Hmmm. I bought my copy from Amazon USA, and it expected shipping to take until next Wednesday. But my order says it's shipping now! Yay! I could get it Monday or Tuesday at that rate.
I think I'm going to go digital because I have $10 in Eshop credit I may as well use. I've never done this for a retail title before due to Nintendo's awful DD policies, but saving $10 plus getting it at midnight might push me over. I understand that the game will save to the sd card, but is there any weird encryption that would prevent me from restoring a backup of that data?
Saw this one.
Sorry, quoting for new page. Same goes for backing up the game itself.
It was determined that you can't. An ID is written to the 3DS which needs to match the ID written to the save. It changes each time. Purposefully done, it seems, to stop exploits.
Yes, this was posted earlier in the thread:
I think it only works properly if you backup after every save.

Saw this one.
So do we know for sure the timezone of the "midnight" eshop launch?
I suppose i'll find out tonight, i just have work Sunday morning and am curious if its worth staying up for.

Midnight EST, so, 9pm Pacific.
Copy contents of the card to your computer, dump them onto the new card, easy.Does the 3DS XL have the game installed on the SD card? And if so, how do I transfer that over? Because I have a 32gb SD card I was going to use. Like is the game tied to my account when I set up the 3DS for the first time? If that is the case, can I just re-download it from the E-Shop?

With the Animal Crossing bundle? Its on the SD card included. If you wanna swap out the SD card for a bigger one just save the data on the 4GB SD card on a computer and copy the files to the 32GB. The game is tied to the 3DS and if you every delete you can just redownload it from the eShop. If it's stolen you cant get it back(unless you call nintendo and file a police report which is really stupid tbh)Does the 3DS XL have the game installed on the SD card?

I hate you. It was long... And it's totally your fault.It probably will.
Picking up my 3ds XL bundle tomorrow, will return then with my friend code once I figure out what the heck it is
EDIT: I'm a member now
Thanks for the reply. That doesn't sound bad at all.
It's tied to your system, not an account. So yeah you can download it as long as it's the same system. There's no reason why copying the contents to the new card won't work though.In case that doesn't work, you were right. The game is tied to your account and you may redownload it anytime from the eShop.
I'm not an Animal Crossing guy, but what is there to do at night? I was playing last night at 1am and no stores were open, and there was no one to really talk to, so I had to turn it off even though I was ready to play all night.
Thanks. Couldn't resist, started my town today but will go digital at midnight!I'm pretty sure the save data transfer tool works with all games.

:<I was able to get a bundle and a copy of the game for my little sister at the World store. Oh and by the way...

There's no proper account system for the eshop.Well, your account is tied to the system... so it's kind of apples and oranges.
IIRC, Blathers is awake at night, being an owl, so you should be able to do some stuff for/at the museum?
Or is the museum a public works project?
Wow, since when were there official unboxings? Haha.

I'm almost positive I was able to select symbols alsoSilly question time as I don't have the game yet. What characters are allowed in your (town) name? Just letters and spaces or also numbers and symbols?
4GB isn't going to be enough to sate me and my eshop needs! D: Oh wells.
