]]

In {{FE13}}, StreetPass is employed in the game's multiplayer functionality. Players of ''Awakening'' can assemble squads of 10 of their units led by their [[Avatar (Awakening)|Avatar]], which are transmitted to other players through StreetPass. When ''Awakening'' data is received from other players through StreetPass, the transmitted Avatars appear on the [[world map]] as [[Unit|neutral units]]. If a player of ''Awakening'' gets a StreetPass hit from a 3DS console which does not have ''Awakening'' StreetPass data (either from not having the game or not enabling StreetPass on it), then the game will automatically generate a random StreetPass team based on this StreetPass hit.

* [[Merchant (shop)|Buy items from the Avatar]], excluding certain restricted items. The player will be able to buy one of each allowed item in the team's inventories, with any [[forge|forged items]] retaining their forged stats and name.

When assembling a StreetPass team, in addition to preparing the team itself, the player can also set up and modify a profile card accompanying their StreetPass team. These cards are viewed in the Avatar Logbook, if a StreetPass bonus unit is saved there. The card allows seven fields to be defined:

*'''Home:''' Select a location of origin to be displayed. The options consist of both a wide selection of real countries and an array of {{FES}} locations from across the entire series.

*'''Identity:''' Select something to "tell others what you really are". The options include actual real-life professions, titles from the ''Fire Emblem'' series, and joke options such as Total Loser, God, Babe, Hunk and Space Alien.

*'''Values:''' Select something which you value most. The options include a number of facets relevant to real life, as well as numerous stats from ''Awakening'' itself.

*'''Difficulty:''' Select whether or not you wish to share the difficulty mode to which the save file in question is set. If displayed, it also indicates whether the save file is on Classic or Casual Mode.

The following items cannot be purchased from StreetPass teams if the team possesses the item. However, units in the bonus team continue to possess these items when challenged to a skirmish and will wield the weapons as normal.

An ''Awakening''-themed puzzle for the Nintendo 3DS's ''[[nwiki:StreetPass Mii Plaza|StreetPass Mii Plaza]]'' has been released in Japan and the United States. After the April 2012 Nintendo Direct presentation, Japanese Nintendo 3DS consoles received the puzzle alongside a ''[[mariowiki:Mario Tennis Open|Mario Tennis Open]]'' puzzle; American consoles started receiving it approximately on January 30th, 2013, and European consoles on April 12th, 2013. In both countries, one initial piece is transmitted at random through SpotPass to Nintendo 3DS consoles, and the rest of the puzzle is collected through encountering other Nintendo 3DS owners through StreetPass and taking new pieces from them, or by purchasing new pieces at random through the player's accrued Nintendo 3DS Play Coins. The puzzle consists of 40 pieces, eight of which are special pink pieces which cannot be purchased with Play Coins, and depicts a brief animated loop of [[Chrom]]'s duel with [[Lucina|"Marth"]] [[Two Falchions|in the Arena Ferox]].

Despite 3DS consoles of different languages normally possessing compatibility with ''Mii Plaza'' puzzles, the ''Awakening'' puzzle was locked to Japanese consoles until January 2013; attempts to view the puzzle in an international 3DS console will informed the player that the puzzle is "not available yet" for non-Japanese players.<ref>Serenes Forest Forums: [http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=32117&st=0&p=1949885&hl=streetpass&fromsearch=1&#entry1949885 Fire Emblem Streetpass Puzzle]</ref> Presumably, American consoles can now freely exchange pieces of the ''Awakening'' puzzle with Japanese consoles, now that the puzzle has been internationally released.
