The Swapdoodle game is an easy way to write messages, draw 3D pictures, and share them with your Nintendo 3DS friends.

Swapping doodles is a snap thanks to stamps based on the icons of played titles and your Mii character. You can also purchase in-game add-ons packs that have doodle lessons of Nintendo characters!

Doodle lessons allow you to trace beloved Nintendo characters from the Super Mario series, The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, and more! With the right add-on, you can also draw more doodles per note, boost your note storage to over 6000, get more than 45 pen colors, and download stationaries featuring Nintendo characters. Put a piece of yourself in your art by sticking on a Mii face with various emotions to choose from. It's also possible to share in-game screenshots with friends who also have the game and even create secret pages that are hidden until your friend replies. It's always fun to see what doodles your friends are swapping!

Add-on content

Your Swapdoodle experience can be expanded with a range of add-on content packs, available to purchase from the Lesson Store within Swapdoodle. You could breathe some colour into your creations, liven up your notes with different stationery options and much more!

Some packs feature doodle lessons, so you can take your scribbles to the next level! Each lesson features its own theme, like Splatoon, Animal Crossing or The Legend of Zelda, so you can learn how to draw fan-favourite characters like a pro.

If youre not sure which pack to download, you can always try out a Trial Mode, free of charge. The Trial Mode will let you try your hand at one of the doodle lessons included, though you wont be able to save your progress.

Just like its predecessor Swapnote (known as Nintendo Letter Box in PAL regions but who likes that title?) Swapdoodle allows you to share your doodles, game screenshots and messages to your 3DS friends, and it's a far more enjoyable experience for it. So do feel free to share your 3DS friend codes to add fellow gaffers, I have created a spreadsheet for this very purpose.

Let's be friends!

NeoGAF Swapdoodle Spreadsheet

Don't forget to let people know you've added them by sending them a PM.

(I don't have much experience with setting up spreadsheets using Google Docs so I might have made some mistakes here. Do let me know if I have.)

Note: I apologize for the copy and paste job, I didn't have much free time. I hope you still enjoy this OT though! I honestly don't know if there's enough interest for this, but that doesn't matter, I enjoyed Swapnote too much to not give this a go.

Feel free to let me know by PM if I need to change something.

Nikki is the queen.

Happy doodling! <3

JazzmanZ · Nov 21, 2016

I can't believe swapnote is back

NOLA_Gaffer · Nov 21, 2016

Out of fucking nowhere, man.

Ashodin · Nov 21, 2016

subbed. Swapnote GAF was some of the best times <3

KojiKnight · Nov 21, 2016

Welcome back swap note, may pedophiles never keep you down.

MrBS · Nov 21, 2016

MrsBS and I were overjoyed to see the triumphant return of Nikki. So good. We've been sending messages to each other all weekend lol

Ysarus · Nov 21, 2016

Whoa! Where did that come from?

Mephala · Nov 21, 2016

I need this with pokemon package.

I always liked doodling on the 3DS and Wii U. Good time to dust off my 3DS. Time to be a Mayor in AC again too.

Teknoman · Nov 21, 2016

Too bad there isnt the open uploadability like swapnote... Or can friends of friends view them as well?

nny · Nov 21, 2016

Swapnote Gaf was great, I hope this turns out fun as well!

Joqu · Nov 21, 2016

Ysarus said:

Yeah, Nintendo just released it out of nowhere a few days ago, no fanfare or anything. The OT's late though :/

Teknoman said:

I honestly don't remember how Swapnote handled this stuff but I don't believe so, no. Doodle's definitely more restricted than it though. No photos (but that's probably a good thing...) and I believe you have to add 3DS friends in-game to open up certain interaction options?

BGBW · Nov 21, 2016

Need to work out who is actually active/still has me on my friendlist.

With Swapnote you could see who actually received your note which was a good way of finding out the latter.

Bit cruddy that the thick pen is behind a monetary wall. Should be a basic feature.

Will miss adding sound bites too. That was a great way to add a bit of character to the note.

Miroku129 · Nov 21, 2016

Amazing OT Scarl, thanks

DoodleGAF is back!

Platy · Nov 21, 2016

Will download sometime this week ... lets see how much work I have ><

neto · Nov 22, 2016

I finally got time to download this, here is my friend code if anyone wants to add me 2852-7459-4308, just tell me to add you back!
I am also on the spreadsheet and I added you op!
Let's doodle

Roto13 · Nov 22, 2016

Managed to send out a picture of a butt by making it an Animal Crossing pattern, covering the walls and floor with it, and taking a screenshot. Reception has been lukewarm at best.

NoKisum · Nov 22, 2016

Can you type messages as well? My handwriting has never been the best.

Loptous · Nov 22, 2016

Do people get a notification if you send them a message while they don't have the app installed?

