I'll be honest, I've never watched the video :|

 

[Micah]

Compiled a bunch of notes from the above video for you all:i
- BOYS CAN WEAR SKIRTS!

Haha

If Animal Tracks has been confirmed to have been left out of this game, I can put it in for consideration on whether or not it surpasses the ultimate (in my own opinion) game Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Gamecube.

Static, I saw it in the roundtable discussion or something, but this time with added subtitles. It explains so much ^^ Are we allowed to paste links? lol

oh here, just search this on youtube.

A developer roundtable for Animal Crossing 3DS

was just released

*reedit again*

Just watched it i'm so excited now. thanks for mentioning it.

 

[Kip]

Honestly, there's nothing bad about Animal Paths, if you learn to use them. It's great

I hardly ever hate anything, well, I try not to, but I am really going to say that I just wasn't fond of Animal Tracks and it's a good job that I have Gold Roses and plenty of them as they are they ONLY reason that I still have at least 95% of my original grass.

The video said that the game is a little way out before its release, so does that mean we might see it coming out around this upcoming spring?

And on the topic of Animal Paths, I'm not sure if that's confirmed yet. Course I don't usually run around because I can get there by walking. Course I won't mind if it's there or not.

I would mind if it was there as it kinda ruined my experience...

I guess it's just a matter of opinion...personally, I wouldn't really mind it, but I'd sort of be annoyed. I'd find some way to tune it out, though.

I don't thing anyone knows when the release date is because they didn't announce it yet.

 

[ThatACfan]

I didn't like the animal tracks but its no deal breaker if it has it or not at this point I don't care.

 

[TheFarmboy]

Course I said "....might see it....", so I'm not sure on the release date as anyone else. But the fact they said it's a little way out makes me think that it would come out pretty soon atleast before E3. Some misplaced optimism or something on my end.

 

[Solar]

I'm really embarrassed to ask this, since i've played all three games, but what exactly are Animal Tracks?

Animal Tracks is the feature in Animal Crossing City Folk/Let's Go to the City that kills off your grass and can eventually turn your entire village into a desert.

No need to feel embarressed as there is no such thing as a weird question, I am one to ask crazy questions, but I don't get bothered if anyone calls me as I won't stoop to a silly person's level.

100% CONFIRMED: THERE'S GOING TO BE A SHOPPING MALL!!!!

100% CONFIRMED: THERE'S GOING TO BE A SHOPPING MALL!!!!

I guess some people don't bother reading previous pages XD

I wonder if they'll sell more types of furniture such as Wiis, Drum sets, Games etc

 

[Prof Gallows]

I just watched the interview video and I'm liking what they have so far.
The variation in animal height is great, that was something I always nitpicked about in the other games.

but has anyone heard anything about if there will be new or increased numbers of fish and insects?

Spoiler: Previews

2:22 - 2:29

3:51 - 3:56

I'll update when more stuff comes or if you think something is missing post here and I will add it.

If you all think about it very carefully, Animal Crossing first released in 2002 and since next year, 2012, will be the 10th Anniversary of the Animal Crossing series, they might be going back to Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Gamecube with Animal Crossing 3DS as there are a lot of things that have reappeared that were from the Nintendo Gamecube version and it might be like what SEGA has done with Sonic Generations.
This is, however, just my own opinion, but it is certainly looking to be correct.

Well the first Animal Crossing (animal forest) was released in 2001 so that would mean its 10th anniversary is this year. But 2002 was when it first came to the US... i think XD
