You may remember I went on and on about missing Swapnote/ Letterbox. Swapnote was a perfect example of something really great, developed with connecting the gaming community in mind. I think the developers at Nintendo didn’t think there would be people out there who wanted to use such an innocent app for not so innocent pictures or other perverse ways. Such a pity to see the service end.
Nintendo tried replacing it with MiiVerse, but somehow that never did it for me. MiiTomo for mobile looked promising, but didn’t deliver the same fun as Swapnote did. Although I must say, that the recent update added some real good features, like messaging with friends individually. And then, out of nowhere, today Swapdoodle is released in the Nintendo eShop in Europe and America (Thanks for the tip, Samira and Marc!)
And this new app is once again hosted by our old friend, Nikki! So sweet to see her little face again! 
Excellent news for me, finally I will get some more use out of my friend list in the 3DS. This is a free to start title, but with the right add-on, you can also draw more doodles per note, boost your note storage to over 6000, get more than 45 pen colors, and download stationaries featuring Nintendo characters. Of course, these add-ons cost money, but the drawing tutorials featuring popular Nintendo characters does sound kinda cool!
Swapdoodle doesn’t feature photo sharing. They say that it’s that feature that got the old Swapnote in trouble and culminated in ending the service. Let’s just hope Nintendo has got ways to weed out the weirdos that will no doubt try to disrupt things again.
Now you’ll have to excuse me, I’m going to get re-acquainted again with Nikki, and try out my drawing skills!
I’m glad that your favourite app is back 🙂
I’m super chuffed!
I didn’t get to play the original because I didn’t get a 3ds until after it was taken down, so this’ll be fun + the doodle lessons.
Not sure if you are in my friend list already. Wanna swap codes? Mine is 1306-5379-0048

Are there more people who want to share their friendcode?
Thanks for the tip Yvonne (and Samira and Marc)!
Ronja, have I asked you before if you wanted to join my ladies chat group on Facebook? Lots of like minded girls and women! Lots of friend codes too!
I do! I’m not online a lot, but usually reply when I am. Friend code is 3668-7300-1035. Angel and Yvonne, is it ok if I add you guys too?
Yes of course, I’ll add you!
Thank you!
Why am I not surprised that online sickos would find a way of using an innocent program for heinous things. Oh well, glad to hear that the App is back in a new form.
Me too, I’ll never understand those kind of weirdos. Still I’m glad Nikki has another go.
