If Swapnote’s mascot Nikki had a cameo in a 2D game — and I really hope Nintendo’s in-house and second-party development teams find excuses to make this happen — she’d probably look a lot like this sprite!

Happy Birthday, Nikki!

If the idea of opening Swapnote and sorting through a deluge of unread messages gives you stomach upsets, you can see the app’s one-year anniversary note here.

Spoiler alert: Swapnote’s 1-year anniversary note

Apparently you can set the 3DS clock ahead to 12/21 to see it?

Swapnote is absolutely the most precious thing, which I’m terrified to open because it would result in something like the courtroom scene from Miracle on 34th St., but with Yoshi drawings and cat pictures instead of letters to Santa.

Thanks for the protip, Nikki!

I hope Miiverse is home to more hilarity like this, and I wish the same for the unofficial Miiverse Tumblr where I found these images. I’m kicking myself over not being the one to start this site.

Ask Swapnote's Nikki»

If you ever wanted to send messages to Swapnote’s mascot Nikki, you sort of can now — some young lass has set up a Tumblr blog for the green sweatered character.

There’s an Ask form for submitting questions, and if Nikki likes them (and if they’re not inappropriate queries that make her blush), she’ll post a sketch response. Neat!

Freakyforms QR code for Swapnote’s Nikki. The 3DS’s messaging app mascot is everywhere nowadays — she’s in Mii Plazas, user photos (OMGGG), foot fetish fanart, and now Freakyforms! What next? A Pushmo puzzle? A cameo in Super Smash Bros. 3DS?? A guest verse on the remix for Birdman/Nicki Minaj/Lil’ Wayne’s “Y.U. MAD”?!?

Fanart for Swapnote’s Nikki by Happy Freshener. Wow, people love this app so much, they’re drawing tributes for this minor character from the Nintendo-verse. Of course, perverts have even made “sex” comics with her.

I know dudes want me to add them for Swapnote fun, but my Friends List is pretty much full right now! And I need to stop inviting people to send me messages — as much as I enjoy them, it’s totally getting in my way of playing the other eShop stuff I’ve downloaded.

Like, with what little free time I have, I’ll sit down to play Mighty Switch Force, VVVVVV, or Pushmo, but nope, there’s two dozen new Swapnotes for me to check out first! And then there goes the rest of my night.
