I love this story. Walking around the big convention DragonCon in Atlanta a decade ago would fill up your StreetPass faster than you could possibly play through the games. It was really fun. I bet this could remain a trend within video game conferences if you made a push for it.

I'm really compelled by the fact that this is a peer-to-peer system, and therefore durable to the whims of a company not wanting to pay for server upkeep. That feels rare and special, and worth preserving in spirit.

I wonder if the Playdate can do something like this...

I would love if Nintendo had some Streetpass successor in the next Switch. I would gladly carry around a joycon or something like the Pokeball Plus for it to work
