Flipnote Studio is an application for the Nintendo DSi that can be downloaded at no cost from the Nintendo DSi Shop.
Flipnote Studio provides users with simple tools that let them draw and save a series of images to create an animation reminiscent of flipping through a notepad called a Flipnote. Users can add sound to their Flipnotes using the built-in microphone of Nintendo DSi or by using sounds they previously recorded in the Nintendo DSi Sound application. Flipnotes can also be created using black and white images imported from user’s Nintendo DSi Camera album.
After connecting to the Flipnote Hatena service from within the Flipnote Studio application, users can view and download other people’s Flipnotes, and modify them to create their own works. Once people become registered users of the Flipnote Hatena website, users can also upload and share their own completed animations for others to view and download.

#45
alexbros said:
HERE IT IS
Dear alexbros, thank you for your email.
Unfortunately, there is no definite European release date for Flipnote Studio on DSi, although this may be announced in the future. We recommend that you keep an eye at www.nintendo.co.uk, as any information regarding this would be posted there first.

Wiiperson11 said:
@alexbros- I just sent an email to Nintendo asking them when Overturn is coming to Europe.
They sent me the exact same mail but the name of the game was the only difference.

@ dsi app man100
Not really 50 50, there are more than 2 or 4 DSiWare games.

Edit: you deleted your comment

dsi_app_man100 said:
does anyone one know what nintendos releasing the 17th of august?
#57
Martidog said:
THERE IS A GOD!!!!!
14TH AUGUST HAS TO COME QUICK!
#58
Gogata said:
I am really dissapointed in Nintendo, for both, the DSi release long delay and not releasing most of the Japanese apps earlier...
#59
Martidog said:
Gogata has got a point. Nintendo should do more than release one game/app a week. They should release a few games like they do on the Wii Shop.

DSiFanCJV said:
HORRAY! ITS OUT NOW!!!

videoqueen1000 said:
i love the game. it allows you to use your "creativity muscles" as i call them, to sketch anything, and you can bring it to life. plus, if you go to this one place called hatena.com, you can see other people's downloaded flipnotes. amazing.

FlipNote, EPIC.

Cats said:
The 3DS would have sold a lot more units if this was available for it. Here we are almost a year after launch and we still don't have it. If you don't move to a 3DS, Flipnote is probably the reason.
Hatena would have been perfect if it had 1 rule:
1 - Anyone that even mentions "stars" in a flipnote receives a 2 week ban and full erasure of all of their uploads.

VShadow said:
yeah, i agree w/ ya. i go on hatena nearly every day & see lots of pls add strs! i hate it!! >:U
