JPN/SK ACNL Software Update (Coming March 18th)

[JCnator]

So, I happen to stumble onto a recent article from a reliable Japanese website, and it seems that Nintendo will soon issue an update for Animal Crossing: New Leaf on eShop. The topic is mostly concerning for Japanese ACNL players (or those who imported a JPN 3DS and the game).

The update will not only improve the game's stability, but also fixes glitches and errors that Japanese players are (or could be) experiencing since the game's launch day.


You'd easily imagine why I'm happy to hear this, considering the ungodly amount of crashes I went through. No more worrying about them while I'm playing it.

EDIT: Korea will also receive the update.

If this fixes the random bouts of saved data corrupting, I will be very happy.

Yes, save data corruption can happen with all games, but it seems to be more common in AC:NL.

But, if it fixed the duplication glitch that'd be kinda annoying.

Well, this is really great news. Hopefully everything is fixed by the time of NA and EU releases, is it fixed in the Korean version?

There is a Korean update coming too.

Good news! I hope this fixes things for you at last.

 

[aikatears]

cool, here's hoping we will not need any type of update for NA/EU.

It would depend on what phase the game is in.

I would really hate if the Update does more harm than good. I hear that a lot with games.

I'm VERY glad to see this. This means the rest of the regions getting the game won't be glitchy. Hopefully the patch will come built-in to the NA/EU/AUS versions.

 

[oath2order]

Well, at least these bugs will already be fixed in the NA/EU versions.

No, it really wouldnt, i hope they fix the glitch so that way people cant ruin the trading aspect of the game

 

[Gurgi]

I'm just happy that they are able to now update software. Nintendo has been a bit behind with that, although their games are usually more stable than most, so it hasn't been a huge issue before. Anyway, I'm happy that AC can get updated like this, especially as people find bugs and exploits that could break the game.

 

[oath2order]

Fix ALL the glitches!

 

[Pudge]

Although I don't own the JPN game, this is good news to hear for people who do.

But, 7/11 items and unorderable DLC would benefit from that glitch- I would love to own those things.

It's so much more fun to work for those items though, they would be such hot, valuable items in AC.

 

[JimmyJacobAC]

Then it would be unfair for us while those random Japanese players who visited 7/11 would become filthy rich. I'd be okay if we had our own exclusives though, but knowing Nintendo, Japan will probably get any of the stuff we get.

And it'd be unfair to them if other countries got exclusives items and became rich off of those.
Bells are very easy to make NL. It'll be good to have some items be expensive and hard to obtain if the duping glitch gets fixed.

 

[Superpenguin]

I'd give millions of bells for those 7-11 items, but if duping isn't fixed, then I'd only give like two.
