Flipnote Studio

Maybe it’s not the game actually, but still Flipnote Studio is brilliant, enjoyable and easy to use tool for all creative home designers. And – it’s completely free! [Oct 2009]

Flipnote Studio is simply essential. It's a superb animation application and it's completely free. All DSi owners should download it.

Flipnote Studio is a fun and simple tool to create short animations and share them with friends and people on the web. Everything works fine, and being a free download makes it a must have for every DSi owner out there.

It's a shame that original DS and DS Lite owners have no way of trying out Flipnote Studio, as what is on offer here exceeds any other DS game in terms of potential and creational ability.

Like any social network activity, this is here to last. It's a new form of expression for creative people, and creating animations is so easy that soon there'll be millions of Flipnotes in Hatena's database. Fun stuff!

While the program is simple enough for people of all ages to create a project, it still manages to offer up an almost endless amount of creative power limited only by the amount of time and effort users are willing to put into their projects.

After toying with the program for hours and seeing co-workers' reactions and excitement, both in what I produced and how easy it is to use, I'm now comfortable in saying that there's a real reason to own a DSi system. Flipnote Studio is the system seller Nintendo really needs.

While it may be without it's online servers on, to this day, this is still a very great app with you can do animations and draw a lot of things.

It's not without its interface issues, but Flipnote Studio (and Flipnote Hatena before it shut down) was an experience unlike anything else on the platform. You simply had to be there to get the full experience, however, and without Hatena, you won't get the most out of it. Still, great things can be created using this application, even today.

I was so looking forward to FNS when it came out, and for the first few weeks it was brilliant! Then, several months later the Hatena site got a mass overload of crap flipnotes begging for apparently precious stars, therefore absolutely ruining the experience. What a shame, because it's a great tool, despite a few drawbacks.

this game started well, but it has been reduced to people stealing original flip notes with the only change at the end saying "add stars if blah blah blah" or a change in speed. and are these thief's punished? no, there put on the "most popular videos" section. and if its not stolen, its some sort of song with a page saying "add stars if you like songs", or a video that says something like "add stars or you will die in 3 days". and if not that, some sort of one direction love story. flippant hatena has become a hole of star beggars, reposts, and stupid scams. however, flip-note studio itself (without hatena) isn't that bad, its a good way to make videos. i personally think that they should shut down the hatena system and keep it as a system to just share some videos with some close friends, not to the internet where someone can steal it.

Why is this game so highly rated? I had ten minutes of fun with it and haven't touched it since. Why is it so high up?
