Flipnote Studio, originally released in Japan as Moving Notepad (うごくメモ帳, Ugoku Memochō), was a free downloadable application for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare digital distribution service. Developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo,^[1]Flipnote Studio allowed the user to create both word and picture-based notes with the stylus, add sound, and put them together to create frame-by-frame flipbook-style animations. Though referred to as Moving Notepad by Nintendo in prior English-language keynote addresses and conferences,^[2] the application was announced at E3 2009 officially as Flipnote Studio.^[3] It was released in Japan on December 24, 2008, in North America on August 12, 2009, and in Europe and Australia on August 14, 2009. It was also included as a preloaded program on the Nintendo DSi LL/XL and Nintendo DSi with firmware 1.4. An online service, titled Flipnote Hatena (うごメモはてな, Ugomemo Hatena) allowed users to download flipnotes created by other users. Users were also able to post stills from flipnotes to the sharing site Miiverse.

Flipnote Studio is not available to be downloaded or transferred onto the Nintendo 3DS.^[4] As a successor, Flipnote Studio 3D, was developed specifically for the system.

The online Flipnote Hatena (うごメモはてな Ugomemo Hatena) service officially retired on May 31, 2013. However, users were previously able to transfer the Flipnotes from their Flipnote Hatena account to the new online service provided with Flipnote Studio 3D, until the Flipnote Gallery World service was shut down on April 2, 2018.^[5] After the Nintendo DSi Shop closed on March 31, 2017, the original Flipnote Studio was no longer available for download.

Features[edit]

Flipnote Studio offers the user three main tools with which to create drawings: a pen, an eraser, and a paintbrush (each heavily customizable) . With these tools, the user may create frames for short or long animated sketches, called Flipnotes. Additional features such as layering, shrinking, enlarging, moving, copying, cutting, pasting, etc. are also available, as well as the option to import black-and-white images via the DSi Camera Album (though not limited to black and white) . The Japanese version of the software allows the user to take photos directly from Flipnote Studio itself.^[2][6] One animation may consist of hundreds of frames (maximum 999), and to go along with the animation itself, the user may choose to record up to 4 different sound banks (each holding up to 2 seconds of sound) with the DSi microphone OR importing from DSi Sound, then save it as a 'mastered' soundtrack (which can hold up to 1 minute of sound).^[6] The speed ranges from 0.5 - 30 FPS.

When newly started, Flipnote Studio is set to right-hand mode. When drawing, the left and right buttons on the depad cycle through the pages. Pressing down will play the animation, and the up button will take the user to the tools section. The L button can trigger advanced tool options, such as enlarging the drawing instead of shrinking it. If the user uses left-hand mode - an option in the settings - the buttons will switch places, and mirror. Once activated, the R button will take place of the L button and so on.

Flipnote Hatena[edit]

Overview[edit]

Shortly before the release of Moving Notepad in Japan, Nintendo announced that they were partnering with Japanese web services provider Hatena to provide the means to share works created with the software. Speaking for Nintendo, Yoshiaki Koizumi stated they chose to work with Hatena because 'it takes a special skill set to maintain the User Generated Contents (UGC) site, and we don't have that skill. We rely on Hatena on that part.' ^[7]

Flipnote Hatena is the name of both the portion of the Flipnote Studio application that connects to the Flipnote Hatena website as well as the website itself (the Japanese version of the program differentiates between the two, but not the English version). Through the DSi portion of the application users were able to download Flipnotes to their DSi, add stars to Flipnotes uploaded by others, and upload their own. Users could also 'spin off' another user's Flipnote, by downloading it and editing it. Flipnote Hatena was shut down on May 31, 2013.^[6]

Description[edit]

As for the website itself, Flipnote Hatena offered the ability for users to rate and comment on the works of others, as well as to embed their animations into other webpages.^[6] Users could also flag submissions as inappropriate; flipnotes thus flagged will not be viewable via the DSi's Flipnote Hatena^[8] and may be removed from the website altogether.^[9]

Channels[edit]

When uploaded, Flipnote animations were placed into specific categories by their creators. These categories, known as 'channels,' included general classifications such as 'Musical' and 'Comedy,' as well as more specific categories suggested by popular Flipnote users and accepted by Hatena.^[10] For example, the categories 'Stick Figures,' 'Spoof,' and 'Birds' were added at the request of users.

