- 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?

Hope you all have a great day and thanks for watching once again!
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
I always love reading or hearing such simple memories from others when it comes to things such as video games! Relating to something so small such as streetpass is such a nice feeling, I really wish the switch did have something like it!
I want the Switch to have Streetpass Mii Plaza or I will be really sad!
@@Nichslvl They should add it and Miiverse to the Switch
@@ryleyoconnor8010 First of all, the Switch doesn't have an integrated step-tracking device, which are for Play Coins. AND the switch doesn't even have lights on it, it only has light through the right joy-con, which only shines blue and is mainly used for Ring Fit Adventure. Which is rendering StreetPass Mii Plaza a no-go. Miiverse is obviously never coming back. Modders are still finding a way to bring this back.
@@Khentendo1337 you could have a notification show up on the home screen when you turn it on
and for the step counter you could have it so if the joycon shakes a little bit (not when its shaken a lot to prevent people cheeseing it) you get closer to getting a play coin
When I was younger, I remember carrying around my 2DS on sleep mode and excitedly checking for the green light. It’s ridiculous to think that literally hundreds of people carried around their 3DS consoles even in 2017… I miss it
I agree, sadly as I got older I stopped caring for the 3DS, but NOW that I'm much older, I want to experience all these things I did with my 3DS as a kid!
@@Nichslvl same .. Last person(I was VERY surprised ) that i met with street pass was in my school but 9 Months ago(June 2021). That was crazy!!! I thinked that nobody really takes its 3ds with it
@@bestgamting i take my 3ds to school everyday so i can hopefully pass someone…i finally got tagged a few days ago and it was so exciting!! i was honestly so surprised !
My original 3ds I lost, but I still carry my 2ds
I took mine to school after I saw my freind with his and got his tag in May 2022
I once passed someone, where it straight up showed their favourite app being the homebrew channel, and their mii just stood there, holding the homebrew channel icon. Amazing.
Haha! I love this, this is the first time I've heard of this happening!
@@Nichslvl It actually happened. I'm not joking, i swear. I was at a theme park with my housemates.
And yup, i also didn't believe that that was possible.
@@itryen7632 yup and you can also set it to your favorite title on your friends list profile
LOL
It's crazy that that is possible. Did you not have the Homebrew channel on your 3DS?
I really miss this feature. Seeing that green light always put a surprised smile on my face...sucks that it's rarer than a blue moon now :(
It's crazy the feelings that many of us all share with such a simple feature, I really do wish there could be a huge traffic source to push everyone to carrys their 3DS everywhere again!
I got a Streetpass from someone other than "me on my other 3ds" a few months ago. It was wild tbh.
I didn’t realize they added all these streetpass games later on. Really miss it though. Was pretty sad when they didn’t include it on the switch. I wonder why.
To be honest I totally forgot about the addition of all the new games, but it showed how much Nintendo still wanted it to push the experience with it!
@@Nichslvl Totally! It was such a unique way to interact with people. Especially when I was on my college campus at the time.
They were really fun! Ultimate angler is really charming imo
3:01 About that, I got 3 streetpasses just driving on the highway last week. Shoutouts to the people carrying their 3ds with them
Honestly with this information, I might have to do some experiments SOON to see how many streetpasses I can get in 2022!
@@Nichslvl Oh yeah, I also got a streetpass at the air and space museum on the exact same trip
Where?!
I was just thinking about this yesterday,
I used to travel a lot and get tons of people from all over when I went to the airport.
Great video, I can tell you put a lot of care into it.
Thank you so much! I really want to get back into the whole Streetpass Searching so I bought a 3ds XL recently :P
Yeah me too! i even got special miis for some reason on my trip to northern cyprus lol
my nintendo ny visit in august 2017 led to like 100 streetpasses
@@thecoolme1697 He stopped using and caring for it.
Great video! It is unfortunate that the majority of people prefer power than charm. I’ve actually spent over 6 full days in NYC over the course of 5 months in as many places as I could get to without a single tag. But, I did get one as I passed by a school in NJ, so that proves that it is still possible!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. This gives me hope for a future idea that I have!
I still have my old 3ds and a link between worlds is the only thing getting tags now
Crazy how times changed. Back in the day, I used to live in NYC and I would go to malls and outlets EVERY weekend. Sometimes in on weekdays too. 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!☺️
We need somebody really famous to promote StreetPass to get that same level of engagement again. StreetPass was such a great feature!
Don't worry, soon I'll be the big enough to encourage everyone to start carrying their 3DS around EVERYWHERE! ...it's just gotta be before March 2023 sadly :(
@@Nichslvl ik this is late but why's that?
