Streetpassing at the E3 Expo around the 3DS launch was next level.
Lost my Hyrule Edition 3DS XL on holiday a few years ago...I have yet to recover. This video has inspired me to maybe buy another. Keep up the good work 🙂
You'll get another one. And something even better is waiting for you I'm sure!
@@iamataldi Going to make me tear up. Thank you for the kind words!
I've always wanted the A Link between Worlds edition, but it's soooo expensive
A ten minute video about how everyone should get their 3DS back out and streetpassing people is the main reason i subbed here. You're a special kind of cool 😎🖤
I have a modded 3ds and honestly I’ve never even tried streetpass! I’m gonna start carrying mine around with me because of you
@@zoeynoel9410 YAY I hope you get some when you bring your 3ds out!!🫶
I am so happy to hear someone encouraging people to pick up their 3DS again. I would love to get more streetpass hits.
I just bought a used 3DS XL in Hawaii and got a street pass alert on the plane back home. I used to take my old blue XL everywhere, I remember taking it to Disney in LA around 2013-14, I would get over 100 street passes every day.
I miss the sense of community that came with StreetPass. Learning that I passed by a fellow 3DS owner at some point made me so happy. I occasionally will see someone with a Switch in public, but I wish the Switch had StreetPass to make me notice and feel more connected to other Nintendo fans.
I still travel with my 3DS for my work travel. I’m flying tomorrow and will bring mine with me for those magical airport street passes!
I’ll never forgive myself for selling my 3ds’s 😩 So badly wanting to get another 3ds for modding purposes! The switch just doesn’t hit the same for me.. Can’t wait for more videos from you 😊
@snowbunni8049 I have to agree! I enjoyed my switch for many many hours but there is nothing like the 3ds for me!
Save up, and buy Japanese versions (The Japanese tend to take care of there stuff more than an American Kid would most of the time trust me on this.) Most definitely mod it because since it's Japanese, you can mod it to be U.S. version if you'd like. I buy off of eBay but I make sure that I see a video of the product instead of just photos like everyone else like if if it's showing you a video of how it looks that's a bit more trustworthy than just photos of it not to not to put not to say don't buy if they just show photos because I bought a Wii U from Atlanta Georgia from a store over there and I'm not even from that state so that's one example I bought a Wii U and it turned out okay I'm on it and it's all right but for the for the most part just just make sure it's exactly the kind you want and look at the screen to see if it's IPS or whatever
No problem to get a 3ds or 2ds nowadays. Just do it now. They will get more expensive with time.
@@makotonarukami7468 Do you have any trusted sellers you could recommend? I’m from the uk, Everywhere else I’ve been checking still seem quite expensive and I’m always so worried about ordering second hand technology in fear the item not coming as described, Ends up not working or breaking shortly after etc.. Thank you!
The 2DS is my favorite nintendo handheld after the switch. Reminds me of the gameboy color. A lovable brick. So comfortable, so reliable. Way affordable too! Criminally underrated
@@yhtkim4619 LOVEABLE BRICK!!!
I recently bought a 2DS Cheese wedge and it's one of my favorite consoles of all time now, playing 3DS games that I missed on it has been a blast. I also got a New 3DS (regular size) for when I want to experience the 3D effect, it's something I want to preserve so one day I can show it to my nephew since I don't think we'll ever see a gimmick like that again.
@@dash_frame long live the cheese wedge!! very cool, your nephew is lucky to have someone in his life like you :D i hope these consoles never get forgotten by younger generations
I brought my 3DS to school a couple months ago, and it was honestly heartwarming to see a streetpass notification pop up on my console. I was so happy to see that there were still people using the console. It wasn't until a few says ago until I figured out the person I was repeatedly tagging was sitting right next to me in class this whole time 😭 i love this console
i love my modded 3DS! so many amazing games and such a great library to bring with you! i miss how many street passes i got back in the day, i remember going to conventions in 2015-2017 and getting dozens and dozens of streetpasses ! such a fun era😊
@@jakey-boy we need a 3ds renaissance 🙏 i wanna see a loooong line in my mii plaza
*slowly raises my hand* I am almost constantly on my 3ds and Gameboy advance 😅 there’s something so wonderful about having my childhood handhelds and carrying them around. Streetpass was my favorite especially when I started going to conventions. Just going to Walmart I always had my 3ds so I could collect Streetpasses.
Lurking for fellow 3DS enjoyers at the airport is such a vibe
I brought my 3DS to New York last summer and actually got one! Then when I went to Japan I got 6 more!
We missed you too! You don’t ever need to feel bad about taking a break. I’ve started taking my 3DS places again too! Maybe someday we will streetpass each other lol
@@cosmavoid Thanks :) i hope we streetpass eachother one day!
ive started taking my 3ds xl with me everywhere, i actually got a streetpass when i took my 3ds to work (in a different city from where i live) the joy i got from seeing that green light was everything!
