One of the best toy-like programs to mess around with on the 3ds. the multiple layers and new brushes + higher quality allows for so much more creativity when making animations, and the camera functionality is great too. youll often see joke videos on the internet to this day that were made on flipnote 3d. i do wish i could have just bought the game instead of using nintendo points.
Don't get me wrong it was a neat animation tool for what it was but it felt like a bastardization of the original, in the sense that you couldn't even share your own creations with a community and it was just a personal for you thing, which sharing creations was the thing we loved most about the original, fine animation tool but it misses the point as to why everyone even liked it to begin with,
They pretty much improved the animation aspect of flipnote studio by giving a bigger canvas, more colors, and 3D depth support, but what's even the point when the whole online community aspect got cancelled internationally and the game was exclusive to club nintendo members for a sizeable portion of its life. I think Nintendo got scared from the great swapnote spotpass scandals and just decided miiverse was enough to moderate as is. You might be able to share flipnotes through streetpass but that had never happened to me in my entire time of bringing my 3DS to high school so that sure goes to show how effective that was. It's a good animation tool for sure, but I just can't think of it as anything other than a complete disappointment with immeasurable amounts of wasted potential.
