I just bought the NA version...

[Stargirl]

I'm going to be patient and wait until Sunday, I'd feel too guilty if I bought a copy early. xD

 

[Leonn]

I admit I am super jealous. :O
I tried calling the stores around here and they all said to be patient. :/

Mines on reserve, so it's sunday for me.

I just got my copy today as I hoped! Diving into it now.

Excellent luck! Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. If seeing my admittably so-so Japanese town floats your boat, then I'll be happy to open my gates later on. Here's a quick tip: Make 500 bells and take a ID photo at Photo Booth, so you can fully use your Train Station.

 

[Joey]

Congrats to those who got it early.

 

[Feraligator]

I'm waiting for it to (hopefully) come on June 13th.

Awesome!!! I hope you make a blog for your game!! I love reading them, they help tide me over!

If anyone is curious, here's what the cartridge looks like. I haven't seen anyone post the English one before. =o

(probably because everyone who wasn't me got a digital version for their review copy lol)

Justin, any interest in a fruit swap? I know this isn't the appropriate place to ask, sorry. =P
Did you buy your game from a semi-large chain as well?

The woman at my local Walmart sounded like she's answered the question "Do you have Animal Crossing for the 3DS available for sale yet?" a lot. Lol. No surprise though, I rarely hear of stores in Canada breaking release date. But it was worth a shot.

Awesome, I've been waiting to see what that would look like! I like how the town tree is in the middle; it really represents the game imo.

If you've got time, could you take a photo of the instruction manual? x)

 

[Joey]

It's nice to see the actual catridge for once. This gets me so much more excited.

The inside of the case was a little underwhelming, but I ordered the Prima guide from Amazon. Hopefully that will satisfy my need for info. Here are a few pictures:

(The rest of the insert is just basic health warnings, etc.)

The back of the Club Nintendo page had a picture of Reese and Cyrus.

Thanks for taking the time to take photos! And you're right, the inside is pretty underwhelming :/ But I guess that's to be expected, since most first party NOA games seem to be putting less and less time into the manuals to save on paper x)

Anyway, thanks again
Just a few more days for the rest of us.

 

[Joey]

Thanks for posting them. I'd love to read the leaflet.

"Welcome to your new life!" I giggled, because it's true.

Man, well neither of my walmarts are selling early. xD I'd have been willing too.. I only put the minimum down for my bundle, paying it off tomorrow.

So um.. Shortly after posting, I called best buy... I'm here now buying two copies of new leaf. Am I dreaming? What the heck best buy?! They've actually managed to run out of bundles and sold a lot of copies ( turns out my good coworker friend works here and he got them for me ) just how long has this been happening o.o anyway wow doesn't feel real, guess ill post some screenies tomorrow or something.

I'm excited xD

 

[Stevey Queen]

I hope I can still get my pre-ordered copy since everybody seems to be buying all of them early.

Wow!! How lucky....I would be searching right now, but I already have the bundle pre-ordered and I don't wanna give it up. I'm soo jealous xD

 

[astrogirl93]

I checked two walmarts near me and a Kmart, nothing. I'm debating trying another of each of those and my Best Buy tomorrow, but I just have this feeling that none of the stores near me will have it out early. Congrats to everyone who's managed to get it early, I hope you're having fun playing!!

 

[AC_Reiko]

Just hope these places selling early aren't compromising anyone's pre-orders!
