I wanted mine to end with "ville" so I just closed my eyes and used three fingers to press 3 keys and got "Arkville"

As good a process as any.

Apparently there is a small bug in the game that causes you to permanently lose any socks you're wearing when you put on a wetsuit on the island. (I guess it doesn't happen in town.)

Not a huge deal since you can re-order them, and I imagine for quite cheap, but hopefully Nintendo will patch it eventually.

[FearMyWrench]

I have a feeling there will be another patch in the next few days for all versions to coincide with the release here. Why? Well, so far there's been one patch in Japan/Korea. It didn't do a whole lot but it did add an option on the main menu to check for update/patch data which wasn't originally in the game. Theoretically, using this you could update the game inside the game without having to do it at the eShop like the first patch. Yet, they haven't release another update yet after that and it would be weird if they implemented that option to then never use it.

So, reviews today then?

Expect the Joystiq one up very shortly, at least. Google caught it, lists their title as "Beardo's Lament", but the link gets forwarded to the main page as if the review is hidden right now.

I don't know, but I found this incredibly funny to read. In all seriousness though, you just have to remove your socks before equipping a wetsuit, right?

 

[SuperSah]

Good morning Gaffers!

Joystiq review is up but I can't seem to access the site.

 

[FearMyWrench]

Guys, Joystiq posted it earlier before they were supposed to for an hour or so. It's down now but it will be back at 10am they said. I assume the rest of the reviews will pop up then too.

Added you! that's my time zone too, no time travel here either. Perfecto!

 

[Shoogoo]

Since the game relies so much on hours, does it make more sense to just add people from your timezone? Does it adapt or something?

I'm new to AC, if you couldnt tell :I

No time travel... that means skipping the clock ahead to do events or get stuff early? Yeah, I'm not doing that, go ahead and add. I'm GMT-7, or PST, if that helps.

I added Ferrio and Timetokill, I'll check up on some more tomorrow. Gotta sleep now.

Would it be ok to post the link to view the Joystiq review here or will it get me in trouble?

I got it from Google Cache.

POST IT. I wanna see it! :3

 

[Robin64]

Don't forget you can also post on the Bulletin Board in other towns. So if you visit someone, leave a little message for them! It's always a fun treat walking past your board, seeing the little bird (or owl at night, now) showing there's a new message and having something from someone to read who went home hours ago.

 

[pock3tmonster]

In terms of potential DLC, were the Japanese 7/11 items paid or available freely?

Always free. There will never be paid DLC for this game.

No paid DLC whatsoever in this game, they were free.

EDIT: With a sea bass...

Free. All DLC in this game is free.

edit: beaten to it!

 

[FearMyWrench]

Well, the fact that they were product placement items in the first place kind of pays for them already I would think. It would be rather absurd to then charge for them in addition.

Thanks guys. You did good. I wasn't sure what to expect given recent DLC offerings for New Super Mario Bros. 3DS and Fire Emblem: Awakening. I'm guessing they made some kind of proper announcement?

Yeah, in the past they said they knew their DLC limits and knew all AC fans would be disappointed.

[Robin64]

Yeah, they mentioned it in a Direct. Iwata believes paid DLC should be extra to a finished game and because collecting items is the game with Animal Crossing, charging for them would feel bad.

Also, check out the things they sent out for City Folk - http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Distributed_Items_%28City_Folk%29

It's good to know this feature is still in. It was fun checking the Bulletin Board to read the various messages from visitors and neighbours alike. Even more fun when there were clues concerning buried loot.

 

[Robin64]

I do love burying pitfalls loot in other towns!

Thanks. That kind of approach to DLC is refreshing to say the least. I hope there are similar quality items distributed for New Leaf.

For anyone interested, here's the actual quote from Iwara regarding paid DLC in Animal Crossing:

However, we do not intend to make downloadable or add-on content available for every type of game. We would like to supply consumers with only add-on or downloadable content which they are happy to pay for as compensation for creative work. For example, some might say that it would be unbelievably profitable to provide paid add-on content for "Animal Crossing: New Leaf," but we were concerned that a game in which you enjoy yourself more by the power of money would not be suitable, and we decided to avoid such a feature after an intensive discussion with the development team. On the other hand, we are selling sets of new courses for "New Super Mario Bros. 2" by download and obtaining a very good response from those who have actually bought and played them. We see vast potential in this sort of add-on content. In short, we would like to find the type of add-on content consumers will find enjoyable in each game. We intend to basically create add-on content with which we will be able to make long-term relationships with our consumers.

It's from an Investor Meeting Q&A.

 

[SuperSah]

Guys. I just found the Joystiq review.

If you're interested, it got

4.5/5

Once again, very good review!

 

[Sats]

I wish loot would reset for multiple people to get. I want to put a prize at the end of my maze!

 

[Robin64]

I'll be the prize!

The maze is going to be HELLA EXPENSIVE, isn't it? If one bush is even, like, 20,000 bell...

Edit: Oh, they're only 120 bell. I thought they were a PW, not an item you can just buy. So how do remove bushes? Can other people just pick them up?

I love reading things like this. It's interesting to have such insight into the development process behind the game.

 

[MagnetoWned]

My body is ready! I'm going to trade in SC V for $6 and price match at best buy and get a copy for around $25 AC:WW was probably my most played DS game...played a ton with my best friend in 5th grade. I hope I'm not hyped over this solely for nostalgia hehe

I think just a shovel can dig it up and kill it.

You use your shovel and dig them up, IIRC.

Oh man. So other people can shovel my bushes TO DEATH.

 

[Sats]

Oh no, people will shovel up my maze ;-;
