I've never played an Animal Crossing. I wonder if this will change that? :3

i hope this is a day one release

Cool, sweet

It looks so fun, if they gonna drop those friend codes i'll be picking this up

Don't swear please - mod team.

If it plays like the old ones then I'm not interested. There needs to be something significantly new otherwise I'm playing the same game again. Still a good game though.

I love animal crossing.

I hope they do something new with this one.
Edit: This looks great. I will get this for sure!

this time round you play the mayor.. i've always loved the animal crossing games so that'll be enough as well as the 3D for me

I love animal crossing but im a compleatest I try to get 100% in every game and its hard to do that with 4 AC games and all the others I have I wish I could Play 3 games at once.

Dan what the heck happened to tortimer? i hope hes ok hes my favorite charecter.

Cant wait to be the mayor of my town!

looks cool, 3D would add a great sence of being in the game for animal crossing, i wish they would add some new things to do this time though

I dont Want FC's in this one,Wi-fi Lobby Anyone?

Yayz!!!!! I like A.C!

This looks creepy!

I can't wait!

|sf>I just noticed that the second picture shows a bench and a street lamp in the backdrop while the human stands outdoors. I wonder if those are randomly placed objects or if they're movable, ala purchased at Nook's or Red's shop. Considering how long the other games in the series took to reach North America, I suspect that this title won't be out in time for the machine's launch.

If they spice up this game and do some different things then fish, catch bugs, decorate your house, and pay off your house then i would be sold on buying this game.

Yays! Definitelly getting this

Its funny how Nintendo has made animal crossing on Gamecube (even though it was originally an N64 design) Nintendo DS, and Wii... And yet the 3DS version looks by far the best! XD
Anyways, I really hope Nintendo will re-add some classic games in there, like NES or SNES games. Its been missing for far too long.
Day 1 purchase~

How good is animal crossing anyway....I've never play it before.

CAN'T WAIT SOOOO WANT TO GET IT ON 3DS

I Love Animal Crossing. If I Had 3 That Wouldnt Be GoodCuz I Have Wii And DS One. Im Planning To Sell My DS One Anyway ! (I Might Keep it) But Im In Love With My Wii One! It Looks Quite Good. But.. The Humans Freak Me Out. Theyre Cute When Theyre Small :/

Maybe Actually, It Depends How Much Change There Is. They Should Make A Park And I heard About The Mayor. AND A RESTUARANT Where You Can Meet People From All Around TheWorld! And they should ask what city your from and connect it exactly to what weather it is!
and there should be a news channel about the latest in ac.
I Have Big Ideas For This :]

This'll be the first game that I buy.

I need a job, i need this when it comes out!

Hm.. Yes, this will definitely be on my 'to-get' list.

... That, and OoT: 3DS and Mario Kart!

.......................Sadness. I want this. Badly. So very badly. D;

i never got the chance to play any of these games so i can wait to try this one, i remember watching a friend play the first animal crossing for the game cube and i liked how you could get an NES for your house in the game and play classic games like mach rider ect so i hope that carries over to the 3DS game

I have a strange feeling that those graphics aren't the best of 3DS

Awesome! The first time I played Animal Crossing my cousin gave it to me. I fell in love with the laid-back gameplay. must get!

yay only one friend code per system, less confusion! I wonder if there will be a list of your friends like on 360 or PS3, where you can send messages and stuff demanding they visit your town

I really hope they spice it up since I quickly lost interest in the game with almost nothing happening the whole time. But I don't like how the character looks. They need to be short and cute! ^^

What i'm not gonna like about this game is that if i forget to save resetti will pop out of the screen (nightmares)

also, is there going to be stuff floating around the air in this game like the ds? you can hardly see the sky

sweet! a animal crossing for 3ds! i love animal crossing! i have all the animal crossing games!

Wow! I love animal crossing I bought all of the games and my favorite was Wild World because I could bring my town anywhere, i'm gonna get it launch day, but why does Boy and Girl look so weird and creepy THEY NEED TO LOOK LIKE CARTOONS

@38: No one said that having them in 3D was going to be pretty. But I'll let it slide. I'm a huge fan of this game~!!

