First Part of English Translation-

Thought I would share the music with you all:

They sure are taking their time with this game

It'll be worth the wait though, I'm sure.

And they better make good use of the time...
I'm sure this game will be awesome. I've never owned an AC game before, but I have always been intrigued by the series. I do plan on picking this up.

I hope so too! It's been in development for an awful long time. If it gets delayed in NA again, it will be the 2nd or 3rd time that it's delayed. Which is an awful lot for one game.
@Sam Thanks! I tried to get all the information I could, i'll probably do another information sweep tonight,

This is the game I'm most looking forward too. I like it because it's an open ended game. Obviously that's not the only reason though! I LOVE the series. I can't wait to be mayor! To think that I'll be able to catch fish and bugs and collect fossils and go shopping and swim and improve my town, NAME my town, boss people around, go to other peoples towns, collects fruit, oh the joys

haha ikr? My sister really wants to kick nook out of town. I wonder, if since we're all mayors, if we will be able to kick people out....

This little bit of info has got me wanting the game so badly....http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/08/08/animal-crossing-3ds-adds-rooftops-gardening-store. I like the idea that your starting home is a tent.

Yes! perhaps this should be our first topic...what we think of the gardening store, sloth, and city. Those were seen in a screenshot...

In my opinion, I thought the gardening store was a great addition to the game, you can buy the watering can, and all the seeds and saplings in the game, hopefully, with the addition of some new flowers. I did think they could've done a little bit better on the sloth though...(seen in the corner http://www.3dsgamenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/more-scans-for-animal-crossing-jump-out.jpg) He kinda looks like a clown...but, The city looks great with the return of the post office!

That's an awesome little reference on the boy's t-shirt! (In that picture)

I honestly cannot wait for this game.
--- merged ---

Is it just me, or does that fox with the hat above Tom Nook look a little shady? Kind of a sketchy looking character..... hope I don't meet him in a dark ally. (The new Redd maybe??)

That's not a fox It's a skunk named kicks, he sells you shoes! Honestly, he's one of my favorite characters!

wait a sec! there is only one working on nooks cranny, where is timmy or where is tommy? :S
P.s AC : 3DS RULES

There definitely seems to be more shops in this game. I wonder if Gracie Grace's store is still around? With her expensive clothes and furniture! The amount of features that are in this game is amazing too.

I have to wonder too... There's been so many new stores added, you've got to wonder. I wonder if the HRA is still there...

Im trying to add friends to my 3ds friends list ready for when animal crossing is released. So whoevers getting animal crossing and wants a friend ready inbox me and add me

Has Japan been given a release date or is it still in the fall?

According to Wikipedia it's November 2012, I hope that helps

It could be? Nintendo haven't released much info. on what shops from previous games will be returning though. I hope the salon is still there! I loved the salon on AC:WW because it was inside Tom Nooks shops and was convenient. I liked the Mable Sisters store too. Lets just hope Nintendo release some more info. on the game itself or about the release date!
