Review: Nintendo hits a home run - Nintendo over the years has made a habit out sticking to a select few franchises and re-launching the titles on their newer consoles. Sometimes Nintendo misses the mark on these games as they're simply not different enough to warrant a re-purchase of what is essentially the same game, but Nintendo has proven time and time again that some of their franchises are simply too irresistible to turn away. If you're wondering if Animal Crossing: New Leaf is new enough to warrant the purchase of the title or even a new console, you're in luck. Animal Crossing: New Leaf sticks to the same formula that has made Animal Crossing as popular as it has been over the past decade or so, but lets in a breathe of fresh air to update the franchise to the standards and capabilities of modern hardware. In the newest edition of the Animal Crossing franchise, you'll find that New Leaf has merely expanded on popular features and gameplay that has gotten the franchise to where it is today. However, they've added even more new features ontop of that, most notably that now your player is the Town's Mayor, and YOU decide what you want built in your town and where. One of the reasons why Animal Crossing has been so popular to so many people is because you can customize your play experience to truly fit whatever type of gamer you are, and you can have your character ingame (and their house!) reflect your own style or personality. The customization options in this game have been greatly expanded with the additions of new addons to your home, objects and buildings to place in your town, new furniture, new carpets and wallpapers, new types of fruits to collect, for the first time in the franchise your character can change what type of pants they can wear, and ontop of that there are numerous new shirts, hats, shoes, and all other kinds of accessories. The game has even introduced a new way to earn bells (the currency for the game), as now your character can get a 'diving suit' to go underwater to grab all sorts of aquatic life that your fishing pole cannot normally pick up. Of course, if you're adjusted to the older ways of collecting bells such as through the fishing pole and net, there have been numerous new fish and bugs added to the game. Unlike in Animal Crossing: Wild World, the game has also reintroduced a variety of new holidays that were not seen in that edition of the game, so there is truly almost a reason to play the game anytime during the week. There are also hundreds of different villagers available in this version of the game, so you can almost expect that any of your friends to have unique villagers different to your own. The game has also introduced a new feature known as 'Ordinances' in which your town will adapt to a new specialization to fit your playstyle! Whether you're an early bird, a night owl, a player that loves having a heavy bag of bells on you at all times, or someone that wants to be more environmentally conscious to avoid weeds from appearing in your town and so that yours flowers are better taken care of. The game offers you four distinctly different ordinances to better suit your playstyle. If you pick the early bird ordinance, your stores and villagers will be open earlier and out earlier to chat with you. The night owl is the exact opposite as stores will close later and your villagers will stay out later as well. The ordinances add a new level of depth to any player of the game. For parents that are worried about interactions that their children may have while playing the game, the game supports the 3DS parental controls to ensure that no offensive content may be shown to younger players of the game. Also, at anytime if one of the villagers begins to say bad words due to a catchphrase given to them by another player, you can visit the ingame Town Hall to have that villager 'reset' and avoid from saying such things in the future. That being said, the game does offer online connectivity so that players can play with their friends over the internet, but if you're not far away it still supports local connections between 3DS's. I wish I could cover all of the new things that this game has brought and has done for the franchise, but then this review would never end. If you've ever been an Animal Crossing fan before, or have been looking for the right time to join this franchise, you'll never find a better opportunity than New Leaf.
Review: ACNL ♥ - Thoroughly enjoyed this purchase. The only legit catch is the game essentially NEVER ends and essentially can take years to complete specific things in-game (item collecting, catalog completing, museum completion, etc. [to collect every single item WITHOUT time traveling /changing time/date on your 3DS system/ or getting any assistance from other person who plays the game can take roughly 12 years as you have a year-end item based on the zodiac signs]). I for one am still trying to complete the museum after 2 years (I just need two pieces of art to finish the entire museum). Game really is a joy when playing with others who have the game and really comes in handy for those specific items that you just can't seem to get your hands on. Then there are badges to make gameplay last even longer... I'm still widdling away at the 'bank 100,000,000 bells' medal :U I don't recommend if you don't at least play the game a couple hours a day to keep relations with your villagers (if you're one who likes to collect the items that prove your friendship among the huge villager list [items known as 'animal pictures']- my usual routine is find the daily 4 fossils and 3 gyroids if it rained/snowed in-game the previous day and find the money rock or on occasion gem rock and the fake rock, shake all the trees around town to get another 2,000 bells and catch the 5 bees from said trees, water all the flowers around town, and lastly talk to everyone around town at least once). If you're one to collect things, this is a great addition to the Animal Crossing franchise (first player you make takes the responsibility of mayor of the town [make initial villagers happy by building public works projects or generally build your town to a perfect condition and/or if you're familiar with the franchise find your ideal villagers as there are over 300 villagers], and every other player you make [up to 4 total including the initial mayor player] is essentially like playing the other Animal Crossing games [though I've only played City Folk on the Wii]). The only thing I can honestly think of that I don't like about the game is that storage items can hold up to 180 items but every storage item placed will contain the very same 180 items. I can understand why it is implemented this way but it is very bothersome if you're one to try to collect everything... especially the animal pictures. I guess if you are one who collects all the animal pictures, I'd probably guess the best remedy for that is use the museum rooms though that can only hold 256 out of the 333 animal pictures. Rating 5/5 because the game is a great, relaxing game and you can literally take as long as you want to play. Gives you something to do to pass time that is honestly quite relaxing over most other games.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can more then one person have a house in New Leaf just like in Animal Crossing City Folks?**
A: Yup :) Up to four playable characters and houses, the first person created will be Mayor and the rest will just be villagers :)

