European Flipnote Studio 3D launch delayed due to app’s popularity in Japan

Flipnote Studio 3D was originally scheduled to hit the European 3DS eShop this Thursday. This is no longer the case.

In its weekly Nintendo Download report, Nintendo announced that Flipnote Studio 3D has been delayed in Europe as a result of “unexpectedly high levels of user activity since the launch of the application in Japan”.

A new date hasn’t been set, but this information will be provided “as soon as possible.”

“Nintendo of Europe regrets to announce that Flipnote Studio 3D, originally due for a European launch on Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS on 1st August, will be delayed. Due to unexpectedly high levels of user activity since the launch of the application in Japan on 24th July, we decided to postpone our European launch until we can deliver the best possible service to users. We apologise for any inconvenience this delay may cause, and will announce a new launch date as soon as possible.”
