I received a notification early this morning that Nintendo is ending SwapNote service effective immediately. They will also no longer send official messages to users via Swapnote spotpass. (Boo, I liked collecting the stationary). I'm assuming, but I haven't tried it, that the app can still be used locally, just not via the internet.

The notice explains that they were unhappy with users exchanging friend codes on internet forums. It also explained that minors could send or receive obscene photo attachments as the reason for the removal of service. It went on to say that service will not recommence.

Personally I'm really disappointed. I enjoyed sending people stupid doodles. In the US, street pass is basically useless. None of my friends live anywhere remotely near me anymore. I can't help but feel simply disabling the photo attachment feature of swapnote would have been sufficient, but I guess they're trying to cover as much of their butts up so not to be associated with child porn or any media sensation around it.

It was fun while it lasted SwapNote. May ye rest in peace.

they had one job...



maybe nintendo should have disabled the picture taking part of the notes program. oh well goodnight sweet prince.

This wasn't surprising at all, but... i am sad about it. Not that I really used it much, but just the fact that people would do that. Blah blah blah, it's the internet, blah blah blah. I know. It makes people act immature. I guess I just get annoyed when I hear about people doing crap to kids

theres a rumor that nintendo is going to bring miiverse to the 3ds, which has similar features to swapnote so theres some hope.

that would be cool, specially if I can link my wiiu account to my 3ds account.
