Took them long enough.

Took them long enough.

Haha yeah but I'm so glad to finally have this feature. But I hope all the other communities for the other 3DS games become available soon. I seriously want a Fire Emblem: Awakening, Kingdom Hearts 3D: DDD, and Star Fox 64 community. Hurry and make it happen Nintendo.

It's nothing special.

i have my 3ds updated but it wont let me go on the eshop on the 3ds :sad:

I'm hoping for a Rune Factory 4 community. So far they only have two communities of which I have games for (Pokemon and Monster Hunter), and that upsets me a little. I say communities for ALL the games!

It's nothing special.

At least it's there and done instead of being left and undone

I just said even if it isn't that special at least it's now available instead of having nothing after removing Swapnote from the e-shop
