Animal Crossing: New Leaf

[Elija2]

Who else is getting this game day one? The correct answer should be "everyone" because this is automatically Game of the Year (because you'll be playing it all year).

Now I know what some of you guys are thinking. "Gee, another Animal Crossing game? Who cares?" Well I'll tell you what, you all should care. Because this game is easily the best game in the entire series. And why, you may ask?

• You're the goddamn mayor. What does that mean? It means you can make public works projects to build stuff in your town like bridges, benches and even buildings. You can also enact ordinances to have stores open earlier or later and have your villagers plant flowers and pull weeds for you. You even get your own secretary.

Examples of things you can put in your town.


This is your secretary. So kawaii~

• You can customize everything! You can create your own textures and apply it to furniture, clothes, or your village. Of couse, you could create textures in previous games, so what's so special about it now?

If you really like Tom Nook, now you can have a room full of him.


You can make your town look rad as hell.

• QR codes! Say that maybe you suck at drawing and can't make your own textures. Don't worry, other people can do it for you! When you create textures, you can make a QR code for it and put it online for other people to scan and have in their game. And since the game has been out in Japan for months, there are already a bunch of QR codes for you to try!

Kawaii desu~

• There's just a bunch of other cool things you can do, like swimming with your pals and going to an island.

Swimming.

You'd have to be literally insane to not get this game. But what if you don't have a 3DS? Well now is the perfect time to get one, because Nintendo are coming out with an Animal Crossing themed 3DS XL, and it looks delicious.

The game comes out June 9th in North America and June 14th in Europe. I hope at least one other person here buys this game because I want someone to visit my town and I put a lot of work into this post to try and convince you guys to get it.

What the f*ck am I supposed to do with Wild World?

[Elija2]

What the f*ck am I supposed to do with Wild World?

Put it on your shelf as a reminder of the good times you had with it, but acknowledge that it is almost an 8 year old game.

[Hakudamashi]

Easier said than done...

[jkid101094]

Already have it reserved.

[Elija2]

I just got the game.

Elija2 for mayor.

[TheGameNinja]

I want it... but I'm broke.

[Hakudamashi]

I'd get it, but I'm saving for that Wii U... or get it and delay getting the Wii U...
Choices...

[Elija2]

I'd get it, but I'm saving for that Wii U... or get it and delay getting the Wii U...
Choices...

The game only costs $35. You don't need a Wii U anyway, at least not until next year.

I don't need Animal Crossing either, you jerk...

[Elija2]

I don't need Animal Crossing either, you jerk...

You say that now...

[Hakudamashi]

Weeeeeeeellll, I still got Wild World...

[Elija2]

Weeeeeeeellll, I still got Wild World...

I feel bad for anyone still playing that game in the year 2013.

[jkid101094]

[Hakudamashi]

You're a girl.

[Elija2]

You're a girl.

A cute girl.

jkid needs to add my friend code.

[jkid101094]

They don't have friend codes in this game.

[Elija2]

I meant 3DS friend code.

[jkid101094]

I am sad face. I can't find any furniture that'll let me put designs on it. :c

[Elija2]

Here's what I've been doing for the past few days:


My inauguration ceremony.



Chilling with my pals.



All-out war.



Finally, the perfect hat for me.



Ending it all.



Game of the year.

...how'd you take those images?

[Elija2]

...how'd you take those images?

The game has a screenshot feature that saves pictures onto the SD card.

[jkid101094]

...how'd you take those images?

L+R

[TheGameNinja]

Every game should be able to do that

Adventures of Eli in Animal Crossing Land: Part 2 of 395325356

I finished my first public works project: a campsite. I later went on to single-handedly fund a cut-out sign, a bench, a bridge, and the reset surveillance centre.



I visited the island with some pals. The island is where you make mad bank with them rare bugs.



These guys suck at hide-and-seek.



My museum is coming along pretty good. I marvel at all my hard work with a fellow neighbour who contributed absolutely nothing. These guys are freeloaders.



Today was my lucky day.



It helped me catch the rarest fish in the game.



Still Game of the Year.

[Hakudamashi]

You should make a blog.
I'd read that your mayorness.

[Elija2]

This is my blog. Or at least it is now.

And call me "Sweet-E", that's what one of my villagers came up with.

[Hakudamashi]

Is it your girlfriend?

[Elija2]

It is a girl friend.

[Hakudamashi]

I am dissapoint.

[Elija2]

Adventures of Eli in Animal Crossing Land: Part γ of Σ

Caught the bitch sleeping on the job.



She paid dearly.



I'm being transported to another dimension.



This cute cat wanted me to take her to another town. I wish she'd move into mine.



The House of Hans.