@@rsodrealm because I think in March Streetpass is going to be shutdown
Sigh…. I remember back then like 7-4 years ago I would actually get a decent amount of streetpasses. I was so happy when I got a lot, I even got some random guy from japan once. I miss when the 3ds light flashed green, and I would get excited. Nowadays if my 3DS flashes green I would start jumping up and down as if it were a miracle. Honestly miss so much….
I really wish I would've been able to experience traveling to a different country with my 3DS! I honestly miss it so much as well, having the free time I do now, I'd probably just go on StreetPass trips just to kill time!
Yep... I had so much fun and so many memories with this little game, especially on road trips. It takes me way back. Was such a cool and fun feature, I'd open Streetpass Mii Plaza almost everytime I'd see that light on my 3DS. Ahhh the nostalgia. :') It sure is a shame there's no such thing in the Switch.
Nintendo truly did miss out on a huge opportunity to bring something like this to the switch! Even something like Miiverse would have been cool!
@@Nichslvl it truly would have, the switch is super lacking on social features and that's quite disappointing considering that the previous DS, Wii U, and 3DS all had some way to make friends and actually talk to them somehow, wether it be miiverse, Wii U chat, Pictochat, friendslist, status message, etc. In some ways the Switch has moved backwards when you factor all that. It can just feel so lonely at times.
I remember I took my 3ds to Disneyland back in 2012 and was excited to get so many Streetpass tags in one place. I have to give Nintendo props for making such a simple yet unique and amazing feature.
Mine always maxed out so quick lol. I always took it to disneyland too.
I bet you could get lots of those at Super Nintendo World! That would be a fun experiment :)
I remember, i went outside with my 3DS every day with the hope of finding someone on street pass, one day i stopped doing this and lost my hope, the next day i entered the bus and saw 3 people playing on 3DS.
Never give up hope :)
Most powerful comment ever
I got a 2ds about a year ago. Since then I've found 2 streetpasses which isn't much but I'm glad I actually found some
It still absolutely blows my mind how my car and another can zoom past each other and I'll still get the streetpass data
I agree! When I experienced this on a road trip I don't think my parents ever heard the end of it until after the trip was over!
I guess I’m carrying my 2Ds with me wherever I go lol. Fr though, I feel like the Switch has a lot of missing features that we all loved from past consoles, so I think things like Streetpass should be back!
I got my 2Ds when I was REALLY young so I didn’t really understand how Streepass worked (or anything on the 2Ds for that matter-) but I have a few memories of me taking out my 2Ds while I was out with my family and met a few Mii’s on Mii Plaza. I didn’t know they were real people, but hey I found out later xD
I still carry around my 3ds during the day and sometimes still get a street pass! Seeing this video was also a good reminder to get all the street pass games I haven't bought yet
oh no i watched this video and just started crying in nostalgia tears due to having a lot of fun taking my 3DS on family trips and collecting those Mii passes to beat monsters and Gouls in that one streetpass game. same with Pokémon Rumble and Shuffle. making me all sad at how much we took it for granted now that the eShop will be shutting down soon.
Omg I loved street pass as a child. I loved passing people everytime I went out into town as a 12 year old and logging onto to animal crossing to snoop at other peoples houses!
Great video! I remember taking my 3DS around everywhere I went and how I would get hundreds of passes from airports, hotels, and other places that I passed by during holidays. I tried that again in Sydney recently and I got around 10-15 passes which is quite impressive for 2022 but I assume the recent E-shop news and Nostalgia is the main reason why there are more people on their 3DS now.
I really miss those times when I had more freedom and time to do that stuff...
I want this to come back to badly
It was my childhood man, the theme will always stick with me forever
As well as the memories of walking around in my room for playcoins and recently, riding my bike for playcoins
AND SHAKING THE 3DS VIGOROUSLY FOR PLAYCOINS
@@Nichslvl YES BRO
The 3DS is by far my favorite Nintendo console! Heck, I even made it fit into my USERNAME :D
You love to see it!
@@Nichslvl :)
Sadly I just got back into the 3DS two years ago. I had lost mine for a long while and never got to experience all the streetpass points. Which would explain why certain challenges in the app seemed impossible. But the extra games are actually quite fun.
Dang, I miss this so much! I used to have around 1000 Miis in my Mii Plaza solely due to Mario Kart 7 Online Multiplayer games and airports.
Still carrying my 3DS everywhere with me to this day :')
I actually got 3 streetpass hits last year in an airport. It was a strange experience to see that little green light once more.
i have so many good memories of this! i brought it to school and got so many plaza tags. mk7 and mii plaza were the biggest games on it
I really enjoyed this video! I loved streetpass and mii plaza way back when. Its always fun to get that green light when you're on the road. Keep up the great work!
