I recently popped this open for the first time in like 7 years, and man was that a hit of nostalgia. Back before we were all interconnected with smartphones... I had StreetPass. I loved carrying my 3DS everywhere and StreetPassing my friends and random strangers. The minigames were decent enough to want to proceed with them, but some of the DLC minigames were actually quite good, if a bit much to keep up with consistently.
Such a cool social feature. Actually utilizes the handheld nature of the 3ds for something interesting.
While the later minigames became much more f2p-like, the earlier ones were quite memorable - Streetpass Quest and the puzzle game specifically.
It's a bummer that they didn't continue this with the Switch :(

To put this anywhere under 5 stars just wouldn't make sense honestly. This was the main feature of the 3DS and it was incredible in the amount of content and games it had. I spent hours in each one, taking my 3DS absolutely everywhere to get more StreetPass hits to make a little more progress in each of the games which themselves were all great. I maxed out many of the puzzles, made several full rotations in both Find Mii and Find Mii 2, Mii Force was great, Flower Town was great, and all the others as well. A really unforgettable piece of the 3DS's soul
This is such an ingenious idea that I almost want to give it 5 stars, but I feel like the quality of the minigames is sort of a whiplash considering that ultimate angler, battleground z, and puzzle swap are the only ones I find myself playing through whenever I use netpass. Still, this needs to return on a Nintendo handheld someday!
Being a Midwestern 3DS owner was rough as a kid; while it was common to pass by someone else with StreetPass in more populated areas, good luck finding lots of them across endless fields of corn and soybean fields.
I opened StreetPass fairly regularly, and for a while, had a short collection of Miis. Though, after toggling some setting and thinking nothing of it, I ended up accidentally importing a ton of unwanted Miis from playing Mario Kart 7 online, and you can't utilize them in Puzzle Swap or Find Mii, so they're practically useless. Since my 3DS is now in my sister's possession, I will not be returning to this one
