ok just played it and.....NOOOO the ds suitcase doesn't bring over the bells from the ds version or the items (it just goes into the catalog). I have to pay Tom Nook the REAL way?
so far it feels EXACTLY like playing animal crossing gc/ds for the third time. can't tell whats new yet but i always wonder why can't they add like natural disasters/burning houses or even a bicycle/scooter to go around =/ or have boats in the water or play in the beach and swim underwater to explore. o well maybe in animal crossing 10.
