Quickie post just to share the news… on today’s Nintendo Direct video, Reggie Fils-Aime and the rest of the crew FINALLY acknowledged Animal Crossing! They discussed the game IN ENGLISH for the first time ever! It was so nice to hear about everything in a way we can understand, and not to mention the relief that it’s definitely coming to the USA. Of course they still aren’t announcing a release date, but were saying “early 2013.” They better mean January 1, dammit!! lol
Here is the link to the Nintendo Direct video: http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/archive/10-25-2012/
The Animal Crossing info comes in like 25 minutes into the video. (Yeah of course they keep making us wait lol!) The biggest news [for me] that is new to North America is the official title of the new game. It’s not AC3DS, it’s not AC: Jump Out, its…

So what’s the general census here? Do we like this title? What acronym should we use going forward? I kinda like saying “AC3DS” but maybe we should conform to the previous games and go with “AC:NL” instead. Your thoughts?
Honestly, other than it being in english and the reveal of the title, there wasn’t really any new information about the game. But it’s just so great that it’s in English!! It’s gonna be available… soon… someday… eventually!! 😀

So yeah check out the video and let me know what you think! 🙂
Very exciting! I’m OK with the name but AC3DS has a nicer ring than ACNL.
Yeah ACNL kinda seems like it’s Animal Crossing Netherlands lol
