Wasn't sure where to put this but since it's also about the games I decided to post here.

What I'm wondering is if there's any known info if Street Pass works between regions. I thought I'd ask since there's been US and EU models in reviewers' hands (and some people already seem to have their preorders?)
What I'm worried about is how Street Pass finds other people's data for your games. If it compares internal names and games have different internal names in different regions (say a Japanese game's internal name is XXXXXXXJ and a US game's internal name is XXXXXXXU) that would be a problem.

So, anyone know anything? Don't want to run around with my US 3DS with Street Pass on wasting battery when there's noone to find for me in Germany.

Someone said before that it was verified by Iwata that streetpass is region free.
Meaning you can exchange information with japanese 3DS even though your 3DS is European.
You just have to be in range of one.

What I want to know is, can you streetpass with the same person more than once, and does their mii show up again for use in the rpg the second time you pass them?

yeah it just updates the time you passed them and any new info
when you look on your spot past list you have a new notification next to the Mii holding game (Id card list)
