Topic: Where Can I Get Streetpass?

So I want to do streetpass to see what miis and junk I get. Does anyone know the best places to get them? I have gone to a lot of places, but haven't got anything. I have also been riding in cars, but no luck there either. Everywhere online says good information, but it was all in 2019, and the previous years. Is there a crucial point I am missing? Or should I just give up hope?

I don't think you can due to the online services being shutdown now.

Basically you need to find someone else carrying a 3ds with streetpass active and communications on. Unless you get yourself a second system, I suppose the second best option would be going to some place where other people would be likely to carry a 3DS… Like, maybe a convention or big game store?

@Tasuki streetpass uses local communication, it’s not affected by the online servers closing down.

@Eel Ah ok I wasn't 100% sure about that good to now.

But giving that not to many people carry a 3DS on them anymore this might be a tall task. Alot of people have upgraded to the Switch. Maybe try organizing a street pass event in your area.

@Eel

I do have a second system, but I want new miis not the same ones over and over again. Though thanks for the help everyone. It seems to be a dark and cloudy voyage for streetpass in 2024.

@PersianZSR Yeah like @Eel said I'd recommend conventions/gaming events. I've taken mine to some and got quite a few hits in the last year

@Tasuki Local StreetPass meetup is a great idea!

@PersianZSR I have been carrying my 3DS with me for ever. But even when I went to Japan for a month in November, I only got 3 hits, an Australian, a Swede and a Mexican. Sounds like a set up for a really bad joke.
Probably best places to go would be retro gaming shows/conferences.
I still want to finish off my Puzzle Swaps

@DreamlandGem I can't really go to those. That is unfortunate. Though a streetpass meetup is a brilliant idea.

@Bunkerneath That made me lose a lot of hope lol. Glad you resisted.

I wish they would have added Streetpass to the Switch maybe with the next console if it's a hybrid they will.

I remember taking my 3DS to places like the beach, Universal Studios, The Portland Retro Game Convention and even when I went to NYC a few years ago and loved seeing where all I got people from. It was such a unique feature.

@DreamlandGem I know a local comic and game shop in my area does it once a month during their Pokemon games. Makes me wish I still had a 3DS.

EGX 2024, How about it, everyone whose coming, bring your 3ds' and get the Streetpass numbers up!

I'll bring both of my 3ds'

Two streetpass hits on my day trip to London today! Keep that torch burning Londinium!!

@Andyv01 Wow nice. At least that shows that there are still people walking around with their 2ds/3ds.
