When I started up the game today, Pete handed me a letter from Nintendo. It was a fan letter! In a way. Now through May 23rd, the general’s fan is available as a download at Nintendo Zone locations. It’s an item that was previously only available in the Japanese version of the game.
I made sure to pick up my general’s fan at the post office.
I still wasn’t sure exactly what the item was, so I headed to the Emporium to look at it in the catalog. Unfortunately, it’s not a fan that you can hold in your hand–it’s a furniture item, and an odd one at that. On the bright side, it can be ordered from the catalog for just 1,600 bells.
I put it in my house to see if it did anything, but no luck. It’s just for decoration.
Back in Town…
I met up with Daisy, and she offered to sell me a sand dollar! It’s not very often villagers will give you seashells.
Aurora asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I had ten minutes to find two penguins and a duck.
Sprinkle was the first bird I found, with a horrible hiding spot “behind” the Sphinx. In reality, she was completely visible.
And yet she thought her hiding place was perfect! Perhaps she had a brain freeze.
I then found Molly hiding behind Daisy’s house and Aurora was hiding behind a tree near the fountain.
Aurora gave me a CD shelf for finding them all before time ran out.
Later, Merka came over for a short visit and then I also went to her town for a while. I sold a bunch of perfect peaches and then we headed out for the island. When I told Kapp’n not to sing, he called me a shanty hater!
We went on a bunch of advanced price-fishing tours, earning gold Tortimer awards every time except once. (The one time we failed, we missed by gold by only 125 bells). But we racked up a bunch of medals.
Once we reached the threshold for gold Tortimer awards, we got axes from Lloid the gyroid and started cutting down trees.
I don’t think I’ve ever gone on as many consecutive tours as we did tonight. I wasn’t keeping track of how many medals we earned…so if you asked me for the exact number, I would be stumped.
