Posted October 26, 2012 Would the Europe game be called Animal Crossing new Leaf? No, I think the European one is called 'Animal Crossing: Patience is a Virtue'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2012 Am I the only one who finds the new logo really ugly? The leaf placed on top of it just looks so cheap and the colors don't match at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2012 Agreed M_rock.... it looks as dodgy as the logo for Skyward Sword! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2012 Looks better than the Fire Emblem Awakening logo. Looks like they just slapped a generic font on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 31, 2012 Japanese review check from Famitsu via polygon; http://www.polygon.com/2012/10/31/3580050/japan-review-check-animal-crossing-dynasty-warriors-silent-hill - Animal Crossing: New Leaf (10/9/10/10, 39 points out of 40) There's no doubt whatsoever that Nintendo's new 3DS title (which, sadly, isn't coming out here until next year) was the winner of the week. "You're still enjoying the same kind of easygoing lifestyle in the game as before," one editor said, "but with the mayor thing and other new features, there's some novel stuff going on here as well. It's all balanced extremely well, and being able to visit the villages of people you don't know also expands the gameplay. Becoming friends with someone allows you to exchange messages with them without all having to congregate in the same village, too, which is killer." Everyone agreed that there's nothing extremely new to this Animal Crossing...but, then again, if it was too new, then it wouldn't be the supreme world sim/timewaster that it is. "The core of it hasn't changed at all," said another writer, "but between exploring the ocean and building up your village with public works, there's just a ton of new features. There's really nothing difficult about it, so even if you're new to this, I think you can really enjoy it. It's a really deep game that way, one that you can play in all kinds of different styles."

Posted November 9, 2012 To make things more painful about the fact I can't afford to buy a JP 3DS and this right now, I got 10/10 streetpass plaza hits yesterday and guess what came up quite a lot as recently played Interestingly though, it didn't come up as the Japanese name for the name. It actually comes up as Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I'm guessing they actually implement all the international titles on to first party games and the OS determines it, which is strange, as I sometimes see Mario Kart 7 in katakana only and then sometimes see it English despite the hits coming from Japanese players.

Very interesting! (I wonder if it might have in-game English language text locked away somewhere...) BTW, you might have a bit of trouble snapping it up anyway, unless you're getting the eShop version... http://ameblo.jp/sinobi/entry-11400191229.html Nintendo shipped 500k copies of Animal Crossing. First day sell-through: 80-90% Insane! Even with 500k copies shipped, they still sold through roughly 90% of the stock in the first weekend! This thing is gonna be sold out for weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This thing is gonna be sold out for weeks That's completely ignoring all the digital downloads, and I know for a fact that a good number of people have been downloading this one One thing a friend told me though, the DLC bits are IP locked. You need a Japanese IP to get it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose if you tried really hard you could get an IP routed from Japan. Oh hey, why not get someone to set you up a VPN tunnel in Japan and use their public facing IP as the gateway. Problem solved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 9, 2012 Or just use a standard proxy :p Does that work? Or have they blocked proxies from working too? (I know that they did for DQ10 in Japan - The only way to circumvent the IP Lock is via VPN. A costly and very inconvenient solution...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 9, 2012 Why costly? We have forumites in Japan! Eh, I suppose that's an option. But it would only be available to those who happen to know someone in Japan who was willing to share an IP address... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was meant to be a bit of a joke but I guess owning an Japanese system requires some compromise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
