People can't visit when the 3DS is off, so unless you leave it on with the gate open all the time they couldn't do any damage.

Well, I had planned to always leave it on, with wifi, and the gate open. I guess I am not doing that anymore.

Has this been posted yet? Chop down my trees if old.

Old, but that reviewer and I have the same last name, so he must be good.

 

[WheelHoss1]

Seconded.

Cool. Ordered it. But I kind of suck at racing games compared to Dark Souls or whatever!

 

[XaosWolf]

I didn't realize you were referring to that review... oops.

RIP in Peace my trees.

There was also this:

Sorry for the spam but...

Telegraph UK has reviewed ACNL and gave it 5/5 stars!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/10096208/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-review.html

Very very impressed!

But dibs on the fruit too. =)

The stream is going out of control.

MASS LAUGHTER !

Anyway are people going to reset their city until they get the fruit/friend they want ?

Explain the last, please? Never played an AC game before and this sounds intriguing...

Add me, my name and FC is in the master list. I am not that great either, but I do have like a six months headstart.

Coming!

 

[WheelHoss1]

Gonna play this Non-stop on the glorious AC 3DS XL next week.

Those look sweet.

 

[KojiKnight]

Resetting for fruit? Nah... though I do hope I get butt fruit (peaches). They make the town so festive.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

Looking forward to paying off my virtual debt. I need to work on a town name so I don't waste my first three hours of gameplay thinking it over!

 

[Kouriozan]

Pop-tart! Yummy!

You're assigned random villagers, layout and type of fruit that grows in your town at the start of the game.

Though someone mentioned using the train again until you get one you like, I think.
Someone confirm that again?

Butt fruit or cherries are the best fruit.

 

[Philia]

I had oranges in WW. So I wouldn't mind any other fruit besides that for sure.

 

[eudaemonic]

Went to Gamestop to preorder the 3DS XL and they wouldn't let me, saying preorders were closed. I checked their website and it's still up there. My question is, if I order from Gamestop online, do they charge when it ships or when I order?

Edit: Nevermind...I'm an idiot

Yeah, mine was being processed today. Discovered it on accident. I pre-ordered as soon as they showed up on the website. They probably closed the store pre-orders because the amount they plan on shipping to each one is now set.

 

[Kuntz]

If I'm not mistaken your city can only have one sort of fruit at the beginning, chosen randomly, as are the villagers.

Some players want a certain fruit, or certain neighbours, restarting a new game as long as they don't get what they want.

I won't do this, even my face will depend entirely on random things.

Why am I reading this thread?!

I adore Animal crossing, but don't have a 3ds. I can't get a 3ds just for one game right! Right?

Truth be told though I prefer the GC Animal crossing the best, still roll the old girl out at Christmas and hang out in my old village.

 

[zigg]

I always seemed to get either apples or cherries. I've forgotten exactly but I think my Wild World crop was apples.

Something about me just screamed "red fruit," I guess.

I adore Animal crossing, but don't have a 3ds. I can't get a 3ds just for one game right! Right?

Luckily for you, Nintendo makes a 3DS XL for this express purpose.

I got a 3DS on just the PROMISE of Mega Man Legends 3... at least you know Animal Crossing will be out in a couple days

God I remember the furore. I wasn't even on GAF at that point, I was on a little place called 3DSForums, it was crazy.

Surely this toaster would have been more appropriate. Shame on all ye who used the first result for "toaster" on GIS.

LMAO that's what I just googled too. It was in the second row of image search but zigg did a brilliant job. :3

 

[BooJoh]

Anyway are people going to reset their city until they get the fruit/friend they want ?

I'll be restarting until I get Biskit. He was in my GCN village and instantly became my favorite villager. I restarted for him in AC:WW (which had the stupid mechanic where the villagers who like you most are most likely to move away) and then I didn't restart for him in AC:CF, hoping he would just randomly move in someday. I played hundreds of hours, completed the museum, got a perfect town, etc, but never saw Biskit except in the city on occasion. It sucked.

It was determined that you can't. An ID is written to the 3DS which needs to match the ID written to the save. It changes each time. Purposefully done, it seems, to stop exploits.

So wait, if you back up the entire game file to a PC or whatever and then continue playing, or start a second town on another SD card, you can't go back to your backup, even on the same 3DS system?

This toaster is so 80s.

That thing should just automatically put sprinkles on whatever you're toasting.

Correct. That was actually the topic of the thread I discovered this issue in. It extends to backing up of towns, too, apparently.

I'm going physical now anyway, so it doesn't matter to me anymore.

 

[Sleepy]

Any chance Ninty lets GS or Target or Amazon or....break the street date?

Oh wow, hadn't realized this was the case... Doesn't effect me either way... But it's something to note.

This page makes me post this again. Credit goes to BGBW. :3

Credit goes to Lucent! :3

AND a bonus! The reason why I pick Rosie. :3

She's such a chipper cheerful personality I just adore so much.

 

[zigg]

Nintendo won't "let" anyone. Stores will do it anyway though. Presumably the ones whose systems don't block sales of street-dated games.

 

[Sleepy]

Crap. June 9th it is. GS never breaks street date it seems.

 

[zroid]

Whooooooooooa. That stinks.

A certain banned UK online retailer is notorious (in a good way) for shipping items early. Then you have the fabled Amazon early delivery, though that's something I've never been privy to.

 

[Stoof]

I had oranges in WW. So I wouldn't mind any other fruit besides that for sure.

I think I had pears in WW, which I love pears irl but they are the most boring looking fruit in game.

Amazon says I may get it the 7-8th, so I'm crossing my fingers!

I wouldn't mind pears actually. I like the color green over orange and red.

They are kinda boring :/ They blend a just a tad bit with the trees.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

At the Nintendo World Store, you can get it a day early at their event.

I'm very much thinking about going for that opportunity alone.

 

[zigg]

I primarily cared about the save issue inasmuch as I was concerned my SD card might possibly crap out and destroy my town—could I back it up periodically? No. Physical release alleviates that concern for me since the save chips on Nintendo games are legendary. I wanted to back up in case of miscreants, too, but that seems impossible.

Here's one reference about the issue. I don't recall where the original was.

[peanutbutterlatte]

My favorite IRL fruit is Mango, so I will be stockpiling mangoes. I will make a Mango Room. It will be refreshing and summery.

 

[XaosWolf]

Were the AC apples Red or Green? Because I don't enjoy red apples.
