Nintendo EAD employees, Yoshiaki Koizumi and Hideaki Shimizu, collaborate on a side-project for fun: a drawing app using the Nintendo DS touch screen which could send creations to a Wii for presentation on the big screen. Koizumi helped evolve the idea to support making flipbook-style animations with sound effects from the DS microphone. At the time, neither knew that the Nintendo DSi was in development. Initially, one of their colleagues dismissed the idea, thinking that nobody would want to make flipbook animations on a game console. For a while, they considered using the local wireless feature in the DS to let users share Flipnotes among friends, but they wanted a way for people to share their creations with the wider world. The development of Flipnote Hatena begins. Over several weekends, Teppei Ninomiya takes up a temporary residence in a condo in Tokyo and develops the first prototype within just three days of work. From October, he is joined by a few additional Hatena developers to begin working directly with Nintendo inside their Tokyo offices. After roughly three months of work, Junya Kondo of Hatena presents the announcement of Flipnote Hatena. Following the demonstration, Kondo spoke about the Flipnote Hatena website for the PC and shared some details about its development.
