Overview
This is system title pre-installed on all 3DS units since launch. The application is centered around using StreetPass to "meet" other 3DS owners, by walking near them and exchanging Mii/user data (this is done automatically through StreetPass). When a 3DS has "met" another 3DS, StreetPass Mii Plaza recreates the meeting using the owner's Miis. From here the user, can use these Miis in mini-games.
Major Iterations
