Animal Crossing: New Leaf Review (Nintendo 3DS) (9.7)  by  
Animal Crossing... I still remember getting up early before heading to my high school classes just to see what Tom Nook was selling that day. This game series has always held such a dear place in my heart. I think it has to do with the fact that heading to the land of Plaisant, Tranquil, or other towns of mine always being a great escape for me. Making Bells, filling my catalog, and fishing in the ocean were always points of peace for me. While I've been very public about my discontent with AC: City Folk, I have a new-found hope once more for New Leaf. From all the information that has been dished out due to the game's release already in Japan, and Nintendo pushing more information through Nintendo Directs, I am confident this game will be a fresh take on a classic and comforting idea.


The game released in North America on June 9th, 2013 and released in other territories shortly after.

Please use this thread for all discussion on the game. If you would like to make trades or visit towns, please use the specific Animal Crossing New Leaf Trading Thread for further assistance. It makes more sense to keep this focused on the gameplay and game discussion while leaving bartering out of it. There are no Friend Codes this time around for Animal Crossing, which is a blessing! Many of us have already befriended ourselves via the 3DS Friend Codes Thread thread. That thread will be where we continue to befriend each other and trade 3DS IDs for the sake of visiting each other's towns.

Many many years ago I discovered a wonderful Animal Crossing website which has a great catalog feature set up. Now, the new game will mean it'll take time for the site to get a full correct catalog up and running but I expect it to work beautifully once more to allow anyone to track their catalog there. You can find this website at the Animal Crossing Community page. They also have forums there which are very active right now in anticipation of this game. Granted, the general age of the members of that site fall a bit lower than here, but I've found over all the years I've been there that the discussion is still mostly pleasant and easy.

Lastly, I want you all to enjoy the music from this new game or any of the games, whenever you want. The following site will allow you to hear the "Xam" or "Xpm" music that would naturally occur in your life right now as if you were in the game. You can select from any of the Animal Crossing games and the music will continually loop until the hour changes. It's pretty cool. You can find that page here. It's by default at the City Folk music.

So again, everyone enjoy this game! Enjoy this discussion! If you're interested in being negative about the title, just find your way to a different thread for that because this thread is about the experience and meant to bring the community together during the launch of one of the most community driven games Nintendo offers.

Say hello to Kapp'n, cause we're about to make it into town on June 9th.

(One more quick note; Keep an eye out for the game's review, which I will write sometime in the end of June probably.)

I went and started a quick thread for Turnip prices. There is no point in flooding this thread and the other trading and online thread with our Stalk Market trades.

Bahahaha!

I realize I haven't done much river fishing. I caught a Piranha, Guppy, Giant Snakehead, Bluegill, and a Pale Chub this afternoon. The fish exhibit at the museum is looking awesome!

@DrFinkelstein

Club LOL takes five days to open I think...

@VofEscaflowne

I LOL'd!

Camofrog wanted to leave my town. I convinced him not to. He's my favorite in my town right now.

I'm in the island right now, earning money to upgrade my extra house (family).

...Little side note, but has anyone registered their digital copy of Animal Crossing? I've owned the game for 3 days, and haven't been able to register yet on Club Nintendo. I don't want to miss the bonus points!

@TheOldManFromZelda

I did the other day. You've checked the surveys that you can complete? It was right in the list there for me for a total of 60 coins.
06/25/13, 02:41   
Yeah, I checked today. Not there. I'd be bummed if I missed out!!!
06/25/13, 02:50   
Played a good bit yesterday (a lot more than I intended to). I upgraded the museum and had Leonardo ask me to publicly fund a place to house his instruments...not sure what he meant by that, so I'll check on that today. I also caught a couple new fish after dark (piranha, arowana) and planted two hibiscus bushes. Whee!

Planted 9 perfect fuit this morning. Things should be fun once I have that orchard set up and going. I'll just need to find someone with Bell Boom ordinance and no peaches as their native fruit to make a fortune once I've gathered enough!
06/25/13, 16:09   
Wooo! Bought a silver shovel this morning!

Not as cool as gold of course, but one step closer ;p

@kgtennispro

Me too! I also bought the dig site carpet. I'm hoping more silver tools will open up as the days pass...I like my shiny shovel.

EDIT: Just need five more fish to have all 54 that are possible to catch this month (including island fish): Killifish (shouldn't be hard), Neon Tetra (ditto), Saddled Bichir (could be tricky since I don't play late that often, but I have until September to catch one), and the Blue Marlin and Giant Trevally (both island fish that are available all day).

I've caught all of the insects that I "have to" catch aside from the Pond Skater (which becomes harder to find next month). I still need to donate another Horned Hercules (since I foolishly sold the one that I caught on the island).

I'm actually going to pay off my house that just got renovated last night. 298k bells. Boom.

excited to be getting my basement tomorrow and the 2nd floor of the museum, woot.
I have all the rooms of the house, they just all need expanding which is crazy money.. i hope to expand one tomorrow since i pulled a late nite on the isle and my stormy town proved fossil fish worthy : D


Anyone here do time traveling? I am against it ,never did and never will.
Was wondering if anyone else is the same as me or if you dabble?

@vids Lol. .Ludist pants ,lol

@wickedsymphony

I'll never do time travel. Ruins the point of the game!

And wow, the silver fishing rod makes a huge difference for river fishing!

Productive night last night. Caught a Blue Marlin, Giant Trevally, and a Horned Hercules (finally, again) to add to my ever-growing museum collection. That means I'm down to just two fish I need for the month (Saddled Bichir, Neon Tetra...both river fish) to have all 54 for the month, island fish included.

I aso discovered that my house debt was 498k, not 298k. So I made enough to pay that off.

@vids

Too bad when the connection crapped out that I lost said pants...
06/26/13, 16:07   
Managed to nab over 300k in beetles and sharks on one island trip last night. Woo!
06/26/13, 16:16   
I wish I could go to the island. Sigh.
06/26/13, 16:20   
@DrFinkelstein

I need to go to the island again and stock up. I haven't upgraded my house in a while and I just got a town project that costs 698,000 Bells to build
