Could someone with the game try this? Hopefully it was just a one-time thing and not something that will be abused by a lot of people like CF's duplicating glitch.

OMG please... I so hoped that they fixed the problem. I hated all this cheating. It makes everything so pointless and easy to get...
 
Wow, I never would have known about this since I don't put down pattern stuff.

I don't cheat though, so the glitch will never be abused by me! :)
 
I have visitors at the moment. I can try it out later. :eek:
 
Didn't they patch that course in Mario Kart 7 though? I imagine they will do the same here.
 
I don't get it either, but I have patterns on the ground.

I don't think that this glitch is most likely triggered at random; the fact that the same player rebooted the game later on is an evidence that the potential glitch can be triggered manually. The way they laid out patterns, empty tiles and trees probably caused this to happen. Seems like it's a glitch that many will exploit until a patch comes out. It took a while for a patch of Mario Kart 7 to arrive worldwide, so the one for AC:NL will also take some time to be done.

I remember that I somehow managed to temporairly rid of my chat menu icon on my bottom screen while fishing on a friend's town, and then came back after I switched menus. Again, that's triggered randomly.

That's what I was thinking. He purposely put tiles everywhere so that those gyroids would spawn only in small specific places. But how is that even possible? Why would they keep overlapping at same dig site? To me that just looks like a stupid mistake from Nintendo. I also find it funny that the cherry on the floor teleports at 0:44. Although that might have just been lag.

I pray to God they patch this because cheating ruined Wild World for me. I remember back (4-5 years ago) I invited some random guy from YouTube into my town. The first thing he starts doing, is spawning massive amounts of gold bags on the floor with his Action Replay kit. At first I thought it was cool because I was rich. But then the game got boring fast because there was nothing left to do.

Now I understand Action Replay Hack-cheating and Glitch-cheating are two different things. But the problem is anyone could do this. So I hope Nintendo patches this ASAP or this will just be another Wild World cheatfest. :(
 
I don't think Nintendo will patch this. I hope they will but I'm not sure they would care that much. If people want to ruin their experience by cheating then let them, I won't be using the glitch.
 
I've watched this over and over and I just don't get how it works!
I really hope it get's fixed, as determined as I am now not to go to any giveaways or duplicate stuff, I'm weak when it comes to things like this and it was one of the many things that ruined CF for me.
 
I can't seem to get it to work?
I have an empty space with tiles around it, but the item (money bag) I keep burying and digging up is not duplicating.

I will leave the patterns there and if anything spawns in the middle I will see if I run into that problem.
 
Well if it doesn't get fixed and people figure out how to do it, we should all join some sort of elitist club that refuses to play the game with anyone who uses it.

Do you have tiles everywhere in your town? If you look at the end of his video, he has them everywhere. Literally. So I think the game could only generate the gyroid-dig spots in small areas (like he did in his video).

No, I don't.

That's not something I want to do. D: Making a path with those tiles took forever.
Covering the entire town would take a long time to do.

I don't think covering the town would do much anyway. In the video, he couldn't erase the tiles either and I would have to trigger that somehow.
 
Wow lol game's only been out for what 4 days and lol

anyway, if it is a glitch, nintendo will probably send out a patch like they did with MK7 so i'm not worrying

Yeah I noticed that too. Thats pretty weird. He can keep digging up the same spot, but he can't cover up holes or destroy the tiles. Maybe hes hacking :eek:
