The DS Flipnote ARG Digital Horror Series
Ойындар
Flipnote Hatena for the DS is a memory to any child who was fortunate enough to have a DS growing up. Almost 20 years later, Flipnote for the DS is still thriving, even as an ARG/ Digital Horror Series. The June Archive Project is a channel and twitter account based around recovering lost Flipnotes. These were supposedly saved directly after the Hatena servers closed in 2013. However upon recovery, it's clear that something is different. Some disturbing aftermath occurred once the servers closed, and as more flipnotes are recovered, more of the story unravels

i feel like some people were kind of disappointed when instead of classic flipnotes they were getting ARGs instead

The dead frog could represent how this flip note with the frog could be showing how flipnote studio is gone possibly being uploaded right before the servers shut down since the mascot was a frog

That actually does make sense, since, before the frog dies, the screen glitches out.
When I was a kid I loved Flipnote Studio and seeing all these classics put in a new light is about the coolest thing I can think of when it comes to ARGs
Love how this ARG has such a specific demographic, makes it hit even harder

I'm definitely fascinated by this ARG because I've never seen anything like it: the flipnote universe being kept alive and twisted by a malicious entity kind of reminds me of that one episode of Justice League where the crew gets sent into a world created from the desires of a psychic mutant.

I was a resident of flipnote back in the day and also remember some people making flipnote city a thing and when it was announced that flipnote 3d would be a thing some people held hope to "move on to the new town" of flipnote 3d unfortunately that never happened so i wonder if that might be part of where some of the concepts are from it will be interesting to see where this series goes it is really nice to see alot of the unique flipnote culture being represented
oh god that whole "turn the time back" part of the theory aged really well

This horror series gives me “learning with pibby” vibes. Everything is gone, corrupted; Just as the pibby series. Also, everybody can just go into another flipnote. As in pibby, the apocalypse allows you to go through different cartoon universes.
The catclock looks like Nova from Kirby Super Star with the "two-sided" face of Joel G's character Ena.

Finally someone popular covers this arg! I was lucky and found it early but I'm still happy that this is getting more popular.
Here's me theorizing on the importance of a keyboard with no "r" key R is used in one important thing, The word Restart, also the command for reset is R in most video games. Also in the significance of the clock, the word Rewind needs a R. Then again I might be COMPLETELY wrong. Let me know Edit 1: after thinking about it, there's another important r word. Return. So it could mean " there is no Return", "there's no way to go back(Rewind,Restart,Reset)"
I cant believe that my favorite DS app has turned into an arg EDIT: I just noticed that this arg has flipnotes I have seen which I think it is cool
Fun fact!: If you remove the first layer of the flipnote, you may find a secret!

I used to play flipnote all the time!! I still have my old DSI and it still works!! 😄😄
Flipnote Hatena was my jam as an early teenager, and I couldn't be happier to see a whole ARG, especially one with so much love put into it, based around the service. I was actually friends with someone back then who was a pretty big name on Hatena, Dillon K., but we lost touch when the service shut down. We met through a purple star contest that he held, which I ended up winning, despite my admittedly lackluster art. It also got my character Angel a spot in one of his later animations. He was a sky blue fennec fox character, a Sonic OC, at the time. It would be bizzare and awesome to have Angel make a small appearance in the series, but I don't even recall how well the Flipnote he was featured in did, and my own original Flipnotes weren't anything special. If they're going to be digging up all the more popular creators' Flipnotes, though, I'm sure Dillon will make an appearance at some point.
Fuzz the mischevious furball has recently posted another announcement. It was about 9th aniversary of Flipnote Hatena's closure, which then it changed into "turning back the clock a bit" and "altering the present". So i guess you're right. The furball has some weird intentions with Flipnote Archives and the time.
This is gonna be interesting. I used to use Flipnote on my DS all the time. It was loads of fun.
So far we got several GMOD ARGs and now a Flipnote ARG... does that mean we could get a YTP or an SFM ARG.

Idk if a YTP ARG would even work tbh. I'd like to be proven wrong but it just doesn't seem like the kind of formula to properly pull one off.
Theory: The clock cat is fuzz and all these flip notes with The clock cat is Hatena’s encounters of fuzz’s attacks

