Sweet.

Im gonna change it back to regular time before I go back to bed, but i was litterally stuck with nothing to do. I just downloaded the game.. so i want to atleast play it! haha

I know that feel man. In the past games I did nothing but time travel during the night, or when there wasn't something in the store I wanted. Finally playing it the right way with AC NL. But let me tell you, that temptation was there when I got at launch during midnight. I was barely strong enough ;_;

 

[nbthedude]

I don't know what happened today.

I wandered into a store just to kill some time. I've never owned a handheld console nor even given it a thought - I'd always assumed that portable games are for ADD kids who couldn't handle reading a book on the bus or waiting 5 minutes for something. But a few hours later it's still sinking in: I now own a new 3DS XL and Animal Crossing.

I blame all of you guys in this thread. And the lack of Wii U games.

Don't feel bad. I got the system and game for my partner for his birthday and accidentally forgot I pre-ordered a copy from Amazon eons ago for this same purpose. Friday I picked up the mail to find another copy of Animal Crossing New Leaf.

Now I haven't really played this series since the original Gamecube game but as soon as I found that copy in the mail, rather than acting like a rational person and planning on sending it back, I immediately started thinking about drivng to town to pick up my own 3DS XL.

In fact, I am still contemplating it even though I could just play his.

 

[Elija2]

Hey, can you ever get money out of the piggy bank you get from the post office? Whenever you use it it takes 1 bell from your wallet, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get it back.

 

[bananaman1234]

Anyone have peaches, bananas, mangoes, or persimmons to trade? I have oranges, lemons, lychees and durian.

 

[nbthedude]

I'll be there in a few. He's finishing his last sale, I think

Yeah all done now. Thanks, again. Sorry I only had peaches left. Sold all my other fruit earlier in prep for turnips tomorrow,

 

[Bloodworth]

I was going to play this for an hour this afternoon, then get back to The Last of Us...

 

[perfectchaos007]

Hey is there not a dumpster in this town? I don't want to pay 80 frickin bells to throw away cans.

 

[Drkirby]

btw I think some people dont know: interest is back in this game, so keep yo bells in the bank

Where else are you going to keep them? You can only hold so many at once.

Yeah, I'm rationalising it as a birthday present for my girlfriend but deep down I know I bought it for myself (don't worry, I got her proper gifts too ). It's like there's some crazy One Ring attraction going on.

no, but you can get a trash can for your house to toss them for free

I don't think the dump has been around since the original. I kinda liked it.

But you can buy a trash can or use one of your neighbors.

You can make a trash can as a public work project, but it takes away town beauty points, so your best bet is having a trash can furniture item.

Oops, sorry for leaving Jesse; I have a fetish for visiting Japanese towns so I picked it up from one of my visits.

How exactly are you getting Japanese friends to visit their towns?

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

I kept seeing neat looking bugs suddenly fly out of trees I bumped into, so I've started bopping random trees with my bug net in hopes of catching one off guard. Is there a better way of doing this?

The Island.

Entering and leaving International island until one understands me :lol

 

[Deleted member 125677]

I never enjoyed any sims game, why do I love this?

 

[Labrys]

Entering and leaving International island until one understands me :lol

Oh, gotcha. Can you register eachother as friends on the island? (Look at me, learning things about New Leaf!)
All I get from International Island are a bunch of antisocial people. :I
And people who scare off sharks and beetles as I'm catching them. Maybe I'm doing it too early.

Can't stay for long, but I'm on the way.

Ah good to know.

And yes there was a dumpster in CF. I believe it was in the post office.

Well, you share your FCs on the island (I take pictures of their #s with my phone) and leave island to input and then visit posthaste.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

The Island.

I meant the bugs hidden in the trees. Are they catchable? Is there some way of identifying trees with bugs in them?

 

[Labrys]

Oh, I see now. Thanks.
Might try to get myself some Japanese friends now.

 

[Bloodworth]

the only hidden bugs are spiders that pop out when you shake the trees - the rest just rest on the trunk - walk more slowly and you should see them before they get spooked

^ Basically this.

I was having the same problem but found them much easier to catch on the island. Some fo the bugs blend into the trunk really well so you might not notice them as much.

 

[Alex]

I love going to the island just for the Kapp'n songs.

 

[PAULINK]

Repost for this page.

Thanks for this, was going to head over there anyways to pick up a ps plus card.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

That was a lot of fun. thanks, guys!

You are a true AC fan.

 

[grandjedi6]

Can you get Violin Beetles without chopping down trees?

Ah, thanks you two. I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled, then.

no, you should have a few stumps around

[madp]

Does the catalogue that allows you to purchase any item that you've ever had in your inventory from Nook still exist in this game?

 

[Niraj]

The fact that Isabelle's bells jingle when she walks is way too adorable

 

[Labrys]

Does the catalogue that allows you to purchase any item that you've ever had in your inventory from Nook still exist in this game?

Yes, it's just only available after the first Nook shop upgrade.
