Goodbye Swapnote.
Minutes ago, Nintendo shutdown the deliver of Swapnote messages due to the number of underage users and the amount of inappropriate material being shared.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience to the many consumers who have been using this service responsibly; however this decision was made considering the point that many minors also use this feature of Swapnote. Thank you for your understanding.
This is a pretty poor move on N's part. The internet is filled with inappropriate material, and you cant hold our hands forever. It doesn't seem like nintendo is making many strides forward in this new generation of gaming. The accounts systems, lingering friends codes, and now this.
I thought the service was a glorified text messages system or a painful black/white 3d MS Paint program. I can see this affecting users all over the 3DS grid, but not me really. Sorry Chavo, I was looking forward to the end of your story and the drawing of our favorite pokemon.
