I was debating earlier whether or not to download the game at midnight or walk into the store in the morning. Stores in the game won't even be open at midnight and some villagers will be sleeping so I'm going the retail route.

I don't really trust downloading games from Nintendo digitally, but I think if there's any 3DS game you'd want to have always on your system, it's this one.
 
Congrats, you just had a Phoenix Down moment

DOWN.
DOWNNNNN.
LIKE DOWN OF A DUCK IT'S ACTUALLY FEATHERS OH MY GOODNESSSSSSSSSSSS

lol I know right? I mean, there's 'Boots' the alligator (gator-skin boots) and 'Lucky' (the busted-ass dog) and who knows how many others.

I didn;t even get those! Thought they were just random names! AUGH

Boots was just a stoner alligator in my village with an odd name and Lucky was a mummy pup. I am not attentive!
 
Oh yeah... If you put the turnips on tables they wouldn't rot.

The turnip market will be pretty safe for GAF though, considering there's so many people, someone's bound to have a good turnip price before a week is up.
It'll also be so easy to get certain fossils and gyroids. Trading is going to be so good.
 
But you guys did realise about it being called the "Stalk Market", right..? As in stock market? Buy low sell high? PLEASE?
 
After starting and playing Animal Crossing for the DS, I have decided that I HATE Animal Crossing.

I can't stop playing.
I... I can't.
I just can't.

One of us.
One of us.
 
You're telling me! I've to wait to get my poptart, I'll be SHAKING that damn thing just to get coins for the first time lmao.
Pro-tip: You've gotta shake your 3DS with a rhythm, ala steady pace =P.
I wish we could buy pink pieces for slightly higher prices T-T though every person I've street pass has nothing for me XD
 
YOU ALL KNEW.
YOU ALL KNEW AND YOU LET ME DO IT.
AAAAAAAAAAA.

Tom Nook sucks butt.
My neighbors are kinda cool.
I got a brown bear, a panda, and a blue frog.
The panda is a dick.
My house is pink, but that's OK.
I like seashells.

...I fucking love this game.

Put this in the top post for the OT. BEST REVIEW.

What about the "Harvest festival" (read: Thanksgiving) where the one who prepares the festival food is a turkey XD

In the previous games they want to eat the turkey preparing the food. You literally have to hide their silverware so they wont.

EDIT: Beaten, with a net...
 
Those of you fortunate enough TO BE PLAYING THIS RIGHT NOW..... where's the screenshots?
Embargo?

His house is also full of suspicious plants and his catchprase is "munchie".

Eheh.

Oh! Well he just went from 'novelty name' to 'greatest character!'
Plus, his name reminds me of the South Park episode where they parodied Pokemon and had one called Shoe. That was so damn funny.

Black Humour is a staple of AC =D, I mean we have a dog that's entirely bandaged called Lucky XD

Poor Lucky, if there's one AC character whose backstory is a must....

You also have that octopus named after a japanese octopus dish.

I didn't know that, you guys are on a 'making me feel silly' roll with some of this stuff :)
(still mind blown over phoenix down)
 
So far, I haven't figured out a way to keep the patterns in the game beyond your pattern pallet. So, if you want to add or make new pattens, you have to get rid of old ones. Of course, with the QR codes, you can always get them back.
In City Folk, IIRC, there was an 8-slot palette for your "active" patterns, display space at the Able Sisters' you could swap patterns in and out of, and the Able Sisters' shop also had storage where you could swap patterns out to inactive space. This last bit was new and made it slightly better than Wild World, which just had the palette and display.

I'm hoping there are more than 8 active slots in New Leaf…

(I'm also hoping I haven't gone completely senile with my explanation above)
 
What are the chances of my SD Card dying compared to an actual physical retail 3DS cart dying. I want to buy New Leaf on the eShop SO BAD, but now I'm paranoid about my SD Card corrupting and me not having a backup...

If you write over patterns, all uses of that patterns sans your flag will change to the new pattern.
So let's say you have a nice path way, but replace it with a pikachu pattern, your pathway will turn into Pikachu after Pikachu after Pikachu.
Villagers will also wear what's on display at the Able Sisters, so you might have people running around wearing "Brick road - Right Turn".

I think it depends on the SD card, really. A quality SD card in good working order should easily last the years you can expect to be playing New Leaf (I've heard 100K write cycles tossed around, and that's before the card's own wear-leveling), and I believe it gets used more often for all the other 3DS things than New Leaf will ever ask of it.

That said, the chip in the retail card is definitely engineered specifically for New Leaf use. So there's that…

I am gonna stick with download. I have faith in my SD card.