Gaming.



I'm stepping out of my comfort zone.



Fucking gross, dude.



Still still Game of the Year.

[Hakudamashi]

I'm being transported to another dimension.

Ummmm.... huh...

More on that later?

[Elija2]

Ummmm.... huh...

More on that later?

I'm just getting my fortune.

Apparently an "iconic top" is the key to good luck. As if my four-leaf clover isn't enough.

[Hakudamashi]

Sounds like someone's find luck who might be a lady, if ya know what I mean. wink wink nudge nudge whistle.

[Elija2]

Adventures of Eli in Animal Crossing Land: Part whatever out of who cares

I unlocked the QR code machine, so this game just got a whole lot better. JET SET RADIO DUDS!



DOUBLE RAINBOW, OH MEN



This isn't a dream. This is a nightmare.



I made a NeoGAF drum set.



JSRF town flag.



Rasher is desperate for friends.



Man, these guys suck at team names.



I stole his kill...err...fish.



What are you implying, Hans?



Challenge accepted.



Getting signatures for a club.



I TOLD YOU IT'S FOR GROWN UPS, DAD!



This game is...

[Hakudamashi]

It's like Nichijou the game

Well my store didn't have New Leaf, so I got Fire Emblem Awakening instead.

[Elija2]

Well my store didn't have New Leaf, so I got Fire Emblem Awakening instead.

Still a good choice.

I actually got Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem at the same time, but I've been playing AC a lot more. I'm really enjoying Fire Emblem, but AC is just life-sucking.

[Hakudamashi]

As long as you remember to eat.

[TheGameNinja]

I'm on the bandwagon.

[Elija2]

I'm on the bandwagon.

Another one trapped in the snare that is Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

What's your 3DS friend code?

[jkid101094]

I'm on the bandwagon.

"jkid liked your post"

[TheGameNinja]

0516-7762-3928

[Elija2]

0516-7762-3928

Mine is 4656-6356-9113. Add me.

You too, jkid.

[jkid101094]

I would but we have a topic for that,

[Elija2]

I would but we have a topic for that,

Alright, alright.

[Hakudamashi]

I feel left out.

[Elija2]

Nintendo sent out Reggie's house through Spotpass, so you can visit it and purchase some of his furniture.

I feel left out.

For only $35, you won't be.

[Jordan teh Echidna]

People who get to use their money.
Feh.
*plays wild world instead* feggeuts

[Hakudamashi]

Nintendo sent out Reggie's house through Spotpass, so you can visit it and purchase some of his furniture.

I dunno why, but I always get this comfy feeling when I see people in suits enjoying video games. Also, Reggie better be prepared to buy alot of sh*t.

For only $35, you won't be.

It doesn't matter if I have the money or not, doesn't change that my store doesn't have it yet. The Nintendo Eshop doesn't accept my debit card, and if I decide to import it, it'll end up costing >$80 US because of customs n' shit.

I'm just shitouttaluck...

[Elija2]

I wouldn't buy it from the eShop anyway because of Nintendo's lack of an account system. Also your SD card could corrupt and there is no way to backup your save file so you could lose everything.

Amazon?

[Hakudamashi]

Jamaican customs jack up the price on electronics. A light bulb that would have costed $5.00 suddenly costs $45.00 and shit like that...

[TheGameNinja]

I want that Reggie pattern. :C

[Elija2]

I stole ordered a bunch of his arcade stuff. There's a limit on the amount of items you can order in a day, but if you favourite his house it will never go away and you can keep ordering stuff. Unfortunately you can't order Nintendo items or customized furniture.

[TheGameNinja]

[jkid101094]

And now it's in both topics.

[TheGameNinja]

And now it's in both topics.

Nah, I removed it from the other one. Forgot there was a New Leaf topic.

[jkid101094]

I posted one there too. xD

[Elija2]

Resetti is misunderstood, just like Tom Nook. He just doesn't want you to lose all your hard work. What a nice guy.

[TheGameNinja]

I posted one there too. xD

lol missed it



So this guy just leveled the whole island and stood there the whole time.

[Hakudamashi]

He just wants you turds to understand there is no reset button in life.

[Jordan teh Echidna]

oh ok so my friend is sending me new leaf after all the disputes with me telling them not to

um ok well bye friends

[Elija2]

lol missed it



So this guy just leveled the whole island and stood there the whole time.

The online island is so finicky for me. I always get disconnected and lose all the stuff I caught.

Apparently some people have met Japanese players that understand a bit of English on the international island and they exchange friend codes and invite them to their town and give cool items. That will never happen to me.

[Hakudamashi]

Not with that attitude =P

[Elija2]

Did any of you other guys unlock the club yet? It's pretty rad.

