I'm on my fifth child and I STILL don't get this Damn rocking minigame. Please tell me that not bothering with it won't negatively impact the mother and father. I can do any other game with few issues, but the Rocking minigame is IMPOSSIBLE.

I feel for you, K-A-Deman, as I struggled with this one for ages, too. In the end, I've found that the best way to handle it is to hold your 3DS in two hands (as you normally do, I'm guessing) and just sway it to the left and to the right, with a slight downward dip in the middle. Basically, try to imagine you're actually rocking a baby. Kind of. Anyway, that method has worked for me -- although I'm glad to say I haven't been asked to make use of it in a while!

Oh... it's left and right? I always did forward and backward with two fingers holding the system... maybe that's why I get like a 50% chance of success.

I feel like I've tried everything and none of it works consistently, lol. One time I even just put the 3DS flat on a table and that worked. :C

So how is this game? Was thinking of grabbing this during Bestbuy 3DS sale along with Kirby. From what I play from the demo, it seem like a game you watch your Miis do things than tell them what to do. Some of the scenes I seen online seems weird yet funny. The thing I most worry about is how does this game hold your interest becuz I kind of got bored from animal crossing doing menial tasks.

Lol, looking at some of the pictures you guys are posting is making laugh, it looking like fanfiction some of them.

I'll have to give that A try the next time it pops up, thanks for the advice.

I'll be buying that combo, too, but I'm not concerned about menial tasks! I'm hoping the content can hold me like AC.

I hope so. I caved in after all of my kicking and screaming about not buying it because of the exclusion in the hopes that my support would lead to a positive change.
Plus the game looked fun and I'm super weak.

I might possibly be a gay lucky charm, though. I came to Key West on Sunday of last week and within a few days a judge declared the ban on equality to be unconstitutional so hopefully my magic luck will work on the game, too.

It's hard to explain. It will interest you if you like Animal Crossing, but it's not really the same thing so if you hated AC...you still might like it. I'd say that a bogo sale is a good place to buy it paired with a more "active" game like Kirby. That way, you can relax with your Miis when you want and go conquer Kirby's world when you're feeling more adventurous :)

If anything, try the demo and see what's up.

That'd be an awesome tag! Haha.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear you're digging the game. I'm not much into life sims but pretty much any time an offbeat, quirky game lights up the sales charts I'm happy.

Bought this yesterday after seeing Vinesauce's videos of it. This game is hilarious lol.

It's impossible to not make horrifically dirty lyrics with the songs.

Finally added some more Miis, a lot of them from this thread, so thanks to the creators!

I also found this PaRappa on tumblr, lol.

One of the stupid little details that I love is how the eating sound effects actually vaguely resemble the sound it would make to eat that particular thing. Popcorn always makes me laugh.

That's strange, Diggeh. Are you playing a digital or physical copy?

Hope it worked the second time. Have you tried again?

Hello again. So, I've had to do this a LOT in the last few days (a good number of my islanders pushed out babies--ha ha!), and that made me realize my last suggestion was wrong. What's worked best for me is to move the 3DS up and down--as in, literally raise it up, then lower it in a straight line, then lift it up again--in a smooth, but fairly quick, manner. Raise and lower the system enough so that the arms on screen (and the baby) visibly are moving up and down as well. This is the only thing that's consistently worked for me (as in, 5 out of 6 times in the last few days). Hope that helps!

If a Mii has a fight with another Mii, and the other Mii is "still not over it", is there any way for them to become friends again?

yeah eventually the Mii who's not over it will tell you he wants to resolve the fight.

I'm not sure whether you need to bring the other Mii's sadness down to 0 first, I've always just done it anyway.

It's when my miis have levelled up and you have a choice to give them clothes/hats/gifts/songs/rooms..etc.. You click on say clothes for example and select an outfit, well it's next to the description on the top screen.

It seems to just be the icon for giving someone a level up reward. For regular gifting it shows a gift box.
