Jimbob Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's pretty annoying, because that message comes up every single time you try to write a new letter! So I ended up manually deleting some old ones to get rid of it. Nintendo should have made it so you just get the message once and then it deletes older letters automatically, but I guess that makes too much sense. What would make a lot more sense as well, many have mentioned it, is multiple replies to letters. You want to reply twice, but can't at the moment. That would be sensible for Ninty if they did this as an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1 reply only thing is unfortunate.But it's probably essential in order to keep the app running smoothly and within the memory constraints. For example, if someone has 100 friends registered on their 3DS system, and they all actively use Letter Box and reply to every single letter, that means each letter you send could potentially have 100 replies! In that situation it could get pretty messy if the amount of replies was increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to write a 2nd letter if i want to reply again to the same letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Unexpected update out later this week! A new version of Nintendo Letter Box is available! Here are some of the new features: - Take photos and record sounds you want to attach to your letters from within the software. You can still add them from the SD Card. - Attach photos and sounds when you reply to letters. - Choose a different ink colour for each page. - Filter letters by sender in the letter list. Some nice new features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nice list of new features Though I still don't see an option to reply more than once to a message (seriously, after all this time I STILL can't do that!? That's my No1 issue with Letterbox!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm still stuck back receiving letters from November last year. Hopefully they'll add a way to download all, rather than just some at a time. It's so cumbersome otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 This is still my guess as to why they don't allow multiple replies: Wouldn't you still have the 3,000 letter limit in place anyway? Shouldn't that prevent any memory issues by itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Wouldn't you still have the 3,000 letter limit in place anyway? Shouldn't that prevent any memory issues by itself?Good point. It might not be a memory issue anyway, I'm just assuming that it is. I mean Miiverse is eventually coming to 3DS, and that appears to allow unlimited replies. But I think the fact that Letter Box has to record and playback every single line that gets drawn, whereas Miiverse doesn't is probably a factor.

That's no doubt why they have the 3,000 message limit in the first place. Speaking of which, I've run out of space now . I feel sad every time a message gets taken away from me when a new one comes in (of course, I favourited all of Nikki's messages so that I'll never lose them ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokong Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 So where is this update? Thought we were meant to get it yesterday? I don't see it on the eShop or get any prompt when I start Letterbox....

Kav Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Letterbox annoys me, methinks I'll be deleting it next time I switch my 3DS on. Given that Miiverse is coming it'll be almost obsolete then anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
