Ah, okay, so picture this: You’re at a Green Day concert, just jammin’ along, right? And then, out of the blue, a Nintendo 3DS user at the same gig sees that their little handheld friend is showing the green glow of destiny – yeah, they got a StreetPass hit. Wild, huh?
Now, rewind a bit for those who weren’t on the 3DS train back in its prime. It was this portable device, battery that lasts forever if it’s in sleep mode, and had this rad feature called StreetPass. Basically, if your 3DS passed another one in the wild, boom, instant digital handshake. Next check, and you’d see a new Mii frolicking in your StreetPass Plaza. Mini-games galore! But, sad face, with newer systems out and about, those precious encounters are like unicorn sightings now.
There was this Reddit story, Leftoo, some legend, who took their 3DS to a Green Day show in Athens – yeah, Greece! They said it was kinda a joke, like those memes where folks record concerts with their 3DS. I mean, shaky cam and tinny audio, anyone? But, plot twist! As they’re leaving the concert, mystery green light on their 3DS! Someone else had their trusty 3DS too. A cosmic connection!
So, anyway—what was I even saying? Oh, right—it got people all nostalgic. Fans chiming in, remembering when StreetPass green lights were like, common sights. Like, magic little surprises in your day. And there’s Leftoo again, sharing how they actually scored another StreetPass while on a train. Fancy!
Even though Nintendo’s kinda ghosted the 3DS officially (no more online play, boo), StreetPass still lurks in sleep mode, just waiting for its moment. But, the community’s kinda bummed that neither the Switch nor its sequel has resurrected StreetPass. Why did they ditch it? Battery worries? Portability stuff? It’s like Nintendo’s holding out on us, you know? Fans are itching for a comeback tour of sorts. Anyway, enough rambling. What a ride!
