Talk:Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Release Date
I think we should remove any hint towards a release date for February 2011 for the Japanese version. No where mentions it will come as a release title for the 3DS, all are just hinting it could be. Heck, some websites don't even list it for release this year, with hundreds of other titles set to come out in Feb, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Gamespot has no mention of it, GoNintendo have the game listed as "To Be Added" and official Nintendo articles don't mention it but they mention loads of other games set for release this year, with AC3DS missing from the lists. The list is endless, and with no citation added it just seems like pure speculation based on the release of the console, than the actual game itself :/

I agree. I have edited this article to show "unknown" as the release date, but it has been reverted for no valid reason. At time of writing, Animal Crossing 3DS HAS NOT been confirmed as a launch title for the 3DS, and has not been given any other release date. To Superalpaca: why did you revert my edit? do you have any evidence of a feburary release date?

 * I'll revert it back to your edit or remove the date (which ever one won't contradict other edits). It does seem to be a bit speculative.

 * Thanks, not sure if I should have done myself it as my edit had already been changed back

 * If there is anything missing you can edit it, within reason of course :)

 * I'm not sure why SuperAlpaca reverted your edit either. We don't really want any speculation on articles. Thanks for bringing this up!

 * Thanks, but still not sure if I should have re-edited it after an admin reverted it or not.

I found a website that said the release date was going to be in June. This is what I'm talking about. You have to click on Spolier --Wii maniac 20:56, 25 February 2011 (EST)
 * I remember seeing that a while back. It's interesting, but I don't think it would be appropriate to include the date shown on that paper in the article. The dates could very well be tentative - we should ideally wait until Nintendo officially announces a release date to the general public, or at least wait for something more "formal" to be announced. ~Super Hamster  Talk 22:58, 25 February 2011 (EST)


 * I think it should be added and mentioned that is it mearly a rumor or tentetive date. Super  (duh... )Alpaca Doggie Mask.gif 00:09, 26 February 2011 (EST)


 * We actually talked about this for a while in this forum topic. I've got to side with SuperHamster on this one. We shouldn't post speculation or tentative information on wiki articles. -- Ja ke  01:31, 26 February 2011 (EST)


 * As already mentioned, there's no point putting rumours in an article that's meant to be factual. If links to pages need to be added, they may as well be kept to the Talk pages. The main article page should be left for the facts. - MerrytonRyan 07:01, 26 February 2011 (EST)

This is the official Gamestop release. MarioStrikerz 09:24, 16 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Actually, I asked the people at Gamestop, and they said as of now it is going to be released May 12th, 2012. MarioStrikerz 00:43, 26 November 2011 (EST)
 * Woah, sorry for ignoring your last post! Unfortunately, neither GameStop nor its employees can be considered a reliable source of information. That date is just their best estimate, which they provide in order to convince people to reserve a copy of the game. As you can see, it's constantly changing as well. We can't actually update the article until Nintendo reveals the release date themselves, because only then will it be official. -- Ja ke  00:53, 26 November 2011 (EST)

Bug Catching Pose
Um, the bug catching pose isn't new, they had that in the Gamecube Animal Crossing.--173.17.193.34 19:49, 31 January 2012 (EST)
 * I haven't played the GameCube version of AC for years, so my memory might be off, but I think that the pose shown in the 3DS trailer is a bit altered and more realistic than in previous games. The player is facing more to one side when sneaking up to the butterfly in the trailer, for example. Minor change, but it's there. ~Super Hamster  Talk 17:52, 1 February 2012 (EST)

Release Dates
I know we've got a reference to Nintendo Power however given the no-show at this year's E3, do we still believe that we'll get a fall release?  Leem  0 1 02:43, 7 June 2012 (EDT)
