The messaging application based in the Nintendo DS Pictocat pencil was not the first place where I inspected instantly (that would be my friend's aim account), but it was absolutely the least overwhelming and more pleasant place that happened. PychochatAn IMEssage application of the developer Idres Hassan That you can download right now, try to recover part of that messaging magic of equal to equal to your iPhone.
Picochat looks like a version of Pictocat that has squeezed in the lower third of its iPhone, complete with alphanumeric keyboards and emoji, and controls to change the weight of the line of its drawings. It would not be Pictocat without the ability to draw and write with an optical pencil, so Picochat also makes an additional mile and shows an optical pencil on the screen when you scribble with your finger.
Nintendo debuted to Picchocat together with the original Nintendo DS in 2004 as a curiosity rather than a play in the courier domain. The application required that both messengers connect their hand computers on the same Wi-Fi network, which naturally limited its scope as a communication tool. Even so, Nintendo included software in the DS Lite and the DSI in 2006 and 2009, respectively, and the optional Swapnote application of the 3DS was considered a spiritual successor when it came out in 2011.
Picocat cannot completely recreate the small and personal personal sensation of Pictocat while tied on Imessage, but if you lose the cumbersome, but considered messages of your days of DS, it is a great success of nostalgia.
