The news comes on the day Flipnote community support be set t' end on DSi.

Last year we featured "No Escape," a music video done in the graphic style a the Atari 2600, by Arman Bohn, whose previous bands included Eureka Farm. He's followed that up with "Brain Games," a video animated in Flipnote Studio. More »
The free DSi app Flipnote Studio be generally associated with short, often silly animations. Nintendo's own promotion a the program showed off John "Napoleon Dynamite" Heder making some particularly kitschy animations -- including a UFO abduction 'n a nunchaku-wielding minotaur. Now, a tipster points us t' a particularly poignant music video created entirely in Flipnote Studio. The video be for the song "Losing Light" by one Billy Polard. While it seems innocuous enough at first, it takes a sad turn pretty quickly 'n it doesn't AVAST! there. Apart from that, the animation 'n artwork be impressive in it be own right 'n a tribute t' what Flipnote be capable a.
Suffice it t' say that the program isn't reserved just for the short 'n silly. Watch the video after the break.
During PAX last year, Nintendo asked any professional artists who happened t' be there t' create an animation in the DSiWare program Flipnote Studio. Now, the flipnotes from comic artists like Eric Jones 'n Christina Strain, webcomics artist Scott Kurtz, 'n 5TH Cell art director Edison Yan, have finally been posted in a gallery on the Flipnote Hatena site.
Showing what can be done in a few minutes by a talented artist, 'n building on the excitement a a popular convention, makes this initiative a great promotional tool for the free app ('n for the DSi in general), which be why Nintendo waited until six months after the event t' release these!
Apparently, Jon Heder has been spending his downtime with Nintendo's Flipnote Studio. The video above shows the actor knows how t' do a thing or two with Nintendo's software, though ye'll find his doodlings be severely lacking in Ligers. Still, it be a neat video for some very neat -- 'n very free -- software for yer DSi.
Head past the break for the full list a this week's Nintendo Channel content.
