I have recently been playing this again in 2024, and despite the sad lack of possibility that I'll come upon an organic, glorious green streetpass light in my daily travels through the streets to pick up a Coke Zero, etc (I blame the people - get your 3DSes back out NOW!), the special little delight of seeing all those Miis and making them do small tasks in one thousand mini games has never yet been topped.

Like a million people, I crave some interaction and customisability and silly fun built-in stuff like this on newer consoles. Give me the funny little people!

Streetpass is forever, and I will get those last puzzle pieces if it kills me. I will not stop.

If you have a hacked 3DS, you can install the Pretendo network to get back online support (via community servers) and Netpass to have streetpass back! It's not the same as the real thing, of course, but there's way more people using it than i would have thought! It's great to have a populated Mii Plaza and Smash streetpass lobby again!
