UK code has appeared now =D

Downloading now with TLOU soundtrack in the background. Going to be a great weekend this

 

[mktrOOp]

Log into Club Nintendo. Should be on the CB home page (when you click the big Club Nintendo button)

Oh yeah, thanks!!

 

[Danielsan]

Just bought it. Downloading now.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Up in the UK, LAWWWDDD IT'S HERE!!!!!

 

[Robin64]

It should be up for UK too already!

No, we have to wait an extra hour. Always have. Still says "Coming to Nintendo eShop".

Edit: People with a code can get it early, but purchasers have to wait. ;P

 

[nin1000]

Under settings in the eShop

Thank you soooo much !!!

 

[Animekatt]

Are there a lot of Island specific fish? I've been fishing for a while and all I keep catching is clown fish and that damn sea bass. I've caught like one Napoleonfish but that's it.

Did get a BUNCH of nice bugs though.

There are a TON of fish at the island that are different. Deep-sea diving too.

 

[Vampirolol]

Yeah, I love you little kid with my code in your hands!

 

[Mafro]

Still haven't received my code yet. I'm guessing the UK has to wait one more painfull hour.

Check on the website. I'm in the UK and the code is there.

I have found an enormous number of fish species between my town and the island. I'm on my fourth or fifth day of the game. I guess they become more apparent as time moves forward?

I am making bank shark-hunting on the island.

 

[JordanKZ]

Got my code here in the UK. Logged out and back in again and it just appeared on the banners. Woop. Downloading now.

 

[daxy]

No, we have to wait an extra hour. Always have. Still says "Coming to Nintendo eShop".

Ah, I guess it's only the So Many Games promotion that gets it now then
My bad!

 

[kubus]

I got the code!!! It's finally here!!! Oh god yessss

 

[Danielsan]

What's this thing about a code for the game? Did I just blow €40 on something that I could have gotten for free?

 

[Doopliss]

No, we have to wait an extra hour. Always have. Still says "Coming to Nintendo eShop".

The download code I bought from game.co.uk worked just now for me, currently downloading.

E: It was £5 cheaper than just buying from the e-shop as well.

 

[nin1000]

Will take a nap now and up to a fresh start tomorrow thank god i took the day off

 

[InFamy]

Demolish a town? As in delete it? That really sucks.

Yeah but its kind of my fault though. Explaining what it means to demolish a town to a 7 year old when you know they like to mess with you is asking for trouble lol.

 

[miksar]

Good thing I live in Russia. Already got my free code, downloading now.

 

[Robin64]

Codes bypass the "real" release. It's how reviewers get their games.

And my Club Nintendo isn't showing my freebie code either, after logging out and in. SIGH.

 

[Timeless]

Are the screenshots uploaded through i.nintendo.com to Twitter the maximum possible quality? (Does AC NL save JPEG in low quality or is the quality just because I'm posting to Twitter?)

 

[Spades]

What's this thing about a code for the game? Did I just blow €40 on something that I could have gotten for free?

Nintendo's 4 for 3 promotion, I'd guess.

 

[Danielsan]

Nintendo's 4 for 3 promotion, I'd guess.

Ooh *phew*. How long is that promotion running for by the way? I bought 2 games so far. Might just get a third one still.

 

[SuperSah]

GUYS.

MY CODE IS HERE. EARLY.

YIS.

 

[Dacvak]

The so many games promotion. http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-3DS-So-Many-Games-Promotion/Overview/Overview-750393.html

Well holy shit. I'm eligible for this.

 

[Kangi]

Oh, so that's why you should only beetle farm later at night. I'm getting nothing but grasshopper spawns.

 

[syoaran]

Also got my code and downloading. Going pretty fast on my crap connection - nice work Nintendo ^^

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

WELCOME, EUROGAF <3

 

[Noaksey]

Gots my code!!! YAY!! AC:NL.. I could cry

The code I had didn't work 30 minutes ago.

 

[-GJ-]

Thanks again for the gifts, Mario's kart looks awesome ! I guess your review is gonna be written in dutch ? I would have liked to read it otherwise !

Oh nice, be sure to post the link when it's ready!

Will do. Yeah, it's going to be in Dutch, but there's always Google Translate, I guess.

 

[Khaz]

are there any downsides to this??

None. Games are registered under the same club nintendo account, they are multilingual (default being the console's), there is no location check with the credit card or the IP.

The thing is, Nintendo fr, uk, de, etc exist only for customer support. In reality there is only one Nintendo of Europe entity. Which is why we had problems with -18 games even outside of Germany.

I used my UK credit card in the french eShop while i was based in the UK. Never had a problem.

 

[Deified Data]

Turned off the game for now but..

I'm officially a mayor!

