GN Version 3.1

Here’s something really interesting that Josh from The Bit Block sent over. He and I are friends on the 3DS, and he noticed something pretty intriguing.

I noticed my 3DS said you were playing with your system, I jumped in to see what you were up to and it was actually able to tell me how many photos you were taking. Went from like 11 to 14 or something. I dunno thought that was pretty crazy how it had live updates to your photo taking.

Just a few minutes ago, I was taking a quick set of photos of my dad using the 3DS camera. I had no idea that friends could watch my photo activity with live updates! Sure, you can’t actually see someone taking photos, but you can see that they’re in the app and taking pics!
