Switch Online, Nintendo

5 Games That Should be Switch Online Exclusives Like Tetris 99

StreetPass Bundle

Switch Online

For the multitude of Nintendo fans who owned a 3DS, StreetPass was a reason to get out of the house. Collecting the pieces for Puzzle Swap and building an army of friends in Find Mii were tasks that required months of grinding to complete. 

For small titles, there was a surprising amount of dedication needed to complete the games. 

These StreetPass titles from 3DS could find a home on the Switch Online service. The one big problem is that the Switch doesn’t have the same ability of passive communication (as far as we know) that the 3DS has.

This is where the Nintendo Switch Online App comes into play. Now before you finish that groan, hear me out. Even if they could add a Streetpass-like feature to the Switch, it wouldn’t be ideal to bring your console with you everywhere.

 The mobile app could be used to connect with other Switch owners. Nintendo could even bring back StreetPass hotspots at places like McDonald’s, Barnes and Noble, and Best Buy. 

When it comes to online features, they could add a daily online StreetPass feature that lets you communicate with a certain number of friends each day over the internet. Not everyone lives in cities with high population density. 

This could easily combat that issue for Switch owners in rural areas. 

This one is probably the least likely of the bunch, but it would be a welcome addition to Switch Online.
