On a date some days after the update, he will shout to you, then you walk random in town, he shouts more often until you're next to his lamp, then it appears

 

[RemixDeluxe]

Are you suppose to update the game from the eShop or the game's title screen?

I don't think I've ever used that option once and I don't know why it exists.

Wow, oh boy! Lots of minor $15 Figurine Locked Content!

tfw the only (good) save editor and ntr plugin for new leaf will be incompatible and most likely have to be rewritten from scratch, in which the creators will probably give up on, making the editor and plugin useless

Nope, they will rewrite it, as announced

JKSM does work with the update, but there is no save data editor to edit the garden_plus.dat file.
Hopefully the update comes out soon and hopefully the update also adds in the ability to modify how many of those new MEOW things you have.

I meant this thing: http://www.marcrobledo.com/apps/acnl-editor/ (unless if you want to manually change in-game values yourself, go straight ahead).

Yeah, you're right. It just might take a while (which is completely understandable).

 

[TehCupcakes]

I saw "Nintendo Direct: ... Animal Crossing" and got really excited!

Then see it's not a new game, just updates to New Leaf.

*sad again* (Not a 3DS owner)

 

[KamiNoRyu619]

what impact will this have on the hacking side?? thatswhat we want to know

 

[Pluupy]

Wow this is actually a pretty significant update for the game. I'm impressed.

They've effectively given the game an actual New Game+.

 

[CeeDee]

So what new crossover villagers are in the update, specifically? Any Yoshi, Pokemon, something other than Zelda and Splatoon?
