Don't forget the likes of Game Guardian for tinkering with locally processed values.
Of course, I still prefer a real controller and self-contained experience...wonder if these will be released on the eShop, as well, like Pokemon Shuffle was.
Actually, that's a perfect use. You get a certain allotment of Bells for doing stuff in-game, but if you're impatient you can buy them with real life money based on a fluctuating $ -> ★ conversionyeah perfect for micro$ you want that chair and table in the furniture store? get your wallet out! than we got your starter packs which contains 100 of everything or the gamers pack which contains 500 of everything for real moniez.
which takes 1 real day to get 1 bellYou get a certain allotment of Bells for doing stuff in-game
i replied to a miitomo thread a while ago, saying that i would have preferred animal crossing instead. a fully functional animal crossing game of course, not a facebook/twitter add-on like miitomo.I can see Animal Crossing being an "earn it or buy it" or a strictly "buy it" model.
The game works like every other Animal Crossing in that the store stock rotates and changes and you can find random stuff, but there'll be a real money store where you can buy whatever you want. Or you can buy in-game currency (Bells or maybe even DLC-exclusive currency).
Alternatively, it could go the Sims route and have a nice, built-in set of stuff, but with tons and tons of extras you can buy for real money. I'd like to think that the game will be perfectly playable for free, preying on the wallets of "collectors", "completionists", and the impatient for its profits.