Ooh, you got Tia. She's adorable.

 

[ZAMtendo]

I'm downloading it!!! At 50% guys!!!! Message me if you want an add!

 

[Robin64]

The code I had didn't work 30 minutes ago.

That's great. It's still not officially released in the UK. Trust me, this will be my sixth digital game, they come dead on midnight here. The eShop still says "Coming to Nintendo eShop".

The code gave you a bypass, even if it was only by one hour.

Aww no! I hope it shows up for you soon Robin : ( you tried clearing your browser cache and stuff?

Also makes sense, weren't people with the Pop Tarts able to redownload AC soon as they did the transfer thing. I assume the game is uploaded to the sever prior to release and tested on the network prior to release, it's just dummied out to public till midnight release day

 

[iMarkyP]

An little code kid, you little blinder. Downloading now, I fear all the shops may be closed though right ?!?

 

[OmegaFax]

How to say this ... I might have an addiction.

 

[BGBW]

So my fellow Brits are downloading just as I call it a day.

Since everyone does it:

Bonbon the bunny is currently my favourite citizen for giving me medicine when I got stung by a bee. No stung face for my ID photo HA HA HA!

EDIT: HA HA I just noticed the flower and rock are almost identical to those in empressdonna's photo.

 

[Spades]

Ooh *phew*. How long is that promotion running for by the way? I bought 2 games so far. Might just get a third one still.

Claims for free download codes must be completed by 11.59pm on 31st July 2013.

I have the feeling you're going for a particular theme.

Haha, that's really awesome!!

First day in game and it's getting dark. Does anyone have their gates open, I have cherries.

FC: 3625-8164-7535

I've added you. My FC 0001-3321-1065. Name is Jay. Native fruit is pears (if you're still at that point). Thanks!

 

[Zeldana]

Can you guys post pictures of your town map of what is personally ideal for you? I kind of hate my layout now that I think about it

My ideal map never showed up so I chose the next best thing after five or six restarts:

I ran around all eligible towns and for whatever reason this one felt the best. No idea why everyone's avoiding the left side like the plague, though. =P
Someone needs to move so I can build a bridge across the middle part of the river...

 

[Toma]

First day, 10k loan paid off and now off to a nightly bug and fish hunt to prepared for tomorrows loan.

 

[Robin64]

It's just typical, actually.

I ordered from ShopTo because you usually get games early with them. Everyone got theirs today, except me. The postman only delivered bills. I was going to sell my free code to a mate or something.

So now the post failed, I thought I'd get the freebie one and sell the retail one. Now everyone has their code.. except me.

Someone really doesn't want me to play New Leaf...

Animal Crossing: New Leaf sets digital sales record for Nintendo from Edge

Animal Crossing: New Leaf&#8217;s first week sales have set a record for digital sales in its first day, as Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced to analysts at E3 this year. In Japan, it has sold more than 4 million copies.

It also seems to have the capability of selling hardware, as Nintendo 3DS sales increased by 400% since the previous week.

Nintendo also pointed to the tendency of players to continue playing Animal Crossing titles over a long period of time.

You should just go buy a code right now... I mean, you already have 2 copies of the game, might as well own a third, right?

YES

IT JUST WENT UP

Not enough room. You get, what, 18 "shelves" in a storage compartment, so it's pretty limited.

Your house grows huge, though. You get an 8x8 main room and I'm almost positive you get all the other rooms to be 8x8 as well.

So main room, 3 side rooms, second floor, and basement makes for 6 8x8 rooms in a fully upgraded house, about 7.5 million Bells.

That sounds fantastic, thanks. Again, I had no idea there was so much growth potential in this game. 6x8x8 is a LOT of space!

I don't think so, at some point you will have to sell your stuff.

But you can keep track and buy all items you have acquired, just check the shop catalog (unlocked later in the game).

Ah, I remember check that thing out! In the long run that will make things much easier. I was already getting a bit worried given how incredibly unorganized my locker was becoming... There is even a search function in that Nook catalog, very handy!

Animal Crossing: New Leaf sets digital sales record for Nintendo from Edge

http://www.edge-online.com/news/animal-crossing-new-leaf-sets-digital-sales-record-for-nintendo/

It really is THE killer app in my opinion. Don´t get me wrong, MK7, Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter etc are all fantastic games, but AC:NL is pretty much the perfect portable game, and also the game with the most "Nintendo magic" in it.

This won´t shut up the "I WANT NINTENDO GAMES ON MY PHONE!!! WHY DOESN`T NINTENDO WANT MONEY?"-people, nothing will. But while I kept losing faith in Nintendo time and time again, NL has really taken me by surprise and proves to me that they still got it (at least when it comes to handhelds).
