Physical or Digital Copy?

[JCnator]

Mint: I'm totally going to get a physical copy now, too. I'm scare to take my SD card out!

I highly recommend you turn your 3DS into off before taking the SD card out. That way, it helps you to avoid potential data corruption. That's how I uploaded many pictures on the Internet and didn't got my town corrupted yet. Even though that there's an ID system that prevents you from having multiple towns, it's still a good idea to copy your SD card's content to your computer in case your SD card fails to read after the process.

Is there anyway to prevent corruption of your game? My CF game corrupted once but I hacked so that might be a different story. Because on release-eve of the game I'll be up waiting till 12 to download it digitally.

That my plan, still getting download verion due to already have the funds in the eshop.

Starting the game at night time sounds terrible. I'd rather start the game when it is bright out.

I probably won't play, I'll go to sleep once it's downloaded but I don't want to have to wait when I wake up.

Most of the times, you'll never know when a data corruption will occur. But, the less glitchy is the game, the less likely it'll be corrupted. If you properly take care of your materials, then it'll happen less often, too.

If a corruption ever happen on a physical copy of the game, then chances that the game card will be bricked. If a digital copy's data ever get corrupted, you can simply delete it and redownload the game free of charge, contrary to the physical one.

I wanna get the physical copy but what if the physical copy sold out in the US? How would it ship to my country UAE?! (Middle East gets the US region)

I wouldn't be able to let it finish downloading and then just go to sleep. I would HAVE to play it as soon as possible.. However, there's no way I'm just going to go to sleep and not download it when it releases.. I take that back, I will still probably play when the game comes out at midnight. I wish it didn't come out at midnight though.

I know, but Im still debating because nothing will be open and it will be kinda crappy but the temptation not to play is gonna be hard.

I get the shops be closed if you play at midnight but there still things to do. My plan is to record the becoming the mayor part, then getting my free watering can,collect fruit shells and beehives to sell in the morning as well as start my beach garden for new flowers. Plus anything else i can find before sleeping.
That should give a good hour or two.

How do you get the free watering can, again? I forgot. And dont you need a net to catch the bees? Where are you gonna get that from?

Yes, but then when I get started in the day I don't want to have nothing to do..

The pa in the town hall will give one, and just going to get the bee hives they cost 500 bells.

Got that plan too, will wake up around the time the shops open to sell my items to either buy tools or get my house. (Might get the tools first)

Got the error screen of doom again, and I know for a fact this time, that I saved properly. Not once had the SD card been removed while I had this town (since I wasn't that far).

I'm thinking either the actual SD card is messed up or it's because I didn't delete and redownload the game (which I'm doing now).

No more digital for me.

I'll try that. I upgraded to a bigger SD card for NL, but that wasn't a good idea. :x

I'm gonna download it so I can play it whenever I want. I just need to replace the stock 2gb sdcard with something bigger, considering that the download is about 5k blocks. ha

 

[Tapa]

Honestly, I think I'll buy a bigger SD card and download it unless the game comes with a pre-order bonus. I'll play the game so often that I might as well. The case and manual will be missed.

wait so 2gb isnt enough to download the game?

It is enough, I'm using a 2GB card now.
But if you plan on downloading other games, it may be a good idea to upgrade so you will have plenty of room.
