Official Nintendo Magazine Animal Crossing 3DS Article

[MikeyBreeze]

Hey guys! I bought the new ONM issue today, and I've scanned in the page of the Animal Crossing article so that those whom aren't planning on buying the issue can also have a look!

Just a warning to everyone that will be buying the Official Nintendo Magazine today, it has gone up to ?4.50 from ?3.99.

Evidence: I purchased it today from a Sainsbury's supermarket.

This is the second time I've read someone claim that the tents "appear to be houses" or something like that. Yet no one mentioned the tents from the Gamecube game, which were just for visitors. It seems like a lot of people in the videogame media don't actually play the videogames.

This article is nothing we don't know though. Apparently they just wrote about the trailer.

I know exactly what you mean, whenever I read people claiming the tents to be houses it gets me down a tad, it seems that nobody actually remembers that they aren't for the player, and just because the player is seen exiting through one, doesn't mean it's their house.. and, to be honest with them, a house is seen in the trailer with the traditional letter box from a players house but I don't see them picking up on that at all. They should get actual fans to write reviews on these games, not just people who are paid to watch the trailer and spout out the same information we all know.

Totally agreed. They know nothing. Plus, it looks like it's Summertime.
But, there is also a mailbox, so we might actually end up living in them. But I liked the campers in ACGC

It could be that you start the game in a tent and then as you make more money, you will be able to remove your tent and have a house built and as you progress in the game, your house becomes a really nice mansion IF they bring them back...

Nintendo probably did that to make you think you'll live in a tent.. They're very picky with what they show us -.-

I know, the tent does have a mail box which is why they probably think it is the players house, but it has the blue mail flag up and isn't making a noise. So like you said (or something like this) the tent was when visitors came in the GC version (I never played it so I don't know).

But You're theory sounds more plausible.

The sad thing about this article is that in the issue before this, ONM promised to discuss the possibilities of Spot&Streetpass in relation to AC.. yet none is anywhere.

Call me dumb, but I've actually never looked at that little box outside the tent as a mailbox, I always saw it as a more name-box, as in what the animals' have outside their houses.. hmm.

Just re-watched the trailer, I completely see what you mean..

I have no idea what to think, personally: I'd love to live in a tent. I was always slightly jealous of the ACGC summer campers who managed to live in a tent. Maybe there's a festival where all your villagers live in tents for a weekend? Or maybe you can set up a little tent in a friends town? *I know that last idea is really far'fetched but I don't see why AC would have a MAYOR living in a tent*

Either way, this discovery possibly has made me even more excited, Nintendo must really be going all-out on the pitstops here, and even if we have to wait till 2012, I can't wait to see where this idea takes us!

ALSO, hopefully we'll have another AC3DS video leaked to us this month, as the creator did say that they were making another video preview to show us 'very soon'.

Roll on, AC3DS!

The release is Spring 2012. I'm guessing early spring. We probably wont get another trailer until... I'm hoping September/October, but I doubt it. I'm gonna say November/December.

 

[hazelmemory]

[Equestrian]

agreed.

 

[Internetakias]

I can wait until spring and besides, who wants a rushed game? About the tents, maybe when you arive at your town your house isn't builded yet, so you have to live in a tent for the time being until Nook(?) finishes building your house.

 

[ShinyYoshi]

I really want the tents/igloos to be back from the GC version, where people who don't live in your town come to stay awhile. But, I hope you can do more than just play a select few games with them

 

[jazmijnn]

Omg spring 2012 , I WANT IT NOW :3

 

[Jake]

buy a japanese 3DS, then when AC3DS is released you import it and you will get it 3ish months earlier.

 

[JasonBurrows]

Off Topic, kinda...
I still can't believe that it went up to ?4.50, I was there right at the till and I almost felt like a weirdo not having enough money, but my friend was there and he lent me the extra 50p, I went to the store with the usual price of ?3.99 on my mind.

 

[jazmijnn]

I don't have the money to buy a japanese ds.
Omg I'm so exited , finaly a new animal crossing <3.

Just on the subject of magazines, who here got the Sonic 20th Anniversary magazine from Games Master?
I got one from eBay that I can read as the packaging was badly damaged and I got one my local WH Smiths store to keep in new and sealed condition with just a few small creases, but much better than one that had a rip in the packaging.