Hey thank you so much it really means a lot!
your delivery of "once you'd PASS another user on the STREET" killed me lol
Thank you for noticing this! Lol
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 Remember In 2021 I Got 2 Miis On Mii Plaza On 3DS
I feel like the 3ds will gain popularity due to nostalgia and joy con drift
StreetPass is always gonna be amazing. I have thousands on my plaza and communication with other users with the games you have is amazing. I have only had 3 new StreetPasses in the past 2 years. Sad.
Very high quality! You deserve more views on this video!
Thank you so much! It's a slow climb , but I'm willing to keep it going!
I swear, these were the shit. I wish something like streetpass games existed for phones.
I used to go to Disneyland so much and my streetpass was loaded. It makes me sad that this feature is slowly being forgotten
Man this makes me remember what having a 3ds way back felt like. It was just so fun. That little green light always got me excited!
god! I loved the racing mii game I remember they gave you a choice between battleground Z and slotcar rivals for free! I seriously miss taking my Nintendo 3DS to a game store and getting 2-5 miis from the display 3DS's
I reset my childhood 3DS so all of my passes are gone... but I had 30 or 40 or so...
StreetPass was amazing...
I remember sitting in bed one day last year, and I randomly got a certain green glowing light on my 3ds.
For anybody interested I would recommend looking up street pass 2, it’s not the same as walking around but you will still be able to play the street pass games without other people.
this really inspired me to start carrying around me 3ds again !
It’s crazy how Nintendo had the ability to bring so many people together when the 3ds was in its prime, they really need to add some more social features like this to the switch
Today I went out to Manhattan just to find that no one was carrying their 3ds. I kept checking hoping that I at least had street pass interaction
I randomly got Gandalf from Oklahamo in my home one day.
Someone was walking your street and you happened to be the chosen one
When I got my 2DS 8 years ago, I was still in elementary school and my parents made the choice to put a parental control, so I wouldn't access the Internet. Of course, they lost the password to time and I was never able to go on the StreetPass.... still to this day
You know you can reset it, right? It's a Google search away
@@BrunoNeureiter yes, but i stopped playing ages ago
What I think is really sad about the end of Streetpass is that it could only be replicated on a game console, at least I think. I feel like any steeetpass clone on a phone would have some privacy problem and may not work on all hardware . Then again, what would be really new about that?
I’m still carrying my 3DS around here in Oklahoma! If you get a notification of a Mii named “Eteled” with a Mario cap on, that’s me! Hi!! :>
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.
exactly! it’s like the perfect social media for kids
I'm at the point where I'm willing to buy an entirely new Switch console if it added streetpass.
New Nintendo Switch Pro Model 2.0 Leak StreePass Confirmed Maybe???
The Streetpass Mii Plaza DLC is so fun and I don’t know why. Market Crashers is so damn fun oh my god
Wow this video brought back some memories man thanks 🙏🏿
StreetPass Quest is the European name for find Mii.
I feel like the new StreetPass Mii Plaza games came out too late. I never got the opportunity to finish them.
Same, it's kinda like what happened with the most recent Animal Crossing, a lot of great content was held back and sadly many players had already had their fun with the game
Both me and my sister have a 3DS, and we still carry them around in hope of finding others wherever we might go. There are three other students at our school which also have a 3DS system, as I have tagged them before. Hopefully I will get a StreetPass outside of my home area someday, maybe... And someone that isn't my sister or schoolmate.
In 2023, I still continue to take my 3ds with me when I go to work, in the hope I will meet someone by streetpass…
Not really a big success… 😢
I still go on my 2ds and still get one or two tags everyday when I go to school
I keep reading comments like this and it's making me want to take my 3ds outside more and more!
@@Nichslvl from what I can see people only bring there 3ds’s out when they know they are going to be bored outside(that’s why I get quite a few at school I think)
I would love this. Better then fricken switch online
Most definitely 100% back this, would love to see a community feature like this on the switch!
I miss how fun it used to be seeing that green light the switch just feels soulless without the charm that the 3ds had
I’m in Australia, still trying to get a StreetPass Hit/Tag
Warrior Way was my favorite Game on MiiPlaza.
I love streetpass. I'd love to see it come back.
I did StreetPass with someone at my school who also brought their 3DS but still, so rare, it is shocking.
Everyone! Start carrying your 3ds around! This is not a drill!