lol yessss
the cat is using the clock thing to visit the animations right before they die so it can get the power of whatever that void thing is and the animations need stars to survive thus the dude stealing them from others
I remember stumbling across this series totally randomly. Ironically on my youtube playlist I keep my own archive of flipnotes(both ones I remember/ones I stumble across) and the first one from the June Archive Project I stumbled across was the Mcdoodles one and I went "Huh a new one, I thought I already got this one 2 days ago" then proceeded to watch it and get introduced to the concept. Its one thing to just randomly stumble across it when you never knew about hatena but its whole level of mind screwing to see popular flipnotoes that exist somewhere in your brain that you haven't thought about in over a decade get distorted. Sometimes I will stumble across a old flipnoote and I go I don't remember this one than like 6 seconds into it, my brain has to reformat because seeing the beginning of the flipnote unlocked the memory so to speak.
seriously the “I hate my life and I want to die, I have no iPhone!” song flipnote would make a perfect fit for this ARG.
this was the first arg i got interested in since the DS is so memorable to me
theory: in archive announcement 2, Fuzz mentions how nostalgic they are and that they wish they could go back not to preserve, but to change something. I think the archives are looking for something that could have saved flipnote and use it or find some way to retroactively extend it's lifespan. What better a way to archive something than to make it so that it never went away to begin with. that red vial in the latest flipnote they posted might have something to do with it (liquid nostalgia maybe?)
I never left willingly from Hatena, nor did I want to give up any of it, but everything just f---ed me over, I'm pretty sure I can still dig out those memories from my DSi, it isn't completely destroyed and I remember getting a new SD card just to save as many flipnotes as possible, from some old ones I made, separate on to a different sd card to my favorites and classics, and I remember the last few days we had on Hatena, I saw videos of people saying their goodbyes and thanks and some hoping that we would actually get a place to move to... sad to say that 3ds spin off... was not it. It makes me sad, as remembering back on this I know for a fact a lot of those known creators felt the pain faaaar more, I still remember some names too. Truth be told this ARG seems to be following in the same feeling I had... wanting to turn back the clock, because believe me... I would if I could. I want to, there is no doubt about it. But now hear I go back to those times, I know I'm going to have a hard time getting this out of my head for a while.
I love the June Archive! I look forward to their future videos! Fantastic video yo :)

The Flipnotes Changed, I like this ARG Idea, Its Creepy, And I like how it Shes the Files of the Recovered Flipnotes being Corrupted, And a Reference of "Living in the Past" This is Interesting!
This video is outdated now but i got a theory:the more stars a flipnote has before the shutdown, the more powerful it gets and the more longer it survives. The ones who beg for stars now destroy other flipnote who don't have enough stars to get powerful enough, and take their stars. (As seen in the Kirby flipnote) in one of the most recent uploads, the stickfig from the "I can walk on water I can fly" or "Lone Warrior" flipnote still survives, now heres where my theory comes in, since the flipnote the stickfig is in gained ALOT of stars he has the power to fend off the flipnote who desperately need stars, also another possibility is:if that clock machine really IS the thing archiving them, it could be that the more stars a flipnote has, the longer the machine takes to download and save them, as theres more data in their file. But thats just a theory! A FILM theory! See ya next time.
I had a DS, but as an adult. The GBA came out in the Americas on my 16th birthday.

I'm so happy seeing your channle grow! Congratulations!
I’ve been waiting for someone to cover this!
if Pixels sees this, he must be known about the new episodes of the archives project (the dude at the end of the kirby flipnote was called starface)
It's finally out! I remember you talking about it on stream
I wish I didn't break my DS on accident when I was younger
This is such a unique ARG idea, I can’t wait for updates
1:05 that sound is so freaking funny
back in the flipnote days, star face was an old myth from what ive heard
This is my favourite arg the concept is actually amazing :0
I love how this Arg captures the parts of the internet I kinda miss

ok but whoever animated all of this is a legend
I think the figure in the kirby one is named starman/starface since that's what kirby says would "get him" if he didn't pay up stars
The intro makes it feel more like an epic game trailer instead of a horror series
ok this needs a follow up as of now we have new episodes and a unlisted video showing that lone warrior might have a role in the june archives
I love posting flip notes still to this day
interesting, more creative horrors!!
holy crap, it's almost the 10 year anniversary of when flipnote hatena closed
ARGs and Flipnotes? Heck yeah!
HEY! This is the reminder there has been new uploads on the channel that you should cover :D
Looking at their sudo posts, the cat clock looks like a character from the third flipnote they uploaded
I never heard of the Flipnote Studio until I saw the series "Flipnote Mario" that was a Manga styled anime and it was wonderful! But it's been discontinued.
Really well made video tbh
i’ll never forget forcing my brother to join my pictochat room just to bully him
I don't know why, but that cat clock thing reminds me of this old, like, Soul Eater animation or something. Could just be the moon icongraphy honestly. Well done on the vid nonetheless!
finaly someone talking about this
goose boose sent me to your channel lovibg the content so far
Finallly more people are finding out about this!
The disappointment of Hatena 3D is immense here. People were expecting Flipnote Hatena 3D to come out, but they ended up shelving the service for over seas players and kept it in Japan and I’M STILL BITTER.
The frog glitches out when it says times so short
I wonder how the original animators feel about this arg?
4:47 this animation is so good like the hell?
Maybe there was a corruption in the FlipNote servers, so nintendo had to shut them down and hen the corruption took over the servers, then it put all the FlipNotes into different Corrupted servers.
I think the factor of what really really gets to me big time about this ARG is one when I first like my first console was like the DS or without the BS or BSI and I didn't have many games all I had was new super Mario Bros which me and my brother beat many many times cuz we spent most of our days watching memes having a good laugh. And just as it is with like the ARG it just gets my mind in a state of wanting to save what my childhood was
Hit home hard

arg aside HOLY THE ANIMATION IS SO GOOD but i also really reallyy like the arg
Man, they're really getting out there with the ARG
