The video indicates turnip market trading is back. You ask the alpaca lady at the recycle shop for the day's turnip price.

Animal Crossing focused Nintendo Direct 10/5 20:00
- Thread starter Hobby
- Start date
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/videogames
I guess it doesn't even qualify as news, whatever.
And it's been like that since this Nintendo Direct.
And japanese handheld games are really expensive.(or that means Animal Crossing will be sold out)
Famitsu has new screens up.
Lots of the info in the article is just the stuff that was in the Direct, but some of it seems new, too, though I could be wrong.
- Can look at and go inside the houses of people you've streetpassed with at the "housing exhibition". Can even buy furniture within their house.
- Play with friends either locally or online at the island.
- Island features numerous minigames, both cooperative and competitive that can be played with friends.
- Island has its own fruit, bugs, and fish.

Famitsu has new screens up. Working on translating the article at the moment.
I like the river path.
One cool thing about this game is you don't have to worry about shop/museum/town hall locations. Museum and shops are across the tracks.

This sounds like the PERFECT Animal Crossing game, holy shit.
General 3DS question but also somewhat related: When you buy the physical version, can you "install" it onto your 3DS so you don't have to have the card in all the time? Or can you only do that if you buy the digital version?
Because lord knows I want this game in my 3DS at all times but I really would like to have a physical copy.

Little disappointed the towns aren't bigger... but oh well, still looks awesome.

If only!
When they first announced the 3DS it sounded like they might be going for this, but it was only relating to the Streetpass portion of the game, which you can't interact with directly.

I think they should have adjusted the curvature of the world view - walking from top to bottom of the town, it like it'd wrap onto itself (still)!
Jokingly, that could be why the towns aren't bigger!
It's still great.

Map isn't normally on the bottom screen, that guy just has the map open.
Normally in Wild World, the game takes place on the bottom screen and the sky is displayed on top.
New map on bottom screen is great

I'm pleased with the removal of the sky. Gulliver and shooting stars used to stress the shit out of me.

Tagging onto this, and it's probably more of a general 3DS question but if I have a physical version and decide to buy the digital version does the save transfer or not? Or vice versa?

I believe that Nintendo is releasing an application for the purpose of transferring saves from the retail cart to the digital version.

Shitty not real holidays and no NES games eventually stopped me from playing Wild World and prevented me from buying City Folk at all.
But this...this looks too good. Plus the digital version is so perfect. Half of what stopped me from playing the original AC was having another game in the GCN and being too lazy.
That subbed Nintendo Direct video is amazing. These screens are amazing. 3D photo mode...amazing.

I love that they're adding several new things, but this irritates me. They shouldn't double down on all the game mechanics that have been in so far regardless of quality and try to get them to be less shitty. Just get rid of the weeds. They suck. I want a new experience not 80% the same but refined with new animals. I'll just play the GC version if its going to be that. I loved Animal Crossing on GC because of how refreshing and quirky it was, not because I could collect all the things or pull weeds or because doing chores for villagers is so mind-bendingly awesome.
ALL JUST MY OPINION I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WANT OTHER THINGS FROM THE GAME.

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Oh so much yes.
Lucky I have the spicy Bravely Default to keep me distracted until this drops.

Franklin not afraid to be eaten, Wendell in his pajamas, Jingle tells you to deliver all Xmas gifts, Joan and her crazy turnips, Mike looking hot, Gracie looking fierce as usual, Peely & Phyllis first screenshots! SO MANY NEW VILLAGERS!

Site updated with a bunch of info. I'll translate it in a bit, but the one thing I just noticed is the "best friend" registration. If you and someone else register one another as best friends, you can talk to each other even when you're not in the same village together. You can also invite people to your village that are only registered as your best friends.
Oh, and Shizue, the secretary, has a brother, Kent, that works at the happy home exhibit.

Thanks for the info, I can't wait for more translations. I wonder what they mean by "talk to"? Like sending text messages? Letters? Voice chat? I'd love to be chatting with someone while I go about my town fulfilling my mayoral duties of kicking ass and taking names. You can do that in this game right?

HOLY SHIT REAL HOLIDAYS. Weed day... should be 20th April, surely? And that chameleon I WANT A PLUSHIE OF HIM. Damn, this game just became my most wanted ever.
I would have been somewhat happy with Wild World w/ bells and whistles, but this is a true sequel. Makes City Folk look like a festering pile.
Sending messages, yeah.

Make a Best Friend!
Become best friends with your Nintendo 3DS friends! If both you and your friend save one another as best friends, you will be informed of when that person comes online and even if you arent currently visiting their town, you can still talk to them by sending messages!