Relaxation is a genre?

@blueboom: i think there should be bigger houses and i think it would be cool if the town got bigger but i dont know to much about this game.

im definately buying this day one, im just not a fan of the fact of how tall your character is in comparison to everyone else

I can not wait!!!!

So totally getting it!!!!

Interesting. [:

Im So Exeited To Get It Because I Got My 3DS Today With Monkey ball 3D So im exeited for animal crossing!

Can't wait! hopefully there's more content available. Can't expect much though. . .

Cool, definitely getting this!

I wonder if you can go to more then one city. I hope that you can design houses or stuff like that.

Really looking forward to this game! I hope there will be more stuff to do this time around.
I'm gonna have to get used to the taller character style though.

I preordered Zelda: OoT 3D yesterday, and this is my next preorder So excited

According to Gamestop, this will arrive in the beginning of August...can't wait!!! This game is the REASON why I wanted the 3DS lol!

I got the 3DS for this game, and I just saw another trailer for it. I'm so excited!

Beginning of August?!
Thats some good news!

I'd take the gamestop date with a grain of salt. According to many things i read on the internet, you can't trust gamestop for official release dates. On almost all websites i've read, the release date for AC:3DS is still TBA. To be announced. But AC:3DS should be in our hands by early 2012 for sure. Winter holidays, maybe. Fall, perhaps, but unlikely. August, unfortunately, most likely not. But the wait won't be too long now. Besides patience is a virtue. All good things to those who wait

I'm really excited for this new game. The only disappointment is that its going to be on 3ds. I REALLY dont like the DS for games, im more like a wii person, but i'll buy it anyways xD

Yeah I think that. I was watching an E3 clip and they said they don't even have the release date even though they have a release date for super mario 3d and mario kart. O_o But they did say it is coming out before 2012 so i'll keep my fingers crossed. But you are right most people don't trust gamestop and I've seen some huge delays with their timing.

I had wild world but that game was broken and I didn't feel like getting a new one since I came so far and didn't wanna do it all over again so now I only still have Animal Crossing Clock and Calculator and an Animal Crossing CD from club nintendo. I also have SSBB with of cource an Animal Crossing stage but yeah, I don't have any real Animal Crossing games now so I really can't wait to get this one

Things I'd like to see in this game:
New furniture, fertilizer to restore the grass, maybe offered in regular-silver-and gold for varying degrees of effectiveness. Patterns not limited to palettes or less limited. More Pattern pocket storage so you can put down in town and store more. Each room has it's own storage compartments for dressers so upgrades gets you more storage. Mail storage with labels. Townies can wear hats. I could go on but I'll stop there. How many of these things do you think they've included in the new game?

I would love if they had a City lobby of some sort. So instead of searching the internet to exchange friend codes you could easily meet someone in an online lobby! Pretty much easier internet use

I've never even played Animal Crossing, didn't realize how much of a hype it had. I have to try this one out on my 3DS.

im glad you can finally swim in the new animal crossing that sounds fun

I might get this since I've never played an Animal Crossing game.

Well, AC (Animal Crossing) didn't come at the beginning of this month. I think GameStop is just making wrong guesses. I looked at a release date sheet in there last month, and AC's (US) release date was sometime around Christmas and Thanksgiving. Don't get your hopes up, though. I think this game will get a 2012 release.

@Shadow100: You should get an AC game! They're a lot of fun and laid-back when you want something like that. You see, AC games are a lot like real life. You have a house and can decorate it with furniture, you can talk to your neighbors (who are animals) you can listen to the musician K.K. Slider (a dog) and get CDs from him to play in stereos, there's a whole lot more to explain, and I can't explain it all. I'd recommend getting AC:CF (Animal Crossing: City Folk) for the Wii. It's got a few new features that weren't in the other two (Animal Crossing: Wild World for DS and Animal Crossing for Gamecube, not 3DS). It also has Wi-Fi, which you can use to visit other towns that other people from around the world live in. You just give them your AC:CF Friend Code, and they give you theirs and you can travel through the Town Gate to get to their town (note that this was in Wild Word, too). Anyway, check out some videos and see what you think of each AC game. I hope you like the AC series!

