Discuss the AC: New Leaf Prima strategy guide here

[Lotus]

I pre-ordered mine from Play-Asia

 

[PapaNer]

well i hope those 512 pages actually have useful stuff in it and in nice color

I'm pretty sure all the US guides are in color.

 

[RainbowYoshi]

Omg this is awesome, I'd so live to get a guide.

 

[Doctor Nebula]

I'm waiting to see a preview of it before pre-ordering; although, most likely I'll get it anyway.

 

[Roguefae]

It's also available on amazon. Just placed my order.

 

[Cinnabunnie]

I'll probably pick it up when I pick up my game on June 9th

 

[PumpkinVine47]

Well unfortunately if it's $20 for the guide we'll probably just be getting a standard, error-ridden guide and not a real guide like what you can get in Japan

Seriously. Prima guides are awful. I used to take a red marker and circle every factual error, typo and grammatical error I could find in my Prima guides. It was oddly fun, like I was a teacher grading a student's work.

I bought the Japanese guide, despite not knowing Japanese, and if this guide is anything like the previous guides... I'll probably learn more from the Japanese guide.

It's $12.99 on amazon right now for pre order.

 

[Officer Berri]

Wow it's that cheap? Guess I'll order it off Amazon the same time I pre order the game.

 

[Sora]

So it is prima? Dang I wanted someone decent. I mean Prima did do a pretty good job with Little Big Planet 2 so don't get too worried.

 

[Officer Berri]

Is Prima just nefariously bad or something? I mean, I've had errors in books from Brady games and Nintendo Power too.

 

[aikatears]

unless Bradygames is also making a guide for the game (from what I gather nintendo and prima has some type of deal) its going to Prima all the way. Now maybe Nintendo send them a copy of the game to work with or something but we can only hope they got enough time to work on it to make it good for use.

Yes, terribly bad. Every Prima guide I've ever purchased (for various games) has always been riddled with misinformation, typos, etc.

And yet, because I'm a sucker for having a physical guide... I still buy them anyway. >_<

 

[Officer Berri]

Wow. I have a lot of Prima guides and I never realized they had so many errors in them. xD

 

[Punchyleaf]

I'm getting the guide on amazon.
I'll wait 2 extra days but at least it's only $12.99

 

[PapaNer]

Prima goes for break in marketing. they have done better recently, so I have hope!

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this the Japanese version, but the book is translated into english??? If so then I'm getting this one: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10209688

I don't think it is. I found this further down the page:

( This is a machine translation. Please allow for possible misinterpretations in the text. )

Also, a quick search of the ISBN on Amazon indicates it's in Japanese.

 

[erinesmee]

aww man!! I was hoping it was lol

 

[Hamusuta]

No game stops in england
