Earlier this week, the 3DS and Wii U eShops were shut down. It was a sad time for all of us. I spent last weekend feeling a little sentimental about all the great games that many people lose when trying to download. As many titles as possible (not from personal experience, of course).

That’s the exact question our lovely video producer Zion tried to answer this week. As many of you may know, Zion has been publicly promoting the revival of StreetPass since his early 2023. This year he hosted a StreetPass event at PAX West. Aside from giving us an update on how this journey has progressed so far, our latest video explores the reality of his Streetpass in 2023, how the eShop closure affected functionality, And it describes what the future will look like.
