StreetPass is a communication system and core feature of the Nintendo 3DS line of game consoles. It passively exchanges information between consoles when they pass by each other in sleep mode, affording the player unique bonuses in various games which support the feature. It was inspired by the "Tag Mode" multiplayer feature of the Nintendo DS game Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies, which exchanged treasure maps with other players that led to rare items and monsters.[1]

Game Appearances

Shin Megami Tensei IV

StreetPass functionality in Shin Megami Tensei IV is unlocked after purchasing the Digital Demon Service app in-game. StreetPass tags with other Shin Megami Tensei IV players will grant the player bonus app points and the ability to perform special fusions.[2] Up to 12 StreetPass tags for the game can be stored at a time.

Players can attach a Demon that they own to a card, losing access to that Demon in the process. A player can set their card to be white or black, with white cards having the attached Demon's stats be increased for each tag and black cards having the attached Demon be fused at random for each tag. Demons attached to cards will also collect items as gifts for the player, regardless of the card's color. In addition, the Digital Demon Service app can be used in battle to perform a special Assist attack, with its power varying depending on the number of accumulated StreetPass tags.[3]

An update released for the game will grant players additional app points for connecting with systems who are playing Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers or Etrian Odyssey IV.[4].
