NicoNicoDouga AKI!!!
Written by Jeshii on 2008.10.02 – 12:00 -So, NicoNicoDouga has had some interesting version names. There was β (beta),γ (gamma), RC, RC2, SP1, then they went with 夏 (natsu).
But then the season changed and now it is fall. So!
The new version of NicoNicoDouga is 秋 (aki)! Makes sense. After Summer comes Autumn. It’s simple. And the video introducing it was funny, saying 「文句あるか」 (monku aru ka, “Any complaints?!”) And, the 秋葉原 (Akihabara) tie-in potential can’t be ignored.
They were calling the next version… “Double Beta,” but no one really knew what that was supposed to mean. So they went with the natural next choice.
New features have been announced… many not yet implemented. Short explanation after the jump.
- NicoNico Points- Points you can use around the site, starting 10/15. I assume you have to buy these?
- NicoNico Medal Game (tentative name) – Playing pachinko while watching nicovideos? They are going for major だめ人間 points on this one!
- User NicoWari – Now you can set NicoWari’s (like the time report) in your videos?!
- NMM Version Upgrade – An upgrade of the NicoNico Movie Maker. Very exciting, especially since the old one was so lame but had so much potential.
- Page Changes – The design has changed here and there.
- NicoNico Commons new features
- New fashion collaboration with Suicommi Underground
- NicoAnime over the broadcast channels?!
What does double beta mean?! Who knows! Who cares! Anyway, I’m sure I’ll be writing more about these features as I figure them out. XD
I do miss the messages that used to be in the upper right hand corner though… ;.;
