3Ds doesnt feel like retro gaming…but it has been a while. I found this on a peertube instance, so figured this community might like it.

    Streetpass was one of the coolest features a portable device could have and they did it so well. It was always so exciting to see that little green light

      The times it did work, it was kinda neat.

      I remember how exciting it was to go to a comic convention and suddenly Animal Crossing and my Fire Emblem game popped up with prizes. It wasn’t revolutionary, but it was neat!

      Then leaving, rode the airplane, through the train… Silence. It never lit up again.

      They mastered it with the 3DS, I remember seeing many DS games supporting features very similar to it, some that comes to my head are TWEWY and Metroid Prime Hunters.
