So...Many...Stores...
All my bells!
"Museum Store"
Hmm...I wonder what we will be able to buy?
I hope The Roost makes a return as well!
I want this right now :]
I hope there's a way to transfer your character from City Folk.
Can't wait to import it from Japan this Fall! I love the idea of a Gardening Shop.
I want it now!!!!
I thought you hate Japan
I am so excited for this! Loving that they are broadening the number of stores you can visit.
My bells just dropped.
I feel that the larger number of shops is basically just the same stuff with a bit more variety in multiple locations now....glad they're changing it up though!
@Cape_Mario
Because I hate anime and jrpg games I hate Japan?
i just hope they change the landscape up a bit. i'd love them to add some more places to explore, secret areas like caves for digging for fossils.
So... we start off with a tent, or we can customize other houses starting with a tent? I would like a tent in addition to my house.
Interesting stuff. I like the idea of a gardening shop.
I just hope they remove the "damaging grass" feature that was in City Folk. It's hard to imagine something so minor could have a huge impact, but it's one of the reasons I just can't play the game like the others. You can't really explore because of it.
I hope I can actually talk to the animals for a while too...
Either way I'll probably still buy it. The streetpass possibilities are also intriguing.
@GekkouKitsune
I made paths everywhere and loved it. Sucks when you ruin random grass, but I loved having paths.
I'm hyped for this.
