Mii Plaza is receiving an update this year. Beyond that though, Mii-based software (like a possible sequel to Find Mii) is in development. This software will be arriving during this fiscal year, which ends on March 31st 2012, and also further software beyond that time frame. Here is the full quote from Iwata:

…we are developing several software titles to take advantage of them. We will not be able to offer you the full or all the specific possibilities of the Miis stored in StreetPass Mii Plaza within this fiscal year, but we can say that you will never let your 300 Miis stored in your Nintendo 3DS go to waste, as we are preparing for a number of software titles, which will feature such as a theme, to be launched in this and the next fiscal years.

I imagine we’ll receive further clarification at the end of September (or early October) when Nintendo holds their annual press conference.

    Took awhile, but not passing at least 1 person a day now at college.
    How active are your guy’s areas?
    I only got 23 people in my Mii plaza.

    1. i pass 4 people a day at college. I have 76 mii’s in my plaza. :)

    2. Santiago

      I have 110 people, and i live in puerto rico where the 3DS isn’t that big

    3. waitingfor3ds

      I have zero people in my plaza, yet i’ve completed my first puzzle and i’m on the last ghost thingy demon battle, sometimes i hate living in a small town

    4. FJ L JOKER

      santiago I ive in PR too & haven’t found anybody where in what area r u living

    5. Try to attend conventions? I managed to pick up a lot though I didn’t have time to keep clearing them lol.

    6. Lukem1999

      I live in Richmond, VA, USA and I get 3-5 miis a month. It’s not much, but it’s worth getting out there. Hopefully there will be more people after the price drop.

    7. Belinni

      I live on the east side of Puerto Rico, I’ve gotten 17 people. It’s amazing since the first 3 months I seemed to be the only person with a 3DS. Now I seem to be the only GUY with a 3DS…

  3. Bob

    Either my reading comprehension is bad, or yours is…

    “we are preparing for a number of software titles (…) to be launched in this and the next fiscal years.”

    “We will not be able to offer you the full or all the specific possibilities of the Miis (…) within this fiscal year”

    Where did it say that there won’t be any further Mii related titles released this fiscal year?

    1. David Turnbull

      Bah, I’m an idiot. I misread the original quote, so its my comprehension that sucks. I’ll rewrite the post.

    2. amir

      can i please have your friend code?
      mines is 1848-1759-6993

  4. RikuDawn

    You put March 2011. I’m sure you meant 2012.

  5. john smith

    I think you meant to write March 31st, 2012.

  6. Belinni

    I’ve got 5 Miis Nintendo, 5! I can only tip my hat to anyone with 300 unique Miis though.

    5 bucks say more than 20 people have a Ganondorf Mii!

    1. SuperTacoMaster

      well im 1, just need 4 more :p

  7. they should do something for the people who haven’t met anyone on streetpass.

  8. techni

    What I want is games contributing clothes/parts to our miis like an acheivement system

    1. waitingfor3ds

      what like the more miis you get the better and more clothes for your miis you get? if so I think its a good idea as long as you could buy clothes aswell maybe not the same clothes just so people who have no hope in getting miis via streetpass (like me :P ) could still get some clothes for their mii!

    2. “what like the more miis you get the better and more clothes for your miis you get?”

      No, accomplish things in-game to unlock items for your miis.

      ie: Beating Master’s Quest would get you the Master Sword

    3. waitingfor3ds

      oh right! totally misunderstood! that sounds REALLY AWESOME! i hope nintendo does that! :D

  9. Shatgan

    Next fiscal year? that freak’n sucks, they must think people live for ever.

    1. Kaizar

      Actually they said during this year 2011

      And also more stuff later after those new things by March 31st 2012.

      So we’re getting new StreetPass Mii Plaza stuff this year in 2011 & even more stuff on top of that by the beginning of 2012.

      So that’s 2 different years with 2 different stuff in 2011 & 2012.

      Plus even more new stuff later on during next year after March 31st 2012.

      So that’s several new things, in several different updates.

  10. Peter

    There’s that fiscal year nonsense again.
    Oh well.

    1. And they wonder why 3DS isnt selling

  11. kidtendo

    yay. I’ve always wanted to have more of a reason to have Miis :)

  12. Pichufreak

    I have 0 miis( besides mine) and i’ve been to a few places and passed a lot of people like wal-mart and a circus but i got no one and i’ve had mine since april.

    1. Kaizar

      Just wait till November.

  13. Jarrah

    I’ve got 1 person in my plaza (other than my mii)

    1. Kaizar

      Just wait till November or December.

  14. Nintendo-something

    I have like 5 mii’s. And I met someone with over 1000 mii’s…… Life’s unfair

    1. Kaizar

      Just wait till December or January.

  15. Enigmas3DS

    Yo santiago im from Puerto Rico too in what are you are cuz only i have 10

    1. Kaizar

      Santiago probably walks by a bunch of tourists.

      He probably lives within a certain distance of an airport

      So maybe if I travel to LAX, because I live Cali, I could break the 20 Miis barrier for myself.

  16. Rob

    March 31st is my bday, got a 3ds that day.

  17. Ljw1765

    I have 3 characters in my plaza:
    - Mine
    - One I got from the demo station at Target. (lol)
    - One I got from an ACTUAL person (Yay! ^_^))

    The surprising thing is, I live near a big city and pass a lot of people everyday, yet I still manage to have only 2 from streetpass… On top of that, 1 of the 2 is from a demo station! O.O

    1. Kaizar

      Just wait till January; which is after Christmas, which is after the Aug. 12 price drop.

    2. thatguyoverthere.

      that’s the same deal with me! o_O

  18. Noname

    I have 2 things to say:

    1: I only had tagged 2 Mii’s before I sent it into customer service so I think that Mii-based games should not make streetpass a necessity.

    2: “which ends on March 31st 2012″ That’s my birthday!
