Cue the wave of members to complain about a release date in this thread as well.



Still good for Japan though.

Oh I really hope Fantasy Life does well. I am hoping for a possible NA release in the near or distant future.

Me too! It honestly looks like the perfect game for me.

You go, New Leaf!

<agreement and complaint about translation/marketing>

lol, really though, way to go Japan. Keep it popular!

Glad this was mentioned, I've been watching Let's Plays of it a lot lately. I would love for it to get localized.

Add Bravely Default to that list.

I'm not surprised it's still selling well. I really do see at least a few people playing it on the train every single time I take it somewhere. Well, except for the young boys (middle school or younger). They're usually playing (insert one of the other 3DS titles that are on that list), typically Monster Hunter or Inazuma Eleven.

Hmmm just checked nintendo.com's 3DS games and though it had pokemon mystery dungeon for 3ds, New Leaf is no where to be seen. I predict we're not getting our release date till March.

EDIT: Oh sorry lol I didn't realize pokemon is coming out next month on the same day as Luigi. Sorry for speculation.

Fantasy Life is a great game, and the DLC coming will only make it even BETTER. I really hope it goes overseas!

As for ACNL being the #1 selling, that is not surprising at all. I live in a fairly small city in Japan and yet I still get a good 5 or so streetpasses per day on average, with 3+ of the past played game being ACNL. It's just everywhere. Tons of forums exist just for sharing dream addresses, item exchanges, etc...And not only that, but the appeal of the game is just so wide.

Do you know any big japanese Tobidase/Doubutsu no Mori Forums? I was hoping to find qr codes for clothes and paths and so on there.

There are TONS on the New Leaf tag on Tumblr. I have so many cute dresses saved ^^

Add Bravely Default to that list.

The worst feeling was getting your hopes up for "All The Bravest", hoping it was Bravely Default.

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT GAME. I want Bravely Default. I read an article on it and I was like "meh" then I saw the trailer and I did a complete turn-around.

I'm glad to see both Fantasy Life and New Leaf are doing so well!!
Mainly because FL seems really neat and yet no sign of it coming to other places.