Love my new Nintendo 3ds xl! Goes with me everywhere
Having the entire GB/GBC/GBA, DS/3DS, NES/SNES, and even more libraries of games at your disposal makes the 3DS an indispensable single bring out of the house. Features like Street Pass make it so much better.
The Nintendo 2DS is my favorite mobile console. Fits in the hands perfect and in my cargo shorts/pants pocket. Never have I taken my Nintendo Switch outside the house. Too big.
Been I die hard fan of 3ds since day 1 , I’m obsessed with streetpass too . Great video can’t wait for more
I was actually just playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: explorers of the Sky, and Pokemon Platinum on my modded 2ds yesterday. I have a bunch of older consoles plus a laptop and switch but 3ds is so comfortable to play on. I might actually start bringing it with me when I go on little walks now.
I truly hope the Switch 2 has a stress pass like function, such a wonderful idea that I hope isn't abandoned forever.
homebrewing/pretendo network is breathing life back into it
You never disappoint, always deliver
I have my "New" 3DS XL Animal Crossing edition stowed away in a drawer... I got that during COVID and it's like gold dust now, the price of unopened 3DS consoles have skyrocketed so I feel really protective of it. To the point where I'm hardly touching it!! So I appreciate this video a lot. I'm going to bring it out this weekend and revisit Pokemon X and play (the best version of) Luigi's Mansion 2.
2025 is about to be the year of the street pass
@@Jarred-Pegg you know it🙏
i’m convinced. i will take my 3ds anywhere i can going forward. you’ve also earned a sub from me. keep it up! ❤
I'd be living with my 3ds 24/7 had it not literally split in half back in 2022, miss it most days
@Josuh rip to a legend, i would suggest a 2ds for you next time my friend 🥲 💔
( if you have a pc you can emulate using citra to still play the games!! )
You should travel to Pax East this year!
@@GamingtheOtter best believe ill be there‼️
I’m hopeful for a collab 😊 would you cosplay as princess peach? 😮
Sorry to disappoint you, I have an Odin 2 mini. Nice video.
Had the Switch not been released, I think the 3DS would still be widely in use today
@@guizhangchen1999 facts!
You need to post more!! Im also going on a 3 day work trip to another office in other city next week, gonna be fun but i dont have any 3DS for the travel (yet!)
@@Khaidas_Room Fellow work traveler!! I hope a 3ds falls into your lap soon, it really makes the travel experience better 🥹
@@sweetweeby I hope so!! It's on my priorities for this next months 🧐
I'm all for this trend! Will try to pick up some StreetPasses at Midwest Gaming Classic in April and other video game conventions this year.
i just got a modded new 3ds xl because i never had a 3ds growing up (we were lower class) i have been obsessed with it
I end up buying the dsi xl thanks to ur advice im enjoying it a lot 😊
I always travel around with my "new" 2ds been doing it for years 😊
Alright alright I’ve been influenced. I’ll take my 3ds out with me more often
I spent $200 to get a 3DS and mod it, and getting all those free games are incredible.
I Love the 3ds I subbed. Yoki watch is awesome I miss street pass. 3ds people need to reunite again.
living in the suburbs of ohio, i know i most likely won’t streetpass anyone.. but i still carry my 3ds with me just in case.
@@picori. you’ll get one again one day🫶
maybe thanks to this video!
the DS and 3DS were the last social devices from Nintendo :( Sure you can do fun multiple split controller stuff with the switch, but the little day to day interactions like spot pass and street pass made you really feel connected to others.
I've been into android retro emulation devices a lot lately to play all my favorite old games even up to wii u and switch on the go. Its replaced my 3DS in my bag and since the pass features are mostly dead these days i dont feel like im missing too much anymore.
Yo kai watch is such a fun little charming series
After watching this I definitely need to find my 3DS XL and modded 2DS. I lent it to my sister years ago, but haven't gotten them back since...
You know what hell yeah I’m putting it in my work bag today
Only time i get any street pass action is at video game conventions. But i still bring my 3ds xl to work everyday in case it’s a slow day, playing dragon quest 8 now. I did buy a switch and occasionally stray to the switch but always find myself going back to the 3ds
Been using my dsi xl a lot more lately
@@OneWingedDemonSlayer i envy you!! i really want a dsi xl! I hope youve been playing some food games :3
@@sweetweebyI know you meant good games but I do enjoy the cooking mama games :p
@@OneWingedDemonSlayer OMG perfect typo😭🫶 I love cooking mama too!!
I have the electric Blue 2DS and it's awesome! :)
I will be bringing both of mine on my road trip to Florida!
@@jonmartin9686 safe travels!! sounds like a blast~
you give me aubrey plaza vibes and for that reason alone i have no choice but to subscribe 😔
Vlog style is great. 🎉
I have 3, and don't regret modding all of them. The local multiplayer is just too good to pass up.
I sadly had to give up a few years ago when I went around 2 years without a single streetpass hit while living in major cities with strong geeky communities. Last time I got any was at a specific retro gaming market event.
