Nintendo launches Flipnote Studio in North America

Just wanted to give you guys the quick update about this app. Should be a fun little tool! Anyway, I’ll have a few more posts later tonight and Austin will be back for more news. And tomorrow afternoon, I’ll be back to work on the site!

Hatena is proud to announce the launch of Flipnote Hatena – a web service for posting and sharing Flipnotes – for the United States and Canada. This service is used in conjunction with Flipnote Studio, available for download from the Nintendo DSi Shop starting today.

Flipnote Studio is a free, downloadable Nintendo DSiWare application available to any Nintendo DSi user with access to a wireless broadband internet connection. By connecting to the internet and accessing Flipnote Hatena through Flipnote Studio, you can post your own Flipnotes, view Flipnotes posted by other users, add ? to your favorites and more.

Posted Flipnotes can also be viewed on the Flipnote Hatena website, provided by Hatena Co., Ltd. Log in to this website with a Hatena ID to have even more fun with Flipnotes with features such as posting comments and sorting Flipnotes by channel.
