100 visits to be able to redesign the train station sounds like an awful lot unless you got someone to spam visits with(I'm assuming it's not 100 unique visitors).

Shouldn't take long with having so many GAFers on your friends list. :lol

For non-wilting flowers? I can get that. This will sound silly to non-AC players but it's a fun chore watering all your flowers sometimes.

Took me about 15 minutes to water all my flowers in City Folk. Saving some or all of that time in New Leaf would be awesome.

 

[Robin64]

I plan to use fenced in areas with sexy hybrid breeding, so watering them won't be too much of a hassle.

 

[KennyLinder]

In far more natural and slower way. I don't think anyone will moan about how New Leaf handles grass wear.

That's lovely!!

I want paths, nobody walk on my grass man!!

 

[Shoogoo]

Grass grows back, right?

Does anyone know if grass wear is as bad as it was in City Folk?

 

[KennyLinder]

This was new in City Folk, right? I don't remember it on GC or DS!!

Hey all, is $35 the best price available? I'm tempted to just pre-order through Amazon so I can have the game on its release, but I've also seen various price drops over the past few weeks and want to make sure I'm not throwing money away if there's something better out there.

$35 is MSRP. Kmart is selling for $30 at retail next week.

If you have a Kmart near you, it's going to be $29.99.

Wait, this is launching on Sunday?

Is it going to be on the eShop, or just physical media?

 

[Chopper]

I've broken blackout.

I just couldn't resist. There seems to be so much to get to grips with this time round and I really don't want to get left behind.

What are gold badges?

Is there a comprehensive catalogue with space for every obtainable item in it?

 

[SuperSah]

Just upped my 2GB SD to a 8GB SDHC Class 10 and the speed is brilliant. Loads up games in a flash and MH3U which used to take about 15 seconds on the default SD to save now takes about 4-5 seconds. Brilliant!

Now, time to sit back and wait for my free ACNL code and get the ball rolling..

Roll on next week fellow ACGaffers!

 

[sergioalb64]

You're going to terrorize someone elses town? Ha! In your dreams!

get it?

lol; thanks for that

Cool. You got my back, I'll stab yours

Sats, I know what your mural is now. I got my crystal ball handy.

It's me doing a David pose, isn't it? You always did have good taste.

Oh come on, Sats; I said not to share that! It was mine! ohlawd, I designed it; couldn't you tell?

So...Who will try to get all the gold badge?
I know I will
I'm ready to play this game for 2 years!

*raises hand/paw*

By the way, running will be totally fair game in my town, at least until I start gardening, which I don't plan to do for quite a while.

 

[SeZMehK]

It'll be available in both formats.

Took me about 15 minutes to water all my flowers in City Folk. Saving some or all of that time in New Leaf would be awesome.

In Wild World, it was proven through research you only had to water wilted flowers.

My primary concern is that watering non-wilted flowers may have benefits in this version. If that's so, then yeah, watering could take a hell of a long time and I may opt for BT for that reason, at least after a bit.

 

[BGBW]

Took me a while to water my plants in LGttC since they were scattered all over the place to counter the grass waring affects. This time I should be able to concentrate on them within a small area.

 

[Mobius 1]

It'll be available in both formats.

Great news.

 

[Chezzymann]

In far more natural and slower way. I don't think anyone will moan about how New Leaf handles grass wear.

I actually don't like how it looks. I would prefer my grass to NEVER wear in animal crossing, because then it makes me subconsciously worry about grass wearing and I will never want to just randomly explore the town because of it.

Updated my post with face/hair guides in the links.



Not sure. I remember something about 3 spaces apart though.

You can grow trees as long as there's a single block between them.

You can even do a square of 3x3 for 9 trees although sometimes the middle tree fails.

 

[darklin0]

It is changed and much better than it was in CF.

That reminds me to create a ground texture that says "DON'T RUN" and place it right near my gate.

[SuperSah]

Grass wear looks so much natural.

Infact, remember when ACNL was revealed and everyone was off put by the taller, realistic characters?

Look at the WW/GC/CF characters now, and they look pretty damn silly. I think the taller characters look 100x better.

 

[GAMERG0D]

Ugh that 100 visits...

 

[Philia]

I actually don't like how it looks. I would prefer my grass to NEVER wear in animal crossing, because then it makes me subconsciously worry about grass wearing and I will never want to just randomly explore the town because of it.

You can create path textures to solve this problem.

Personally I think creating FLOWERY textures is brilliant blend.

Just like this one!

To be fair, when you rate out of 4, a 3 is considered very good. It's not an exact "75" like most people would think.

[Philia]

Not much but you should realize that each character can only have up to 10 texture tiles though. If you create 3 more characters in your town, you'll have to alternate between them to use all 40.
