Midnight Release Party!

It's a shame for us midnight purchasers that we'll have to wait until morning to get access to the shops, but oh well.

true but you can prepare for the shops by getting items to sell for cash, water plants, talking to your villagers and more.

Hmm, good point. I'll be sure to grab lots of fruit and seashells to sell in the morning.
 
Unfortunately, I won't be downloading at midnight. I don't have a 3DS yet, so I pre-ordered the AC:NL 3DS XL with the game downloaded on it :p

I like the download because I can keep another DS game in my 3DS while I play. And I always lose games and cases. It just seems really convenient to me.
 
The reason im getting a hard copy is because i don't have enough space on my SD card and i don't really want to delete anything.....
 
I'll be downloading it, probably not at midnight because I don't want to be exhausted for school in the morning (especially since it'll be a Monday). I'll probably just download it in the morning and it'll be ready when I get home.
 
Steam and digital games on my PSP have made me comfortable enough with digital copies to prefer them on my 3DS. Even though Nintendo's account system leaves a lot to be desired, I can't live without the convenience of all of my games being a click away

I agree. And I had my PSPGo set up where I bought a couple PSP games, and it made things way more convenient. No swapping games, and no worrying about them falling out of your pocket. It's nice.


Besides, I can't tell you how many times I bumped my cartridge out of place on Wild World and ruined an hours worth of gaming.

Aw man that happened to me last night, almost threw it to the flooor in a fit of rage when I realised my old nemesis Resetti was gonna show up

I feel so bad that you have school! :( I get off...June 5th, I think, but waiting will be so much suspense! I'll ask my parents if I can download it - if I do, is it automatically saved to the 3DS, and how do you pay for it? My parents probably know but I was just wondering...I'm only 12! ;)
 
As long as there is a midnight release at GameStop, I'll join :p hahah, picking up my new xl and a physical copy for the bf. Hope they do a midnight release, see if I can meet people in rl who play :) Mine will be pre downloaded, but I do prefer physical, I just like it more, I collect games, never trade them in unless they are just so god awful xD.
 
If GAME is good to me with this order (They've never let me down in the past!) Then I might be able to join you all as I usually get my orders from them a day before release.... ;D

lol please. This will count as a holiday for me. Or maybe I'll just say that I had to miss class for religious purposes ;)

Wait why would it be Monday? New Leaf comes out midnight Sunday...
 
I'm pre-ordering the bundle off Amazon. Hopefully it will come a day early like when i pre-ordered Pokemon Black :3
 
I think they meant they'd be exhausted on a Monday, which is bad Loool.

Not quite. They were saying how they plan to download it, but not at midnight due to it being Monday and they'll have school. However, the game is released 12:00 AM Sunday, June 9, so I have no idea why they think they won't be able to play it until after school.
 
I'm going to get the hard copy of it.
I prefer it because I like having the case, pamphlet, and just the hard copy itself.
Also...if something were to happen to my 3DS (Which I highly doubt ever will. I take good care of my stuff). But let's just say if it fell by accident (or maybe even got stolen) then I won't have to worry about losing my games along with it.

Over all, it's also just a personal preference. I also prefer buying an actual book than buying a kindle/nook and downloading books.
I like holding it and having it on my shelf xD.

But I doubt I will get the game right on June 9th.
I have pre ordered games before from Game Stop (Harvest Moon) and they are usually a day or two late unfortunately.

I'll be downloading it at midnight, and start laying out my town with patterns and whatnot, so when morning comes around I'd design my path and get straight to landscaping/making bells.
I don't play online until I'm content with how my town looks.

They're thinking, as I read this, "The game comes out at 11:59pm June 9th." Not 11:59pm Saturday, so that's why.
 
Is anyone getting it at midnight over in Walmart (the 24hr ones)? I was told this is possible too.
I already have a pre-order with Gamestop, but I'm getting a second one for my niece.
