'''Nintendo Video''' is a video series available via the Nintendo 3DS eShop and, formerly, a free downloadable application. It enables the 3DS to display videos in 3D.

Like the eShop, the app updates regularly. Users can have a maximum of four videos at a time, one of which is deleted with every update.

'''Swapnote''' (called '''Nintendo Letter Box''' in British English) is a free, downloadable messaging service that allows users to write notes (up to four pages) via the stylus and send them by StreetPass (and previously by SpotPass) to people registered in their Friend Lists (in the case of StreetPass, notes can be given to people who may not be on said list). Users can reply to each note once, and replies are restricted to one page. As users send notes to their friends, they gain access to a variety of features, including the ability to attach photos stored in an SD card, to create messages and art displayed in full 3D, to change the stationery on which notes are written, to view notes in a slide show format, and (using 15 Play Coins) to attach sound recordings from the Nintendo 3DS Sound application. The software can store a combined maximum of 3,000 notes and replies, and each note can have a maximum of 100 replies attached to it, with new notes/replies replacing old ones once this limit is reached (notes given "Favorite" status are not deleted, though replies are). An update for this software was released on July 5, 2012<ref>http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/07/letter_box_update_adds_coloured_ink</ref> in Japan, Europe, and Oceania which adds the feature to change the ink's colors by pressing {{button|3ds|Pad}} either to the right or left, with North America receiving the feature shortly afterward. An April 2013 update allows users to use different colors of ink on each page in one note and added some more features to the software, such as the ability to delete multiple notes at once. On October 31, 2013, Nintendo suspended the SpotPass functionality of Swapnote in all regions, due to incidents in Japan where the app was used to share explicit content with minors<ref>[http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/UHQZFP2Jxcll_Vm-PsZpxNIK5920bRRK Notice about service for Nintendo 3DS software Swapnote] Accessed November 1, 2013.</ref>, not only affecting interaction between users, but also halting the reception of special notes and stationery from developers.

A sequel released on November 17, 2016 known as '''Swapdoodle''' retains similar elements from Swapnote (except photo and sound attachments) with new features. There are now Doodle Lessons for players where they can practise drawing, along with stamps and secret pages. The application is free-to-start with in-game purchases.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swapnote#Swapdoodle</ref>