Stars[edit]

Flipnote Hatena also had its own economy of 'stars.' Stars were used to rate Flipnotes (similarly to YouTube's 'like' function), and users could add as many stars as they desired to any Flipnote. In addition to the regular Stars, users could purchase or earn Color Stars. In increasing rarity, these colors were green, red, blue, and purple. Users could earn Green Stars by reporting inappropriate Flipnotes, using other Hatena services, posting Flipnotes frequently (based on the number of days they posted Flipnotes), or managing a popular Channel. Red Stars were given to creators whose Flipnotes were featured in the Weekly News. In addition, users could purchase 'boxes' containing a certain number of color stars. The contents of these boxes were randomized, so users wouldn't know how many of each color they would receive, but the larger the box purchased, the more likely the user was to receive Color Stars.

The Star system on Flipnote Hatena had a mixed reception from users. The ability to add infinite stars was a major drawback, as a large part of the Flipnote Hatena community became focused on receiving as many stars as possible. This led to a practice referred to among the community as 'star begging.' These Flipnotes with no entertainment value, often direct copy of another,^{[citation needed]} would quickly rise to the top of the Most Popular section.

End of the service[edit]

Prior to the release of Moving Notepad/Flipnote Studio 3D, the closure of the Flipnote Hatena communities was announced, and have been inaccessible as of May 31, 2013. Fans vocally protested the shutdown, and contacted Nintendo, Hatena, and even news media in an attempt to prevent the end of the services. Several fans even created websites and servers to continue sharing Flipnotes after the shut down.

Nintendo announced that the Flipnotes on Flipnote Hatena would be transferred to the new online service for Moving Notepad/Flipnote Studio 3D. The DSi Flipnotes were accessible from the Nintendo DSi Gallery, a free-to-access section of the upcoming Flipnote Gallery: World.^[11] The main purpose of the DSi Gallery was for users to transfer their Flipnotes from Flipnote Studio to Flipnote Studio 3D, where they could be edited like any other Flipnote. Flipnote Gallery: World was never released outside of Japan. Instead, other regions were given a service called the Nintendo DSi Library, where users could download their Flipnotes from Flipnote Hatena. Services for Flipnote Gallery: World and Nintendo DSi Library were both ended on April 1, 2018.

Since the closure of the official servers, numerous groups have come forward to create unofficial servers to reimplement the application's online functionalities. The most notable of such custom servers is Sudomemo, which launched in 2014.^[12][13]

Sharing Flipnotes[edit]

Aside from the Flipnote Hatena website, Flipnotes may be shared between two users via the DSi's Wireless Communication feature. When a Flipnote has been shared in this manner, the users may choose to save their contact information as friends on the Nintendo DSi and on the Flipnote Hatena website. Flipnotes may also saving to an SD card (to be inserted into another DSi).^[6]When a person receives a Flipnote from a creator the first time, they become friends with each other.I

Uses[edit]

Official contests[edit]

As part of the 25th Anniversary celebrations for the Mario (1985-2010) and Zelda (1986-2011) series, Nintendo has sponsored official Flipnote contests. For both contests, users were invited to create a Flipnote based on the series using template Flipnotes (with music and sound effects) posted on Flipnote Hatena. Entries were judged and selected by some of the head developers of the series, including Eiji Aonuma for the Zelda Flipnotes, and Shigeru Miyamoto for the Mario Flipnotes. Winning Flipnotes were made available to view on YouTube and Nintendo's official website, the Nintendo Channel, and the 3DS eShop (Zelda winners only).

