That's fair because we can only buy TimTams here in the UK from specialist stores
Haha. I was on holidays in Noumea and discovered Tim Tams in vending machines. Full-size packets too, not those "snack" sizes. I was surprised to say the least. If we can work out something similar for Pop Tarts...

I'll be working when it comes out, and then I have to hope Nintendo sends me the code all right. So by the time I get it downloaded it could like 8 o'clock at night.
Would it be a missed opportunity starting a town that late through the day?

Wait... So if I transfer my 3DS into my new Pop Tart, it deletes the game? That sounds royally dumb.

Never played Animal Crossing dude. First time for me and such. The anime movie cleared it up for me on who is who, but I think that movie was based on the original AC.
Yeah you have to redownload it after the transferI think it removes the game if you transfer your data (you can still download it for free). If not, I'm very pleasantly surprised
What a sick promotion ! Too bad no one around me will buy himself a 3DS
so if anyone is interested PM me and i will give the code away to a fellow AC gaffer

It essentially only transfers the license, not the data. That's why you have to re-download it.

What do you mean? Here it's $35 retail and $35 in eShop.
I really didn't want any digital games on my 3DS but I think I'm going to cancel my amazon order and making this the exception
It is based on Animal Crossing Wild World, and yes it's very good.
I don't think it deletes it. If you just copy the SD card files from the old 3DS onto the Poptart's SD card and then perform a system transfer everything should work. ...I think.
It sounds like he's talking about transferring from his old 3DS to the new Poptart which already has AC installed so it wouldn't delete the game then, I believe.
The movie's based on WW, iirc. Been a while since I saw it, but I remember it being pretty cute.
The fact that retail games on the EU eShop is £40 is such a big slap in the face. It should be the same price as retail

Who made the Animal Crossing film? Is it the same team behind the Professor Layton film?

I'm going to watch Dobutsu no Mori at precisely 11:33pm June 13th! If any GAFfers care to join me in counting down...
Oh right, completely forgot about that. D:

Oh it's an EU thing? Wow, that is pretty sad.
You start a New Life, you give up your old one.

This. So much. This is why I'm happy my partner is participating in the experience. I won't feel guilty about spending so much time with New Leaf because he'll be doing the same thing.

Yeah! It's still not great pricing, but better. It's sort of insulting that they insist on a 1:1 $/£ conversion. $35 is £22
It's on YouTube with English subtitles.
Wat! This is great news! I hope the days of the £40 eShop games are over

The thing is, even if they brought the digital price down to RRP, most retailers sell under RRP anyway. ShopTo are doing it for less than £27. So it's still not worth it.
EDIT: Apparently, as above, it's £35 in the UK digitally. That's still £8 more than ShopTo and certainly £5 more than pretty much everywhere else.

Nintendo needs to offer some kind of discount service for the 3DS, not unlike the one offered with purchases of the black Wii U console.

So, I'm not sure if I should put my Friend Code on Gaf or not. How does it work? Would anyone be able to come into my town and do whatever they want? Would one-time Nook shop be bought up by other players? I'd love to be able to go to other towns and get weird other-region items, but I don't want my little ecosystem to get messed up.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced and trustworthy means of obtaining NoA/US eShop prepaid cards? I'm based in Australia and most online stores have charged a premium for just a code.
Oh, awesome. Did you notice on your Club Nintendo account the banner has now disappeared? I think it's because we've claimed it and just have to wait now until next week.
Has your banner disappeared too?

Even if you put the friend code on the sheet, you'll still need to type the person who added your FC anyway. And it's your choice if you wanna let anybody in, you either keep your town gate open so your friends can get in or close it off and noone gets in. When they come to your town, yes they can pretty much do what they want in it.
It has. I winder if it returns when the code is released. Or else I have no idea where to find it

Oh, thank you for the screenshot! That really REALLY helps!
Did you claim the DKCR? If so, how long after release did it take for that to appear?
Oh yeah, I'll choose DKCR 3D too as my free game, even if I already finished it on Wii.
Ooooohhhhh! That is neat. Thanks for showing that

I believe people claimed midnight of release, I logged in when it was 9pm Friday XD. Just don't wait for an email they tend to be late, just go and log into Club Nintendo at the midnight of AC's release and it should be there =)
There's a seller on ebay by the name of madproffessor that sells codes for $2 under their worth ($35 card for $33, etc.). You can request they just send you the code in a message; did this and it worked out fine for me.
note: they have a limited supply so I'd hurry if this is your plan
Wait....AC is preinstalled on the LE 3DS XL?
Yes, fully digital version.
