The lack of an OS-level messaging system is puzzling, considering even the Wii had one. With terrible delays, but it was there.

Many things are puzzling when it comes to Nintendo and online. They can be extremely progressive at times, but they're usually ass backwards. I sometimes wonder if they're just trying to be different for the hell of it, even though they know their approach is stupid.

A great recent example is Pushmo. You can export your levels to QR codes. You can upload those QR codes to the internet directly from the built in browser, which is something I honestly didn't know or expect. You can also save images from the browser to your SD card. But you can't import a QR code directly from the browser, or your photo album. Makes no sense at all...


EDIT: Nintendo should also implement eShop and friend code URIs. Like "eshop://pushmo" to look up Pushmo on the eShop from within the browser or "wfc://1234-5678-9012/wsippel" to add someone to your friend list.

At launch even (?). The Nintendo OS team works in mysterious and cruel ways.

Not only can you send 3D pictures but you can write on them on two separate 3D planes, and you can fit them into loads of template letters (think Animal Crossing) before you make your animated messages, add audio, and send.

It is very lovely software.

Very cool, thanks.

I will be sending some pretty great 3d screenshots of hd games to folks on my friends list.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

When animal crossing come sout this must be integrated with the game messaging system.

Don't worry it leads nowhere.

 

[M3d10n]

Seems more like e-mail than chatting. At least should be useful for sharing pictures (not of my junk) with friends.

 

[Medalion]

[stone128]

Everyone who adds today is going a very limited photo of my junk.

Call me.

I guess 3DS will never get a real messaging system then, huh? *sigh* Nintendo should give up on trying to make "hardcore" systems. They're incapable of doing it.

 

[Mafro]

Going by Nintendo Life, it doesn't look like the Us is getting this today http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/12/nintendo_download_22nd_december_2011_north_america

[Lord Ghirahim]

I wonder if the server will have deleted the notes I've sent by the time my friends get this thing.

 

[stone128]

[:Motorbass]

[weeaboo]

Oh man, this app is awesome and full of Nintendo love

 

[Incitemaybe]

US doesn't get it?


Not cool noa, not cool.

 

[slaughterking]

Sent and received some letters. It's pretty cute und personal. I like it. :3

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

The letters I sent yesterday reached my friends today, so the server saves them for a while at least.

 

[weeaboo]

Received my first 3D penis

FUN !

 

[Neuromancer]

US doesn't get it?


Not cool noa, not cool.

Yeah what the fuck.

Also was this free?

 

[VOOK]

Received my first 3D penis

[Lord Ghirahim]

[BowieZ]

So what format do audio recordings need to be saved to the SD card as?

 

[weeaboo]

Yeah what the fuck.

Also was this free?

It's free

 

[lolez2matt]

So NOA has become the NOE of the past

 

[vitacola]

Is there an option which auto refreshs the message inbox? I'm already a bit tired to refresh it manually.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

So NOA has become the NOE of the past

Nope. It is up on the US store now.

 

[Inferno313]

So NOA has become the NOE of the past

I'm downloading Swapnote on my US 3DS right now.

 

[Neuromancer]

Nope. It is up on the US store now.

Bitchin'!

 

[mario_O]

So how do you do the audio recordings? I cant see the option in the app

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

THIS, A HUNDRED TIMES THIS
Also, what's up with the 300 coin limit overall?

If Nintendo would change this the coins economy would be as broken as the economy in a Zelda game. There isn't simply that much to do with them at this point.

Edit: Nikki <3

 

[TyRaNtM]

Yes, is now in US eShop!

 

[Kai Dracon]

Just got it in the US and you know - even if it's not OS level, or rather multitasking (since Spotpass is OS and always on - don't forget that), this is a really great app. You can actually do a lot with it and it basically is the full messaging system 3DS needed.

Its only limitation is you can't write messages while a game is paused. Ok, fine, that is needed. Otherwise, great app and useful, thanks to spotpass always queuing messages in the background.

 

[Inferno313]

For anyone who wants to do some Swappin' my FC is: 1676-3675-9388

 

[Incitemaybe]

Yes, is now in US eShop!

I wonder why they were so silent about it.

Well, I'm happy now!

 

[Bullza2o]

Getting it now! Finally I can tell my friends on 3DS that I want to play some MK7 online. That said, I need more friends on 3DS :\
