What's sad about this is that most of everyone here is a loyal fan. Imagine how people that are more casual feel. The longer the wait, the smaller the sales will be I think, and NoA will think "oh, I guess AC:NL just isn't that popular here in America" and the same in Europe, and that'll effect decisions in the future.
I'm starting to get that same feeling I got for Monster Hunter 3DS. I was definitely going to get it when they first announced it, but now I've gotten to the point where I might as well wait to just buy Monster Hunter 4. If enough people think that way, though, NoA might think the MH series isn't doing so well here, as I'm sure they are already thinking, and might just delay priority on localizing MH4.
Now I'm sure Animal Crossing New Leaf will come out eventually here, but the longer they wait, the less support they'll have for the series, which I fear will lead to the subsequent lack of support localization for any future AC games by NoA.
I'm gonna go watch some AC:NL vids.
