Color! us impressed
There’s something that needs to be said about applications on the 3DS, and that’s simply that there should be many more of them. Not only should there be more apps, but there should also be some really great apps that take a simple concept and turn it into something incredible using the 3DS’s technological capabilities...

Ever since Nintendo introduced the touch screen on the original DS, it was clear to artists that there was plenty of potential to produce art without the need to dig out a canvas and materials.

this looks cool . i think i am going to get this.
Yeah, I can't wait for the release.
I remembered when this developer started out with DS homebrew! I thought it was one of the greatest homebrew available at the time (not to mention great artwork was made on it) and what do you know! He/She released it in the appstore and now finally it's coming to the nintendo store
Is it free or must we pay for it....
Is this a good art program or should I save my money?
I'm really looking forward to this, everything I've read about it looks like its a good and well thought-out program, though I'm rather sad it looks like it was originally intended to be out in 2011 and we still don't have a date? Anyhow still can't wait
Please have a zoom feature, please have a zoom feature.....
I saw this game in "Nintendo Show 3D" and it seems quite interesting. I really love to draw in Swapnote and I would really enjoy Flipnote Memo when it's finally released (anyone knows something about it???) and this game seems quite quite well too! BUT I'll wait for NL review to decide if I'll get it day one or not!
If only this game allow to export the images and to insert them in Swapnote without loosing the 3D effect would be AWESOME =D =)
April 5th is supposed to be the official release date for this...omg I cannot WAIT to get this!!!
Here is an interview of Jens Andersson, Colors!3D developer:
http://www.gameblog.fr/blogs/lordsinclair/p_61901_jens-andersson-interview-colors-3d-for-3ds-working-with-nint
(in English, but on a French website)
Very interesting, he talks about Apple/Nintendo. You also have a few line of source code... in C++ !
@Flam Hey thanks for the link! Nice interview Even if I'll buy this app day one (tomorrow!!) I wish there are reviews available to read as soon as possible Will NintendoLife do one? =D =)
@metafaniel Of course, Nintendo Life reviews every single game you can download for a Nintendo console
Just downloaded this on a whim since I love drawing and painting, etc. Hope it's good!
I got this, and I have to say, its everything I would have wanted in a 3DS drawing app and then some. Seriously, its well worth the cost. If you have any interest in drawing, get it.
Why its awesome:
Great tutorials teach you everything quickly
Great tools: Eyedropper, Undo, Huge color wheel, Hard or Soft brush, Slider for brush width and opacity
Great features: 5 layers of 3D, Zoom in and out to work in greater detail, Playback of a drawing being made to learn how it was made, Draw with a local friend
Easy to use controls
Make a copy at any point, or export to the SD card photo album to share- Exports are in higher resolution than the 3DS screen!
Online gallery at colors-3d.com : Easily upload to share online, View other user's works in the online gallery through the app in 3D and fav and comment on them, They actually allow some 18+ art (it is screened from users underage or unlogged-in visitors)
This is a must have! I've made a few art drawings in 3D and they all turned out great.
NL STAFF, Y U NO REVIEW COLORS!3D ?!
@Retro_Hype This is my fault. Review will be up shortly.
This game is Ballsa, go get this shizz. It's dyno-mite.

@Flowerlark I just checked out the paintings you did cuz I was bored. GREAT JOB! They were all gorgeous, and I especially liked the Pansy, Dark Mountain, and Sakura Samurai ones. Keep up the great work!

Here's something I did. I'm really happy with it but I need to learn backgrounds, heh.
