3DSFocus Twitter follower RichardR managed to get some good hands-on time with the Nintendo 3DS yesterday, and picked up a lot of juicy gossip, that he has kindly summarised for us. I'll be posting it over the next hour or two. To start, some brand new information about Street Pass Quest.

It begins with your Mii having a "dream" of sorts, where upon you wake up in  a cage, trapped in a tower. The way out? Use Miis you have collected via StreetPass, battling in a turn-based system against increasingly powerful enemies. If you haven't collected any Miis, for 2 Game Coins, you're able to buy a cat in armour to represent you. Rich used the cat, whose attack options were Sword and Magic.

There are approximately 16-32 stages/levels/battles (Rich didn't have a chance to count them all), and he guessed that it would take two or three battles with each enemy to match their power, and that up to 3 Miis would be able to fight at once. In the first two levels Rich managed to play, he fought against ghosts.

Each attempt to rescue your captured Mii from the tower is concluded with a re-cap of the enemies you have defeated, as well as the remaining health of the foes you have begun to battle, but not yet beaten.

Street Pass Quest is built in to the Nintendo 3DS.

Massive thanks to Rich for taking the time to provide the info, and he'd also like to shout out to the manager of GAME on the upper level of Lakeside, for letting him spend so much time with the 3DS. Follow Rich on Twitter @RichardR
