Pretty much yeah, greetings from Newfoundland, it seems we've all changed usernames since haha.
Awww
If NOA would stop being a butt I would've been able to get AC because of LM2, DKCR, and FE. D:Save file protection? Please explain.

Well unfortunately, my DKCR3D code is going to my mum.
My second Luigi's Mansion 2 code went to my brother-in-law. =/

Aaaaaah, so that's how they're going to solve SD Card item/pokemon duping in digital versions of Pokémon X/Y.
Fortunately, the only SD Cards that have ever crapped out on me have been when I first received them and had to immediately exchange them.
I'm sure we'll all be in touch during the launch and hopefully play a good bit as well
Send me a PM sometime as well so we don't spam the thread with old friend posts haha. Back on topic once again. Even though digital has the majority of the benefits, I'll be going physical. Something about owning the boxes for games I love just makes me happy.
Did you ever get to play the games? D:
I've played all but the first one and I have a feeling that I'm going to get that magical first time feeling again from this game

So I like how the shop upgrades are on day timers as well as based on money spent.
Be easy to spot time travelers as it will be a while before you can get the department store nook upgrade.
Seems day 10 is the lucky day.

Definitely grab the Poptart bundle then. It's probably the best deal at the moment for a 3DS XL with New Leaf.
From what I gathered earlier in the thread:
Every time you save your game it generates a new, random "Save ID" and stores that ID in both the SD/Savgame and the 3DS's system memory. Trying to load a save with mismatched IDs will result in being forced to wipe the save.
This prevents two things:
1) Having two towns with one copy of the game by using two SD cards.
2) Reverting to an older backed up save to undo changes you aren't happy with.
Unfortunately, there's a third, collateral damage situation.
3) You back up your SD card, play AC, your SD card dies. You now cannot restore from your backup because the IDs don't match anymore. Your town is gone forever.

Yeah.. Speaking of time travelling and the store upgrades... One of the main reasons I would see people time travel (I did too for this reason) was so they could avoid the day where Nook was closed. It really sucked since then you were locked out of a lot of the game. Nowhere to sell your fish, bugs, fossils, fruit, etc.
But with Re-Tail this time, that problem is solved. You can just sell everything to them and they don't close for upgrades!

haha, ok. I think I'll do that.

Yup. Day 10 is also when the first nook upgrade will happen (assuming you've spent enough, which you almost certainly have), they were closed today, but I still made a ton of bells farming on the Island and sold at re-tail.
Near as I can tell, re-tail pays more than the nook kids. But I've only tested a few things.
Buy it and love it

I'm the same way, I've always enjoyed playing AC games, but I've never been legitimately hyped for one before. Well, I got close with WW but I didn't have a DS until way way later so that might have been why I wasn't as excited for that.

Yeah, you want to sell nearly everything to Re-Tail in this version. The only exception is that Re-Tail charges you for them to take away trash and other non-sellable items, while Nooklings don't care. I assume you've noticed that?

Oh, yeah. Enjoyed the hell out of Luigi's Mansion 2, and I'm playing DKCR as we speak.
Gave away the LM2 code because I got 2 in one box, and the DKCR code because I don't need it and my mum wouldn't mind trying Fire Emblem. (She'll have AC and LM2 so she'll only need one more code)
I found an early review! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/10096208/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-review.html
My hype has only increased. I can't wait for my little poptart. The ache to your wallet is worth it Animal Crossing Gaffers!

If you do end up picking one up, send me a PM and I'll add you to my friends list. I like the cut of your avatar. Squirtle was always my favourite.

I haven't tried because the nooklings told me at one point that they don't accept the stuff...
Lying little brats...

Wait, really? It's possible that they don't either. But they definitely did in the past games, so with Re-Tail charging, I assumed that would be the one upside to selling at Nooklings... Test for us!

Yeah, I'll check it out when the store opens tomorrow.
Though now I'm guaranteed to not catch any trash...

I found this for you on another site:
Kinda funny how the oldest versions are the largest.
I'm probably gonna get this game looks like the best AC yet! Does anybody know if there are a lot of new villagers than the previous iterations? And what about the fish and bugs, are there any new ones or just the same ones as the previous versions?
Still gotta pick up a 3ds though, lol.. Anyone know of any good NA deals on any regular (no special edition stuff) 3ds XLs or can point to me to the direction of one? Would like to get one ASAP so I can get this game andonster hunter, thanks!

That's very disappointing. To me, even the gamecube version was too small. Maybe the Wii U version will be 50 acres or something due to the large boost in power.
Could it have been that they meant that they won't pay for trash? In past games Tom Nook would say that he wouldn't pay for it, but he'd dispose of it for you.
The Alpacas should pay you for trash; that's dinner for them!
Thanks! Yeah, that is weird how the older ones have a larger town. You'd think City Folk would at least match them. Maybe there's a reason for it, like they want the towns to be denser.

There are new villagers! I don't have a number for you but there are some new types like
Deer and Hamsters.
While we're on the topic of villagers, one of the nice small additions to New Leaf is how the villagers are a bit more... interactive I guess? (Not really a spoiler but just in case I guess!)
They can show up inside buildings like shops, shake trees, and even fish! Before they would just kind of walk around in town and do nothing else.
And the best part...
Villagers which have moved out of your village can show up in Main Street to say hi sometimes. They're not gone forever!
You shouldn't build that, though. It has a negative impact on your town rating.
By the way FearMyWrench, I've always like your avatar.
Oh sweet! And that's pretty cool that your mom likes those kinda games, mine only liked Animal Crossing and smart phone games.
I'm curious how the acres are sized in each. While laying out my perfect town in AC:CF I painstakingly mapped my town and created this image, which shows that towns were 80x80 tiles (with some taken up by ocean.)
I have a feeling the GCN acres probably had fewer tiles, but I really don't know.

I'm just happy acres don't matter anymore. It was so annoying having to measure them out.
Not bad! Do you know anything about the fish and bugs question? (Or does anyone else, for that matter?)

Man, my mum beat the Baldurs Gate games. Trying to keep her away from the "seek and find" games because she's too hardcore for that. =P
On topic: It sucks that the town is smaller. Especially now that we have more to do in it and more control over the land itself. =/
Probably measured differently though.

I know there are some new ones but I don't think it's a substantial amount of anything. Just like 5 more or something of each. Although there is the new category with swimming and everything. But some of those are moved over from the Fish category I think? Someone else could probably do a better job of answering this one.
Ahh ok I see, thanks anyways! I'm excited to see all that new furniture as well and when I get the 3ds I can just post my FC in the spreadsheet form right?

Looks like an embargo just passed at 9PM?
