Weird Streetpass Thing

So I got a streetpass today and opened my 3DS to check it out. The problem is I got the notifications for Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land, but not for the Streetpass Mii Plaza. This doesn't make sense to me, if someone has streetpass activated don't they have to have streetpass on Streetpass Mii Plaza activated?

This is correct; one must have both activated.

 

However, the system chooses whether to receive either the Mii for the Mii Plaza or the tag for the game.  For example, if someone has MK7 in their system and Streetpass is activated for that title, you will get the tag for MK7, but not for the Mii Plaza.  If they do not have a game set to broadcast tags, then you will get a normal tag for the Mii Plaza.

Re: Weird Streetpass Thing

I too am a member of a Streetpass group (Streetpass NYC).  What happens to me is more randomized than what I said in my above post.  I usually get more game tags than Mii Plaza tags.  Yesterday I got 3 tags for MK7, 1 tag for SM3DL, and 2 tags for Resident Evil: Revelations, but only one tag for the Mii Plaza.  Sometimes I will get the same Mii for SM3DL and Mii Plaza, but it is almost always turns out that I get separate tags.

So how could they have succeeded in tagging me with Mk7 and SM3DL without tagging me with streetpass mii plaza?

This is actually something I have wondered about often.  The system must be choosing between the Mii Plaza and the game somehow, if only randomly.  I will ask around and see what others think about this and then repost.

Re: Weird Streetpass Thing
If this is the case for you, then are most people in New York deactivating streetpass mii plaza for some reason?

No, they still have it activated.  That's what makes it so odd.

Re: Weird Streetpass Thing

Today, I asked some of my Streetpass friends and two of them said that they had never gotten a tag for a game without the Mii also going to the Mii Plaza.  One, however, did say that this had happened to him once with Resident Evil: Revelations, but it has not happened to him any more than that.  Today, I got 7 tags for MK7, 1 for RE:R, 1 for SM3DL, but only 7 Miis for the Mii Plaza.
