This reminds me i've still got lessons to do in the first one, 32 lessons is a lot so it should blow the original away content wise.

Both it and the original for DS were designed with the XL models in mind, IIRC.

I see. I've never heard of Colors 3D so I assumed it was someone's username.
This makes the temptation to buy the 3DS a bit stronger for someone who is interested in learning some new techniques.

What titles?

This alone justifies the existence of 3DS LL.
Back in the day I tried the demo on my Phat, then played the actual game on my DSiXL and well, a bigger screen does make a huge difference, once you try it you cannot go back.
That being said, I hope they'll bring a new version on WiiU, it just asks for it, hopefully this time around they'll let export/upload drawings outside the cartridge.

Battalion Wars 2, House of the Dead Overkill, LotR Aragorns Quest.
SH Downpour was a different studio.
Dancing with the Stars
The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Top Gun: Hard Lock
Was made by Vatra Games, a different studio under the Kuju umbrella.

I can tell you I think I have actually learnt something from the one on DS; iin a short time I somehow managed to draw some decent pears, oranges and trees, although I found the most advanced lessons to be a trifle too hard for my drawing skills.
I am more than happy with Colors 3D. I think any of the notable features of this Art Academy title are featured in Colors 3D, but the lessons are something that's definitely lacking. That may have me recommend it over Colors, but if the pricing for AA is around $30, Colors may come out as the better deal (under $10, can't recall the real price).

Apparently Colors! is currently the most purchased eShop title, which shows how much people are interested in drawing; so in case it doesn't cut into Art Academy sales, I think this one will sell really good too.
At least I will get it day 1.

good. People and especially kids need to draw.

Cant wait for a Wii U version though. Zoomed view on GamePad and full view (or different zoom level) on TV screen is going to be amazing for this. Should be a killer app for non-gamers and anyone who loves to draw and paint. I would also love a cartoon academy, where I could make my own Simpsons episodes.. [homerdrool.gif]

Seems kinda expensive for what should be a $5 app

Whoa. I don't think you realize the value of proper lessons.

Wii U also needs a pictionary game. Instant win.

"This product does not require age classification."
Since when is this a thing? Even Wii Fit had to go through the ESRB.

First one sold like crazy here in the UK, was a big holiday title for Nintendo. I expect this one will do similar.
fabricated backlash

I agree. I would pay 10-15 Euro at most for this. The original was also overpriced. Still, Art Academy is probably the best teaching tool for painting I've seen so far.
And this seems to be even more feature rich.
The two DSiWare apps cost 8 each, which seems fair. The retail release was 30, but still a huge success.

I liked Order UP too(there's a demo). Was surprisingly addictive
...Since like, forever?
We don't have the ESRB in the UK. We have BBFC and PEGI, who can pass a product as educational (ie. no age classification needed). Also, the game hasn't been announced for the USA yet.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Won't things like this feel worse on a 3DS XL with the giant pixels? Like you'd do one slightly diagonal or curved line and yet see it drawn in a clearly jagged way picking the closest pixel in a seemingly inconsistent way? Anyway, I'm really interested in software like this and will definitely get it if I end up buying a 3DS (probably not XL). It's too bad there's nothing like that for the iPad.
Can you point me to a $5 app like this one? I've been looking for one for ages (since getting the iPad2). The better art apps I've seen on iOS cost more than $5 outside the occasional sale and don't include any lessons whatsoever. Or usually any kind of realistic behaviour, they mostly are very photoshop like in how you do the colors and use the brushes and other tools.
Colors! 3D always had the "Photoshop-feel" while even the original Art Academy produced natural-looking paintings much more easily. Since New Art Academy now has pastels and a blender tool, it's likely to produce even better results.
If you like drawing, I believe both are worth owning.
Everyone says the DS Art Academy was much better to use on the DSiXL. Also, the pixels in the 3DS XL have almost the same size as those in a DSLite, but there are more of them so the screen is bigger, so they aren't "giant" by DS-standards. Do you think a 50" TV looks more jaggy than a 26" one?
Wii Fit has "gamey" features. Art Academy is strictly an application so it should have no need for ESRB ratings.

I meant compared to the normal 3DS, not any others. Since the resolution of the XL is the same but it's 90% larger, almost double.
Great news, i prefer the natural look to the brushes in Art Academy compared to colors 3D. With Art Academy I could paint results i couldnt get elsewhere, Colors!3D's titular 3D is nice but I feel like im using a way less practical version of my tablet and computer. Wound up not using it much to my surprise
Hope it comes to NA and with an eshop release!
(also the real real megaton for me is Freaky Forms Deluxe! Never heard of it before reading the OP. sunk hours into the original game)

Yep, this 100%. Colours 3D is a straight up, unapologetic digital paint tool designed to leverage the convenience and flexibility that only a software tool can afford whilst Art Academy is a full fledged paint and pencil simulator designed to mimic the real thing as closely as possible for better or worse. They are very different products with very different goals and each have their advantages and disadvantages.
