Reminder: Flipnote Studio 3D Debuting in Europe as My Nintendo Account Incentive

Pretty hype about this for some reason, mainly because it's free I guess. We had a long wait though, didn't we?

I'll be getting at least 4 copies as I've got loads of 3DS... hehehe

I'd complain about North America not getting it, but half the comments on articles about the new account system are people in Scandinavia or people with Windows Phones complaining that they can't use Miitomo or the account system or this or that.
So rather than contribute to that vocal minority, I'll say that it's great that Flipnote 3D's becoming available!

Is it the american version or the Japanese version?

About time Europe.

You've met with a terrible wait, haven't you.

Jesus, it's been so long I've lost 95% of the hype. This seems like the coolest app you could have on the 3DS, delaying it for so long for no reason has been frankly sadistic.

Haven't we been waiting for this for about 4-5 years now? =/

Yay for Europe!

Don't get too hyped people, it's useless.

"I thought I'd never see you again!"

@Thegentleman The page for the game says "European version," so I suppose it may be a new build.

Flipnote Hatena was awesome

...April fooools...

@LemonSlice Yep. I was so excited for it for so long back in the day but it took sooooo long to get here and also was stripped of its sharing and online features so Ive hardly touched it even now. Its pretty useless.

At times it feels like this app is even worse than SwapNote. Finally getting it in NA just made me even feel worse. EU, try to avoid getting too excited.

When will Nintendo Account and My Nintendo become available to us in Scandinavia?

And I want Miitomo for Windows!

PAL region or just Europe?

@MetaRyan I Can't use Miitomo as well Guess I'm lucky enough to have My Nintendo

@BornInNorway81 tomorrow Nintendo Account and My Nintendo will become available.

Miitomo for Nordic countries will take forever I suppose, because Nintendo wants to translate and localize it to the local languages.

Can I finally make that account in Finland too?

What is it?

Holy crap, this never came out for everyone else? I forgot all about it

It's a shame it isn't going to be more widely available, but I'll make sure to get it, because like others, I've been waiting for this for years.

Nintendolife had an article about the reveal over 3 years ago. Europe and North America were then told the game would be delayed, and then that business happened in Japan where some perverts were communicating with children through the app [swapnote], and so flippnote (along with swapnote) was gutted, and it was only in 2015 that anyone outside Japan was able to get hold of it.

I haven't really been keeping up to date with what was in and what was removed, so can anyone reiterate what the state of the app is now? If I was to guess, you can now only share animations with your 3DS friends, and export them as .gifs.

@Luffymcduck Tomorrow, yes.

I would be looking forward to this,if it had its online sharing features! seriously that's what made flipnote on dsi so great, I can't draw things for my life on it let alone in 3d haha, I'll be getting this for both my n3ds' even if just as a niche download haha!

@MetaRyan I think North America already has this for a year or so.

Better late than never, but Nintendo were idiots to have killed it. Nothing but a reminder of how archaic they are.

Yessssssssssss! etc

I'm kinda happy, but more annoyed at Nintendo for the amount they dragged this software through.

@Luffymcduck According to Nintendo Europe's website:

"My Nintendo will be available from March in the following countries: the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Malta, Greece, Sweden, Estonia, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil."

So, what do Wii U owners get as an early adopter reward?

Wasn't this on DSi until Nintendo shut it down and erased all users' drawings?

It's ridiculous that Nintendo hasn't released flipnote 3d for sale, it's practically what the 3ds was made for. Most of my friends would have a 3ds if they could use flipnote

@YouSeemFRAZZLED How? I had some drawings on the DSi app (I'm European).

Europe gets all the good eShop games first.
We get Flipnote Studio 3D.

Somehow I feel America is still getting the short end of the stick, but I'm not complaining.

@YouSeemFRAZZLED I have one Hatena account but I'm not sure that the drawings were saved, I'll check it out. Thanks.

UPDATE: Now avaliable worldwide until May 1.

Shame that it is the gimped western version of it. I tested it once and don't really see any point for it since there is no Miiverse integration, there is no sane way to share created Flipnotes.

It should be community based and have proper internet connection to Flipnote galleries. The world is filled with amazing artists that could make some awesome animations with this. I can't create anything, but I'd like to download and see other peoples creations.

Flipnote Studio 3D is now available as a redeemable reward for 200 platinum points in the My Nintendo service, at least in NA. I don't know if it's permanent or just for the holiday season but I saw it earlier today.

Pretty nice considering I had to replace my DS after Club Nintendo went away and I was sad I couldn't keep the program.
