Lovers of portable gaming and cool gadgets will no doubt have seen the reviews of Playdate go live last week. Panic’s cute throwback console is a celebration of simpler gaming times and we were lucky enough to get our hands on one early \u2014 we found it to be a delightful little yellow system<\/a>, one that sends us back “to a time when handheld video gaming was a simpler, more innocent pastime, and every new experience felt fresh and exciting”.<\/p>\n

Beyond the new games it comes loaded with, Playdate is also an open platform with developers of all sizes able to create and distribute easily-loaded software for it. One such piece of software is Playnote Studio<\/strong>, a neat little app for anyone who misses Nintendo DSi’s brilliantly simple animation tool, Flipnote Studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Nintendo’s animation app might be unavailable to download these days, the short flipbook-style masterpieces created using Flipnote Studio can be viewed on Playdate using developer James Daniel’s software. The app is based on a previous web-based player<\/a>, and it uses the console’s crank to let you wind forward and back through the animation frames.<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s Flipnote apps attracted a dedicated, passionate following and still stir feelings to this day. An April Fools’ Day prank back in 2020 which ‘leaked’ a Switch version led to copious amounts of fan ire<\/a> directed at the pranksters. That same year, one fan revealed an incredible 34-minute animation<\/a> painstakingly created in Flipnote Studio 3D<\/a>, the 3DS version. Yep, that’s some dedication, right there!<\/p>\n