**Q: I've never played any of the Animal Crossing games before. Do you have to have played the previous games for this one to make sense?**
A: Absolutely not. The story of this game starts your character off completely fresh in your new town and the story of your town is explained thoroughly in the beginning. There are a lot of little secret tricks, however, (such as the money rock) that have continued over from previous games but your animal villagers will hint at them if you talk to them enough (or you can look them up)

**Q: what age group would enjoy this game the most**
A: I feel as though age varies with this game (and previous versions). I am 22 and love playing AC, and have since I was 12. All age groups can play given that it doesn't have a difficult story line or controls. I would even venture to say that children as young as 7 or 8 could play AC. Hope this helps a little.

**Q: can you play this game on the old Nintendo DSi**
A: More than likely you cannot given that it is meant for a Nintendo 3DS and the actual game card is differently shaped thus making it unable to be played on anything that is not a 3DS or a 2DS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Animal Crossing of all three versions.
*by K***T on August 5, 2013*

I am a huge Animal Crossing fan. I have 4 Wild World games and have completed 2 and started over. I have City Folk on the wii too. When this came I I wanted it so bad but I have the DS lite and it is for the 3DS. I finally could stand it no more and bought the 3DS just to play this game so glad I did the bigger screen is so much better. I cannot do the 3D as it makes me sick so glad you can turn it all the way off. I have been playing 10 days now and I am so addicted. I am 57 not a kid and I play 2 to 3 times a day. There are so many new things and almost all of the old things but better. I love how the animals actually do things they shop and go to the museum and fish shake trees. They invite you over to their house to give decorating ideas and if you talk enough they let you pick out an item and take it sometimes for free or if it is really specials sell it to you really cheap. Going to the Island is so much fun and a way to make money fast. You get to bring back 40 items like fruits, shells, fish, flowers each time you go over. There are more fruits than before the island ones are worth 250 bells. I write letters to the animals all 9 of them everyday asking for fruit I still need apples and pears but they are not cooperating. lol. You start out in a tent that cost $39,000 but you don't have to work for Nook in this game. Nook is strictly in home building and remodeling at quite hefty price points. You are the mayor of your town. You get to choose the layout form 5 or 6 cannot remember exactly as you are on the train. When you get there you get to pick where you build your house. Very nice features. I simply love going swimming and deep sea diving. I did buy the guide I have all 3 it is nice to mark off what you have. It has some bad reviews but really its not that bad. I like the smaller hand held book I would have liked to seen the pictures of the animals with the names but except for the new ones I can look back to the previous guides they do have pictures. Mine feels sturdy and of good quality not going to fall apart. Now all I need are people who are nice and respect each others towns to wifi and visit with. I have visited on the island but not really talking much. I will not trample flowers or leave your sight nor will I steal. I do need apples and Pears. I can trade everything else except bamboo have not seen that on the island yet. If you want to wifi and are of like mind leave me a comment. I also found a web page that has some very helpful hints that are not in the guide I cannot post it here but I could put it in the comments if you ask, if you hit like I will get an automatic email so I can respond.
