It's an odd feeling having an achievement that says Nintendo hates you though. I mean, why else would they be that sadistic? Heh.

I've only played the original and I didn't like the look of it in WW. Maybe it'll look better with a bigger screen.

The rolling landscape doesn't really bother me. I do enjoy how dense AC GCN looks, but the way the town is a grid is kinda lame. Given the advanced customisation options with regards to clothing and accessories, it doesn't make much sense any more to have a birds-eye view.

That's what I did with the DS one (barely played City Folk though). Went with Crysta (the song from that place is so goddamn gorgeous) from Terranigma... damn, the feels.
Cannot wait for this little gem.
Lol nice. The superior garden.
I hoped that the higher resolution in the 3DS would mean they could go back to the original perspective. At least they should give the player a choice. /sigh
You can try, but you'll have to get past the Lewd guards. And no one gets past them without my okay.

I don't know how a camera perspective makes any real difference in honesty. You wouldn't be able to see some of the new stuff in very good detail.

out this soon? Huzzah! And I'll have a *little* bit of free time to play it. doesn't hurt it's a great game for 10 minute bursts either. Going digital as my monhun cart is welded to the 3ds
I like it, much better than that pause between moving to different parts of the map in the original.

I never played the original AC so the rolling world is the only world that I know.

There's grass wear again? I had no idea. Going to call to cancel my pre-order I think.
Not really, but that is disappointing 
There was an etiquette a while back about writing to them. Something like... making sure its not gibberish and include words that you know they like.
EDIT: Here we go. http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Letter

I.... I have become a hoarder in the original animal crossing.

The only alternative in my opinion is a full third person view, and that wouldn't give a very good perspective of what's going on around you i.e. spotting animals.
Grass wear looks a lot better this time round.

This time the grass won't be "cracking", it'll be way smoother visually.

Its not as bad as in CF. There are also items you can buy that restore the wear.
Haha, stuff on this page reminds me of what I would always send. http://acfun.wallypogsbog.com/guides/letters/letters.htm
Lots of "please" and keywords like "friend."
Does the grass wear get as bad as in City Folk? My city in that game was nearly a desert apart from a few small patches of grass.
EDIT: Didn't see then answers above my post.

I didn't pre-order the bundle and now I have to wait until Monday to call up my local GameStop to see if I can still get one.
I don't want to to order it online and wait a week for it to arrive.

The answer is simple. Allow us to zoom in or out as we please. It's not like it's a problem that hasn't been solved before. I wouldn't even mind the rolling view if it was the extreme zoomed in view. Let me back the camera out and the world looks more like the original game. Problem solved.
Maaaaan.....I wish I had known that XL's were on sale. I would have upgraded. :/

I recall somebody saying if you mentioned a particular item i.e. a piece of fruit, you might get that item?
I guess don't buy it if a camera angle ruins the whole game for you. But... I mean, you're missing out big time.
Nope. Mine will be the usual "Fuck you" etc.
I hope one if your villager will come to my town and show me all the letters with your darkest secret you sent to them!
XLs are always on sale. It's tough not to find a week where they're marked down at least $20, if not $40.
In Canada at least. *wink*
Yeah, that was the main pro for me. But like the other poster said, it did feel claustrophobic; while you could see better the amount you saw was greatly reduced. Maybe he and I both played on big ass CRTs but the change in viewing amount hurt. I eventually got used to it, but even I have an irl friend who won't be buying this because of the perspective change. I didn't play City Folk much so it should be less jarring for me this time around, and like Emitan said they may have made improvements.

Crazy to think you can get an XL for that price, when I paid like $250 for my regular 3DS at launch. Never really use the 3D, either, so the bigger screens would be appreciated.
Enjoy

I'm gonna blackmail my whole town for items.
There should be a guide to pissing off your neighbors and making them move. Like how to write the dirtiest possible letter. Bonus points if they show it to someone else.
I hit the unwanted neighbors with a net. Bwehehehehehe.
It'll mostly be stuff like "Meet me behind Re-Tail at 2:45 am. Don't tell Mabel."

This is one of the big reasons why I never buy consoles at launch anymore.

Hello CrossingGAF!
Long time lurker, first time poster here on gaf.
I'm a huge fan of animal crossing and New Leaf will be mine on day 1!
my last AC game was Wild World back in '05 which yielded so many good times.
anyway I'm really looking forward to playing online with gaf! I'll add my FC to the form in the next few days.
I'll most likely name my character Hax (not because im a hacker, but because in real life I make edm under the alias Hax Maubrich so that's what my friends know me as)
not sure what my town name will be yet so hopefully I think of something soon.
Also where can I get that leaf to "New Leaf-ify" my avatar?

Guys, could I get a green leaf for my avatar? Somewhere at the bottom, near the legs maybe? It can cover up one of the legs if it needs.
Welcome, just got accepted into GAF recently as well.

I'm probably just going to buy a blue 3DS XL today at target and get animal crossing later.
