The major competition Animal Crossing faces is Last of Us.

It will certainly obtain a top 5 ranking, would be interesting to see if it can outsell the multi-format series such as Fifa.

Either way, it'll certainly continue the juggernaut that the 3DS is currently ruling on.

Anyone have previous experience with getting their free Extra Games copy on the day of the title's release?

I'm wishfully hoping Nintendo will send my Animal Crossing code the exact moment it's released, hah.

I love how Animal Crossing went from a Japan only obscure game to one of Nintendo's most successful franchises.

Really hoping this title will capsize the 3DS into more success. Much looking forward to grabbing my free copy.

Not planning on getting this one, but happy to see all these 3DS exclusives chart so highly the past few months.

Have you guys ever given a 0, out of interest?

Not to get fanboy-ish, but last I checked, the Wii outsold both the PS3 and XBOX360 in the last console war, both casual and hardcore gamers.

Why do game developers get this perception that Nintendo must go multi-format?

Oh sod off CNN.

I for one am happy that Nintendo stick to their own stance and refuse to give into peer pressures from other companies/shareholders.

I'm still proud to be a Nintendo guy, as I have been for the past two decades, and still feel today that I get the best out of my gaming hobby with this company. 3DS was the best investment I made in recent memory.

Not that I'm denying chavs and the like buy it, and of course it sells by the load on the brand name alone, but hasn't the quality of the FIFA series greatly improved over the past few years? I seem to recall this latest title getting very positive reviews.

Happy to see Lego City carrying on the sales momentum, and much good that Luigi's Mansion hasn't creeped out of the top ten yet.

Woot, Ambassador updates will be complete!!

Would live to see some titles that previously missed out on the VC.

Just please don't be just every iteration of Street Fighter II.

Interesting that the prequel, spin-off esque title charted higher than the proper game.

Much happy with the 3DS chart goodness

Loving that Fire Emblem is topping other European countries charts!!

I think Fantasy Life is a given what with the trademarks et all.

Another one goes to the dawgs.

Fantastic news, when I get some spare cash, I'll be picking up my copy. Hope the popularity of this title will mean that Fire Emblem will have forever success on these shores.

Ah. Skip this one for the time being.

Of course This is a series that I could play countless entries on.

Nice one More JRPG goodness heading to the West.

I'd rather they not rid Netflix or iPlayer, as I still use those everyday.

Please. Make this happen.

That's all fair enough.

But it's becoming a worrying habit and trend that publishers are making delays at the last minute.

So happy, especially as this is selling well with Luigi's name. Well deserved for a truly fantastic title.

No excuses not to get Gunman Clive at that price.

I'll be picking up Mutant Mudds now that it's got a temporary reduction.

Good to hear that it's sold well at least and is in demand. It's also still high up on the eShop charts.

Wishful thinking for another Nintendo Direct?

I think it would do well in the West

Echo the same thoughts as everyone, loving the look of this, but will wait until the reviews are revealed.

Those certainly aren't bad numbers, even if they haven't met previous games sales...

Proof that Pauline could've been one of gaming's most famous and iconic mascots.

More Layton goodness!

The popularity of Layton in all markets worldwide defeats any excuse why this should not be localised.

Where does this one fit, chronologically?

Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion demo is also avaliable, as is the retail version.

I managed to get one person.

Seriously get Mario Golf if you never experienced it back in the day.

Utterly superb addition.

I miss chubby Pika.

Heh, just glad to see VC support at least.

I'll just carry on playing my 3DS in public, thanks.

Love it.

A Layton vs Ace Attorney trailer has also been released, showcasing the gameplay. Visual style is very similar to the one used in this new Ace Attorney entry.

I seem to recall there being a Dragon Quest IX advert, with two girls at the helm. All they seemed to highlight were the outfits you could dress your character in, barely any mention of the RPG itself...

I feel like the only one who was thrilled when they announced a Blue Toad...

Ah, shame. Despite being developed by Level-5, the 'Professor Layton' series always struck me as a Nintendo franchise and I was hoping it would forever remain an exclusive. Ah well, at least it'll reach out to new audiences, saying that, it already has been successful worldwide, establishing a dedicated fan base.

More Picross goodness! Yes please!

I remember as soon as we got an N64 for Christmas in 1997, Issue 10 of N64 magazine was an accompanient that same month. So sad, been following the magazines since I was a child.

Happy to see that the VC has (sort of) picked up a bit of steam again.

This will be fine, as the Coin-Rush levels are simply an add-on and not a necessity to the main game, purely an extra option if you choose.

I was there today, believe it or not. They have an archway near the front of the store and 3DS/3DS XL's to play on. Entered that competition too. Insta-hooked on the game, but I gave myself a two-level restriction until I get my own copy.

Was it not Brain Training which started the whole celebrity/casual/family orientated adverts?

Super Mario Bros 4 much?

I'd be annoyed if the download messed up at the 44th minute :/
