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.

Ah, back when Nintendo mastered the concept of using proven, slightly older technology, in genuine amusing and fun ways. The 3DS had StreetPass, Download Play, free AR games, a free Flipnote animation app, a sound editor, several hidden easter eggs, an interface that had themes and badges and trinkets.
Now you get a flat, soul-less interface with a lot, and I do mean a lot, of updates trying to stop pirates. They do not work. The browser also does not work. You’re getting sued for mentioning Nintendo in this post without the proper license, by the way.
When I got a Switch I was looking forward to those fun quirky menus Nintendo is known for. Imagine my disappointment when I turned it on for the first time.

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.

Thanks. Looks like an interesting adaptation.
I miss playing heartgold on my old ds 😔

What’s with that instance? Has a lot of stolen videos. Wonder if it’d be a good idea to tell the creators that they’re being used for some web3 scam.
From what I understand they are all partners. I’ve had a couple respond to my comments. I hope it’s not stolen.
