Nintendo Swapnote shutdown world-wide

[gamefan5]

Damn, that article is hilarious.

We are such barbarians and unculturated urchins to them XD

 

[Kippykip]

Well this sucks

I was hoping when I clicked on this thread that people (and by people, I mean you guys) would support this.

You were hoping we would support a draconian shutdown of a used service based on a "Won't somebody please think of the children" argument? I don't even know where to begin...

i loved so much nikki.... wtf, why can't i trade penises with my 18+ friends?

nintendo is a lot hypocrite , i don't see nintendo using this escuse: "we gonna stop making consoles because they get modded\hacked"

parents should know how to use parental controls, and nintendo should have a better parental control settings and moderation, the shutdown is just an excuse to stop making things for free... i am surprised they don't charge the spot pass service like pokemon bank

i don't have kids. If i had, i wouldn't like my kids exchanging inappropriate stuff, but hey, its my fault as a parent if my kid does it, and its I am who should put my kid grounded for do it, if other kids would share this stuff with my own kid. i just had to go on parental settings and remove them and make their parents know what they are doing

nintendo is not the right person who should "control" my kids, it is my responsibility as a parent to do it so...

about the friend codes on the internet, make the friend code options inside the parental options, so my kid wouldn't be able to "see it" or add more friends without my concern

this is all an excuse for something else...

make the app a payed app, this would be a much better ideia.

come on, i see rat poison available on the stores, people had killed my cats with rat poison, people kill others with it, or suicide, but i dont see anyone removing the rat poison from the market because some people abuse it...

I just bought a 3DS so I didnt use it a all :/

 

[emigre]

At least I don't have to deal with xxxwatchmanxxx's disturbing Zelda pr0n.

Soon Nintendo will remove the 3ds and Wii u web browser and YouTube app, because they is "inappropriate content" there.

Well, that means Swapnote is now useless for me, since Streetpassing where i live is rare. I maybe get what ? 2 streetpass every 3 weeks

[filfat]

oh, now it makes sense what swapnote is, why don't just call it the same in all regions and letter box sounds 100x better XD

 

[loco365]

what??

If Nintendo did that, it'd be suicide.

come on hackers, you can do a swapnote\letterbox server >:C y u no make server for smea CFW?

 

[omgpwn666]

Somewhere in the world, a minor wont see a penis today.

 

[Deleted-236924]

I deleted the app, but I kept the save data backup.
I never used those extra stationaries (or swapnote, for the matter,) but you never know!

i dont find petitions effective :/

Yeah, sure, it's all for the children...

Spoiler

In reality, it's because swapnote contained an exploit that is currently being used by a certain gbatemper in order to hack the 3ds.

Uhm, if that is the reason, why not just release a mandatory update?

I've never gotten a swapnote from anyone but nintendo before, so this doesn't affect me in the slightest. I am disappointed though. Here's hoping they bring it back with some parental stuff over-top.
