Hey, on the island, you can do the scavenger hunt. I haven't unlocked Nook's upgraded shop yet to get the catalogue, but if I pick up furniture on the island, does it unlock purchasing through the catalogue?
 
And CAMPUS stuff:

:)

One of the people I streettpassed at work (Disney) had a bunch of this stuff in their homes and I have the option of buying it. So it's super rare, then?

The Bestbuy thing doesn't work for me. Probably because I'm in Eyrope. Oh well

It has nothing to do with that. You can't have other wifi connections enabled at the same time you try to download from the Bestbuy ssid

Turn whatever your 3ds can connect to or is connecting to off, and add in the Bestbuy connection to your list in the settings.

yeah just did the raccoon clock thing with my phone as a hotspot. I feel bad for the people going to Best Buy, this is so stupid.

Meh, I didn't mind it. I got to see some of my old co-workers, and it's near my job. But I think I'll try this hotspot trick for the cat tower next time.

That's exactly what I did. Error codes ahoy in the post office

No it really doesn't work on a European 3DS. Or do you think all the Euro Gaffers who reported negative so far are too stupid to figure it out?

That's not true. I didn't remove any of my other connections and it worked fine for me.

Awesome, the Bestbuy trick worked for me. I just set up a hotspot using my Macbook so that I wouldn't have to change my network's name lol.

The PAL people can 'catalogue' the item by picking it up and dropping it since they can't get the item from BB. Exclusive DLC sucks so much.

well I mean

it's japan-only

and the game sold gangbusters in japan

so, no? the best buy clock is probably rarer in terms of amount of people who have it, lol.

If this "3DS can't get items from other regions" thing is true, nobody will ever have those items outside of Japan.

So, yes?

But since cataloging stuff works apparantly it's not so much exclusive anymore :p

When do we unlock the catologue btw? And does it contain all fortune cookie items and bug off furniture too for example?

it depends on your definition of rare. There are more copies of the game in people's hands in Japan, that's the kind of joke I was making

and you go ahead and ruin it

I hope you're happy


I hadnt seen this one


lol

We don't even know if the DLC items are reorderable and I would be very surprised if they are. So yeah. Catalog then for catalog completion

I'm not ruining it, you're actually right. It's not *rare* per say. Since everybody can be added to the catalog, nothing is Rare on this game, afaik.

I'd still buy it from the catalog, if you can do it. Even though BestBuy itself says the items won't be available on the catalog.

^hahahaha

You can use them to buy fortune cookies and trade the fortunes in for items at 2 play coins a pop.

ah, okay...is it worth it? what's the most/average bells for the items, does anyone actually use their coins for this?
again, bout to finally finish @#$%ing find mii 2, so unless i really take to soul hackers, it's either AC or random puzzle duplicate pieces for my daily 10 coins.

everything can be added to the catalogue, not everything can be bought from it

these exclusive items can't be bought, you can just look at them on the catalogue

there's no way these items count to what the game considers to be "catalogue completion" anyway

Every Fortune Cookie is Nintendo related.

So, Mario Nose/Mustache combo, Link-related clothing and Nintendo-based house decorations.

Since you can shake your 3DS like a maniac to get items, I'd say it's worth it, since you can only buy one (at first) per day.

lol, amazing XD

Man, Nintendo pulled a fast one on me: While I had already bought New Leaf by the time E3 rolled around, I didn't start playing it until Villager was revealed for Smash. It totally energized me to play New Leaf, which I began later that week.

Or when you streetpass with Japanese people you'll also get the option to buy every piece of furniture in their houses.

Need to hangout at the airport waiting for flights from Japan coming in :p

When you upgrade the first shop I believe. I don't know if you can buy those items, I know you can get DLC because I could order the Rainbow Screen from my sister's home in the Home Showcase.
 
Well I finally connect to Club Tortimer for the first time, and the only other person on the island is... someone 20 minutes down the road from me :| FFS.

So I'm guessing XL users don't have a ton of coins. I've actually been pining for an easier way to burn through them. Like a bulk puzzle piece buying option. This game is nice, I can burn through 2 every morning, but the console's still locked at 300 pretty much all the time.



It's been posted a few times, but you NEED to read this guide. It helps you identify the pattern in the price fluctuation and know when to bail if things go south so you don't take too much of a loss. I have a little grid set up in my notes app where I'm keeping track of the prices.

I take my XL everywhere.

I doublechecked my sister's house in the Happy Home Showcase, I can order the Rainbow Screen for 5,088 Bells. I assume since this item came from the Post Office, you should be able to order the Best Buy items as well.

Thanks for giving us Euro peasants a little hope :p

I'd say there's enough

I didn't even know Japan had 7-11s. Also, you guys need to stop posting pictures of the 7-11 stuff. It makes me want it, and I know I'll never get it. :(

Well, there's no Slurpee machine DLC so I think I'll live for now. I love me some Slurpees.
