The other day i was playing Puzzle Swap and finished the recent Paper Jam puzzle using the first two of my streetpasses. All of a sudden the game tells me that it is finished and I see a gold medal on the Puzzle Swap icon. I guess this means no more new puzzles. I hope that Nintendo will properly notify us if they ever decide to bring back Puzzle Swap in the future. Fortunately even though I put Puzzle Swap into the Game Vault, the slide show icon remains so I can look at my finished puzzles whenever I want.
A few months ago I also finished Find Mii and Find Mii 2, so I purchased Ultimate Angler and Battleground Z I know that it is going to take a while for me to finish these two games, especially Battleground Z. Has anyone else actually finished these two games already? Did you enjoy them?

I don't believe Puzzle Swap is finished with - it just means you've completed all of the available puzzles out at the moment. Nintendo releases some every so often when they release new games (or at least that's what I think they've been doing!) so I wouldn't worry about it being finished just yet!
As for Ultimate Angler and Battleground Z (boringly called Streetpass Fishing and Streetpass Zombies over here in England, I think ) I haven't completed them yet, but I find them really enjoyable. Even the gardening game is good in my opinion (I purchased all of the add-on Streetpass games as I use it a lot).
My BEST recommendation though is Streetpass Squad - not sure what you call it where you are but it's a really fun, strategic game and I love it! Best played when you have a full Streetpass plaza though as then you have a full artillery to fight space pirates with.

I also don't think that Puzzle Swap is finished. I've seen the gold medal on the Puzzle Swap icon a couple of times. Nintendo often releases puzzles when new games come out. With Twilight Princess HD having just released, Hyrule Warriors: Legends releasing in a week and a half, and Star Fox Zero releasing next month, I imagine that at least one of these games will get a puzzle in Puzzle Swap. Paper Mario Color Splash and Zelda U could get puzzles later on in the year as well.

Probably a game from the Zelda series
I feel like the play coins feature for Puzzle Swap is a bit of a con since you can end up getting pieces you've already found. I wish you'd always get a new one.

I just wish it would lock you out from getting a duplicate more than once per cycle. So like, say it's a four panel. You have one piece. You use coins to get a new piece, and it's a duplicate of that one piece. But now that you've had a duplicate of all the pieces you own (the one in this case), the next piece is guaranteed to be new. If you spend coins and get those two as your next pieces, you're guaranteed to get a new one, and so on. That way you don't just finish puzzles in five minutes with a new piece on every redemption, but you are slowly increasing your odds every time you get a repeat.
That or go the Smash Bros. Melee Trophy Lottery route. Spend more Play Coins to increase your odds of a new piece!

Like, a lot of stuff, but also nothing because indecisive
I suppose it depends though. If people used their playcoins EXCLUSIVELY for Puzzle Swap, you could only get a max of five new pieces a day (if you earned the full 10 coins per day). However, if you used your coins on the other Streetpass games, and in AC:NL and other games like it, you wouldn't exactly have the coins to use on getting all the puzzle pieces really fast. So, equally, it'd probably work as just getting a new one every time you use play coins. I like your idea, though.

Thanks for the responses. Ironically a day after I posted this I get a notification that a new puzzle is available! It's good to know that Puzzle Swap will continue. I do hope they will put out multiple puzzles at once, though, because it's not as much fun if we are using up our streetpasses on just one puzzle at a time.

Streetpass around where I live is pretty bad, even went into EB Games and didn't even streetpass the DS's they have on display. I really want to get another streetpass game but it's pretty much pointless for me.
I was in Japan last month though, and the streetpass there was amazing. Would walk for 10 minutes to the train station and I'd already have around 8. Stopping over at Tokyo station and walking to another platform got me 10. Same with going to any major places, like Harajuku or Disneyland.
