Quick question, I'm going digital. The eShop says it'll be available at midnight. Is that Pacific time? So 3 am eastern? I got a flight at 7 am on the day it's released, so I'm hoping I'll have enough time to wake up and download it before I head to the airport.

In my experience with downloading retail games at midnight, midnight actually refers to Eastern. I don't believe they actually make people in other time zones wait until midnight in their own, but I might be wrong.

Depends... Amazon aren't necessarily very... good. Monday, I'd say.

I'm lucky, Amazon.fr usually ship the game the Tuesday (Nintendo release in Europe are always the Friday).
So if you're extremely lucky you're getting the game day -2, but I seems to always get it day -1.

You think that's bad, some jerk from another forum I go to changed the date on his 3DS to the furthest time and date that it can go and then sent a Swapnote set to open 7 days after that. But since the clock can only go up to that day, the note will never open. Pissed me off when I found out. Fuck that one person in particular.

Wow. That is seriously bad. You can delete the note though, right?

I agree it's the perfect game to have available at all times but there's no excuse for the price inflation that digital distribution unjustly demands. If anything it should be cheaper. Even if it were the same price though I'd buy it digitally but it isn't so I've gone physical.

I love to have the freedom to sell games if I want by having the physical. But mostly I love to look at the cases now and then. Hopefully the "manual" will actually be a book, and not a pamphlet, or a sheet telling you how to look up the digital manual like in DKCR:3D.
It's so going to be a sheet of paper... :(

I bought myself Art Academy today ! Dont want to be embarassed if i see some of the Swapnotes :D Expect some great drawings in the near future :))

Hahahaha! I did the exact same thing when I got my 3DS...

If nothing else it at least helps you get used to drawing with that awkward stylus.

No! I must resist, I want the snow versions to be a surpise. T-T

8 am is nice, sounds very classic AC.

I've added a few of you guys from the last thread, but I still have plenty of space on my friends list. My FC is 1418-7999-1321 if you'd like to add me. Be sure to send me a PM if you do and I'll add you back.

Looking forward to playing this with CrossingGAF. And checking out the OT once work starts to slow down.

That is quite frankly the most horrible thing I've heard. I'm assuming you cannot delete a Swapnote until after it has been unlocked? Meaning you're stuck with it forever...
Click to expand...
Nah, you can delete any Swapnote. Did so a long time ago. But it was on there for the longest time before I figured it out. Pissed me off.

It's okay, it was probably just a drawing of dickbutt.

That would be hilarious, but i'll never know.

Yikes... the lengths some people will go to mess up a fun thing.

Jeez. It's actually cool that could happen but yeah, I wouldn't want a locked swapnote to sit there for all eternity just taunting me.

Amazon UK ship games the day before release date. I've never used them for a release date game since. Luckily with the digital version I won't have to, I hate waiting for post, Royal Mail are beyond useless.

I'll be eligible for the free MH code too! Giving it to my brother.

NoE is fantastic. Free AC and another MH3U worth £80 for nothing!

Manuals for 3DS games have been quick start guides since the beginning. Don't count on anything more than that for Animal Crossing.

If you're lucky you may have a nice inside cover.

That's a good point. I think I'm mixing up games like Zero Escape and Tales of the Abyss, which have full on manuals.

I can't wait to get a Poptart* 3DS with New Leaf pre-installed, transfer all my old data to it, then download the whole game again! :D

* I use this term, but I don't even know what it means. Is it some kind of snack from the US?

DKCR3D was over 17,000 blocks and I think that was an hour for me, so the DL speeds are pretty decent. Especially if AC is only going to be 6,000.

So if anyone has seen the Animal Crossing movie, this further reinforces my small hype of getting to know villagers and their backgrounds.


...I did not realize Sable and Mabel were both sisters all this time.

Edit: For clarification, I tend not to read wikias to avoid uh...spoilery stuff or whatever.

It's only Nintendo specifically who has gone the pamphlet route for 3DS. I think pretty much all of their games didn't get proper physical manuals. Well, since Ocarina 3D, anyway.

The best discovery I've made is that AC:NL comes pre-installed on the poptart, so I can just turn it on, port my data over, and start playing right away. No waiting to download how ever many gigglebytes it'll end up being.
