Game Notes is an application that comes preloaded with every Nintendo 3DS system. It can be accessed on the top of the bottom screen by touching the yellow pencil icon. With Game Notes, players can jot down notes or draw a picture that can be used to assist them in a Nintendo 3DS video game. It is useful because any 3DS video game can be paused so that the player can access their notes (this feature does not work with Nintendo DS or DSiWare video games).
