If it's midnight Eastern like others have said, then it's about 1 day, 15.5 hours to go.

1am, from saturday to sunday, right?
(if that´s it, its better than expected! I was thinking 2 or 3am)
Yep! I looked it up, and saw that your time is an hour ahead of EDT.
Thank you katt!
This fits perfectly with our plans (plans of not falling asleep 9pm like we usually do)
We will see you in our towns!

Damn, you guys are soooooo lucky. All the stores that I go to don't allow me to get it until release date. Why do all the stores by me have to follow the rules?
Can't come soon enough. I've been checking random stores with the hopes that it was put out early accidentally.... wandering around town like a lost puppy....

Only two more days. I can wait.

Ugh... Everyone's getting this early and I'm stuck with my unreadable Japanese version. Whyyyyyyy...
Does anyone know if you can use the QR Reader if you are visiting someone else's town that has it unlocked?

I don't think so. They could scan the QR code for you, and put it on display. You could then pick the design up.
What design are you wanting to use, exactly? It may be easy to replicate it by yourself.
Also, if you guys didn't know, LinAndKo picked another winner for their giveaway. I didn't win. Again.
I have horribad luck...

Its getting harder with all these early copies >_<
I'll probably set it up for Download Later and get to bed early. My wife played her copy for a bit over a hour last night, but when you start at midnight, there's not much open.. or to do.. in your town until morning.
The tent in the beginning is hilariously cute. I've been mostly on a 'blackout' from the game, not seeking out information on it, so most of it will be a surprise. She found a genie lamp already and her two tools available this morning were shovel and bug net.

Go to bed early? But then you'll miss the fun on the live stream as we burn our village down
I know that feeling

I have a Japanese town that has the QR reader unlocked so I was thinking I could use that one for some QR codes I want for my US town. In all the Animal Crossing excitement I totally blanked on how it worked. What you said makes complete sense and makes me feel like a dolt for even asking what I asked in the first place.
To be fair, there aren't that many. I know, I know, easy for me to say, right. But even yesterday before I nabbed mine I was thinking, objectively, there's really just a tiny minority of people getting it early. It's just that there are so many people that want the hell out of this game.
Yeah, that was my plan originally before I decided to go physical.

I feel bad for the Euro Gaffers who have to wait another week. It's coming so soon here.. I can almost taste it.
Is there an actual manual in the case? Or is it the pamphlet?
I don't really have anywhere I could go for physical that would possibly be selling early. Walmart, bleh, Gamestop, bleh. I hate just being in both, plus they never seem to sell games early and there aren't really any small retailers that care less about it near me. So I'm still digital.
I will open it and check!
Tri-fold "instruction" pamphlet, Club Nintendo thingy, and "if you like Animal Crossing, buy DKCR 3D!" Those poor people.
Oh and also where the game card should be there is a little post-it that says "YOU SAP YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING THE GAME EARLY HAHAHA"
just kidding about the last part

Looking forward to picking up my copy later. First AC game I've played since the original.
That's what I figured. Thanks for checking.
So wait. I've been operating under the assumption Swapnote auto-deleted old, non-favorited notes when full. Doesn't it?at 2800 swapnotes this morning
thanks AC-GAF
deletion time

I wouldn't say so, this thread has barley gotten 1,000 posts in the past two days now. Its slowing down because of the mod's pressure to keep this thread from becoming a "Low value chat thread".
I'm not surprised, really. Hah. I had heard the rumours.
So why do people keep going in and manually deleting notes? Why not just let it do its thing?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Oh god, watching AC movie and suddenly Tom Nook talks... he's middle aged...
I would like daily updates regarding your hybrid growing please. I am insanely jealous of your head start...So I guess I'm the next one on the hate list.
Was picking up yogurt, swung by electronics, inquired, and there we go
Meh. It's not the OMG NO ACCOUNT system I care about, it's the quality of save hardware. I don't trust SD, even the quality card that I have. And save dataparticularly for a game like Animal Crossinghas long trumped other concerns for me.

AC will be $29.99 at Kmart but I think that's about it for deals.
You can only favourite a max of 100 notes, so I need to stay ahead of the auto-deletion curve.
AAWWWW man, you got it early too? Damn youSo I guess I'm the next one on the hate list.

I told you I would hate you!! Meanwhile in Europe - less than a week left!!!
Whoah! That's so cheap. I'm gonna pay 39 euros which translates to 51 dollars :/
Better deals in Canada. FS with trade 1 for free + $10 store credit with purchase, and SDM with redemption day this weekend.
thanks running some tests to see if my 3DS XL battery is faulty

Most of the people here moved to a chat room and are now being... well... themselves would be a nice way to put it. I'm idling in there and looking in from time to time...
Let's just say, despite the channel's name and the user's interest in Animal Crossing, there is very little animal crossing discussion going on.

I'd assume as much. At least they have a place to chat where they won't get banned.

24 hours for XL is really really low... With Wifi on, my XL can do 2-3 days. The original 3DS was the one limited to 24 hours. That said, the assumption there is also that you don't have many swap notes coming in while idle... If you have 100 people on your friend's list and you're getting 300+ swapnotes a day, your 3DS is going to go through it's power a LOT faster (since it has to go out of power save mode to download and process the swap notes before returning to it)

Most definitely. Don't get me wrong, I love me those people... It's probably more of an old man mentality looking in on a bunch of kids acting like kids and feeling very much out of place.
It would be like if I walked into a Chuck E Cheese without my daughter. I'd just be a random old guy in a room full of kids running around. Totally not creepy at all
(edit) Fail double post!
Is this correct? I was under the assumption that the swapnotes only DL when you open the application.
