My inner Animal Crossing fan has gotten the best of me. I've saved up enough money to purchase the AC 3DS XL bundle. Do you guys think it'll be easy to find if I waltz in on Sunday, or will it be all sold out? Or will it be coming in on Monday even (a lot of the time products come in the day after release date)? I'm in Canada btw, where the bundle is exclusive to Best Buy.
I was planning to just head into the store on Sunday and buy that bundle. But I have to catch a plane that day

Could I get a PM to the IRC chat's link? I somehow lost it and I want to keep it for bookmarking purposes.
Sure thing, I'll pm you. :3
Anyone who wants the link to the chat, feel free to pm me. I do not want this thread to be derailed by the IRC talks. Thanks.

Thanks! And definitely, I understand. This will (hopefully) by my last post about the IRC stuff.

uh guys i have a dilemma, I'm now contemplating in buying the game digitally. Which I never done for a game before...
can somebody give a pros and cons list for buying digital and physical
I looked at it this way
+ From what I hear this game would be perfect for it since you will be doing a lot of short bursts of play
+ Relates to the first since you will not have to switch carts all the time
+ No tax (in US at least)
+ Available at Midnight in NA from home
- No cool box art
- Not able to sell the game if you don't want it anymore.
The pros outweighed the cons for me. That's why I have lots of funds waiting in my Eshop

I'm considering the same. Never played an AC game, but think I'll probably give it a shot.
I think I'd prefer having it digital since you play in short bursts--I'd play less if I was always having to take out whatever game I was more seriously playing and pop this in a time or two a day.
The big downside obviously is not having the ability to sell/trade the game when I'm sick of it--or if I don't like it since I've never played an AC game.
In that vein, one quick question---how much does the game penalize you if you don't play for a while? That's my one worry as I don't want something I have to play every day or it gets screwed up as I'll sometimes get busy and not touch any games for a few weeks.
Just reading the notes in the picture got the song stuck in my head, lol.
Probably. How many people are going to look up the reference in a reference?

Question: has any european types gotten the free downloadable game for any other title prior to release? Wondering if Nintendo will leave me hanging over the weekend for my animal crossing code : (

Based on my experience in the original AC:
1) A character in the game will tell you how long since you last played (I think if you take a long break or do "time traveling").
2) Weeds
3) Roaches in the house.
4) Neighbors move out of town at any given time.
Other than 4, I think that's the worst of it, so you have little to worry about.

Why is the thread going so slow now
Basically this thread consisted of the same 15-20 people chatting about anything animal crossing. The mods didn't like how this thread was a "Low value chat thread", and they warned everyone to stop or bans will be issued. Now, most of those people have left this thread to avoid being banned. Since the thread is functioning like a normal OT now, it has slowed down considerably because -lets face it- there really isn't THAT much interest in animal crossing on Neogaf to warrant 2,000 posts per day.
You don't have to play everyday. I'm only speaking from experience in previous games, but if you don't play for a long time there's just weeds that accumulate overtime that you'll have to pull, and your house will be full of cockroaches that are fun to squish. It's a couple of weeks before it gets bad and even then you'll only spend 5-10 minutes running around to get rid of it all.
The fact that this thread moved faster than the football community thread says a lot I guess
But when the game is finally released I guess things will speed up again with actual Animal Crossing stuff to discuss. As a European that's another week waiting for me though

Well, I won't call a thread that reached 76 pages (counting 100 ppp) in 4 days "slow"...

Regarding the QR codes, since I'm too lazy to look and I also need to get my post count up to get towards member status, I'm guessing we scan the QR codes in-game to get said patterns?

How I made my desicion wether to pick up physical or go digital. The game is more of short bursts here and there than a long continuous play. So it makes much more sense to go digital. Also I only buy a few games (Gamefly/RedBox rest) and the ones I do I never sell off.

Thanks, some of these are great.
lol:
These are all designs made by people and free for us to download into the game?
That is glorious.
Yes, anything you make or others make get a QR code you can share.
It's slow NOW not always, but obviously Chezzymann explained it.
It's 9 per slot of inventory. It doesn't stack automatically though so you have to stack it as you pick it up.

DEAR GOD!
I had no idea this was possible.
Can't wait for some Doctor Who paraphernalia.
A friend of mine left me a little bundle last night!
Now I just need to figure out how to transfer my old system to my new baby without obliterating my copy of Animal Crossing!
:O Lucky you! System transfer is pretty simple just follow the on-screen instructions.
Thanks, some of these are great.
lol:
That cracked me up so much when I saw it ! I will definitely use it

thats what i used in city folk lol
There were some flags from all four that were pretty cool.
Yeah there is some pretty cool stuff made already.
So jealous.
Been scanning the local shops (including a few Meijers.) The best I got was a gal who told me I could buy it tomorrow. (?!)
+ resellable (as if you'd ever want to)
+ can be on sale for less than $34.99
+ town saves to some hardcore reliable save chip Nintendo was having a hard time finding in Japan for awhile
+ can get early if you're lucky
- you might lose the card somehow
- some people have pathological opposition to physical media
Digital:
+ always on your system
+ don't have to worry about stock (sounds like store allocations are low)
- subject to losing your town (though not your license) over SD card corruption, can't back up save (specific to this game… of course, I'm not aware of a way to back up the physical version either)
- might be slow to save if you have a slow SD
The d-pad thing was in City Folk, but YESSSSSSS indeed. Now let's get stacking sea bass and I'll be Super Happy Man.

I think the only fee is when you got to the Able Sisters and pay to create the design. After ou have it you can place it as much as you want.
Okay, that's good to know. I'm not that creative but I'm sure the internet is. Bookmarked that website for future use
Also, the screenshot option is something I really like. Think I'll use it a lot.
Oh man that looks so good.A friend of mine left me a little bundle last night!

Can you share it online without that iOS app?
Sorry if the question's dumb, I'm still educating myself.
Dunno what that card's actual rating is, but I'm sure it'll be OK.
Some other cards are indeed dreadfully slow though. I originally replaced my original 2GB with a 4GB microSD I had lying around and it was awful. Now I'm rocking a 32GB Sandisk Ultra instead and it's very nice.
I'm trying, man. But those darn cashiers are blocking me! Like I said, though, local Meijer clerk said tomorrow, which I'm kind of amazed at—probably enough to go back and check in the morning.

Yes. You can save it to your SD card, and upload it through there.

Haha... someone didn't try and locate Fire Emblem near launch
Fire Emblem is nowhere near Animal Crossing's popularity.