I'm kinda sad that it's not coming out sooner rather than later but i hope the developers don't get lazy with the structure of the game like in acww (Wild World) Not that i didn't like the previous versions, it's just that i think that they dont have enough to do. You just end up doing the same thing every day, like selling fruit. That's why I hope they put in more holidays or mabye even an island area where you can find special fruit and fossils. Also, I hope they add another tool to the game or make the town bigger or at least add another store. Perhaps a prize store...

Animal Crossing for the Gamecube
Animal Crossing wild world
animal crossing city folk and animal crossing 3DS are all awesome

i luv animal crossing ive played it in wii gamecube dsi i got a 3ds i hope it relesees soon i luve it

I love all of the animal crossing games! i cant wait till this one comes out

I don't like the Mii bodys & Faces.. I like the other bodys on the original ds.. game cube, wii

I always wished that that you could dig up the parts to a go cart or something and put it together and run around scarying the neighbors then maybe upgrade to other vehicles

This is so going to be the best Animal Crossing game ever made,just look at the freaking map

Ok so i'm on a super hiigh for this game and cannot weight for it to be released. I luv the idea for trousers for girls and dresses and skirts......bad luck boys you still just got trousers. Though bad luck guys cuz uks game sight just canged for TBC-2011 to TBC-2012 so hopefully we will be told come the 1st of Jan

i cant wait <3

My most anticipated game of 2012. For real.

I really wanna play it

I'm so looking looking forwards to the release i can't wait to be mayor and swim, am sat here playing ac on my wii and longing for this game

Does anyone know when Animal Crossing come out?

2012 thats all i know the rest is rumors

No specific date or idea of timing yet, but it will be released in 2012.

I really want to know what new things are included with this version. Yes, you swim for some reason, but please further clue us in NintendoGods... Hey wait. That's not a bad idea for a game. NintendoGods! Make it happen!

You people have no idea how much I want this game. And yes i made this picture:)

This is going to be good!!!

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some say that it will be released in the uk on the 3rd of jan THE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY TOTALLY FATE

sorry people very excited

Ive never played animal crossing but once it comes out ill get it. (i want kid icarus uprising first since ive been a fan since way back and i hear it will be like ssbb)

i hope its the third of jan that would mean i will get it before i go back to school

Actually, I went to GameStop today and they said that this and Luigi's Mansion 2 would come out on May 2. They have been wrong before so I hope they're wrong again and AC3DS and LM2 comes out earlier [LM2 probably will, but I'm not sure about AC3DS]

seriously, wtf. wasnt this supposed to be a release game?
i bought the 3DS for this game, they need to hurry up. waste of 250 dollars...

No, it was never announced for release — AC has never launched with a Nintendo console. Good things come to those who wait!

Hey did anyone notice that there are no bugs on the trees, and do you think they are still going to add bugs later on?

Bugs are definitely in — there's an early video showing a new slow-walk move when sneaking up on bugs — so they'll be on trees I'm sure

Oh i think i missed that part of the video, thanks James.

so hope they announce the release date come the first of jan

This will be my first true Animal Crossing experience, I'm glad to see it come to 3DS

just watched the trailer again.......does anyone know where you can swin to. The trailer shows the person being able to dive under water......does anyone know what this is for? Could it be fishing?

Can't wait! Hope it has some same features like the Wii version City Folk. c:

i agree with you kawaiigaga! i think that animal crossing 3DS will have AWESOME features better then wii version

This game looks amazing! I can't wait! There are definately some new features! Apparently There is a shopping mall and a train station, the map shows the town is as big as ever, so there's loads to do. I hope there's more hairstyles! Some people don't like the new bodies but i think it has a teenager vibe. So excited! hope it gets released soon!! x

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan't wait omg

add me!! my 3ds friend code : 2793-0915-4283
and give me your friend code by send it to my email ; bnoota-frfoosha@hotmail.com

im getting this im a huge ac Fan!

Something tells me that Nintendo will showcase all the new trailers at the CES and if not people are going to bug the crap out if them.