[jkid101094]

Yep and yep.

I haven't played for days, though.

[Elija2]

I haven't played for days, though.

Your villagers must be worried sick about their mayor.

[Hakudamashi]

Yep and yep.

I haven't played for days, though.

Your peeps are splitting hairs man.

[jkid101094]

They'll live.
They're probably even watering my flowers for me.

[Hakudamashi]

Or fucking your wife

[jkid101094]

I am my wife.

[Hakudamashi]

And your wife is you

Thou has established a new bond.

[jkid101094]

Where's the like button on this thing?

[Hakudamashi]

[jkid101094]

I click it but nothing happens.

[Hakudamashi]

I click it but nothing happens.

[Elija2]

Tell John to integrate a "Yeah!" button to the forums.

[Hakudamashi]

I thought that was what "karma" was for...

[jkid101094]

Better yet, replace karma with like and dislike button. The noobs stop bitching about their karma and we can show appreciation without having to post.

Two birds, one stone.

[Elija2]

Today is Tanabata, a Japanese-exclusive event. If you go to a Japanese town you can talk to Isabelle and receive a special bamboo furniture with people's wishes attached to it. There's also a cut-out board you can pose and take pictures with. I was lucky enough to have someone let me into their Japanese town. It's nothing too great, but I did get an exclusive item.

It's probably too late at this point. It's already tomorrow in Japan.

[Elija2]

I visited the guy's town an hour ago. The person doesn't actually have to live in Japan, it just needs to be a Japanese copy of the game.

[Hakudamashi]

A reason for region locking?

[TheGameNinja]

Tanabata's not that obscure of a holiday, is it? And this game could have introduced it to non-Japanese players.

[Elija2]

A reason for region locking?

That would be a stupid reason.

Tanabata's not that obscure of a holiday, is it? And this game could have introduced it to non-Japanese players.

The developers wanted to have region-exclusive holidays. They want you to visit towns from around the world. And they actually do try to introduce it to players that visit a Japanese town. They call it "Starcrossed Day" in English though, don't know why they changed the name in the translation.

Here's some pictures:

[TheGameNinja]

Oh, that's cool. I assumed it would just be in Japanese XD

[jkid101094]

D'aww. That's really cute. Now I wish I had friends in Japan.

[Elija2]

D'aww. That's really cute. Now I wish I had friends in Japan.

I just exchanged friend codes with someone with a Japanese copy of the game that was nice enough to let me in. I let him catalog a US-only item and he let me into his town. Maybe you'll be able to find someone on some other forum that's also willing to make a mutually-beneficial deal.

[TheGameNinja]

I've started making some pro designs

Coop from Megas XLR



Renton from Eureka seveN



Space Ghost

[Hakudamashi]

Can I like, put those threads on my Wii U Mii or something?

[jkid101094]

Can I like, put those threads on my Wii U Mii or something?

No.

[Hakudamashi]

No.

Miis are a fashionably retarded @_@

[Elija2]

Miis are a fashionably retarded @_@

When Animal Crossing U comes out you can play the game wearing a Mii mask and then wear all the cool clothes you want.

[KPOPSTAR]

WHAT IS SO GOOD ABOUT ANIMAL CROSSING?!?! .__.
A.K.A. WHY SHOULD I GET IT

[TheGameNinja]

It's a time sink. A simple life sim. There's not really a story or plot, no real ending, you just collect things and do things in your town. Though, New Leaf does have some more objectives to complete than older games.

[Hakudamashi]

If only...

[jkid101094]

When Animal Crossing U comes out you can play the game wearing a Mii mask and then wear all the cool clothes you want.

But you can do that on the 3DS.

[Elija2]

But you can do that on the 3DS.

Yeah, but Hakudamashi was specifically talking about his Wii U Mii.

[jkid101094]

That's Wind, Eli.

[Hakudamashi]

That's Wind, Eli.

Where?

[Elija2]

I never got to visit any of you guys' towns. I'm disappointed.

[TheGameNinja]

If anyone has the Styraco Skull and/or Stego Tail fossils in New Leaf, let me know. They are the only two fossils I don't have.

Or if you get any spare art, because I only have a few of those.

[Elija2]

As of today I've officially played this game for 500 days straight and who knows how many hours (I mean I could check but I'm kinda scared to see the number).

No regrets.

[Hakudamashi]

I think Eli hates this game.

[Elija2]

I think I love this game.

[Hakudamashi]

Would you marry it?

[Elija2]

No, it's just a video game.

[Hakudamashi]

But you're with it for life.

[Elija2]

500 days is hardly a life.

[Hakudamashi]

More than some people.

[Elija2]

That's so sad.
