Swap Note

IrishNinja & ryan-ts , I have added you to the master FC list [post #1361]

I just got a note from someone with a new piece of Stationary. It seems you can only get it if someone else sends it to you. pretty bananas!

Oh I did not know it was only available like that! I had better spam everyone on my FC list with it then! :)

It's from a New Years Swapnote that Nintendo sent out in Japan. Once you receive it, you get the stationary to use for yourself. And if you send it to someone else, they get it to use as well, regardless of their region. So I guess that makes this the first Swapnote DLC.

Ah, thanks Tyeforce :).

No. I got notes with stationaries I haven't bought yet, and they're still locked. This is for stationaries which aren't listed anywhere. It's likely that notes can contain attached stationaries too, so they are probably not hidden in the software and Nintendo can add as many new ones as they want, virally.

I like the sound of that! :)

Gotta say, Mistle makes some very impressive drawings. So do most other GAFers, but his ones always stand out.

Yes, Mistle is a talented cartoonist and it's always a delight to receive his penwork :).

For anyone who wants it, here's the official Nikki Mii that was sent out via SpotPass in Japan by Nintendo:

WANT! Thanks again sir :).

okay so i got the stationary, no idea how to use it! thanks again jimbojones, and also, your drawings are awesome but how the hell are you getting sound effects into them?! shit's killing me, haha

You unlock the ability to use different stationary and add audio sample to your notes as you use Swap Note more. Hint: send more original notes from you to other people. Just replying to theirs doesn't seem to unlock stuff.

I love this app, I've had way too much fun in it over the last few days creating a few short comics that make me LOL.

But before I add my FC to the mix(I'm sure most people don't have anymore room), I just want to know who is supplying all the best swapnote messages?


Sneaky! :)

I have plenty of room on my FC list and I'm sure there are plenty more who do, especially the newcomers to the thread. Feel free to add me :).

As for who is providing the best swap notes, I guess it's a question of what you want. I read through the thread and added those who I thought would give me good drawings and/or smut! :) YMMV

I stopped all gaming for this app, effectively making my 3DS a $169 SwapNote machine. So fun!

I'll add my FC to the list when I get home!

Me too! My 3DS has become a Swap Note and Pullblox machine with the odd few levels of SM3DL for variety [but mostly because that happens to be the game cart already in the system].
 
someone named alex send me a drawing of a bird saying "oh my fffffucking gawd" in a demonic voice. cannot stop laughing.

thanks man, i appreciate it! added myself to GAF's master list of codes too, as well as anyone in this thread who said they added me - be sure to do so or PM, no way of knowing otherwise!
off to check swapnote. i get what ami was saying about this being old-school, but watching the drawings happen is a really cool breather between mario kart bouts, heh.
 
I got my 3DS back a few days ago, and I'm hopelessly addicted to this program.
Feel free to add me (fc via pm) and I'll be happy to spam you too.
 
This thing's fun and all, but am I the only one who kind of just wanted a normal messaging application within the OS? I don't care about all these stencils and junk, or the incredibly cluttered way to sort through messages.

No ur not the only one

This is why the Wii U app store is going to be not what people expected

The two shouldn't be exclusive. No OS-level messaging is annoying and should be rectified, but this is something quite different.
 
My list is getting full, this is my shorthand list of the people I've added and got no reply. Please add me if you see your name and haven't. My FC is 2836-0183-3598.
Thanks

Very cool how the drawing is displayed in the way you were drawing. Can make kind of 1-page short history.

I added you and you PM box is full
 
I've added you back @Fewr! Sorry for reading your comment late.

I'd just like to mention that I stopped following this thread a while ago, can't believe it's still active! If there is anyone who still wants to add me, it might be better to send a PM now. I'm going to read through the last two pages and that's going to be the last for a while.

BGBW 1934-0650-4686

Just a reminder I got everyone in this list

3265 5080 2410

Too many codes... too lazy...

Anyway, added those (for now), my code:
4468-1159-6662

Hope you can add me back.

Added you two back. Both your Miis are scarily similar or my 3DS didn't download the Mii data properly.

And I suggest it isn't the best idea to work your way down an alphabetical list. Poor people at the bottom deserve some love too.
 
Kind of a ghetto sharing solution, but hey, whatever!

If you wanna swap FC's, send me a PM!
 
I hope nobody's sending Swapnotes that make anyone uncomfortable!

So I just started playing around with this, and it's interesting. How does Nintendo have a way of making something like the bot that tells you how to use the app have so much character? I can see why people love Nikki. Hell, I didn't even put that in quotes.
 
I have added everyone that said they added me from the last few pages. If anyone else wants to add me let me know so I can add you back!

I got a flood of notes when I got back home. I had wanted to send out pictures from my vacation while I was there, but there were like no hotspots for my 3DS to connect to.

I took a bunch of photos of the Bellagio fountains, but I didn't want to send too many cuz it'd be spammy.
 
Is there any way to confirm that your message has been sent? I got a message, and I tried to respond. When I look at the "chain" of letters, there's still a "Send" bubble over my reply. I already sent it, I thought.

I sent by Spotpass, and even checked my Spotpass delivery but it said there was nothing to send. Was it already sent? Will the message get a blue border when it's sent or when it's received?

How does Nintendo make this so complicated?

You save messages to your sim card. The send button simply sends them. You can send as many times as you want. The bubble means that there was a reply to the original note.

When you try to send again, people that already received the message will have an envelope next to their name!

btw I need more friends! :D I'm lonely

3952-7033-3602

Only at 15/100 friends LOL

Thanks. Since you were so kind, I'd love to be your 3DS friend. Here's my code:

Anyone else who wants to be friends, please PM me!
 
you guys are too good at my guess the shape games ._. lol. i seriously send one out, then before i know it i have like 100 correct replies.

I did find it funny that somebody knew "the ghost from Paper Mario" but not the name, which is the same situation as in the game where you have to find his name :P

Need to pump up the difficulty to European Extreme!
 
I just wrote a note and sent it and after exiting Swap Note I realized the wifi switch was off. I turned the wifi switch on and left the 3DS in sleep for a while, and seems my note got sent after all. I always though the app could only send data directly, but it seems SpotPass can be used to upload data in background in the same way it can download even if the app isn't running.

It'll be cool when games start using such features for sharing user-created content.