I love the series and i cant wait to see what they give us next! I wonder if it will be out by my birthday in the summer......

So the third of Jan is out.......anyone got any idea when the next posible date is?

Summer time

i wonder when its coming out,i cant wait!!!!

Never played an Animal crossing game. Maybe this will be my first.

Its gonna come out in 2016 like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C5_VbK6VCo

maybe it wont be boring like the DS one

it shouldn't be

I have high hopes it won't and I'm sure you'll be able to transfer your character from the Wii version to 3DS if a new channel is created or on the game some how...

i'm not sure cuz they hav cahnged the shape of the characters bodies and stuff.

I'm pretty sure the Official Nintendo Magazine [Europe's Nintendo Magazine] said it would come this summer. So that would mean May - September 2012 for all regions.

I can't wait to get this game! I hope the guesses are correct (the guesses for a summer realease).

If you didn't played An Animal Crossing before, you should try it. It is great! XD This is a very funny game. It can relax you.

I'm wwwaaaaaiiiiiiittttttttnnnnnnngggggg

Paper Mario release date & animal crossing fans for both...:
Paper Mario: August 2nd/ Animal crossing:August 2nd. Don't worry no releases are going to come out 2013...

OOOOOOhh, I just can't wait for this, been waiting for years for a new sequel, this looks like the best game EVER. Will stay up and sleep overnight at stores for this game. <3 this game, looks beast

Going off of what Nintendo said in a Nintendo Power forget what issue Animal crossing 3ds is coming out in either early summer or late summer hopefully more is revealed at this years E3

Animal crossing <3

Like I said, ICAN'T WAIT!!! XD I already played ACCF and luv the series!

Must be out soon cuz play.com has offered it up for preordering

me+wanting this game+never playing animal crossing=come out!come out!come out!

Lol , i've never played this game before, but my friend had it and loved it! Hmm... i might buy it...

Does anyone have any idea for release dates?

Wait for e3 it is coming soon. As for now all we know is Summer 2012.

I think in November/December 2012 like CF in 2008!

I've been playing animal crossing since the gamecube hopefully this game will have more features than cityfolk had since the only real thing that changed in cityfolk was not sharing a house and going to the city.

There are loads of new features in this game the ones that i can think of now are:
-Clothes girls now have the option of top, bottoms or dress
-You can style the outside of your house
-You are now the mayor
-More interactive with charaters
-The town is much bigger with more features (look on youtube for a map) like a cafe and a massive beach
-You can swim
-You can customise your own furniture
and many more i can't think of right now

@keiselle21 I Think this Will Be More Interesting Then The Other AC Versions !!I played All The 3 Version !! =)

i certainly hope so

i hear there will be new spots such as malls n cafe and stufff is this true?

counting down the days till i can buy it!!! =D

yeah it is true i believe

I love animal crossing so I am so excited to get this game this game is supposed to come out on may 2 right

two days......hmmm

Considering it's May 3rd right now...

i'm presuming its not May at all

Well now I am not happy I am mad when do u think it will be coming out now. Is it like June 1

I've never played an Animal Crossing, but with all the hype I'll have to keep my eye on it

Well I gave in and just ordered AC: City Folk for Wii on Amazon.ca. It will let me learn what an AC game is and keep me busy till the 3DS one is out. I hope they make an announcement for this at E3.

I have 3DS games with great graphics like RE: Revelation, Mario Land 3D and Mario Kart 7 but this one seems so colorfull and pretty in it's own way that you just want to dive right in!

i am really looking forward to this game

I don't know if it's true or not but I saw on Youtube a video that showed a translation of the video that most people have downloaded to their 3DS systems and it looked like you could put your house wherever you wanted and you could build other buildings in the town while you are Mayor. Like I said, I have no idea if it is true or if someone was just playing around but it's another feature to (MAYBE) look forward to

I just want this game to come out already, i have been waiting since august last year......at this rate i will have waited a whole year!!!

