[UPDATE] Swapnote/Letter Box

Published on 07-05-12 03:24 PM

Swapnote (also known as Letter Box in Europe) is a free application for the Nintendo 3DS. It allows people to send hand-drawn notes and pictures to other people wirelessly through SpotPass or locally through StreetPass. The free application also allows people to send short 15 second recordings as well. Anyways, there is a new update for it which grants people the option to select colors other than black. The colors available are red, orange, green, blue, and purple. To select the new colors, simply use the left and right directional buttons. Unfortunately, only one color can be used at a time.

-_- that is nice and all but they need to upgrade it so that people can download their messages faster, it takes forever downloading 20 notes at a time...well for me at least cause I have a bunch of friends :/

...first off, you can only send 5 sec recordings... and there is also a yellow color than you can draw with.

Or if they could just do something about the entire thing... It was a good idea, but... it's kind of pointless. You can't really chat, and I think the only fun thing about it is sending a dumb picture to my friend every now and then (which, really, I could easily live without doing).

They should also allow us to send longer sound clips

swap note in general is just retarded, compared to other messaging like on LIVE and PSN, who would want to use this? they really need to revamp this app or something...

I predict Voicechat. Inner Camera+Microphone= VOICE CHAT

Also to change colors, press on the + pad.

Just because I don't like something doesn't mean i cant read about it...I have a 3DS too so when there is an update i read about it, regardless of if i like it or not.
