  • My excitement and memories I had with my 3DS as a kid are upheld by Nintendo's brilliant ideas it had with the system. Nintendo's StreetPass Mii Plaza was one of the greatest home apps that any console could ever come with. But with not much news about it, I was wondering What Happened to Nintendo's StreetPass Mii Plaza?

    Wow! I used to love StreetPass and Mii Plaza! We live in a house on a busy road and me and my kids used to love that we catch passing-by people just by sitting in our living room :) and it was pretty sad, when one day we realised that even having our 3ds's with us walking around the city didn't bring us any points for our garden. Flowers stopped mixing and didn't produce any new kinds, no more people with new geolocations, and all other little things that we loved ❤ sad Switch doesn't have this function

We talkin Palisades Mall, Paramus Park, Woodbury Outlets, you name it! And BOY did I get crazy amount of Miis on my doorstep. There so many. I think I had over 500 Miis chillin in my plaza. Greeting everyone at the gate made me so happy knowing that there other gamers out there like me. Also, Streetpass was a marketing tool in disguise cuz you could see what other players were playing, and seeing which title was the buzz convinced me to buy other games and expand my palate for other gaming genres and series. Truly great times!☺️

I had so much fun with my 3DS, I used to take my 2 daughters to McDonald’s for breakfast and streetpass, we would get so existed when we finish a region of when Reggie or Iwatta pop up on our streetpass plaza. I took my older daughter to the Legend of Zelda concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota and that was amazing, not only for the concert it self but because all the streetpass we got that night. It was awesome. Some other day there was a Streetpass meetups at the mall of America and I convinced my wife to take the trip to Minnesota (6hours from my home) to do that and enjoy the mall.

    I didn't get too far of my hometown often, so I didn't have the means to get puzzle pieces super quickly.
    I grinded play-coins by moving the 3DS while watching TV from time to time, so at least I could get all the blue pieces pretty consistently.
    But it wasn't until 2019 when I collected the final purple piece I was missing.
    The scary part is that I can count the amount of streetpass tags I got after that with my fingers, so I got everything at the very end of it all.

    God I miss streetpassing people so much, was always a fun thing I could do on the side with my 3ds. It really motivated me to start going outside to all these cool places (before the whole Pokemon GO craze) and I loved seeing all these people near me that had 3dses and were enjoying the same games I was. I remember I used to always check my streetpass plaza every single day when I was picking up my little brother from school since a lot of kids there had 2dses, so I'd always get tons of hits. (That's also how I filled out a lot of my streetpass map because the school had a few transfer/exchange students.)
    Recently I started getting nostalgic about streetpass and wondered if anyone near me still carried around 3dses. Despite me living in a relatively small area, there is a huge retro/vintage collecting scene where I live. And since the 3ds is now highly desirable, I felt like the odds of me running into someone else with a 3ds were pretty high. So I dug out my old childhood 3ds that was in extremely rough shape, and started experimenting by carrying it around with me again and taking it to different places.
    Didn't really have much success at first but after a few weeks of trying, during my usual evening walk, I glanced down at my pocket and saw the green light again for the first time in almost 5 years. I was honestly surprised that I was able to find someone via streetpass again after all these years. I've also been seeing a lot more posts on reddit lately of people receiving streetpasses, so I feel like streetpass might've been experiencing a resurgence over these past few weeks.
    I'm probably gonna keep carrying around my 3ds for streetpass for a while, mostly because I never got to finish all the puzzles (and I want to do that before 3dses eventually start failing) but also because it's just always fun to see a new person pop up on my 3ds. Reminds me of much simpler times when I didn't have to worry about that much. Thanks for the amazing high-quality video. You just earned a new sub.

    It is my dream to complete every puzzle. I still carry around my 3ds and spend all of my coins on pieces, but I'm missing pink ones. Without other people that have them it will never be possible.
    I just need 440 more pieces, 187 of them pink.

    I totally agree. I miss streetpass so much. But when I commented about it once people heckled and said it’s a thing of the past. But I would take my switch everywhere if there was streetpass Mii plaza.

I did get one last year from someone at target and someone at my school but it's not common. I remember bringing my 2ds to high school with me and I would get tags all the time in 2015-17.

    I miss streetpass. I sometimes think of going back to my mii plaza to see all of the miis again. I don't remember even getting a new StreetPass Mii for about the past 4 years which is kinda sad, as not many people use their 3ds anymore. At one point I thought my 3ds's StreetPass broke because I stopped getting new Miis in my Plaza lol
    They should add a sort of streetpass feature to the Switch, I'd love to see it!

    I went to several anime and gaming conventions back when the 3DS was at its height, and I'd get hundreds of Street Passes from each one. I completed a ton of puzzles and beat Find Mii twice. (For anyone who hasn't played Find Mii, it takes a LONG time to beat.)
    Sadly, my 3ds was stolen. Although I was able to transfer my Nintendo ID to a new system, all my digital save files were gone. That included my Mii Plaza data. Losing that definitely hurt the most. I replayed most of my other digitally downloaded games and got back the progress I had lost. But I will never be able to get back what I had in the Mii Plaza.

  • @aba4055

    yes!!! i love streetpass, it made the 3ds so exciting and encouraged me to get up and go places (more than stuff like pokemon go or pikmin bloom ever did). it's so baffling to me that they don't have anything like it for the switch. I don't think they realized how much it added! The switch has no social functions like this, and it feels so boring and dead lol. i think streetpass was the perfect balance between having nothing, and having something as unregulated as miiverse. social and exciting, but not too crazy or dangerous for little kids.

  • @megamatt1915
    @megamatt1915 2 роки тому

    streetpass is legitimately one of my favorite things in all of gaming and it was a huge part of my childhood. streetpass is pretty much the perfect “social media” for kids if you can call it that. and adults loved it too! also nothing else is like it, we don’t have it on phones or anything, at least on a mainstream level. *sigh*, i can only pray that nintendo adds it as an update to the switch perhaps when the next iteration drops or on their next mainline console.

    I'm still thinking about this feature, because of Tomodachi Life. I wish to see a convention dedicated to this specific feature that allows us to exchange Mii's. I would love to see it and experience it because I want to send my Tomodachi Life travelers into someone else's Tomodachi Life game.
    (This feature needs to be used more. Bring out your Nintendo 3DS, 2DS or other into the streets again!)

    I remember that, at some point, I had an idea. I Because every time I pass trough a specific point I always had a full ten. So the idea I came in mind with that that point had some kind of streetpass gathering. And would always give you ten mii's. Later I realized that was the whole Hotspot thing. There was even a website to tell where those hotspots where.
    Fuck is miss this, I remember the first thing I checked when the swithc was annouced was if it would have Miiplaza again.