We should all agree to take out our 3DS every anniversary of the 3DS.
one time i was going to one of my parent's house in a car with my 2ds and i saw the green light flash. i started freaking out
Nintendo 3DS was one of the best if not the best nintendo machine to ever exist
I am curious; for modded 3DS systems, is there an app that can “spoof” random bits of StreetPass data for different games? Obviously it wouldn’t be feasible to randomly generate Mario Kart 7 ghosts (nor would anyone really care), but some of the simpler stuff like Mii Plaza tags so that it’s possible to get all of the puzzle pieces, some of which can’t be acquired by spending Play Coins
i had a modded 3DS and for some reason i could never do streetpass, don’t ask me why or how i was like 9 and my dad did all that for me and told me it wouldn’t work unless i updated my console, which would make the mods not work anymore. so i missed out on street passes until like 3 years ago when i decided to update my console and start getting my own games to use, and i only got one streetpass from someone on the street in boston with animal crossing, and that’s it. i feel so sad i missed out on that :(
When I was a kid I didn't really what Streetpass was. It's such a shame that I missed out
Such a great video for someone with 998 subscribers!
I was lucky enough to go on summer roadtrips across the US and I got StreetPasses from so many states with a few from other countries! So proud to call that a huge part of my childhood
I miss getting 10 hits on streetpass : (
Idk man, the Wii U and 3DS era just felt better. It felt... More Nintendo, if you get what i mean. More genuine. It's totally the nostalgia speaking here, but yeah. I miss those times.
This game was extremely underrated
I had so many memories with StreetPass, i still try use it nowadays. And i bougth a ton of 3ds's so i can streetpass more Lol
I miss this game they should bring this back for the Switch
when i was younger both me and my brother had 2ds's so we were eachother's most common streetpass hits lol (though i have managed to streetpass a few times with strangers who also played tomodachi life before whenever i brought my 2ds to school because i had tomodachi life lol)
I held the streetpass panel for find Mii at pax west 2023. You should have seen the love for StreetPass!
Just watched your video, i DEFINITELY need to go to one of these events the next time they're up!
@@Nichslvl if I'm lucky get another panel for east!
We’re holding one in Las Vegas November 18th and giving out sweet treats ❤🎉
Bro I used to have a 3ds and had no idea how to work street pass, I just liked going into the mii plaza and playing around. I wish I had know how it worked back then
When Satoru Iwata passed away so did Nintendo
Too bad I never got a streetpass where I lived
But when I did travel to a more popular city I did at least managed to get one streetpass (that also had a Eon Ticker for ORAS)
i still bring it on that chance i do walk past someone else still super fun surprise
I had managed to beat Mii Stock Market in its entirety thabks to bringing my 3ds to school and getting streetpasses off other kids. Beat Find Mii 1 too because of it! Sadly, never beat Find Mii 2 because the switch came out and kids slowly stopping using their 3ds
They really should add something similar to mii plaza on the switch, but I feel (if they did not make it pay to win) it could work well as a mobile game as well!
I've read many others say that having it as a mobile game could be a really good idea for Nintendo, but I wouldn't want it to just be another app made for the hype and then shoved to the back of the phone :( I think there was just something so iconic about the 3DS having it!
I don't understand why Streetpass wasn't brought back for the switch. It's literally the coolest idea any video game company has ever come up with
Wow I used to do the StreetPass I used to bring my 3DS on long car trips and I would get excited when it flashed green. One of the memories was getting some street pass in high school
I really miss all the little things like Streetpass that the 3DS had built-in. You could own one without any games and still have a great time with the preloaded software. I remember taking my 3DS literally everywhere, getting streetpass tags at school, on hiking trails, etc. It really helped build a sense of community in the portable gaming world at the time. The Switch is an incredible console, but it's largely devoid of the personality and detail the 3DS had.
Apparently I passed a 3ds hot spot (like a meet up or something not the hotspots talked about in the vid) or something because I brought my 3ds on a bus trip that was 15 mins and i passed 52 people
i'm still walking around with my 3ds & dreaming & hoping & wishing for a hit on my streetpass.. untill then i'm racking up them play coin's
I rember being like 6 or 7 and playing my 3ds on the M1 (a major uk highway) and just getting a shit top of peoples miis
Damn, thats so much quality in one video, ima sub.
Hey thanks you so much! Much appreciated!
I would love for this to be made for the switch and I honestly lost my 3ds
I did had 3-4 persons at my high school Who brought/had a 3ds
I loved the streetpass, it was so fun. Really wished they added it for switch, or just produce a new 3ds
I've been carrying around my 3ds lately and while i haven't gotten any whether its at the mall or elsewhere, i even went to a friends house who took their 3ds out and i didn't get a streetpass from them, im not sure whats going on with it ):
I think u have to have that little wireless slider switched on or something
I am kind of tempted to spent the day outside Just walking but I live In a small area and after hearing about the guy who walked all around new york without a hit my chances are very very low
I think the only guaranteed way to get some hits is to go to a gaming convention, which I don't mind truly! But sucks that we can't just go out in the world and instantly expect any hits :/
I love Streetpass I still use it to this say even if many people aren't using 3DS anymore
Me who still brings my 3DS around with me even though the battery is messed up: 🙃
