StreetPass Chef (3DS): COMPLETED!

Posted on 11/10/2016 Written by deKay

The longest of the new batch of StreetPass games, and the one most based on luck, StreetPass Chef becomes the last one for me to complete.

Like most of the other titles in the range, it’s pretty simple. Every colour of StreetPass visitor brings a different ingredient, and you cook meals to order using those ingredients. Initially, you’ve no recipe to work from, so your real-life cooking knowledge (or guesswork) comes into play. The closer to the ideal combination you cook, the more strength your diners are given as they set off to rescue the royal family from the evil monsters.

That’s right – it’s the StreetPass Quest game, only from the point of view of a local cook. I can continue to play and find the remaining dishes for my recipe list if I want, but I’m not sure I’m that bothered. Maybe another time.

StreetPass Ninja (3DS): COMPLETED!

Posted on 21/09/2016 Written by deKay

Perhaps the weakest of the five new StreetPass games, and certainly the most preposterous. The plot in-game is some nonsense about defeating warlords by being naked, shot out of a cannon, and grabbing kites flown by your StreetPass chums en-route to landing on the baddies’ faces.

No, really.

The game comes from lining the kites up so they match your trajectory, and the more you collect (and how accurately you do so), the more powerful your attack and defence are once you hit. Different levels mix things up by adding things like wind or clouds which make lining up the kites harder, but it remains very easy to progress and ultimately win. Like I did.

Completing it unlocks Hard Mode, which I don’t think I’m going to bother with. The other games so far have made me want to keep playing past the credits, but not StreetPass Ninja.

StreetPass Explorers (3DS): COMPLETED!

Posted on 19/09/2016 Written by deKay

See, I said I thought I’d nearly completed another one, and verily it came to (street) pass that I did. StreetPass Explorers uses the distance your collected chums have walked, rather than their favourite colours, to determine how far you can explore a map.

Dotted around the map are bags with items in, wild animals who want to eat you, rocks to break through, snowballs to jump over and magic treasure to collect and piece together. It’s pretty good, although maddeningly frustrating when you run out of steps just before reaching your goal and on your next turn, complete with a full compliment of 10 explorer helpers, travel three pixels and waste all their steps. As happened lots of times to me.

Like the other new StreetPass games, play is swift and the game overall isn’t too long. There’s also more to do, again like the other titles, once it’s complete.

StreetPass Slot Racer (3DS): COMPLETED!

Posted on 16/09/2016 Written by deKay

That’s two of five down already! These new StreetPass games seem quite a bit shorter than the previous ones, so far anyway.

StreetPass Slot Racer is basically Scalextric. You play by holding down A to go, and letting go of A to slow down – and you need to time doing this on corners and jumps correctly in order to get the best speed boosts. There are a fair few courses to work up through as you rank up, and the final “boss” is a head to head race with Iceman, the world champion slot car race driver.

This final race was actually really easy, but unlocking him was hard as one of the challenges before him needs you to finish in under 46 seconds. THREE TIMES I managed 46.07. So frustrating!

There’s more to do now though, and some new ranks have opened up, so like Trader I’ll keep playing. It’s looking like the next one to be completed might be Explorers, so watch this space.

StreetPass Trader (3DS): COMPLETED!

Posted on 15/09/2016 Written by deKay

I have been playing other stuff as well as No Man’s Sky, you know. Including all five new StreetPass games, and the best one, Trader, I completed today.

It’s pretty simple: You buy stocks when the market is low, and sell when the prices are high. People you have StreetPassed help predict the trends, and different companies have different stock prices. The more times you trade in a certain company, the more expensive their shares become, and so the more you can profit (or lose!). That’s pretty much all there is to it.

It might be the simplest of all the StreetPass titles, but it’s the one out of the new batch of them I’m finding most fun, even though it is the most boring on paper.

Anyway, I’ve completed it by making 100 Million G, but there’s a further goal of 10 Billion G (I’m assuming US Billion otherwise it’ll take forever) which I’m aiming for next.
