Current Events > God, remember when you walked with your 3DS for playcoins and streetpasses?

(+) Yeah! (+)

That felt like so long ago >_> Were you guys ever obsessed with doing that for Find Mii or other games?

I wonder if you can even get a single streetpass anymore if you walk around in NYC all day?

i used to take my 3ds to work when i worked retail because i knew other employees did too, as well as customers.

---

I have a one-way hour commute to work, and I would bring my 3DS with me to play on my lunch breaks. It would always amuse me when Id get a Street Pass notification just from driving in bumper to bumper traffic with other 9-to-5ers.

---

I played my 3DS on the commute to work, and for a while I used to get streetpasses with the same people every week or so, but then it stopped :/

---

I never cared for that stuff, and was annoyed it was taking up data storage.

That being said, my girlfriend at the time told me to leave it on when I go to the airport, as I was doing frequently at the time. I'm not sure what the normal rate is, but I know whole puzzles would get completed all at once.

Streetpass was the best, it was fun to randomly find someone with a 3ds when youd go out to a store or something.

I miss portable consoles, the switch really isnt the same

---

I loooved Streetpass. One of the coolest features any Nintendo console has ever had.

My wife still took her 3DS with her everywhere in hopes of getting some streetpasses, til she got a Switch Lite a few months ago.

I miss that shit.

---

Uh, i would shake it for 15-30 mins.

I remember in college I streetpassed the same guy in a red shirt 6 times and I just needed 1 more to get a max lvl Red Mii in Find Mii 2, but then this motherfucker changed his shirt to white for some reason on the last streetpass and ruined the team up attack I had going with another red shirt Mii. I was so pissed lol

---

It was fun to collect them at a convention I went to once. Otherwise, I never really got many. I did set up that hack at home that you could connect to certain servers to get street passes though.

---

My fiance would make fun of me for collecting streetpasses but she'd do it too. Fuckin hypocrite.

---

i always used a homepass relay.

I remember reading an article where some chick found out her fiance was cheating on her because his 3ds had a shit ton of streetpasses with his mistress lol

Dude that was like 60% of any given convention. Tens after tens after tens of people showing up constantly.

I remember I felt so accomplished when I completed the first 14(?) puzzles from streetpassing people, but then Nintendo just kept adding more and more and more and I just gave up lol

Did the same with my 3DS for a year, so easy to just stack coins that way. Unfortunately I only got like 3 streetpasses.

---

The puzzles were really cool. The games were fun little 2 minute time wasters too.
---

I thought it was dumb as hell, then I played SMT4 and started power walking

---

The social networking services is one of the things I wish the Switch would incorporate. I understand they're going for a minimalistic presentation with the console, but something like Steetpass or Miiverse with the number of people who have Switches would be awesome.

---

I finished all of the puzzles

Hahaha that's fuckin hilarious.

Pretty sure I did too unless they added even more after.

They always add more. You can never truly say you've completed them all >_>

Pretty sure they stopped adding them after a certain point. *fires up DS* yup, I still have gold medals on Puzzle Swap and Find Mii I&II. I still haven't finished Slot Car Rivals though, but I only play it like once a year at PAX East.

Now we catch Pokemon with our smartphones.

Nintendo has evolved.

---

Yes, and I paid for all those extra games too
there was a plant one that I didnt finish
a ghost-hunting one, where you explore floors of a hotel or something
a space shooter I think
i forgot what else
but I played all of them lol

---

Yeah that was fun. It was weirdly addicting. It got to the point when I just started to think that this is just a time sink that I could spend actually playing my new 3DS games.

---

I was in college at the time, so I got a lot of mileage out of Streetpass. I only finished a few puzzles though.

It was a sad day when I stopped getting streetpasses every day. I wish there was a little thingy you could buy that would streetpass people and then when its in range of your switch it sends it to the system.
