Had the same problem with my regular 3DS, I don't think it happened since I got the XL.
Don't really have tips, sorry.

I have exactly the same problem. My 3DS feels slimy after an hour or so, especially in this weather... cover your 3DS in talcum powder?
DO NOT DO THAT.

I pulled it up to read myself, feeling very in the mood for some spooky animal themed adventure.
The link is here, but be warned, there are some pictures in the fan art section I believe, that fall under nsfw. I don't remember exactly where, so don't flip through the fan art if you don't want that. Also, starting on 4chan, it naturally has plenty of... 'suggestive' suggestions, but try to look past them, because this is one of the best stories I've read in a long time.
I am 100% not joking about possibly getting a Ruby/Nan half sleeve tattoo, I enjoy these so much.
You can't. At one point I started eating copious amounts of mandarin oranges to get the dry, non-sticky kind of juice that the peel has, in combination with a small cloth to dry my hands/clean the 3DS.
On second thought maybe the mandarins were just delicious.

Sweaty 3DSes? We're heading down that route.
So reading through the thread and I am getting a few things spoiled. I didn't know the mayor job was a mixup. Does this mean if you do a bad job the animals can vote you out and get the real mayor? Also, learning too much about items and shit. I may have to go into blackout soon.

You guys are all missing the mark. The answer is simple, and its what I learned the day I bought mine a year and a halfish ago.
Just cut off your hands. Bam! No more sweaty grip!
OH NO YOU DON'T. Halt, cease, and desist. Do not bring in innuendo. I feel it a little silly the last thread was locked for it, but I'll be damned if we get this one closed up before its even released here. Hush.

Nah, AC never really puts that much pressure on you.

I couldn't resist, I'm sorry. :lol
Anyhow, I really hope that this is the shortest work week ever. Next week will be too exciting.
I was thinking if that happened it would be nice to start a campaign in a friend's town and oust him or her. Maybe for the next one. lol

Apologies. I generally just don't notice it. I wipe my hands off a bunch of times, then try to ignore it. I haven;t found a way to beat it yet, sorry man. Maybe try using some sort of terrycloth between you and the 3ds?
The temptation would be way greater it didn't mean I'd have to delete Fire Emblem to make room. I love AC, but not enough to do that! Makes that choice easier for me.
Apparently the Target across the street from my gamestop may have it and they open at 8. I hope it's true, will be harassing them throughout the week till I know more. By that I mean giving 'em a call every other day or so.
Exactly!
You do what you want and the game will never punish you.

I think it's a good thing.
Ooh. I did that with Style Savvy. May do it again, lol. There's a Target in the same lot as my GameStop, so that's definitely an option. However, if I go and they don't have it, I don't want to drive back home, then back out there when GS opens.

Maybe it's because of the material the OG 3DS is made of? I don't have that problem with the XL, but it's matte finish instead of glossy so that probably helps. Could always periodically wipe your hands off and/or have a fan blowing at your hands (as impractical as that seems it does help).
And I only need 5 more points to get Platinum status on Club Nintendo. Think I should be able to get that with my Oracle games but I'll def achieve it. Hopefully it's something decent this time. I got those transparent playing cards and they're too weird to really play with. I should've gotten the posters.
But now he'll appear only once if you want
Yeah that's what I'm planning around now. I'm not doing anything else Sunday, haha.

Do you have to buy him or something?
I'm kinda curious about your legendary notes.
Could we maybe be friends?

Eh, when it's over 100 degrees, I try to avoid going out as much as I can.
Yeah, you gotta buy his building. Where you can befriend him to get him and his brother's pictures if you want.
If you reset once, he'll come and ask you to build his "reset center"
That sounds a bit creepy actually, just befriending someone for their pictures...
Are these pictures you hang on a wall or put in some sort of picture scrapbook?
Physical photo frames which can be placed anywhere. Every villager has one.
In all seriousness, a little talc (or baby powder) would go a long way.
Also, I never said cut off your arms, just your hands. Elbows are important to have!
They're like little portraits that you can put on tables. You can get them for just about every character including villagers.
I propose a war between all Arcadias.

Damn, I cut them off at the shoulder.. :/
I have a lot of Talc, so i'll give it a shot. Just sometimes my finger slides off my pad, real annoying.
My original Animal Crossing town's name is even less original than either of those, it was Awesome. I gotta come up with something somewhat original for New Leaf to make up for it.

The guy who put "GREAT ODIN'S RAVEN!" by his details in the Google Doc gets a big thumbs up from me.

We're all Arcadians, deep down.
Oh wow, maybe we should all have the same character's and town's name, this would be fun.
I'd also recommend cleaning your pad with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol (or soap and water) once in a while. The pads (similar to the 360/ps3 thumb sticks) can hold onto and build up some oily residue after a while. It's a good habit to clean them once in a while and remove the natural oil/sweat buildup.
Also, don't use a ton of talc, just a little bit goes a long way.
