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.)

@DrFinkelstein You still wanted some gold right? Did you want silver too? Are you going to be open this evening so I can drop them off?

@Mop it up

Hey Mop It Up, I never saw this post. I wont be able to be open until Monday because I'm out of town till sunday night. So maybe I could actually do sunday night. The internet here is functional but not sufficient to hold an AC connection. I wish we could do it sooner. I don't need any silver right now, just gold is fine. Thanks. :)

In other news, I built my Police Station so now it's up and running (the classic one) and I now found my first Jacob's Ladder. For the perfect town requirement, isn't the 15 days not necessarily consecutive but instead cumulative? I'm afraid of messing up the balance...

Don't forget! New fish and dives starting Sunday!

Fish:
  • Mitten Crab - 4:00 p.m.-9:00 a.m., River

    Diving:
  • Spiny Lobster - 9:00 p.m.-4:00 a.m., Ocean
  • Sweet Shrimp - 4:00 p.m.-9:00 a.m., Ocean

    @DrFinkelstein

    I thought it was consecutive, but I'm not sure.

    @ludist210

    It was in the past. But I thought that changed for this. Do we know when it checks? Each morning at 6am? I guess as long as I don't chop trees and uproot flowers, and leave anything on the ground I should be okay.

    I had a ton of clothing on the ground in case Gracie showed up, but I had to bite the bullet and make 30 slots of room in my closet. Man I wish we had one more storage lot.

    I just used ore on an awesome item and it seems to fit my room swimmingly...

    @gtarrant sweet you made the armor gold?



    Question of pascal. I have found 2 scallops and he's not come by once. However now my 3rd scallop he came and took it. Do i just sell and donate other one since he didn't take them?

    And in other news, i think i get Gracie store tomorrow. My shop's closed and i passed all 4 of her tests as of Saturday woot

    @wickedsymphony

    Yes, Pascal will only come at the moment you pick it. So if he doesn't show, then he won't for those scallops. Sell or decorate your house. I am not sure if they can be used in any other way.

    Also, so its four times for Gracie eh? I've passed three tests of three. Her fourth time can't come soon enough then. I'm eagerly anticipating.
    09/16/13, 21:26   
    @DrFinkelstein ok, gonna sell them then.
    Yeah it's 4 tests. i had 2 back to back and then weeks before 3rd, finally 4th was saturday. so tomorrow my stores opens, can't wait!
    Just in time for halloween stuff : D
    09/17/13, 02:55   
    I bought tube socks today!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!

    Now any shoes/socks I need in my catalog are strictly Gracie or other unique situation items. I no longer need to go visit that skunk, awright!?

    @wickedsymphony

    Good deal. I hope I make it to have a Gracie's before Halloween themed stuff. I just need one more! Today was Katrina again (which has been happening a lot lately). I hope tomorrow is Gracie. I hope.

    Yesterday was the first day I was so busy I hadn't played AC at all since launch. Usually I'll make at minimum 15 min in the morning or during lunch break but I had to skip lunch and was busy/tired from Monday.
    09/18/13, 19:22   
    I just got the Triforce yesterday.

    HYRULE IS MINE....!
    09/18/13, 19:54   
    For the life of me, I can't catch a Mitten Crab or a Spiny Lobster...anyone else had any luck with these two?
    09/18/13, 21:01   
    @ludist210

    Haven't tried yet. What's the timing on those during the day?
    09/18/13, 23:34   
    @DrFinkelstein

    4 pm to 9 am for the Mitten Crab, 9 pm to 4 am for the Spiny Lobster.

    EDIT: Caught both last night, so I'm set for insect hunting/fishing/diving until October!

    It's time for Jack!



    I'm really excited to build up my collection of candy and spooky masks!
    10/02/13, 04:13   
    I can't help but eat the candy. I have a problem.
    10/02/13, 04:30   
    @Mop it up

    lol, You might want to try your best not to. Apparently it comes in handy on Halloween to have as much as possible, especially when you use masks to earn it.
    10/02/13, 04:35   
    super excited with the whole halloween theme now in play and having Gracie at this time as well : D


    due to annoying people on club tortimer i googled it and found it's called 'Tortimer Island Grief'
    I've read some horror stories of people on the island being super annoying. Thankfully the only annoyance i have got is people preventing me from leaving the island. I just hit the wifi off and screw them over since i don't have time for that. My ac time is limited with my wee one crawling now.
    10/02/13, 10:05   
    @wickedsymphony

    Yeah I have Gracie too now and I'm psyched to have her at this time. I'm trying to snatch up all the Sweets Furniture. Does that change at the end of the season? I forget...
