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 quoted you in the Trading thread. My dinosaur announcement/subsequent gifts from people have brought a lot of trading talk here. I'm trying to steer it back to the other thread. That said, I will keep an eye out. I'm looking for Modern Wooden stuff myself.

Yes! I talked the peppy pink panda Pinky into moving in. It came down to a game of chance and I won. Now I have a new species represented, and all personality types in Pancakes. Now to make everyone happy enough to request public works projects.

Nothing like going into someone's town to find a vacant basement with only a suitcase full of money.. yeah.. nothing suspicious about that


Other than that, another beautiful day in StarLite

@ludist210

That's okay. I didn't even realize they were the same fossil offer till just now. I appreciate it though.

I love your character's look. I know I already told you but I wanted to say it again.

Sorry if this is a little late, but Re-tail is paying extra for perfect pears in my town today.

I'll be home about 90 minutes so if anyone has a pile of perfect pears lying around and wants to double their return....stick around.

@TriforceBun oh wow that sux, sorry

@TriforceBun

That really stinks TBun. On the bright side, you can make almost that in one normal trip to the island at night. Collecting 8k+ valued beetles and sharks. But damn if that guy isn't scum. Using him in a comic might give him fame he might enjoy, but it also might inform others of his bullshittery. Catch-twenty-two.

@TriforceBun

Oh man T-Bun, just read. Terrible.

This is why you should only trade with NW approved friends
07/05/13, 14:57   
@TriforceBun

Wow! A bell scammer!!! It's like the worst of Craigslist coming true in the game!

Like Shadowlink said, stick to us NW approved peeps!

@TriforceBun

That's terrible Unfortunately, that's online for you. I just hope it doesn't become as bad as the DS version did with Action Replay. Is there anything similar at all to the 3DS? I know they could plant these "seeds" which would just grow buildings out of nowhere. So a random person would join, plant a seed in front of important buildings and even the town's gate and essentially block access entirely to these areas. Only way to fix it was to get an AR device yourself (couldn't ask for someone else to remove it since the gate access would be blocked) or restart your town.
