Looks like you've got one more bit of stationary to add to your Swapnote collection! Man, I really need to fire Swapnote back up.

Have you played Pokedex 3D Pro? If so, you have this special stationary waiting for you! Thanks to Serebii for the heads up.

You might want to check out your Swapnote messages today. Nintendo is sending out Paper Mario: Sticker Star stationary, along with a message about the game from Nate Bihldorff. We'll try to get a pic of the stationary soon. Thanks to Matt for the heads up!

Let's hope that one day, we get the pleasure of enjoying both the game and this stationary!

Looks like there's a double-dose of stationary out there. Besides the one above, another has become available to those that played New Super Mario Bros. 2. It's a note from Miyamoto saying that you can purchase the game via eShop.

Looks like we have some new Swapnote stationary to look forward to. Here's the details on a New Super Mario Bros. 2 background that is floating around.

- features gold Mario
- gold Mario is throwing a gold fireball
- there's a stack of coins, as well as coins raining down the screen slowly

We just received the first-ever Swapnote press release -- a note from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime inviting us to a Nintendo Direct video tomorrow, February 22, at 9AM EST, at this URL.

A few hours before that video, Nintendo of Japan will have its own Nintendo Direct hosted by Satoru Iwata, at 6AM EST. This one specifies that it will have some Wii and 3DS news.