Music Videos[edit]

Flipnote Studio has been used by musicians to create animated music videos for their songs.^[14]

Billy Polard is one such artist. Polard used looping .gif files created in and exported from Flipnote Studio. For his song Losing Light, Polard's music video told a sad story about two monsters. A year later, Polard released a music video for another song, When Our Bedrooms Were Once Haunted, that was also created in Flipnote Studio.

Artist Arman Bohn took a different approach. For his music video for Brain Games, he created hundreds of elements, including anthropomorphic numbers and letters, in Flipnote Studio and exported them as .gifs. He then used computer software to assemble these elements into his music video. The random arrangement of objects was intended to serve as a contrast to the lyrics of the song, which is about the Scientific Method. In his blog, Arman Bohn described his effort to keep the 'jaggy' quality of the Flipnote art.

A music video created partly in Flipnote Studio and animated by Kékéflipnote was used for The Living Tombstone's remix of Epoch by Savlonic

Development[edit]

Flipnote Studio was developed by Yoshiaki Koizumi and Hideaki Shimizu. The two began working on the project without the knowledge of anyone else at Nintendo EAD Tokyo.^[15] It was initially designed as a tool for taking notes with the name Moving Notepad, and it was considered early on as a possible WiiWare application to transmit these notes from a DS to the Wii to be shared with other users of the application. When the Nintendo DSi was announced, it was decided by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata that the company would work with Hatena, as the latter had recently shifted its R&D department to Kyoto, where Nintendo Corporate Labs is located.^[15]

It was released in Japan on December 24, 2008, in North America on August 12, 2009, and in Europe and Australia on August 14, 2009. It was also included as a preloaded program on the Nintendo DSi XL and Nintendo DSi with firmware 1.4.

Reception[edit]

As of January 10, 2009, there had been more than 100,000 user-submitted creations.^[18] During its first six months of operation in Japan, Flipnote Hatena reports having received over 1,000,000 user-submitted creations.^[9]

IGN gave the Flipnote Studio an 'outstanding' rating of 9.0/10, while also giving it an editors' choice award.^[17]

Official Nintendo Magazine awarded it 95%.

• Flipnote Studio at Nintendo.co.jp(in Japanese)

Flipnote Studio 3D, known in Japan as Moving Notepad 3D (うごくメモ帳 3D, Ugoku Memochō Surī Dī) and originally announced as Flipnote Memo,^[3] is a free downloadable animation application launched in 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS and was Developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo, this successor to Flipnote Studio allows users to use three separate layers to create stereoscopic 3D animations, which can be exported into GIF or AVI format. Flipnote Studio 3D initially launched with two online communities: Flipnote Gallery: Friends and Flipnote Gallery: World.^[4] Both services have ceased operation.

The application was released in Japan on July 24, 2013. It was set for an August 2013 release in North America and Europe, but due to 'unexpectedly high' usage of the online services in Japan, the application's release was delayed for both regions.^[5] It was eventually released in North America for Club Nintendo members on February 10, 2015; in Europe and Australia however, those who pre-registered or signed up for a Nintendo Account between March 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016 were able to redeem the app free via My Nintendo.^[6][7] It was again put on My Nintendo on December 1, 2016 for the Americas region and on January 1, 2017 for the PAL region, is available indefinitely where users can redeem it anytime for 200 points. On September 8, 2017, Nintendo announced that the Flipnote Gallery: World service would be discontinued in Japan on April 2, 2018, while ticket sales ended on October 2, 2017.^[8]

Features[edit]

Flipnote creation[edit]

Largely similar to its predecessor, Flipnote Studio 3D allows users to create short animated sketches known as Flipnotes. Flipnotes can be made up of hundreds of frames, and can be played back at a variety of speeds. The software offers users the option to create 3D Flipnotes by drawing different parts of the animation on up to 3 layers. The main tools include a pen, an eraser, and a paintbrush. New to Flipnotes Studio 3D are tools that draw shapes, fill enclosed areas (paint bucket), and insert text. The application features a limited color palette, including black, white, red, blue, green, and yellow. This is a slight improvement upon Flipnote Studio, which didn't include yellow and green as selectable colors, but were still possible using color mixing. The selection tool is used to copy and manipulate parts of a frame. Users can also use the 3DS system's camera and microphone to add audio and photos to their creations. These animations can be shared by exporting them as GIF or AVI files.^[9][10]