I am going to scream if his game does not come out soon I am so excited for this game I have played every other animal crossing game so I really want this one to come out

i hope they tell us when its coming out....even if it isn't for another year

It's been killing me ever since I heard about it! Some say for the US it was supposed to come out on May 2nd, but it did not. Others say this summer, or next spring, but we will have to wait and see. But like many others I believe it will come out this fall, because past ANIMAL CROSSING games have all been released in the fall. Also it will be ANIMAL CROSSING's 10th year anniversary, so why not. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!

@pixelman HOW NOT!!! THATS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have waited so long for this game to come out!!!! Ahhh I torture myself watching the trailer over and over :3 I wonder whats taking it so long to come out...

hmmmm when ever it comes out, summer, autum, next spring, they are going to have to tell us before the year ends because its tbc 2012

Please E3 now tommorow anytime!

GAHH!!! I'm still waiting for this game!! It's the game I'm most excited for and the major reason I bought a 3DS!!! I'm hoping we see it at the 3DS conference!!!!

Will it be at e3????????
If not expect rage everywhere.

I DESPERATLEY hope they say when it is coming out at e3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Game Stop makes up fake dates just so they can take preorders. Never trust them for dates, especially if they're not backed up anywhere else.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

it coming out in august or july or september i should know becuse i work at nintendo and i already got my hands on the a copy

sincerly ,
Andre

don't trust gamestop they have been wrong so many times before

Rumors are flying that this comes out August 2, 2012. Could it really be true? Why did they not even mention this game at E3? Could it be because it's already finished & ready to ship to stores - somewhere??

I hope you can DL this game, I'd like this to stay with me

I really want this game! I've got all the other ones, and I want to add to the collection! E3 was a real letdown though considering I didn't hear anything about this game! I may just have to rage-quit if Nintendo doesn't give any new info!

Arr! I'm gonna rant some now!
I'm going to be so upset and disappointed if this turns out to be the same kind of incremental update like the Wii version! >
Nintendo needs to do a full sequal, change some things, make new gameplay elements and expand the experience! I don't see the point if it's going to be the same game but with some new features like ''shrubs and lamp posts'' and swimming!! (oh boy)
I loved Animal Crossing on Gamecube, and I bought the DS version but couldn't play it, because it was so similar. I'd already seen it.

I really want to get my hands on this game so i can dress up as link and pull the master sword out of whatever the master sword is stuck in

I've been playing Animal Crossing since the one for Game Cube came out. I'm really looking forward to this one. Has Nintendo announced a release date? French Amazon hinted at Sept. 28 but as I was told, that's just a rumor.

according to nintendo direct animal crossing is scheduled to be released in 2013 beacause nintendo wants to make it perfect.

Release Date:
US: Dec 31, 2012
UK: Dec 31, 2012
Japan: Sep 30, 2012
Australia: Dec 31, 2012
Germany: Dec 31, 2011

why don't nintendo life update it as there ia an unofficial name called animal crossing jump out would post site with

@Moshugan
There are some major differences, you're the mayor!

Don't trust GameStop their predictions of release dates are basically just made up

Gamestops dates are ALWAYS wrong (Unless specified as confirmed). Don't expect it that late.

Here is my guess using Japan and EU and NA's TBD periods when they will come out.

JP: Late Sept/early oct
EU: Jan/Feb 2013
NA: Nov-Dec 2012.

It seems more likely in NA to come out earlier since they don't have to translate into a ton of random languages in the americas compared to Europe. But we will have to wait and see

I play ACWW all the time I love it just before bedtime ...hey you can have your SLEEPEZE pill I like ACWW lol

I love my ACWW . Unlike some folks I use it to help myself get to sleep...not that is is boring but that is for me soothing.

I'm too excited for it, even if it is going to be the best one as Nintendo promised I want them to take time in developing it to bring us a new fresh one in the series.

they will be

@R-L-A-George It is amazing! I have it for both wii and ds even though there aren't many differences in the two versions, I love them both to death XD

what about tom nook also can't wait til the game was release i have already have 3 animal crossing games for game gube , ds,and wii

what about tom nook also i have the other 3 animal crossing games

tom nook is now ur real estate agent according to other vids, P.S. watch the developers tel u about it more if the video is still on nitendo channel

it will probably come out the same time kid icarus did except in 2013, i have all the install ments of a c and if your wonder why you should buy it, here are 3 reasons
1. the graphics are SLIGHTLY better
2 the town is alot bigger
3 you get to become mayor!(although that might be bad cause ur secretary looks like a stalker)

Does anyone know The new animal crossing is for 3ds but can it also come on just the regular ds lites???

