Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

Kid Icarus: Uprising is now available to download via eShop in Japan. By the way, we gave a makeover to Pit’s pose when he’s shooting his bow and arrow so it looks sharper. Do note that all images are still in development. This and past pics may be different from the finished product. Thanks for understanding.

GameTrailers TV has a tradition of featuring Nintendo for an entire episode on an annual basis. It looks we can expect something similar this year as well.

On Twitter, Geoff Keighley confirmed that Nintendo will be highlighted on GT.TV in the future. Reggie Fils-Aime and Bill Trinen are both a part of the episode.

Keighley’s tweet is as follows:

No word yet on when the episode will air, but it should be sometime within the next few weeks.

Update 2: Nintendo’s official announcement is in. You can find it after the break.

Update: We’re now getting the indication that SpotPass features for Swapnote have been disabled worldwide. StreetPass still appears to be functioning.

Original: As of now, Japanese 3DS users can no longer take advantage of the ability to share images in Swapnote and Flipnote Studio 3D. Nintendo discovered that inappropriate content was being distributed, which was deemed inappropriate for children. Unfortunately, Nintendo has yet to devise a means of maintaining a safe environment for everyone without suspending online image sharing.
