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.)

That would be great! I can stop by sometime later today. I'm about to go have breakfast with some folks I haven't seen in a long time. Should be back in a few hours though.

I finally have my Museum 2nd Floor and I opened up an exhibit that's currently empty. Maybe Gyroids will go there.

I'm excited that after VickiL's help, I'll only need 7 more fossils.

Amber
Apato Tail
Dimetrodon Skull
Diplo Hip
Ichthyo Torso
Stego Skull
T-Rex Tail

At least I think that's a correct list. I nabbed a Silver Shovel and Silver Net today too. Do those have any benefits?

You gotta get your priorities in order...

You should understand better than any other Animal Crossing fan that Pancakes are a high priority! At least I think that's what I'll get to eat.

@DrFinkelstein

With the shovel, the magic rock has a chance of shooting out ores instead of money. I'm not sure about the silver bug net... I imagine its capture size is a bit bigger but it's hard to say.

@TheOldManFromZelda

Well I can have three too, I just want some variety. I've just never seen anyone suggest stuff. How do you trigger it?

I was hopping down apple trees so that I can grow perfect fruit trees. I had a tree stump with a triforce on it. I had to look in to it and i read that tree stumps with triforces on it are rare and it will have rare bugs and mushrooms appear on it.... interesting...

@VofEscaflowne

Silver net is wider than the original, makes nabbing some of the quicker bugs (the Banded Dragonfly, for example) much easier.

@DrFinkelstein

I'm holding an Anklyo Tail for you. My gate is open (Lewis in Clifton).

@Shadowlink

I think the triggers are just random, I dunno.

@wickedsymphony

Ahh, ok.

@Shadowlink

The villager suggestions seem somewhat random.

@ludist210

I'm back from my breakfast, so let me know when else today I could stop by.

@ludist210

It looks kinda bigger so you have a good point.

@VofEscaflowne

Oh! I knew that was possible but I didn't know why it hadn't happened to me yet.
07/04/13, 19:19   
@DrFinkelstein

I have an ankylo tail you can have.

EDIT: Didn't see ludist say he had one.

@Stephen

Awesome! Thanks Stephen! I'm able to come over now (actually sitting on the screen to join towns right this second) If you're interested.
07/04/13, 19:44   
Yeah I'll open up.
07/04/13, 19:46   
Fink, my gate is open also!

I was going to join you at Stephen's, but I think we aren't friends.

@VickiL

I think I have you added. My town filled up regardless.

EDIT: Space now though!

@Stephen

Stephen has some really great designs over at his place. It was a treat to be there.

I can come over now for a moment Vicki!

@DrFinkelstein

Haha you are too kind. Thanks for the bells you left in the garden.
07/04/13, 20:38   
@Stephen

No problem! You were generous to my needy needs. lol

Once I get three more White Violets, my garden will be complete.

Does anyone have any modern furniture they would be willing to part with/order? As of right now all I have is the desk, drawer, and lamp.