Online services[edit]

Flipnote Studio 3D was launched along with two separate online services: Flipnote Gallery: Friends and Flipnote Gallery: World. As the names imply, the former allows for Flipnotes to be shared with people on the user's 3DS Friends List, and the latter is a worldwide community for sharing and viewing Flipnotes. Flipnote Gallery: Friends was a SpotPass service included as a part of Flipnote Studio 3D. The service allowed users to share Flipnotes with up to 20 people in their 3DS Friends List via temporary galleries.^[9] In addition, Flipnote Gallery: Friends featured a simple voting system. On November 1, 2013, Nintendo ended the Flipnote Gallery: Friends service in Japan, due to concerns that users, including minors, could exchange Friend Codes on internet forums and use them to send inappropriate content. Later, the Flipnote Gallery: Friends feature was removed completely from the application via an update.^[1]

Flipnote Studio Windows

Flipnote Gallery: World was a paid community service, and the successor to Flipnote Hatena. The service was based around 30-day 'passes' that could be obtained in a variety of ways. There was also a window of time from between 3 pm to 7 pm when anyone could connect to the service free, based on the console's system time. Users received one pass when they first connected to Flipnote Gallery: World as a free trial to the service, with additional passes being purchased for a small fee of ¥100. Each pass, activated when the previous pass expires, granted users 100 Coins and 3 Star Coins which were required for various activities.^[11]

A coin was required to perform most activities on Flipnote Gallery: World, including posting a comment or downloading a Flipnote. They were also used to rate Flipnotes. They also were required for posting Flipnotes. Users could add as many coins as they wanted, based on how much they liked the Flipnote. Users were given a very limited quantity of Star Coins. These were required to add another Creator to a user's Favorites, and could also be added to others' Flipnotes.^[11] Flipnotes could be posted using either a regular Coin or a Star Coin. If Flipnotes posted using a regular Coin did not receive any Coins within 30 days, they would be automatically removed from the service. On the other hand, Flipnotes posted using Star Coins would remain on the Gallery indefinitely regardless of whether they received any Coins.^[9] There was also a section of Flipnote Gallery: World called Nintendo DSi Gallery, wherein Flipnotes transferred from Flipnote Hatena could be viewed and downloaded. This gallery was free to access.^[10] Users could participate in the Flipnote Gallery: World community as either a 'Creator' or a 'Collector.' Creators made Flipnotes and posted them to the gallery, while the role of Collectors was to find high-quality Flipnotes and help them become popular. Doing particularly well in either activity provided an opportunity for users to be granted a free 30-day pass to the service.^[9]

The Club Nintendo/My Nintendo version of Flipnote Studio 3D limits the sharing of Flipnotes to local wireless between 3DS systems, though users may still export their creations to SD cards and download Flipnotes from the DSi version.^[12]

Nintendo announced that Flipnote Studio 3D’s Flipnote Gallery: World online service in Japan would officially end in April 2, 2018 at 10am Tokyo Time. There have been two phases in the closure of the service. The first phase was the end of ticket sales which were required to use the service. Ticket sales ended on October 2, 2017 at 10:00 AM Tokyo time, then Flipnote Gallery: World closed its doors on April 2, 2018 at 10:00 AM Tokyo time.

Nintendo also added once ticket sales officially end, the “free time” duration for users to access the service would be extended and that the number of coins given the users daily would be increased. It's unclear whether the DSi Library on Flipnote Studio 3D, which hosts Flipnotes from Flipnote Hatena (an online service for Flipnote Studio on Nintendo DSi), will be impacted in the west. [1]

A community-developed Flipnote Gallery: World service was created from the Nintendo DSi Library feature of European and American versions of Flipnote Studio 3D named Kaeru Gallery (formerly Project Kaeru and kaeru:world). However, this service is only able to be accessed with a modified Nintendo 3DS.

