Sharing in the Western versions is limited to local wireless connections or saves to the SD card. Moving Notepad 3D is supported by 30-day paid passes with actions like viewing or posting animations, Favoriting a creator, or Liking an animation requiring the use of Star Coins somewhat like a monetized version of the Miiverse. No reason was given for the removal and return of the app in Western territories but in the time that it was available users noted its lack of functionality compared to the Japanese version. It has since returned in other territories as well while the Japanese version (known as Moving Notepad 3D) has remained free and available to download since release. However, Flipnote Studio 3D returned to the My Nintendo rewards catalog in North America no later than November 20th, 2016. The unofficial Facebook fan community posted a reminder on April 28th that the app would no longer be available after April 30th in North America, Europe, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil.
FLIPNOTE STUDIO ONLINE CODE
Existing Club Nintendo users in North America - and those who signed up for a My Nintendo account in early 2016 - were issued a download code for the application. Flipnote Studio 3D was available for a limited time to North American, European and Australian users through Nintendo’s loyalty programs: Club Nintendo and its successor, My Nintendo.
