Nintendo had a bit of a surprise for us this morning in the form of a new messaging application for the 3DS. Similar to the once popular Swapnote, the all new Swapdoodle allows you to send and receive 3D doodles and in-game screenshots of select 3DS titles. Swapdoodle is available, free of charge, in the U.K. and U.S. eShop.
You can check out the debut trailer and press release below.
Swapping doodles is a snap thanks to stamps based on the icons of played titles and your Mii™ character. You can also purchase in-game add-ons packs that have doodle lessons of Nintendo characters!
Doodle lessons allow you to trace beloved Nintendo characters from the Super Mario™ series, The Legend of Zelda™, Splatoon™, and more! 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. Put a piece of yourself in your art by sticking on a Mii face with various emotions to choose from. It’s also possible to share in-game screenshots with friends who also have the game and even create secret pages that are hidden until your friend replies. It’s always fun to see what doodles your friends are swapping!