Development[edit]

Flipnote Studio 3D was originally announced by Shigeru Miyamoto under the name Flipnote Memo.^[3] Other than this mention, there was no further news on the eventual release of the application until a Nintendo Direct Mini broadcast on March 13, 2013. In this official announcement, several features were revealed, such as the ability to create 3D Flipnotes using up to 3 layers. This was the first time that the application was referred to as Flipnote Studio 3D. The broadcast also announced a release date of mid-2013.^[13]

Flipnote Studio 3D was released in Japan on July 24, 2013.^[1] Originally, the application was to be released in Europe on August 1, 2013. However, on July 30, 2013, Nintendo of Europe tweeted that, due to the unexpectedly high use of the online services in Japan, the application's release would be delayed. They also promised to announce a new release date 'as soon as possible.'^[10][14] Nintendo of America's official website for the application originally indicated an 'Early August 2013' release date, but on August 7, 2013, this release date was changed to 'TBD'^[9] without any accompanying notice of a delay.

Flipnote Studio Cia Download

On November 1, 2013, the Flipnote Gallery: Friends service was discontinued in Japan due to the possibility of underage users sending/receiving 'inappropriate content' via the service. Simultaneously, Nintendo globally disabled SpotPass features for their messaging app Swapnote/Nintendo Letter Box for similar reasons.^[15] After 16 months without any announcement, on November 21, 2014 Nintendo removed all mention about Flipnote Studio and Flipnote Studio 3D in the English translation for a Japanese interview about Pikmin Short Movies in Miiverse.^[16]

On January 20, 2015, Nintendo announced that North American members of Club Nintendo, which was due to close later in the year, will be able to download Flipnote Studio 3D free between February and June 2015. This version limits sharing of Flipnotes to local wireless, though users may still download Flipnotes from the DSi version's gallery and transfer creations to an SD card.^[17] On February 2, 2015, Nintendo announced that Flipnote Studio 3D would be released later that week. However, on February 5 the wording changed to simply imply it would be released that day, which it temporarily was, and after a period of 'maintenance', it was changed to say it would be released that month. The application was eventually released via Club Nintendo in North America on February 10, 2015.

On March 31, 2016, Flipnote Studio 3D became available again for North America and for the first time in Europe, Australia, as well as Mexico and Brazil, via the My Nintendo loyalty program. It was available from March 31 until April 30, and was free to redeem. Although the PAL version initially featured buttons that supposedly access Flipnote Gallery: Friends/World communities, they were not functional, and this version is restricted to the similar functions as the North American version. The buttons were later removed via an update.

On December 1, 2016, Flipnote Studio 3D became available again for the Americas alongside the release of the My Nintendo website revamp and the introduction of child accounts in all regions. Unlike previous offers, the app is available indefinitely without an expiration date, although it requires members to spend 200 Platinum Points to redeem it. With the introduction of child account support, users under 13 years can officially acquire Flipnote Studio 3D, as this was not previously possible on either Club Nintendo or My Nintendo at launch before the revamp. Flipnote Studio 3D became available again for Europe and Australia as of January 1, 2017.^[18]

On April 2, 2018, the remaining online service, Flipnote Gallery: World, ceased operations.

Reception[edit]

Flipnote Studio 3D has received mostly positive feedback since its release in Japan. A Nintendo World Report editorial stated that the now-removed Flipnote Gallery: Friends feature was not very well put together. However, it also praised Flipnote Gallery: World and the wealth of other sharing options available. Despite the current lack of SpotPass features, the editorial expressed that Flipnote Studio 3D is still a lot of fun, and Nintendo should still release the then-delayed application in the West.^[19] The stripped-down international version of Flipnote Studio 3D was received with mixed reactions.
