Nintendo has long been so difficult - one might say backwards - about online gaming and connectivity outside direct face-to-face interaction. but I called and left some (polite, constructive) criticism and I would encourage others to do the same. Numbers are slightly different from Canada. You KNOW it's only a matter of time.įor those who are upset about Swapnote - Call 1-80, choose option 2, then option 3. I can't wait until they remove the Wii U's video conferencing ability because someone chooses to expose themselves to a minor they're friended-to on it. It sucks for everyone who's using your things properly and productively. Don't take half-steps and half-measures then get a fussy when some idiots don't play nice. Either get your **** together or don't even bother being connected whatsoever. They're only as good as they allow themselves to be and even then, what is good is so abstract anyway that this whole situation is ultimately pointless. It's not going to get better because people are not going to get better. It sucks for everyone who's using your things properly and productively.Īnd if Friend Codes were designed to deter degenerates from this kind of nonsense, good job, Nintendo, that idea failed, but no one needed to see it fail in practice to figure that out.

Either get your shit together or don't even bother being connected whatsoever. It's that kind of faulty logic that makes this especially frustrating and I didn't even really use Swapnote.Īnd if Friend Codes were designed to deter degenerates from this kind of nonsense, good job, Nintendo, that idea failed, but no one needed to see it fail in practice to figure that out.

I can break someone's jaw by swinging a Wii U into it, better stop production immediately. What's really happening is that every time someone somewhere used Nintendo's services inappropriately, Nintendo is just going say, "Well, we just won't have that anymore." Why even go through the trouble of offering new products and services ever then? Don't even fucking bother if you're going to shy away at the first sign of trouble. The part that gets me is where people first had to trade Friend Codes with minors online before exposing them to offensive material on Swapnote so essentially, Nintendo is assuming responsibility for people's behavior outside of their sphere of influence then punishing everyone for it. There is no word as to whether Wii U communications will be affected. The company will continue to raise awareness of the 3DS parental control options, but at this time a reactivation of either service seems unlikely. Nintendo has offered an apology to those who actively used both applications responsibly. StreetPass functionality remains intact, though of limited use since it only functions for friends who pass by each other physically, and only one note can be set for transmission at a time. Swapnote Special Notes with custom stationery, often sent from Nintendo to promote new games, will also no longer be sent. The decision was made after Nintendo discovered that some people had been exchanging friend codes with minors online, then sending offensive material to them through the two 3DS messaging services. Flipnote Studio 3D, which was so far only released in Japan but had been set for a future release in the West, shares the same fate.

Nintendo's 3DS message relay service, known as Swapnote in the USA and Nintendo Letter Box in other regions, has had its SpotPass functionality disabled abruptly and permanently, essentially terminating the application.
