Nintendo recently unveiled the first details of its upcoming animation software, Flipnote Studio 3D, which will be a free download on Nintendo eShop this summer. The latest installment in the Flipnote series follows up from Flipnote Studio on Nintendo DSi and promises to take the concept of turning your Nintendo handheld console into an animation studio to new heights.

With Flipnote Studio 3D, users will be able to create 3D animated masterpieces using their stylus on the Nintendo 3DS system. The application is designed to be user-friendly, allowing anyone to create simple or elaborate sketches, known as Flipnotes, without requiring extensive artistic experience.

One of the key features of Flipnote Studio 3D is its ability to use the 3D effect of the Nintendo 3DS system. This allows users to create their animations on three separate planes and use up to six different colors while crafting their masterpieces.

In addition to its creative capabilities, Flipnote Studio 3D also offers community services for users. Users will be able to share their creations with others, make comments, and even download creations from friends using the Friend Ugomemo (Friend Flipnote) gallery. The application will also allow users to upload their animations online as an animated GIF, a series of GIFs or as an AVI file.

Nintendo has announced that users who have highly rated Flipnotes may receive a free month of the subscription-based Flipnote Gallery: World service. This service gives gamers access to creations from all over the world and allows them to share their own content with others.

Flipnote Studio 3D is set to be released this summer as a free download on Nintendo eShop, making it an exciting addition to any gamer's library. With its user-friendly interface and innovative features, Flipnote Studio 3D is sure to inspire creativity in gamers of all ages.