Doesn't Nintendo realize that every day they wait to release Animal Crossing 3DS is another day they won't make money on selling it??

Alexis7675 : nooo of cours

i cant wait 2013 for animal crossing 3ds i want it now this unbosibel

sooo faaar :"( hop they mention about it soon

This looks 10x better than the one on ds u can swim fish swim!!! xD

Have you seen the trailer you start in a tent (which you can trade in for a house later in the game), you can swim and there is a number of events (15 and up), characters, tools, furniture pieces, various clothing parts and cool ways to travel.

Please come out sooon

It looks so cool, I can't wait!!!!!

I can't help but watch the trailer over and over again,
BECAUSE IT HASN'T COME OUT YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

OH GOD..... It better come out early 2013 or I'll freak out.

I found out a couple weeks ago that Animal Crossing 3DS, will come out DECEMBER 31, 2012!!!!!!! In the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who told you that?

@andrethecool july is out, august is possible, september is likely

Where ever did they get that ''Jump out'' subtitle?

not coming out soon enough.

wating thiiis game to the laaast daaay in maaa life (U)

we have to wait for 2013 to come animal crossing 3ds

It comes out on December i dont work at nintendo but i just know someone told me

ANIMAL CROSSING,WHY U NO COME OUT SOONER?!

I love animal crossing it was soo fun.. Um does anyone know if they added more fossils/paintings/bugs/fish?

I'm always looking at these comments to see if there has been any more news.. as soon as this game comes out, I bet it will be hard to get this game because of the demand for it

This game has got to be number 1 for the 3DS and here it is 2 years after the release of the 3DS and their promise of it being a launch title. Oh well, thank goodness time has passed. Next is Pokemon "?" for the 3DS, hopefully...

Day one buy when it comes out!

Gamestop told me May 2nd of 2013 soo It's gonna be a while.. :/

So the new name is Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Awesome.

@Bass_X0 and everyone else who won't play this game unless it's newer than the last ones: http://www.youtube.com/user/WiiFolderJosh Just look at all his AC videos. Man oh man am I excited for this game.

check out the Japanese website for the game:
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/egdj/index.html
new things shown on the website are statues in the museum, some new villagers, the return of the lost and found, and TONS of screenshots, GIFs and a few videos. Also included is a FAQ that answers the question, "How many people can live in a village?", and a link to the Japanese twitter page with even more screenshots. It helps if you view the website in Google Chrome because it can translate the webpage for you. You're welcome.

When I heard there was coming a new Animal Crossing title, I was like WAUW!!
But then I realised after I'm playing such games it gets bored within a month, so I guess I'm gonna skip this one...

I'm a big follower of the series, and I will be sure to pick this one up on day one! Can't wait!

I've already been waiting so long for this... come out, nowww!!

I wonder if any store that will sell it takes preorders....

I am dieing of anticipation this has been since 2010! then we go along to 2011 then 2012 now 2013?!?!?!?/

@Bass_X0 Dude, now all the action takes place at the top screen; meanwhile you can equip stuff and all that o the touch screen. One of the best parts is when you can design all your clothes, including pants! cool, huh?

cant wait!

I want to see Animal Crossing on the Wii U that would be perfect. Anyone agree? Also I will pick this up when it hits NA looks epic.

@ChaeHusky I agree this is getting ridiculous.

Roll on the Nostalgia!

I have never played a previous Animal Crossing game and i gotta say that this game looks very intriguing.

Animal crossing on GC somehow entertained me when I bought it in 2010, so a 3DS version, I CAN'T WAIT!!

I went on my DS when i first heard of this.........its two years later and i no longer do........this is not funny!!!!!

This version has so much more to do!! I can't wait for it to come out! Decorate your town, swim, be the mayor, and you can even change your pants AND shoes this time. Trust me; they are making this one awesome!!

