Flipnote Studio 3D Confirmed for European Release on 1st August

Hand-drawn GIFs creep closer

by Thomas Whitehead Fri 7th Jun 2013

Not so long ago we reported that Flipnote Studio 3D is set for an early August release in North America, as an official website was launched revealing various details on the galleries and features, including the $0.99 30-day license for access to the World gallery. Nintendo UK has launched its own website and gone a step further, posting a firm launch date of 1st August.

If we were forced to make a prediction, it seems likely that the North America release date will be the same, in order to facilitate a worldwide roll-out of the online galleries. Unlike the Nintendo of America website, however, the UK equivalent holds back on the key detail of how much the 30-day license will cost, merely reinforcing the other details that we've already covered, such as the incentives to perform well as a creator or collector on the world gallery to earn a free 30-day license, with a time window each day when that area can be accessed for free. The Friends gallery will be a free option to enjoy with those on your 3DS Friend List.

Check out the official website if you want to know more. So, Europe, are you looking forward to this?

I'll end up using it a lot, probably, but I'm no artist so it's not particularly worth paying for constant access to the online gallery.

Still, should be fun to doodle a few things.

My friend will be happy to hear this. Since he got a 3DS, he always asked me when Flipnote Studio 3D was coming out.

It would be nice to have an actual set release date for Flipnote Studio 3d in NoA (instead of "early August"), seeing that every other region got one... Hopefully it'll come out in the same week for us as UK/EU.
