Earlier this week saw the closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops, a sad time for all of us, many of whom spent last weekend feeling a bit mushy about all the games. great play that we will lose trying to download as many titles as possible (not speaking from personal experience, of course). But what does this closure mean for other 3DS features? Just three months after what we announced”year of 3DS StreetPass,” is the feature really dying as soon as we start it?
This is the exact question our lovely video producer, Zion, has been trying to answer this week. As many of you may already know, Zion has been openly promoting the return of StreetPass since early 2023 — we even hosted a StreetPass Events at PAX West this year. In addition to providing an update on how this journey has gone so far, the latest video explains the reality of Streetpass in 2023, how the closure of the eShop has affected the feature, and What will its future look like?
So is 3DS Streetpass really dead? It turns out it’s a bit more complicated than a yes or no answer, but you can check out the full video below for Zion’s findings so far.
