[GetMadz]

thanks for letting us help out with the thumbnail! very privileged to give a little part to this project :)

[IFPLAYZ]

petition for nintendo to bring back streetpass in the next switch

[GBpoketto]

funnily enough, i actually got one streetpass this year so far and it was while i was out doing errands; i'm pretty sure it was while i was specifically getting groceries at walmart. they were last playing white 2 and i was so grateful. i've been taking my 3ds out with me every time i go out anywhere with me this year, and i hope more people start doing the same!

[flarepie]

seeing you sitting in the water with the 2ds is absolutely terrifying, you musnt put her in danger like this

[arielwetzel]

My family just got into 3DS in the last few years and we enthusiastically participated in the Year of StreetPass. @56:20 is my daughter Kira's Mii. She wears a white shirt to help people in Find Mii, and got the group past the dark room when everyone played together at the PAX West 2023 StreetPass panel.

Honestly, streetpass is still one of my favourite features and is a large part of the reason why I still carry around my 3DS on a regular basis. I only ever really get streetpasses from conventions (or this one street on my way home where theres someone with a 3DS) but I jump for joy every time I see that green light.

[MintleafCakes]

"when was the last time you charged your 3ds?" glances to my right, 3ds xl on charge

[robbertlw]

I think preserving media is the only right answer, and that’s exactly what you’ve done by making this video! So you don’t have to do anything with it anymore, unless you want to :)

[EvosDumbStuff]

Unironically the announcement of this video has changed my life, back when this was first announced i was super sad that no one was taking about StreetPass at the time, it was just me until i saw zions video pop up and then so many people started talking about StreetPass again! I have made so many great friends over this past year thanks to StreetPass, Thank you zion!

[mzsylver]

Thank you for helping keep StreetPass alive! That and the Miiverse are two of my favorite Nintendo features from the past.

[jasont.]

This video brings me so much joy. I recently found my original red 3DS this year and I've been OBSESSING over StreetPass. I hope this video encourages more people to bring their 3DS's when they're out and about. I certainly do. Thank you for this!

[Bloops]

It wasn't about the friends we made along the way, but the friends we made from a few meters away. This was a masterful documentary, as a film graduate I'd genuinely announce this as one of the best own-perspective stories of passion and love I've ever seen. I really enjoyed revisiting Streetpass thanks to your encouragement, and bonding with the 3DS in general all over again, and having my friends follow the Streetpass journey because of me, because of you! It was a lovely journey to be a part of. I like cats!

[crookedpinky]

Zion this was an unexpectedly heartwarming and inspiring video. The fact that you got to spend the year hanging out with so many people you love and making so many great memories is more valuable than any little digital puzzle piece. The feature was all about building connections between people both new and familiar and this journey only highlighted that amazing social power. More than inspiring me to bring my 3DS to new places it inspired me to travel to things like conventions and meet more like-minded people in new environments around the world. I commend you and I thank you!! Bravo!

[HackerBilly]

26:40 That's actually me and my friend Postman. I got the long hair and he's wearing the red hat
That was actually the last con I got to see him at before he passed away.
I know it was probably just random footage for you but thank you for sharing it.
It was really nice to see it just randomly watching a video

[jemilumanzor]

This documentary is a special video considering the 3DS was abandoned but the effort of one single person made many of us try again streetpass and it was an awesome journey. Besides game reviews, discussions and even gameplays, this type of videos are a nice way to show anpersonal view on gaming and how it affects us as people. Zion, you did a wonderful job with this video and honestly this was a nice way to see through your point of view the journey of streetpass. 👍🏻

one and a half years in the making wow this is like a real documentary!

StreetPassing yourself into oblivion is a mood - Craig

[curtomatic]

I haven't truly enjoyed a YouTube documentary basically ever, but now that has changed. This was super well made, and an incredible story that warms my heart. Seeing the community come together for such a simple goal was so fun to watch, and reminded me of why I love Nintendo in the first place. Cheers to Streetpass, and let's hope to see it brought back on the new console!

[Vashe]

It’s been so long since I’ve followed Zion on twitter and his silly adventures with his 3DS, and now it’s come full circle. This is going to be a great video, please share this with others to see Streetpass be in its glory once again!

[Phinnlow]

Really looking forward to this! Hope it causes, even a small, resurgence in streetpass!
