Inchworm Animation came out in North America on April 25, 2011. Even though it’s taken Flat Black Films an entire year to complete Nintendo of Europe’s review process, the title will finally be launching next week. Inchworm Animation will be available in Europe on April 26 for £7.20 / 800 points.

You can find the official announcement below.

For the past year it has been one of the most popular DSiWare titles in USA. Finally on April 26, Inchworm Animation makes its long-awaited European appearance on Europe’s Nintendo DSiWare™ service for 800 Nintendo DSi Points™.

It’s not a game, and it’s not for kids, though artists of all ages will enjoy digging into the creative toolbox unlocked by Inchworm Animation. The much anticipated animation software comes from Bob Sabiston’s Flat Black Films, the studio behind the innovative animated films “Waking Life” and “A Scanner Darkly”.


This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

Nintendo eShop
3D Classics: Kid Icarus – Relive Pit’s first adventure in 3D Classics: Kid Icarus as you venture from the depths of the underworld up to the heights of the sky palace. Play in 2D or 3D as you face down the evil goddess Medusa. (For Nintendo 3DS)

Nintendo eShop
Pyramids (demo version) – Pyramids is a puzzle-platform game in which an explorer tries to get out of the pyramids with his loot. A variety of dangerous traps and monsters will put your dexterity and ingenuity to the test. This free demo is now available on Nintendo eShop. (For Nintendo 3DS)


We know of at least one DSiWare that will be included in the Nintendo Download report tomorrow. I Must Run! will be available on the 3DS eShop and DSi shop. The game will cost $1.99 / 200 points.
