Animazing!
When Flipnote Studio burst onto the DSiWare scene back in 2009, it quickly became one of the most popular releases on the service, although it is worth noting that the title was available free of charge. Sites dedicated to hosting the animation creations began popping up across the Internet and remain active almost two years later. Now...

look what I found on the site:
its a (kinda) hidden domo!
yes! color animation! need this!
Unfortunately it's against Flipnote Studios which has
While Inchworm is a port
I'll get this if it is 500 points or lower. I think that it is really cool. It says you can work with 9999 pixels by 9999 pixels. My dad has a 12.7 megapixel camera and its maximum resolution is 4000 pixels by 3000 pixels. This means that the graphics on this are more than twice high quality than a 12.7 Megapixel camera! It is also interesting that the 3DS's graphics (Which are really good) are 800 pixels by 240 pixels. (on the touch screen) This Means that the 3DS Only has a fraction of the graphics of inchworm animation. Plus it is in color! and you can make bmp. files! Sure, it doesn't have sound and no online communications thing (like flipnote studio has) and it is free, but those are the only disadvandages against Flipnote Studio. I want to get it.
Looking forward to using it. I`ve been wanting somthing like this ever since i downloaded Flipnote Studios. Hoping they`ll update it with sound and online functions, sometime in the near future.
I saw a video of it on another website, AND IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING! AMAZING! My jaw dropped as I was watching the video. YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH VIDEOTAPE BY MAKING ALOT OF BLANK FRAMES AND SETTING IT TO TAKE A PICTURE EVERY FRAME! AND YOU CAN EDIT VIDEOS AS YOU WATCH! I AM MORE EXCITED ABOUT THIS THAN THE 3DS!
How can there be so few comments about something that seems so awesome???
@jdkipfer
Can you reply the link to the video to me please. I want to watch that video.

This is what flipnote studio should have been.
I will download this for sure!
This looks really cool! If it's around 500 I'm getting it.
Sure hope this comes to the UK!!
yeah! it's out in US, 500 points! Too bad I'm broke D:
HOLY MOLY I'm updating to this program!!
Yes! Stop Motion!
i downloaded it and i love it since i can create brickfilms
Not a bad piece of film equipment. Though it was made by some film company (Flat Black Films, that IS a a movie place right?) so I'd expect it to be good.
Whoever wants to get this: DON'T get it. First of all, it doesn't have an eraser. (If you wanted to erase something, you'd have to clear the entire page!) Second of all, it costs money, unlike flipnote studio. It's hard and complicated to use, and it doesn't have a left-hand option. Although it does have colors, you should stick with Flipnote Studio if you want to animate. Unfortunately, this was a waste of time and money for me.
This isn't 800 points ion Europe, its actually 500.
Vegeta! What does the scouter say about Inchworm's pixel resolution?
