Amateur animators can rejoice today as Nintendo officially released Flipnote Studios for DSiWare today. The application is free and allows users to create animated images on their DSi. Flipnote Studios was released for free.
Users draw an image on the touch screen of the Nintendo DSi system. When they are ready to draw the next image in the sequence, Flipnote Studio shows an outline of the previous image as a reference. Once all the images are in place, the software can animate them as a creation called a Flipnote. People can add sound to their Flipnotes using the built-in microphone or using sounds they previously recorded in the Nintendo DSi Sound application. Or they can import photos as black and white images from the Nintendo DSi Camera album.
Users can share their creations with other DSi owners through local wi-fi connections or upload them to a service called Flipnote Hatena, which can be found here. You can download other users creations and modify them as you see fit.
I think we're going to see a lot of interesting creations in the future, many possibly not appropriate for younger audiences. For those worried about it, remember that the DSi has parental controls that can be accessed on the main menu of the DSi.
