I always name mine Hyrule because I am a dork like that. I might switch it up though, see what I am feeling when I get the game. Which will be the midnight download.
I haven't played Animal Crossing since the gamecube days. I'm quite excited for this. I think I'll go with a digital purchase, just so I can have it on the machine whenever I want.

I think it's about 1gig, so make sure you have room for it. I too will get the download because I realized after downloading a few games, having quick access to them without the carts is nice. Most of my 3DS games are download now, and having access to them at midnight is really awesome.
So I'm trying to get into this right now, not sure what to think yet.
Mostly, because I'm making slow progress and many features just aren't available yet. But I can confirm that the crosstown communication works great, I really cannot wait until everyone has the game, it will be fun! It's the first Nintendo game I've ever played, that had anything close to solid online integration.

Im supposed to review the game, though for the first time I wonder if I'm the right man. Looking into City Folk I see a lot of loud complaints that the game is always the same and everything is recycled. So as far as I can tell, most things still pretty much look the same, so I don't know if I can actually judge this at all.

Animal Crossings main formula doesn't change much, they just add new features and items. Kinda what I like about it. I know what game I am getting.
It's a day-to-day game, not something you're supposed to sit down and play 10 hours a day like most games. You get a full appreciation for AC over the course of an entire real-time year, so I imagine it's going to be difficult to review outside of that.
This looks good. I'm even considering the 3DSXL bundle since I'm still using the original 3DS.
It's really not a bad idea. The 3DSXL is so much better than the standard 3DS if you ask me. They still don't have textured circlepads..*sigh* but it's really awesome. The screen quality is great and they did a reallyh good job with it.
I am considering picking up a cartridge version of it because I am broke and I can do trade-ins right now at Gamestop.. I don't want to, but I can get 28 bucks for Monster Hunter and if I throw in some random other game I don't play, i'll be able to get it without paying. Need to find out if they are doing any midnight releases.
I also apparently need a copy of Pokemon Heart Gold because starting with Black 2 is apparently a terrible idea but that's a whole other thing.
It's not a bad place to start. You can go back and forth pretty well between gen 4 and 5. Well you can't trade backwards or anything but playing B2 won't negate anything before or after.
gen 5's mechanics far outweigh the odd awesome crap that always seems to be misplaced transferring between the revisions/remakes and the next versions.
You've got what, three weeks of saving ahead of you to get an XL? If you need all the money then you're going to need to pick up some hours, sell some stuff, find a minor odd job, or cut 250ish dollars out of your budget, which depending on your situation is either easy with some sacrifice or impossible.
If you had another week or two you could try crowd funding it.
City Folk was such a guilty pleasure. Sadly though, my 3DS has really sat dormant for awhile otherwise the bundle would be a no brainer. Still, it'd be something to do on my lunch break. Ha.
I'll probably be getting this as part of the "buy three, get one for free" promo Nintendo is running. I've only briefly played the one on the DS, other than that I'm a total AC noob. Is there anything I should know beforehand, i.e. can I irreversibly screw up somehow? Or should I just go in blind?
@HallowedFaith I just tried to register you as a friend, but it's telling me the friend code is incorrect.
I'm really excited for this game too. My daughter is set to be born around June 20th and this seems like it would be the perfect game to play for 10-20 minutes at a time while she's sleeping/resting/preparing for another 1.5 hours of crying and screaming.

Henroid you bastard. My tree gardens are usually my pride and joy.
The 3DS XL bundle will be my first exposure to actually having a 3DS of any sort. I was just sort of waiting for an XL that I liked the look of, and while the AC one isn't perfect, I -really want- AC even though I worry that I'm going to get bored with it after 'beating' it. (Generally when you paid everything off in previous games)
Is it confirmed that we can force all the shops to be open 24/7? Because that would be -awesome- and actually give incentive to play the game at night if you forget to during the day.

Shop Hours and Town Ordinances
There is only one shop open 24-7 and that is the Dream Suite shop, the rest can have their hours extended but I am not aware of anyway to force them open 24/7. You can use Town Ordinances to extend the shop times:
Well I'm quickly losing interest in this. The fact that I can't play during the night (3 hours later is still nothing) is a complete dealbreaker, which is a shame.

You can safely buy it in the last week of june as you have over ten days to register it.
So hyped.

I also apparently need a copy of Pokemon Heart Gold because starting with Black 2 is apparently a terrible idea but that's a whole other thing.
I'm currently trying to figure out how I could afford an XL for New Leaf.

Except they end up removing just as much as they add and yet it all still feels the same.
