oh heck I've never seen this before!

the calendar seems to get a special effect too. Also Pokémon, of course, has a whole jingle, animation and special greeting!

I always forget to do this and it doesn't feel right to lie to the game

hop on Pictochat

00:00/00:00

@Nine close-range wireless chat? birthday messages?

@noiob i was meaning like a a bigger, global pictochat. like, shit, if nintendo is gona abandon such a rad fuckin thing, then fuck it it doesn't deserve it. we should have it.

@Nine I mean the whole point of Pictochat is that it works within wifi range

they did have Swapnote later which was global and let you draw fun messages for your friends!

@noiob yeah they also killed that. Guess they were cosplaying as Google at the time

@Nine I mean, 3DS online services were always gonna get shut down eventually. I'm sure it still works with Pretendo, just like Wii Mail does

@noiob nahnah, Swapnote got killed long before the death of the 3ds. :/ Flipnote too, or at least the original one did.

@noiob @Nine I always wondered if there was some security problem with these local area instant wireless connectivity features, or if developing everything for the fucking cloud was just more profitable.

Imagine a healthy mobile games market with these features. Oh my god, that would be so awesome.
(In case you wonder why almost no app has sth. like it: Google and Apple build rivaling & patented standards for it that are purposefully not interoperable = nobody really uses it).

@Natanox @Nine Streetpass had a RCE vuln at some point iirc
