Nintendo just held a 47 minute Nintendo Direct for the Japanese release later this year. The game is out 2013 in the rest of the world, sadly.

These are the details:

- Talking about the game, being mayor, building house, no firm goals.

- Eguchi, producer. Going to talk to devs.

-The man and woman were the game's directors, the other woman is a planner.

- Flowers will sparkle depending off if they've been watered.

- Can design roads - they added the character for 'road'. There's a camping ground, sometimes there'll be campers - villagers who don't live in your village.

- Villagers and visitors can buy items in the recycle shop.

- There's a pot plant and the other is a music album.

- The bench and clock were stuff she placed as mayor.

- When you sit in the mayor's seat, Shizue will come up and talk to you.

- Once you've decided what to build, go with Shizue to decide where. Then they'll show you what it will look like. Donations from villagers begin.

- Don't have to go back to mayor's office once building is placed.

- Can donate yourself.

- New item: megaphone. Can say a villagers names to get their attention by speaking their name into the 3DS microphone.

- The tanooki brothers will take turns each day to service the shop.

- Halloween goods sold because it's October.

- Different types of shoes, boots and socks.

- 2nd floor is the museum shop. The four doors lead to special exhibitions. You can set the special exhibitions yourself. Hawaiian Expo, Sushi expo.

- Tanooki Housing Real Estate. Buy parts for your houses outside.

- Can decide if you want to increase room numbers and where (1st flow left, right, 2nd floor etc)

- Shisho, comedian. Started a comedy club, Club 444. Can watch his comedy shows. He has spoken dialogue during this. Can decide your reaction.

- Take photos of your expression with good timing for best result in the photo booth. Many reactions/emotions to collect.

- This is the design leader, Takahashi.

- Talking about new items.

- Can alter designs at R. Parker's

- The redesign takes 30 minutes in this instance. Changed the design and wood.

- Can create your own designs

- Entire house of Tom Nooks if you want!

- Can turn designs into QR codes.

- Model Homes now. People met through Streetpass. These are the people she's streetpassed with. Sometimes they will give you things, like ice-creams, balloons, and pin wheels.

- Up to 48 houses in three block, 16 homes per block.

- Can see with the map where the houses are using people's names.

- Toilets & urinals!! Mario stars, shells, & mushrooms!

- The woman to the left of Eguchi drew that apple as her 'Own Design' in the game.

- You can go to visit some people's villages that you've street-passed with. It's a 'dream'.

- Allows you to see how other people have set up their towns. When you have an internet connection, if someone you've street passed with has a Village number, (can search by name too) you can go into a new shop and visit their village. You can do stuff like cut trees and get fruit, but it doesn't affect their village.

- You can alter the look of City Hall, too.

- This is the sound director.

- This is the early morning theme. Second, the morning theme. Daytime theme now. Evening theme. Sky has changed color too and there's a diesel train running. And now the night theme. And now the late night theme.

- K. K. Slider, Saturday night live performances at the new Shisho's Club 444. Now for a new song. Shisho is dancing to the beat!

- DJ K.K. (K.K. Slider under a different name) performs on nights other than Saturday at the comedy club. 'House Nights' Includes NES Nights. 'Famicon Nights'.

- Can listen to the music on audio players in your house, like gramophones.

- Lots of new songs.

- Islands! The four of them are going to the island. Going by boat. A motor boat, headed by Kapp'n!

- A new song for the ride, too.

- Can get swimming suits the first time here, wearing it you can go swimming.

- Can dive for coral! Sometimes there'll be jellyfish.

- Find summer fish and bugs all year round here.

- Can trade medals got in mini games on the island to trade for the goods in the souvenir shop.

- Games are focused on Co-op.

- Tortimer appears as the Tour Guide, explains the games

- Each person has to search for their own type of fruits; mangoes, persimmons, etc.

- The faster you are the more medals you get.

- Can pick up fruits and drop them for other players in easier locations.

- This is 'Hammer', hit the little electric car.

- And that's it from the team - thanks to the staff.

- Iwata reconfirms download version; same as the retail version. Mentions the benefit of download versions.

- Official Animal Crossing twitter @doubutsuno_mori , will reveal new characters and items.

THE END!

These are the things I picked up on whilst watching it (video was all in japanese)

  • Bridge opening parties
  • Hedges, seriously, not just flowers, hedges
  • Exterior house differences. Not just the inside of your house anymore, you can get like japanese castles, tent looking houses and more
  • Shaders on the water. Droooooool
  • New store, with sheep? So many stores.
  • Park benches, to sit on
  • You are the mayor, so there is a management aspect
  • You can plant a gyroid like a tree and fence it off
  • Train station with shopping park beyond!
  • SO many shops including a shoe store
  • A gyroid museum room?
  • A japanese museum fish tank room? Not aquarium, that is separate
  • Holy crap! Nook has a deluxe item store for massive items like a DIY funland, mostly exterior items like a garden centre
  • Underground comedy club for that unfunny pink guy
  • The music in the interior decorating store is great
  • Wow, you can apply your designs across everything, not just walls and floors, but tablecloths, sofa furnishings and more
  • Wow, massive exterior lot for choosing your exterior house design
  • An apple art studio? Grinning
  • Camping tent as a house or for actual camping outside?
  • A Bamboo grove?! A Bamboo grove!
  • DJ K.K has a disco? Like a rave! Everyone dances too! GOTY
  • Boat to a tropical island
  • laugh
  • Swim, dive
  • Tropical store with kappa like people and surf gear
  • Tortimer has retired to the island, he wears a hawaiian shirt lol
  • There are more multiplayer games: Maze chase game?
  • Hammer attack game? Hit each other with massive hammers

So awesome.

More info from before:

Animal Crossing 3DS includes new features such as a garden centre, a fresh peek at the game has revealed.




Other improvements include a larger museum, replete with a new exhibition room and gift shop.




The garden centre is run by a sloth. He stocks bags of flower seeds and tree seedlings, Famitsu reports presumably to plant around your town.




It's another reminder of the game's emphasis on crafting your surroundings according to your whims. Now as mayor, you'll be able to place lampposts, benches and the like.




You can also help Tom Nook with his new raccoon housing project, turning a simple canvas tent into a customisable mansion.




There will be extra fish and fossils to find, and more furniture will available to buy - including a mermaid range.

Nekkid. With fluroscent tubes around our groins.

Look at this art from the website.

If Nintendo ever manages to make an animal crossing game that looks as good as that artwork I am going to give up gaming and just play that for the rest of my life.




That's it for me.

What does this even mean?

I'm not in on the joke.

I made a typo on the thread title "It begins here, bring your bells". E instead of A. cheeky

This game is potentially very dangerous for me.  I went through bad addictions with both Wild World and City Folk, with many hundreds of hours of my life down the drain.

... That DJ KK is one groovy cat ... I mean dog ... though

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

I wish I could get at least a little excited for it. City Folk killed the series for me. Sad
