Can someone add the "New Leaf" leaf to my avatar please? I wish I knew how without it looking like crap, via MS paint.
I couldn't care less about all those reviews.
I know the game is good, I know I will love it. Even if you say it sucks, I will still like it.
Give it to me already !
It's like telling starving people they are going to enjoy their next meal, but they can't just eat it right now...

I guess there's like an NDA on the reviews describing the minigames. They always mention that they exist, but never go into any detail on what they are or if they're even fun.

That Eurogamer review is excellent: funny and thorough.
Hmm, is this okay, Andrew? Leaf's a little blurry. Maybe someone else could take a stab.

What were they expecting, AC to suddenly become a turn based RPG or something?
I just followed the Animal Crossing twitter. Isabelle is adorable. Oh, and I should really get around to adding some friend codes into my 3DS sometime.
I may be wrong on this and anyone can correct me but I recall you have to pay off your house in full before being able to access Tortimer Island, where the minigames are being held. So that can actually take a while since this game rolls real time.
"Seriously?? I have to use 2 different screens to play this game??"

That's perfect. Thank you.

Yeah, I don't understand the complaints about the core gameplay being more of the same. There isn't really a defined goal to set that gameplay towards. I can easily see that complaint being valid in an RPG, a shooter, or a racing game. Those all have things that need to be improved in each installment because they all have a specific focus- speed, control, more intense RPG elements, etc. Animal crossing does not have a specific focus, so there literally is no way for the game to expand besides with connectivity, more customization, and graphics.
It might not be the game's fault but it is a shitty limitation that the game has to deal with.
Pretty sure you get access to it after about a week. Not sure if it requires you to get the house first, though
All 360 games should lose a point or two because of Xbox Live Gold by that logic.
I guess they'd prefer something more streamlined, like automatic matchmaking or something, idk.
FE:A, Luigi's Mansion and DKCR3D.
I'm wondering how long after the 14th the code is actually going to take though. Really hope its not days !!!

Well, every cons in this review is not a real con imho.
Agreed ! Well... except for "Club MDR"
That sounds so kiddy... it's like if it was called "Club LMAO" in english. "Club LOL" sounds really much better anyway.Yes but only if that person's town rating was higher than yours. Town rating is affect by a number of things... I'm not sure how it is in NL but in WW, having plenty of flowers will raise it and perfect placement of trees all throughout the town was another.
Oh okay, but perfect placement of trees?

Does it usually take a long time for the villager that was taken to be replaced? I played WW mostly solo (only with my ex-gf) so I don't really know.
I recalled 3 spaces apart from other trees, other objects and houses. Which is why I thought maybe that was the ideal orchard placement or something. Not 100% on this though. Keep in mind you'll be using Phyllis as a gauge to tell you that your town is perfect or not. Again, this is all in WW. I'm not sure how it is in NL.
I recall a week after that villager moved out in WW, another will come in.
Hype levels after seeing the reviews are through the roof. I'm studying extra early for finals because this game is gonna drop right before my first final. If I don't study now I'll never do it lol.
Just to be sure - and I might've missed it in the OP - online is cross-region right?

Correct.
I think you can keep them from moving if you're nice to them. I think you get warning when they're thinking of moving too.
1 am, 11 pm, 10 am. Snowy versions are even better.

I'm really on the fence. I love that it's only $35. I didn't play City Folk, in fact, WW is the only one I did play, but I played a TON of it. Considering it's been 5 or 6 years, myabe it's time to jump back in.
Is there any word on whether the startup time is any faster on this game? Odd as it sounds, that was one of my biggest complaints on Wild World. It took so long to fire the game up when all I wanted to do was quickly check turnip prices and water my flowers.

So you did listen to them!
Well... I'm sure its leagues better than City Folk lmao. But that's weird that you ask that though. I don't recall that all too often. Then again I usually have my DS on sleep mode.
It is so good.
Yes!

I crumbled last night. The pressure was too much.
Just listened to snowy tracks and I agree. Snowy > Normal
10 days for us over here! :C
