Japan gets DSi sketch animation sharing with UgokuMemoChou
Allow me just one last "this is awesome; you can't have it" link for the morning: via andriasang I see that Nintendo has partnered with web company Hatena to let users of the upcoming DSi downloadable sketchbook animation app Ugoku Memo Chou (Moving Memo Book) upload their creations to a full-on YouTube like video sharing site.
The site's already launched and is currently populated with demo movies from the app's developers, including the slightly sinister one above [stripped out because I couldn't get the embed to not autoplay, and the music was driving me crazy], some stop motion claymation done via the DSi's camera, and some otherwise quite impressive animation.
This one wasn't originally on my tentative shopping list, but I might be having a re-think.
