The beginning of this week noticed the closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops, a tragic time for all of us, lots of whom spent final weekend feeling somewhat sentimental about all the good video games that we might be dropping as we tried to obtain as many titles as potential (not talking from private expertise, after all). However what does this closure imply for the 3DS’ different options? Simply three months into what we declared “the yr of 3DS StreetPass,” might the function actually be dying simply as we had been getting began?
That is the exact query that our beautiful video producer, Zion, tried to reply this week. As lots of you might bear in mind, Zion has been making a public push for the return of StreetPass ever because the begin of 2023 — we even held a StreetPass occasion at this yr’s PAX West. Apart from offering an replace on how this journey has been going up to now, the newest video explains the truth of Streetpass in 2023, how the eShop closure has affected the function, and what its future would possibly appear like.
So, is 3DS Streetpass actually lifeless? It seems that it is somewhat extra sophisticated than a sure or no reply, however you’ll be able to take a look at the total video under to see Zion’s findings up to now.