Persona7 · Nov 22, 2016

How is this different from swap note? I need to turn on 2.4Ghz to download it.

Lord Ghirahim · Nov 22, 2016

Japan finally got Swapdoodle today.

-shadow- · Nov 22, 2016

I actually hoped they'd update Miiverse to include a bunch of the extras that this/Swapnote had. But I guess this'll do. I still have the Letterbox installed with a bunch of amazing and really wrong drawings shared between me and a couple of friends 😂

Persona7 said:

It's pretty much the same just minus the screenshot/photo option from what I've seen.

Dingens · Nov 22, 2016

downloaded it today. I'm sure I've still most of the old swap note crew on my friends list. too bad the system doesn't really give you any indication if that's also true for the other side...
is there any way you can tell?
or do I have to go through every single code and check? (got 100 friends, so I need to delete people "inactive", but I'd hate if I deleted someone who's active by accident only to add them again later on)

It's essentially a relaunch with newer pen colors, stationary, drawing lessons, additional pen types (like glitter pens), and the removal of the snapshot sharing functionality, which was essentially the reason why Swapnote was disabled in the first place.

The old trick of sending a swapnote to everyone and then seeing who received it doesn't seem to work so you may have to resort to the old method of removing someone and re-adding them.

Fewr · Nov 22, 2016

I send my notes to all my contacts. After about a week of no response I'll start deleting people one by one in order to make space for the new gen of swap note friends.

Joqu · Nov 22, 2016

Yeah, I have a lot of people added on 3DS and I don't know how many of them might be using this thing, sucks there isn't some indication. So for now I'm just sending notes to everyone. If I don't get any signs of live out of them after a while I'll just go on a removing spree, I barely remember who half of them are.

Well at least someone's using the spreadsheet.

It's okay though, it makes my friend code nice and visible

But yeah, feel free to use the spreadsheet everyone. It'd make it easier for me to remember GAF usernames of the people I've added

(I added you back of course.)

I wish! My handwriting is a mess too so it's a struggle making legible messages. Takes me way too long. >.>

piggychan · Nov 23, 2016

Been mostly responding to other friends doodles. Mostly ACNL related.

Dingens · Nov 24, 2016

so... you can only store 200 messages... srsly?
I'm going to fill that up within a month (and no, why should I pay for something like that?!)
also paid stationeries? the fun of the old one was to collect them from random people... but this just rubs me the wrong way.

The free DLC adds 100 more messages to the storage, for what it's worth.

Dingens · Nov 24, 2016

that's almost insulting as far as I'm concerned
They should've made an it an option to pay for this stuff with mynintendo coins, preferably the silver ones.

You're like those kids who go on Miiverse and complain that Nintendo Badge Arcade costs money instead of play coins.

Fewr · Nov 25, 2016

I've bought a couple of packs. They're ok.
I got the Nintendo premium pack and the cute animals lessons. If they do a Pokémon pack I'll get that too.

Fireblend · Nov 25, 2016

Is there no way to take a screenshot I can share of the drawings I make? That kinda sucks.

Fewr · Nov 25, 2016

Take a video or photo of it, post it on twitter. That's what I've seen people do.

I haven't tried, but can't they be saved on miiverse?
I'll try later

Just to be clear, I meant with your phone and then post it from there.

Never mind, I see that we have become pals.

no, I'm more like the guy who goes on Neogaf and complains that Nintendo is artificially putting something behind a pay-wall that, in reality, is only limited by one thing: the size of your SD card.

Also, what's badge arcade?

RpgN · Nov 26, 2016

^
Another free to play Nintendo Eshop game with micro transactions I think. It's about collecting stickers and using them in the main menu.

I do think that Nintendo did go too far with Swapdoodle. Offering lessons is fine. But the rest should have been free. Offering premium colours might still be okay but they need to be much cheaper.

It's sad to see Nintendo taking advantage of what has been missed and what is essentially a message system that is not available on the 3DS.

Compsiox · Nov 26, 2016

Damn, Nintendo all about those micros these days.

Yeah, one try free per day.

Mi fc is 2020-1041-4608

I will add everyone and add myself in the list!

Roto13 said:

I disagree
Colours, stationeries, lessons, whatever required at least some kind of development effort. They ADD something to the software.
The amount of letters you can store is, as I said, only limited by your SD card. Putting an additional limit on it is artificial. You are not adding anything by removing the barrier with money - you're just removing the barrier.

Thanks, I just DLed it.

I added you.

I'm looking to add others, so don't be shy

You can find me in the list.

RpgN · Dec 3, 2016

Edit: sorry, DP by accident.

Anustart · Dec 18, 2016

Would like to try this. But for some dumb reason I have to submit a request to nintendo for approval because it thinks I'm a minor or something.

Submitted the email about 2 weeks ago. Still no reply. Aww yeah, one of the months I'll finally be able to doodle! Fuck this shit.
