Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced during his Nintendo Direct conference that the company will use Nintendo Letter Box to send game-related messages to 3DS owners.
Interestingly the service can target players of specific games — indeed, players of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D in Europe should keep their eyes peeled for a special Zelda-related note coming through the digital letterbox very soon.
A smart way to target interested players? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Very good idea, swapnote has a great potential
Totally agree with the above comment.
Nintendo needs to give out some free stuff this way, like a discount code for a game or something.
like the idea, only years late....
That's cool, but I prefer when my special friend Nikki sends them over the recent Reggie messages >_<
Nintendo is finally using the internet the way it was meant to be used.
I like to read this specially if those notes will be focused in games previously played, amazing system, non-invasive notes, just desired notes. Quite good idea =)
Cool idea actually. I wonder if they'll come with themed stationery like the recent messages we've been getting?
Special Zelda related note...? Is this what was hinted at on the last page of next months Nintendo Power (it's sent 1 month ahead). They mentioned some kind of top secret project reveal.
I was sent the very special Zelda themed stationary via a friend a couple of hours ago, very cool and inspired me to play a bit of classic Zelda... I never bought LoZOoT3D so its good to see the special stationary can be shared with 3DS friends.
"game-related messages" is extremely vague.
What if you play the game after the note is sent? Will you still receive the message(s)?
I agree with ClaytonLuigi. This would be a great way to distribute digital coupons for eshop games, especially if it could know what games you like based on what you play. "We noticed you liked Ocarina 3D, so here's a 15% discount on Link's Awakening!" Sounds good to me!
Isn't this what Spotpass is supposed to be for?
More Swapnotes to read, the better.
Already deleted Swapnote. I was getting way too much messages to keep up with them.
Majora's Mask?
Game related messages? "All your bases are belong to us"?
I gotta get back into the routine of using SN more regularly. I try to use it, before I play MK7 online.
Edit: @ClaytonLuigi Agreed
@DanteSolablood Not quite, but that would be humorous!
This is definitely a good idea. They get to promote stuff, and we get cool new stationary. Win-win 8D
@SkywardLink98 idk it's kinda confusing me. i don't even know what it means by "game related"
