    Even though I live in a fairly large city, I’m not ever really in a situation where I’m likely to pass a lot of other people who also brought the console with Street Pass turned on.

    As such, I used the router hack to fake it. That was awesome, but I mostly enjoyed the free stuff I was getting, since it really had nothing to do with other people. That basically means the game would have been better off with just giving out free stuff randomly instead.

    Of all the games I play with “Street Pass”, none of them really made sense of that feature. It was either required to play the game (which was lame) or it was free stuff for a game that should be perfectly fine without it.

    I definitely wouldn’t call it exciting, but it was novel and somewhat cool… At least as an idea.
