Animal Crossing: New Leaf releases on June 9th in North America, June 14th in Europe

[Jake]

Same here. Plus, there's a "special feature" coming to the American version of the game, so that's completely new.

Not to be rude but it's kinda obvious that the 'special feature' will just be something like getting streetpass houses over spotpass; it''s not going to be a huge phenomonom that'll change American game play completely from the Japanese gameplay

It is still something to be curious of, animal crossing has more or less the same routine anyway xD
I'm from europe nonetheless so it doesn't affect me xD there are a lot of japanes tourists where I live so I bet I'll be getting tons of AC streetpasses haha xD

I am now hoping in the next ND that Na tells us something about this feature cause atm, due to a poster on acc...I want to poke my eyes out or hit my head of the insanely of some of that person posts.

What they'd say on ACC? o.o

What they'd say on ACC? o.o

The person is claiming they are working on the game and that there will not be any cross region town visiting.

here are a few statements:

I can only repeat it: There won't be any cross-continental town visiting.

I mean, are you even serious or kidding us? South Korea and Japan are both on the same continent and both in the same region (East-Asia). Both Japan and South Korea have the same region-locked Nintendo 3DS models. It is absolutely no surprise that Japanese player can visit Korean players. Korea once belonged to Japan as Japan ruled Korea (they were once one country) in the 20th century.

Germany and France are in Europe and therefore located in another region than South Korea and Japan. EU/NA will not be able to visit SK/JP.

You can play other 3DS games via wifi-connection regardless of their origin because these 3DS games are no-culture games.

You can play for example Mario Kart 7 with no cross-continental barrier because it has no country-specific culture. Mario Kart 7 JP, EU and NA have exactly the SAME features therefore cross-continental town visiting is possible. Furthermore MK7 was released in the SAME WEEK in JP, EU and NA, it was meant to be played globally.

AC: NL however totally differs from other games. It has culture, different holidays, traditions, it IS country-specific. Also the late release dates are evidence that the gameplay will be changed and new features added and others left out. It will be DIFFERENT and therefore cross-continental town-visting will not be able. Nintendo didn't want to disappoint players so they didn't say it won't be impossibe. Also it is exaggerated to say that Nintendo wants to connect AC players with different cultures. I'm sure players in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not keen on ever visiting an American town.

Sure they will. They will replace or completely throw away japanese items. One more reason why there won't be any cross-continental town visiting.

I'm working on the following aspect: Westernization of gameplay & adjustment of holidays. Well, it's no surprise you didn't knew it, almost nobody knows it. My team had to sign a deal that clearly states that I am not allowed to talk about it until it is released

I had to write a email to nintendo cause yea this will not end well if enough people see it as fact. oh and I see it as trolling cause really?!?

South Korea and Japan are both on the same continent

Last I checked, Japan was comprised entirely of islands. =p


ACC is the worst place to look for any information. The rumors and troll posts are considered just as much as the actual legit information.

There isn't going to be any region locking, and it would be counter productive to take content out of a game when it was already in there to start off with. Unless Nintendo has specifically said it, don't believe it.

99% of the time someone claims to work for something game/show related on the internet, they're probably lying.

Take it with a grain of salt, especially if it's on a site like ACC. I can't see someone who actually works on the game joining a site like that. It's hardly professional looking.

"My friend's step dad works for Nintendo and I'll get him to block your 3DS account from getting online!"

"Oh yeah? My mom's friend's brother's aunt twice removed is friends with Iwata and she told her nephew to tell his sister to tell my mom to tell you that ACNL actually stands for Animal Crossing: "NOPE" Luigi. You'll only be able to play as Luigi and all furniture is green and all the neighbors wear Luigi hats."

ACC in a nutshell.

Both Japan and South Korea have the same region-locked Nintendo 3DS models.

Umm I'm pretty sure they're different?

- Also I'd just like to point out, *****ing about another forum is kinda stupid and immature

 

[aikatears]

yea I am holding back from posting a respond to that due to it will be modded...alot. going to think happy thoughts very very happy thoughts now

 

[KarlaKGB]

I thought region locking was only related to what region of games your 3DS can play?

me too but idno for some reasons my head thinks Japan and Korea are different, they're the same region, but different languages, that's why. Idno

 

[KarlaKGB]

Of course, same could be said for Europe and its myriad of tongues.

 

[Punchyleaf]

Eh, that person is an obvious idiot. We have been able to visit other countries from WW, why stop now? And yeah, I doubt someone who worked for Nintendo who was told to not say anything would go there and publicly announce they worked for Nintendo.

Region locking can refer to online games that lock what regions you can play with online.

 

[Justin]

South Korea is a separate 3DS region from Japan. Hong Kong and Taiwan are considered part of the Japan 3DS region though.

NTSC-U (North America, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines)
PAL (Europe and Oceania)
NTSC-J (Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan)
South Korea

Yeah I'm aware of that, just have never heard of this being the case for Nintendo games. Except this latest Monster Hunter game which is waiting for a patch before it allows EU-NA play

Yeah, but that's not really Nintendo's doing. Capcom likes their MH games not to have cross-region play, or to just not release them outside of Japan at all. lol

Other than that, yeah. Nintendo's first party games tend to be worldwide online.

Isn't China separate, too?