I sometimes take it out with me, hoping for some random streetpass, I hope the Switch 2 bring it back!
i went even a step ahead and bought a DS lite, its so perfect you can put it anywhere
@@MadaoAU LOVE a DS Lite!! What color did you pick up?👀
3ds is top tier. Headed to Europe for a month and taking mine!
@@Yaboi_Giuseppe safe travels!! i hope you get some new regions unlocked on your streetpass map!
I might take it to the next TØP concert I go to
Recently I've been bringing my New 3DS XL with me again when I go out to earn Play Coins to use in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D and maybe to get StreetPass.
I carry my 3DS around all the time lol I live in New York
the camera quality might not be good, but TAKE PICTURES WITH YOUR 3DS!!! if you have it modded you can disable the shutter sound too :]
@oyasuuh WHAT you mean i can turn off that embarrassing shutter sound???
@@sweetweeby YES!! the patch is called "shut the cam up" too lmao i installed it a few days ago and i think i took more pics in these days rather than the almost whole decade i owned my 3ds asdlfalsdkljj
Got a modded NEW Galaxy 3DS XL for Christmas, it's amazing but haven't seen a single street pass yet
Thank you female Steve from Blues Clues I love the video I agree 100% I still use my 3DS constantly
It's been a while since I've played on my pink 3ds, cuz of exams 😫 and me trying to do others hobbies, even though i end up watching youtube vids all day 😓😭😭
Ur insane lol i love u
WEEEEBYYYYY
@@andyfranklin1213 HELLO MY FRIEND :D
one time I was on a flight and I street passed someone else and we had a pokemon battle ahah
Man, the 3DS/Wii U, what an ERA.
Nintnedo still had good hope that the internet could do good for the system. Now they now "better", but makes for sadder, bland products.
I'm pretty sure you have a 2DS because I have one of those. I haven't used it in so long. I have the white and mint edition 2DS.
The switch is just too big, even the switch lite is. Long live the ds lineup.
2ds is oddly shaped for travel, and I'm afraid to mod my new 3ds xl, it houses a lifetime of Pokémon, guess I'll have to buy a travel 3ds xl :)
@@eatcomics I was surprisingly less stressed about taking my 2ds out vs the 3ds xl I have previously used for travel! I think im just not as attached to my 2ds so i wasnt as worried about it lol. def reccomended getting a system you feel comfortable traveling with, whichever one that is!
my 3ds has been homebrewed since 2017 and I haven't changed the theme off of we are number one
@@machinistbay that is soooo 2017core 😭 i forgot about that one
3ds is the only console I have 1 of every model of
@@tmbocelot THATS AWESOME Im hoping to eventually get one more 3ds to have 3 different models :D im thinking either new 3ds xl or 2ds xl
Do you have a switch?
I’ve been on the lookout for a modded/mod-able 3DS because there really isn’t a great way to play the games on citra without physically having the two screens. And if I don’t now they’re just only going to get more expensive lol.
Don’t pretend there’s any reason other than us wanting more street passes. Come on that’s the best.
You need to be on a panel 😊
Which is more worth it, a modded 2ds or a modded 3ds cause im considering buying one but dont know which.
Also i was on a skl trip and i saw a guy with a 3ds using a circle pad pro!!!
@@Jodaboisreal I personally love any of the XL consoles the best! (3DS XL, New 3DS XL, or 2DS XL) My hope is to one day get a 2DS XL to mod as well :D
I have a few 3DS variants, and my thoughts are: if you’re picky about screen quality, get a modded new 3DS XL or LL with dual IPS screens. If screen quality doesn’t matter as much, but you want a larger screen, then 2DS XL (it’s lighter too which is nice). For comfort, get the 2DS. Small form factor, new 3DS. Just my opinion 😁 you’ll have a blast with any of them!!! (Pro tip: get the Japanese variants as they’re cheaper, and mod them yourself, super easy)
I thought that was a 2ds your holding
Ur theme lol
@@Jensoncorpuz i can explain!!! i swear!!! (in a big dexter phase rn😭)
Be aware, malware can be transferred through street pass as well, make sure you are keeping your CFW up to date.
the odds of that are so low. espeically nowadays
@@dukenukem7043 Fair enough, I haven't been in the 3ds modding scene for a while.
I was informed that malware can be transferred utilizing the technology that street pass uses, and figured I should let people know in case they weren't aware.
No thanks I travel with my Steam Deck that can play third party games that Nintendo can’t play
@@mikekanner2156 to each their own! if thats fun for you, then keep it up :D
I had multiple 3dses, normal, the XL, and then the New, i stopped when i got switch and now I emulate all of them on my deck oled, but I miss 3ds too
would be an honor to streetpass u in the future 🫶🏻
I still travel with my 3DS for my work travel. I’m flying tomorrow and will bring mine with me for those magical airport street passes!
