‘Swapnote’ Lives! Meet ‘Swapdoodle’!

Remember Swapnote for the Nintendo 3DS? Unless you had a 3DS from 2011 to 2013, you probably don’t.

Swapnote was a messaging application for the 3DS that let you send customized postcards in 3D to you and your friends. Kind of like how pen pals swap letters in between each other. The game was incredibly popular until Nintendo forcefully shut down the service 3 years ago due to people abusing the system’s camera functionality to send dick pics to each other. Well now Nintendo has (poorly) decided to give us another chance with its spiritual successor, Swapdoodle!

Swapdoodle is incredible similar to Swapnote, but does have some tweaks and changes here and there. For starters, the app is now more focused on a more artistic aspect of drawing as there is a much more diverse set of colors and line thickness. You can also purchase drawing lessons from an in game shop using real money and learn how to draw Nintendo characters while also grabbing some pretty cool stationary also. Check out the trailer below for the full details! What do you think of this comeback? Tell us in the comments below!
