Fantastic news. Hopefully this comes out in the West not long afterwards.

This is super awesome news. More colors, and 3D. It will be very interesting to see the videos people make who have a lot of free time on their hands

I hate to tell them though, I don't care how cheap their online server is, they're not getting any money out of me

This'll be good news for all the people on SwapNote who try to tell stories and such.

Sounds awesome, its sort of trolling but Colors 3D has 5 layers of 3D :cool; :cool;  and God knows how many different colors. I'll totally going to give this a try

Considering how amazing some people's drawings on Miiverse are, Flipnote on Wii U would be pretty awesome.

It kind of sucks that Nintendo is shutting down the DSi Flipnote sharing site, but they had to eventually. More reason to get a 3DS.

This sounds cool.

I do hope, however, that eventually Nintendo will integrate Letterbox (Swapnote) and Flipnote.

Also, is Letterbox still a thing that people use? Letterbox was cool for about a week, but ultimately I had to disable it from receiving people's messages. I was getting bombarded with so much spam from people on my friends list, and short of removing that person completely there was no way to filter out those messages that I would prefer not to receive. Also, that app was way too slow.

Still, if they were to fix those issues and integrate the two services I think that would be great.

I still get messages on Swapnote occasionally, but I rarely send them. In fact, I just unlocked responding to messages or something late last year. I didn't know you had to do that.

I agree that it would be far more useful and intuitive if it wasn't so slow. That's a problem with a lot of Nintendo's OS, menus, apps, and such. I'd really like to see Nintendo work on optimizing these things.

They should integrate Swapnote, Flipnote, MiiVerse, Pictochat, Colors!, Inchworm Animation, New Art Academy and Animatee into one all drawing solution.

I still use SwapNote. As a spammer though. I had uploaded a few dozens of 3d pics from my vacation in Malaysia. Some cool pics in there.
