Hmmmm I had my town on tag mode for a hour now and nothing. I think I'm going to leave it on all night to see if something happens.

Well, the wireless router still isn't up yet.

I did, however, find an e-reader sitting in a back corner of the store today, so I'm going to get some e-cards for the GC version.

Tag mode will only connect with somebody if you happen to come in range of someone else in Tag mode, walking down the street for instance. Something I'll probably never use.

I made a second character, but stopped there. The reason I asked if you tried more is because I read an unconfirmed post on another site that K.K. only gave out two songs.

Town's open now.

Here's a link to the pattern maker I was talking about via in-game chat. It's from the same site that had the Mario Kart DS decal maker:

I've got a nice DVD Talk pattern in my town, so you'll have to come visit to check it out.

I'll looking to visit someone's town today! By the way, It's my birthday, and Animal Crossing game me a Birthday Cake!

ahhhh so it is like that bark mode for nintendogs. Well that's crappy I thought it would work over the internet then in might be useful. I guess the wee ones that take thier gameboy to school to be stolen might have use for this feature.

hmmm How old is the original gameboy? I think someone stole my gameboy and there was this big thing with our parents. Got it back though. Damn I'm old.

Oh I see, after you upload the pick you want you go in and match it up by hand. I was trying to figure out how the heck you download to the DS.

The gates of Hell are now Closed. Bring bells or presents or else you might never leave.

Gates opened at: 2:57 pm pst
Gates close at: 5:02 pm pst


Wow visters. Fun times, fun times. All are welcome in Hell especially if you wear hoods according to one guest. Ha ha ha.

Yeah, it's a little tedious, but the end result is nice. Especially if you use a photograph, since 90% of the image must be inputted a pixel at a time. The one I did took about an hour of poking at the tiny squares in the pattern designer. It would've been nice if a feature to zoom in on one quadrant was included.

Wow everyone is in hell right now.

that sounds so wrong but fun at the same time.

Man, the digging holes around Baron while he was away from his DS and leaving him stuck there for awhile sounded pretty funny. I guess I left town too soon. Very mean, I will make sure to have a shovel with me at all times when my town is open.

Good times, good times. In Hell, Scott buried in the Baron behind the museum. We found him just standing there and since he didn't have a shovel he was stuck. So funny!!! I'll try to open my town tomorrow night. Nook is closed for his second remodel today so it would be pointless tonight. I'll visit another town though but later, my DS needs to charge.

Hehe, it was only for 15 seconds or so, but the point was made. It was pretty hilarious to see him spin around in that one square.

I've never played AC before, so to me, this thread reads like some sort of messed up acid trip. Would any of you guys mind summing up AC DS in just a few words? I've been thinking about buying it, mainly because of the WFC ability, but I'm not totally sure I "get it". Would it be fair to describe it as Nintendo's version of The Sims?

I finally got my wireless router set up. I opened my gates for a bit, although I don't know how long I will keep them open tonight, since I picked up Ultimate Spider-Man and Lost In Blue today and am interested in checking them out.

That would be an accurate way to describe it. Although there is less to do and much more addictive IMO.

IGN has a load of videos of what you can expect to find.

This post is a message to all of you other obsessive compulsive Animal Crossing collectors/completionists who can get online via wifi. Every day, I clean out every item in the stores that is not yet in my catalog, even if I don't want/need it, just so it'll be in my catalog. If there are others like me, we can speed up the collecting process by helping each other out.

I was thinking we could meet online in somebody's town once a day to temporarily swap items. Each of us would drop all of the new items of the day onto the ground, then we'd take turns going around and picking the items up then dropping them again. Even though the items will be in your inventory for a minute, they'll still be added to your catalog. When it's over, everybody picks up what they brought and goes about their business.

Let me know if you're interested so we can schedule a meeting.

I don't think I saw this posted but I can't place any items upstairs - will this option be available in future upgrades?
Last night I was able to connect with someone online (thanks Princess T) and left some cherries and got some pears. I haven't seen any of the other characters around yet (Redd, the walrus, lyle,) but hopefully they will appear soon.
I'm pretty bummed abou the lack of holiday events (no christmas, thanksgiving or halloween) was there a reason these were taken out? I enjoyed trying to collect the furniture and other items in the GC version

Knee-slappin’ Nintendo uses Animal Crossing to sneak a barb in at Record Industry. This can be seen by listening to K.K. Slider’s song in the basement of the museum. After listening to the entire song, you’ll get a copy of that song. The quoted dialogue above then takes place. Any idea about how Nintendo’s opinion on downloading Mario for free?



I don't have a DS yet, but I plan to get one in the near future. Is there any word of an Animal Crossing DS bundle? If not, I will probably get the Mario Kart DS bundle. The red is a pretty cool color.

No, you can't place anything in the "attic" since that's the game's version of a character selection/options menu. There are several additions to the house that should meet your needs, but I don't want to spoil any of the details. I've seen some scans online, but I can't remember where.

I also see that Circuit City has Animal Crossing on sale for $29.99 ($5 off) this week.
