StreetPass Relay Stations will soon be a thing of the past in Japan. Today, Nintendo announced that the service will end on March 28. StreetPass itself will still remain functional, but the stations will not.
When a 3DS owner stops by, StreetPass Relay Stations temporarily store their data for games at places such as Nintendo Zones. Then when another person with a system passes by the same relay point, their StreetPass information can transfer over. It’s essentially a passive way of using the 3DS’ StreetPass feature.
