Nintendo customer service says 3DS Miiverse won’t let you exchange messages with friends, no friend requests

The 3DS version of Miiverse will seemingly be missing two prominent elements included in its Wii U counterpart. An email response provided by one Nintendo of America customer service representative says users will be unable to exchange messages with friends, and there will be no feature in place which allows friend requests to be sent. It’s a bit of a shame to hear the news, though perhaps these two elements could be added in the future.
