Nintendo just turned off one of the online features of the 3DS, seemingly forever, deactivating the online support for its note-sharing SwapNote service on systems worldwide. The company did this, effective 10pm ET today, after saying SwapNote was "actively misused" to transmit "offensive material" among system users, including minors.Read more...

I thought this was just the spotpass aspect of it? Closing the whole feature because kids like to send naked pictures of eachother is stupid, ESPECIALLY when the handheld in question has parental controls that can prevent this from happening in general.

EA Exec Says Nintendo Has Been Usurped By Apple

Nobody working on video games can ever argue against the amount of influence and inspiration that Shigeru Miyamoto has had on the medium. From the creation of early blockbusters like Donkey Kong to trailblazing three-dimensional design ideas in Super Mario 64, his many accomplishments have helped steer game-makers for decades. But one executive at Electronic Arts says Miyamoto Is "falling down on the job" and that there’s more to be learned from the touchscreen legacy left behind by iconic Apple leader Steve Jobs.Read more...

Sure, kids start gaming on iPhones... but they will eventually want more than just a touch-screen. I think Nintendo fills that gap nicely. I think a Nintendo phone would be a huge distraction for the gaming company.
