      1. I’m not from the States so I can’t check, but it’s available here in the UK. I just went onto the Nintendo 3DS eShop and it was the first thing highlighted to download. Need to test it out now!

  1. If you live in NA, then you should always check around noon. That’s when the new additions become available on the eShop (in CA, that is).

    Btw, is everyone so excited over the messaging system that they’ve forgotten about Mighty Switch Force? It also arrives today, you know. I think Europe or Japan will get Prince of Persia GBC, too.

      1. I’m brazilian. =)
        The Swapnote should come with Might Switch Force and Tetris (virtual console)
        I hope it don’t take day long!

  2. Omg I waited all day last night and no update I set my alarm at 8 thinking maybe it will be updated in the morning but NO!!!! This blows! As of 8:03am in California. There’s no swap note! Hurry up with that update Nintendo. … Ohhh and by the way did any1 else get this random update? I got it yesterday afternoon I thought it was going to be the swap note so I was exited but no.. I was very disappointed when I didn’t see no swap note after the update

  3. anyone figured out how to do 3D drawings? Either it’s not in there yet or I’m an idiot, but I have checked everything and can’t figure it out

  4. Okay, so i’ve downloaded it now and started drawing some letters.. except… I cannot figure out how to draw on a differant 3D layer, I seem to be able to do one, and I’ve tried all the buttons on the 3DS and on the touch screen D:

        1. Yup, by sending letters. You can unlock stationery, 3D drawing, recordings and photos (well that’s what I have so far).

    1. Hi my name is ryan and i just wanted to give u my 3ds friend code so we could chat, it’s 1332-7783-0788 can u pls add your friend code.See u :)

  5. Why is everyone in North America freaking out? The store always updates at the same time so 12pm ET which means in 43 minutes from now…

      1. That and I’m not sure why people are even excited about this. It’s not even that great and still not what most of us wanted…

        1. I must agree but even so, it will be a nice app. You’ll see, my girlfriend also has a 3DS and it will be nice for me to send here Kitty drawings or stuff. Yes it would have been much more better a real chat system, but still there are many uses for this to be a little exited ;)

          1. Well there’s no doubt it’ll be a bit fun, plus it’s free so we can’t complain TOO much, but it’s just that I expect a lot of disappointed people when they see this is far from being an actual chat system.

    1. People from Europe actually had to wait until 5 p.m. and NOE has it now (not even remotely close to 5 p.m.). It’s like when japan gets update at midnight (because it’s not midnight for them), people who work at Nintendo of Europe/America won’t go to work at midnight because you are jealous of some other country.

      1. Yeah, I assume that it’s just busy because it’s a big day for downloads and a lot of people are getting on. Does anyone know how well it works internationally?

        1. Its not pointless… I mean, Every week we got refreshing titles from E-shop and online incoming features looks promissing…

  6. It’s called Swapnote here in the states. Good thing my cousin just got a 3DS last night, now I finally have a friend for it

          1. I see you saw my past comment about you being an imposter, So now youre stating you’re the real one ((Although the real Peteriuss wouldn’t have to state that he himself is real)) XD

  8. Hey, i’m sorta new at this, so i was wondering if i could be friends with some people on here (god, this sounds like spam, but thats how much of a noob i am T_T)

    My name is Sonny, Friend Code: 2406-5451-8053
