I have the demo but I don't wanna touch it.
I have no doubt that the game is shit to the core but as I've said in the demo thread, I've played a lot of crap games from start to finish.

It's going to be a long wait transferring my OG 3DS to my AC 3DS XL and then redownloading the digital version.
I think a lot of the newcomers are expecting to be able to play for hours on end in the first couple of days. I also fear that people won't like (or haven't yet understood)the basic premise of the game where you have to find something to do on your own as the game really doesn't tell you what to do after the introduction.
Of course if they've actually sat down to read up on this, it might not be the case. To be honest, I see this series as a love it or hate kind of series.

Dunno if this has been posted yet, but Crunchyroll has the Shizue/Isabelle Nendoroid for 30 bucks for the next 2 hours. Less if you're a member. Cheapest i've seen it: http://www.crunchyroll.com/store/deals/472/nendoroid-shizue-isabelle-pre-order
That is a good deal, but with shipping it's going to end up around the same as AmiAmi (SAL Unregistered). Either one works, though.
Only Isabelle so far; hopefully they'll do more later.
Just Isabelle right now. Knowing Good Smile, however, if she does well there is a good chance more will be made.
They seem to be (as always) focusing on Hatsune Miku right now. Another Nendoroid of her was announced for Anime Expo.
Having played the digital version for a few weeks now, I can absolutely tell you that I'd now never consider buying this on cartridge. I don't totally trust Nintendo's download system, but for Animal Crossing, having it always on your 3DS and easily accessible is definitely the way to go.
I've been contemplating this for weeks now. It means I would be getting it at 9pm Saturday. But I keep holding out I can find it physical sooner.
Plus, owning the card feels more substantial for some reason.
Tempted to do this, but I don't really see the point...
I mean, there's the nice box art. And the club nintendo coins. But I don't think I could manage two towns, especially if one is easily accessible and the other I have to insert a cartridge for...
It sucks that I won't be able to play together with midnightreleaseGAF but I can still play with retailcopyscrubGAF in a couple hours while waiting for my poptart.

I did this with Fire Emblem; my digital copy rots with my FE 3DS.

I could always get physical when it bargain bins...
rots?
As in, collecting dust?
That's what I've been saying in the thread for some time now lolol.
Nintendo and bargin bins don't go together
Yeah, was going to say this. Wasn't Mario Galaxy still $50 until they did the Nintendo Selects thing?

I'm so late to the party, there's so much thread to go through and I'm getting the shivers that I'm gonna be buying and playing this game /again/.
They are. Eventually.
Wild World was full price a couple years ago when I bought it new for my ex-gf so we could play.
I spent almost double on the game as what I got the DS Lite for from a coworker at the time.
It's one of the things I respect about Nintendo, even when it hurts my wallet or makes me hold off on a game. You know they aren't going to drop the price on a game in the next three months so you don't feel screwed for buying day 1. Off the top of my head, Atlus is one of the few other companies that does this.
I <3 Atlus. I just do. Them and Nintendo are both awesome companies.

I gotcha. Gonna piggyback on you and pimp out my FC 4012-4101-0401. I'll see what happens.
this is a silly reason to "respect" them
I got a 3DS this year, Mario Kart 7 was released almost 3 years ago, everyone moved on (besides random online matches) and if I wanna get it today it would cost me $40
I get that Nintendo doesnt reduce prices because their games always sell, but from a customer perspective there's nothing "good" about it. I'd very well take whatever "I was screwed!" feeling I might have if they drop the price later if it means I can wait on the first party games im not DYING to get and buy them cheaper later. It's silly to try to spin it.

Don't feel like throwing my FC out there but if anyone wants a cool dude to hang out in the world of AC, shoot me a PM. Been playing since the original on GC so, I'm pretty much a veteran up until now with all the new stuff they're throwing in.
A month ago I was thinking "Damn, so close but so damn far." and look where we at now. Well, I say this with almost every game I'm anticipating but finally, the TRUE sequel to Wild World has finally arrived. New Leaf is what the Wii version was supposed to be. But I'm not going there.. It's 2AM, I'm tired.. and I'm excited.
Brawl Tournament on Sat. ACNL on Sunday. E3 starts on Monday. Nintendo's Direct on Tuesday with Smash Bros. E3 madness the rest of the week. Holy shite, what a fantastic week it's going to be

So this is will be my first time playing an Animal Crossing game and I wanted to know if it would be better to buy the digital version or physical version. Also any tips for a first timer?
Probably digital for access.
Fishing rod is a money maker. Foreign fruit is gold. Replace all trees with foreign fruit (will require a handful of axes). keep 2 or 3 of your native town fruit in case people visit. Also, keep about 15-17 non-fruit bearing trees (preferably pine trees). Shaking trees sometimes drops bells, items, or bees. In Wild World I think 17 trees was the sweet number to always shake a non-fruit tree and have something drop.

Mario Kart 7 was released merely 18 months ago and hundreds of thousands of people are buying it and playing it for the first time every week on an ongoing basis.
Also it's better now because the online is patched and more reliable, and skill of racers is much stronger so you can be guaranteed to play against people around your skill level and have an enjoyable experience.

Animal Crossing is a great game that can be played in small sessions so buying a digital copy is going to be prefered in that sense and any streetpass heavy title lends itself well to always being on the system.
One upside to having a physical copy is being able to pass around the cart to friends who are going to play in the same village as you. You'd still be able to just pass around or lend your system to friends if you opt to play it this way, but you'll be without your 3DS. Most people are fine with the online play though. I personally enjoy playing asynchronously with my girlfriend in the same village so I may just go physical as much as I would prefer a digital version.
Assuming you use Club Nintendo, have you reached Platinum? If you would like to save the coins for next year your better off getting the physical version as the digital one automatically registers the coins.
It's a 2011 title, I know people still play it and mentioned as such, im just saying that it not going on sale EVER for even $30 is the kind of stuff I dont like about Nintendo, specially since now they have the platform to do so (eShop), and the defense for it being "I like it cause you dont feel screwed if you paid $40!" is just silly to me.

Someone on CAG said their online order from BestBuy shipped. I haven't read anything about GS shipping orders yet.
I'm kinda worried at this point.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Is there like an online guide/program/template for designing flags? I can't for the life of me draw a pawprint for Beaston.
Also, two more days huh?

So do we know the exact timetable for the different ordinances? If I set my town to night owl will that make it forbiddingly inaccessible to people playing on other ordinances, or will it just make it for convenient for people who play later?