What is the point of this...?

Omg wating forever

i will wait no matter how long it takes...

I can't wait till they release this in America!!

This game is so going to be worth the wait I hope!

I pre ordered it 2 months ago:) Can't wait! I will be sharing friend codes so people can come to my town! Yayyyy:)

Right now, their story is "We will release this game in 1st quarter 2013".
I hope so!

I wish they announced this at the beginning of 2012 instead of 2010 I feel like I've been waiting forever..... Oh we'll it's almost upon us in America, it'll be worth the wait!

I want this game! i still play animal crossing wild world but its kinda sad this one is only on 3ds, i have a 3ds xl but still...

@Umbreon It works for the 3DS as well, lol.

AND I REALLY WANT THIS GAME. FFFFFFFFFFFFF

i really want it D: not sure i like the new character style though...

The graphics look really nice. I like the lighting effect on the characters. I heard that a lot of customization features will be added to this installment, which is great for me, since I'm an Animal Crossing control freak. I will pick this one up day one.

@clairelise does that mean you know when its coming out O_O

This is killing me! I can't wait!!!

I'm not going to have a lot of money left with all these awesome games coming out.
I can't wait to get Animal Crossing. I don't want to miss out on swimming and being a mayor!!

@Thewolfnamedshe
it is coming out on May 1st

All stores are shipping the game on that day

if you pre ordered it

@clairelise OMG I LOVE YOU Hugs U and aw man that kind of stinks e-e
Got to figure out which game to get TTwTT
Naruto powerful shippuuden or Pokemon gates, or animal crossing e-e

lets exchange friend codes when it comes out! up for playing acww right now anyone? i am mad that it is may 1. been waiting forever!

Haven't played Animal Crossing since the Gamecube. Very excited about this game. It will be nice to catch up. Nintendo, why do you have such great games? and great consoles to play them on.

Might be worth my time and money.

Maybe it will come out later this month or in March. Seems like it could.

I just wish the damn game would come out already!

Looking forward to this game, more then most of them. This, FF ARR, PSO2... So many 'TBA' games.

@clairelise Since when is it coming out on May the 1st...?

I'm the manager of a Le Superclub Vidéotron (Québec) and the manager of the Microplay department showed me the buy sheets and the release date is June 30th 2013 so don't get your hopes up for May 1rst guys.

I'm thinking. About to pre-order the game when has more details

I've had this pre ordered since September. Grr!! I'm just glad it will be out by June. I have a slight feeling this game is going to consume my life. ^_^

Sorry everyone!! LinandKo said that May 1st is just a place holder!! Sorry for posting that! It will be sometime around then though! Watch LinandKo's animal crossing new leaf videos on Youtube! They're awesome!!!

Hey guys, can we stop with the release date speculation, please? Let's not get each other's hopes up until Nintendo officially announces something :3

Well, it's not speculation, It's release date on our list is June 30th 2013. It's on a Sunday, wich most of top-ends Nintendo softwares usually goes on the market instead of the regular Tuesday.

We received the list 2 weeks ago. If anything changes, I'll let you guys know for sure

@Heresy19 I'm surprised that a "manager" would say that. The game is expected to release in the US/Europe in Q2. The company "you work for" put June 30th because June 30th is the LAST day of Q2. Most companies do that so if the game is released earlier than expected, they don't get criticized for it. It will most definitely be released earlier than that.

Can somebody explain to me what Animal Crossing is like? I've never played any of the games and it sounds like a lot of people like it. So what do you actually do?

Omg! Can you guys... ya know.... tell me when it's out? I NEED this game or I'll explodes

@ljinkakidd
Well, the Animal Crossing series have gone since 2002. There's over a billion players who are addicted to this game, including me. I'd just recommend getting it because it seems to have more than 15 new features....

Finally! A RELEASE DATE and it's BEFORE my birthday! BEST NEWS ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!! /)^ 3^(

Because of the Nintendo Direct I like to change my opinion. A lot of new stuff to do, so I will think about it

WOO A RELEASE DATE!!!!!

