I just booted up Animal Crossing: City Folk after about 5 years… it started up, I chose my name, Rover remarked how long it’s been, etc… but now my town is eternally loading and I don’t know what to do! It says "Preparing save data. Please do not touch the Power Button or RESET." and I am unable to go back to the system menu (home button does nothing). It’s been spinning for about 10 minutes now… should I power off and on again & hope for the best, or wait it out? I’d really rather not lose my town. :( Thanks!

Heh heh… so little update… I ejected the Animal Crossing disc… but Rover was still on the screen, in the "Preparing saved data." loop?? Even though the disc was out?! I even put it back in again, and the disc went in, but it didn’t spin or anything. So finally I turned the Wii off and on again, and it works just fine now! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I wish I knew why it did that though. Oh well… :] Thank you for… uh, reading I guess! :D

I'm glad everything sorted itself out. Good luck playing! Also I've come to the conclusion that the reason it wasn't working and Rover stayed on the screen is that your ACCF is possessed 💞 /jk
