In Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version players can wirelessly transfer any of their Pokémon from one of the two games to their Pokéwalker. By walking around in real life, with any Pokémon in the Pokéwalker, players earn 'Watts' which are used within the Pokéwalker to encounter and catch wild Pokémon, or to search for hidden items and unlock new Routes.

There are even special versions of certain Pokémon that can only be found within Routes on the Pokéwalker, giving players added incentive to keep their Pokémon with them wherever they go. The Pokémon in the Pokéwalker will gain Experience Points as the player walks, and can even go up one level when they are transferred back into the game. Players also can wirelessly connect two Pokéwalkers to trade items.

Players will return to the beloved Johto region, first encountered in Pokémon Gold Version and Pokémon Silver Version for the Game Boy. Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version introduces players to several new enhancements for the series that enrich these timeless adventures. The games feature detailed graphics that spotlight the unique environments and hundreds of Pokémon that players can encounter and catch. Players can even see and interact with their favourite Pokémon outside of battle, selecting one from their team to follow behind their Trainer as they travel through the Johto region. The games also include robust touch screen functionality, allowing for smoother control and seamless navigation by the player.

TIME TO GET ANIMATED WITH YOUR NINTENDO DSi! - Download Flipnote Studio for free on Nintendo DSiWare

Aug 14, 2009 / News


DSi_Flipnote_Studio_logo.jpg


 Download Flipnote Studio for free on Nintendo DSiWare and start sharing your cartoon creations

If you've ever wanted to create your own cartoons or animated movies, then head over to the Nintendo DSi Shop, as Flipnote Studio launches today in Australia and New Zealand on Nintendo DSiWare - and is downloadable for free!

Do you remember seeing old-fashioned flip-pads when you were a child? You draw a sequence of images, one per page.  Flicking through the pages at speed creates the illusion of movement - which is exactly how cartoons are made today. Flipnote Studio is an application which allows you to create these animations on your Nintendo DSi!  These animations can then be shared online via a special service accessible with the Nintendo DSi: Flipnote Hatena.

 

 DSi_Flipnote_Studio_ss1.jpg


Using the Flipnote Hatena with Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, you are free to trade, grade and save animations from all Flipnote Studio users. It is even possible to continue a Flipnote created by another user. User-created Flipnotes can also be watched, evaluated and commented on devices such as a PC via the Nintendo DSi: Flipnote Hatena website.

Click here to visit the Flipnote Hatena website...

Click here to view an exclusive insider interview: Iwata Asks - Flipnote Studio 

One single Flipnote animation can have hundreds of frames, meaning there is plenty of scope to get creative - but the software remains simple to use and no technical knowledge is required in order to create an animation.

DSi_Flipnote_Studio_ss2.jpg


The tools are very simple - a pen, eraser and paint brush, with three colours available: black, red and blue. You can adjust the speed of the Flipnote, copy and paste pages or 'frames' and even import photos as black and white images from the Nintendo DSi Camera Album.

Once an image is imported, its contrast and saturation can be adjusted using a slider system for different visual effects and an outline effect can be applied to make an image made up of outlines, as if drawn into the software. Use the Nintendo DSi's microphone to record sounds for your Flipnote, such as music, speech or sound effects... Then you are ready to show and share your creation with your friends and family!

There are some additional tools for expert users - such as layering, shrinking, enlarging and advanced recording - and you can save your animation to an SD card to play on a friend's Nintendo DSi.

Two users of Flipnote Studio may share Flipnotes using the Wireless Communication feature of the Nintendo DSi, and when Flipnotes have been shared between users, they can save each other as friends on the Nintendo DSi system and on Flipbook Hatena.

Head over to the Nintendo DSi Shop and download Flipnote Studio for free and start creating your own cartoons!
