Notice about service for Nintendo 3DS software Swapnote


2013-10-31
Thank you for your support.

Nintendo has learned that some consumers, including minors, have been exchanging their friend codes on Internet bulletin boards and then using Swapnote (known as Nintendo Letter Box in other regions) to exchange offensive material. Nintendo has been investigating ways of preventing this and determined it is best to stop the SpotPass feature of Swapnote because it allows direct exchange of photos and was actively misused.

Nintendo always wants to provide a positive experience for all consumers and limit the risk of any inappropriate activity or misuse of a service. We feel it is important on this occasion to take this action.

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.

Nintendo will continue to work to ensure more consumers are aware of our Parental Control features, which allow parents to manage their children’s experience on our systems. For more information, please click here.

  • Service stop date: Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013, 7 p.m. PT
  • Service being stopped: Nintendo 3DS software Swapnote – Sending and receiving notes using SpotPass
  • Affected regions: All regions where the service was offered

Special Notes services are also stopped

Nintendo made the online portion of the best way of communication on the 3DS cuz some greedy pervs!Whats your opinion on this? Its gonna be a hard to make trades with friends who live very distant from me :(

All that is being stopped is Swapnote. I don't see how this effects your trading with friends? It may effect your ability to communicate if you don't have their phone/some form of internet communication.

Honestly, how do I feel about it? The DS has always been geared towards a younger generation, and I would prefer that generation remain safe than exposed to pervs.

From what I know, what they meant is that the Spotpass feature is only disabled for Swapnotes. And sadly, greedy and silly people misusing things are the reason why we can't have nice things in the world.
