Caveat: Not in North America yet and the games cost money

The 6.0 firmware update for Japan an Europe has updated the Mii Plaza. In addition to a new look, there are 4 purchasable minigames. They each cost 5000 円/€4.49/£4.49, or 1500 円/£13.49/€14.99 for all 4. The games can rewards hats, clothing, and other items. Also, tickets, but I'm unclear on what those do.

• Streetpass Battle - A feudal japan mass battle game
• Streetpass Garden - You raise plants
• Streetpass Mansion - Explore a haunted mansion, it look not unlike the existing Find Mii.
• Streetpass Squad - A side scrolling space shooter

The new hats do not work on unupdated systems. So if you wear one while streetpassing with a US 3DS, that person will see you hatless (the ultimate shame).

Also, some new puzzles.

Probably of very little use, but the update now allows the "times met" counter to go over 99.

If I can figure out how to buy from the Japanese e Shop, I'll provide more details.

That's kinda unfortunate that they cost money. I guess you're not exchanging anything like in Puzzle Swap? Because if you were, it would be hard to trade anything because I imagine adoption rates of this DLC are going to be pretty low. Are the games all basically like Find Mii, where the Miis just fuel your progress?

sa-weet I'm really psyched. Probably put more time in those mini-games then most actual games on the 3ds.

It looks like your progress in the new games is fueled by Miis. Probably play coins too, but now those coins are being split 6 ways, not 2. I could be totally wrong, and they might have significant progress without it (but I doubt it). At least this is coming around the time Nintendo implements Streetpass hotspots. So people who don't go to conventions can get some.

Awww, pay DLC? that's a bummer, can't imagine there will be a huge amount of sales over here. I'll still get it though, sounds fun.

@youngfrey: I still wonder how effective those hotspots are going to be. Have they how exactly those are going to work and where they will be?

I think it'll be as effective as Nintendo feels like making it. Given US sales of over 2 million 3DSes, any percentage of them going to a hotspot will yield a solid pool. If 1 in a 1000 owners is dedicated enough to hit 1 every day, that is 200 people. So it's really just up to Nintendo to decided which hits to feed to which people and when.

If I didn't have 2 3DSes or go to PAX, there is no way I'd get these DLC. But as it is, my regular Level 7 Mii visits keeps earning me fancy hats and I have a big crowd to show my dope finery off to every year.