I preordered this when I preordered the 3ds... It was supposed to be a launch title. Just like Duke Nukem Forever, only time will tell if they've been actually doing any work on it. By now they should have a full scale MMO with a complex storyline, spaceships, an ecosystem that gets impacted by your every decision, and a way to build a business/empire. Oh, and bring back in-game games like the first one had.

Only time will tell if my expectations will be fulfilled. I'll hold my breath.

@tanooki18

Like I said in my previous comment, I'm the manager of the Superclub Vidéotron and it's the manager of the Microplay department that showed/told me the infos. So YES I'm a manager, I don't know why you're being such a douche with apostrophes but please just stop.

@ljinkakidd

It's a sandbox game: you do whatever you want. You can go fishing, digging fossils, catching bugs, buy/sell food and decorative ornaments/furnitures, you can design your clothing, invite your friends in your city, etc... On top of that, it's in real time (if it's 2am IRL, it's 2am in the game (unless you're cheating/playing another timeframe than yours)). Think of it like The Sims but your character don't need to sleep/pee/eat/be entertained all the fregggin time/get a job. Hope that helped

June 9th, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

I really hope this will come to the Wii U or a similar Animal Crossing game with the same concept ( Being the mayor, etc )

Couldn't get into series previously. I may give it another try on the stellar 3DS.

I'm Japanese. I'm playing this game already.
I want to play the game is interesting enough for people of many English-speaking countries.I recommend that you buy this game
Translated by Google translation

Ok what happens when you preorder it? Do you like get it out sooner or something O_O

If the reply to me, thank you in more simple English.I can not speak English well.

@Rusalii hey I got a question did they add more bugs, fish, paintings, and fossils you can collect?

You LIE Nintendo. I am disappointed in you! D<

I haven't played an animal crossing and this looks like a good start

I can't wait for this!

This is the only reason I bought a 3DS! 33 more days until I can go out and buy it! Animal Crossing Fanatic right here!

I like this new Animal Crossing. It is way bigger than the ds(i) version

Only 22 more days until the release! c:

I love how the first comments are from june 2010...
So we have been waiting for 3 years ^^''

I also bought a 3ds for this game... I can't wait to play it.

I love animal crossing. I can't wait to play it.

damn you americans, getting it a week before us!!

love americans by the way

Add me: 4940-5458-4521. I will probably add all of you tomorrow because it's getting late over where I am. First of all, this is all I know about animal crossing up to now. There is going to be many shops and u will start off with a tent for your house and as you go up of course it gets bigger and pays off. You also get to customize your banner aka picket fence any color and other designs you may have to buy out of a shop... You also can now swim go on boats and when you get off you get to explore an island and buy stuff. Also, you can play minigames for major prizes. There is internet connection to cross to other peoples world but, it's already open as long as you and your friend have the same game. Now there is going to be a sleep speller person that makes u sleep and wander to a different town and stuff you like you may purchase. PLEASE COMMENT AND ADD ME TO YOUR FC AND I WILL RESPOND TOMORROW...

hey guys im in america how good is animal crossing ive never played i have it pre-ordered.....also add me so we can be neighbors lol Fc:4828-4500-2196
see ya
Thanx

I'm reading the old comments from like last year and beyond on this page, and I've got to say. I feel really bad for the people who were anticipating this game's release long ago, I mean, there were numerous rumored and placeholder dates that people clung to, only to be shot down. Don't get me wrong, I've been waiting since 2010 like some, but I've basically ignored it(purposefully) until like last fall so I didn't get too hyped up too quickly only to have to wait for an unknown future release date. Some people must have had a torturous 3 years wait. Now, with 11 days to go, I'm SUPER DUPER EXCITED!

Other 2 weeks for Europe!!! AAAAARGH!!!

Hope Animal crossing new leaf comes out on Wii U... Has anyone heard anything?

5 more days...

I should do a countdown...

With dots...

To get a swim-suit u must wait till Mr.kappn green guy comes to he dock and I think he will give it to you or just go build a gift shop from isabelle and wait one day.

Pre-ordered it and traded in a couple DS games and got this bad boy for free.
