So in this new StreetPass game, you’re a Day Trader on Wall Street and your StreetPass tags are advisors.  The more advisors you have, the more accurate their predictions for the day will be.  When you’re ready, you’ll go to a graph screen where you can press a button to buy stocks, and one to sell stocks.  When the graph line dips low, you’ll want to buy, and when it rises high, you’ll want to sell.  You’ll want to end your day with more money than you started with.  Yeah it’s about as fun as it sounds.

Your goal is to reach 10 million dollars, and right now I’m at 2 million.  You can also use your money to buy products from the business you buy stocks from, and then you can display them or sell them later.  Supposedly it’ll help you with stocks if you buy them, but I don’t know.  Personally I don’t understand much about the Stock Market, and I’ve always been baffled by games like and Wall Street Kid on the NES.  Who plays games like this?

The other problems I have are common in all the new StreetPass games.  I don’t know if they’ll hold my attention as long as some of the other ones did.  I unlocked everything in Find Mii and its sequel.  I played through the flower game and grew all the breeds (but I did stop when they challenged me to grow all the colors in all the breeds).  And I’m still enjoying the fishing game.  But I don’t think these new titles have staying power.  Also, I think they released these a little too late as well, because now that the Nintendo Switch is on its way and can be a portable game system, too, it makes me wonder how long of a life the 3DS has left?  Better enjoy it while I can, I guess.

Kid Factor:

The StreetPass games are rated E to E-10.  Nothing violent in the stock market game, just graphs and stuff mostly, but reading skill is needed for the text.
