Jeff's New Leaf Blog

The January fishing tournament was held this past weekend. Even though I didn’t participate, I did attend the winners’ ceremony. Bob was the big winner, while Agent S got 2nd place and Big Top finished in 3rd.

Able Sisters had a blue flannel shirt on sale, so I decided to buy it and wear it for a while.

Lily needed some assistance with a cherry, so I gladly gave her what she wanted.

She was quite satisfied, and she rewarded me with a saddle fence.

I found Bob taking a catnap while sitting on the metal bench in town. I let the little guy sleep, but I still joined him on the bench for a moment.

After depositing some money into my bank account, my balance reached 89 million bells. My balance will grow even more once furniture becomes the premium item at Re-Tail. I have about 45 pieces of ice furniture assets that I’d like to liquefy.

I played some more Desert Island Escape tonight, and I tried out a new trio of islanders: Maddie, Molly, and Lily. (My usual group is Goldie, Stitches, and Rosie). Maddie is a dog like Goldie, so she had the same “sniff ’em out” ability that I can’t do without. Molly is “soft-footed,” which helps her to evade fights and get away safely, while Lily is a swimmer that can move farther through shallow water (but not far on land).

I completed level 10 with this group, but I think I’ll go back to my usual trio next time. Anyway, I have now completed all of the beginner maps. I’ll move on to the intermediate levels the next time I play.

My recent dream visitors have been Karen from Pactopia, Gonzalo from Orléans, Henry from H Town 3, Alex from Fourside, Memeowfu from Catnip, and Cloud from Lorulia. Thanks for stopping by!

I took my New Leaf villagers to the park recently, and my frogs felt right at home near the water.

Molly was there too, and she hopped into the lake for a quick swim. Well, maybe it was just a waddle.

I took those pictures with the Amiibo Camera in New Leaf, of course.

Yesterday, Jingle’s RV was over at the drive-in campground, so I went inside to check it out. Not surprisingly, he has some festive decorations, including some Christmas presents that haven’t been opened yet! How about giving me an NES Classic, Jingle?

Up at the Dream Suite, I got some beastly news from Luna: A total of 666 people have visited my dream town (since the update).

My recent dream visitors have been Bella from Loveland, Silver from Nintendo, and Lily from Tango.

Lily (the frog) asked me for some furniture, so I gave her an iron garden table that I bought at the campground. In return, she gave me her toilet.

And today, Big Top asked me for some furniture to replace his ninja sword. I used the opportunity to dump off my newest asset: the toilet from Lily!

He loved it, and he gave me a coat hanger in return. You never see trades like this in real life.

Over by my tulip topiary in the southwest park, Bob just randomly gave me a satellite. How can he afford such a thing? The price must have been sky high!

At the face-cutout standee, I put up the Harvey design that I got from Ninten the other day. I didn’t test it out by sticking my face through it though, and some of my regular visitors probably know why. 😛

In the Egyptian part of town, I finally decided to do away with the sand…at least for winter. I never thought it looked right with the snow. There’s already snow on the Sphinx and pyramid, so why shouldn’t there be snow on the ground too? So I kicked the sand away.

I ended my night with a visit to the campground, where I watched the northern lights while sitting in front of the fire.

Just as a reminder, there is a search box in the sidebar (or click the menu button if you’re on a phone). You can find where I’ve mentioned a certain event, villager, or item. Or search your name and/or town to see if I’ve mentioned you as one of my dream visitors before! Of if you’d like to search all of JVGS (not just this blog), I have a separate search box on the JVGS home page.

I made a dream visit to the official Japanese New Leaf town of Ninten (dream address 0000-000F-4241). To be clear, this is not the same town that they had before the update (the one with Splatoon patterns). As far as I know, that town has not been re-uploaded.

Ninten has several face-cutout standees, including K.K., Harvey, Callie, Marie, and Hello Kitty. Wendell is also present in town, so you can take these designs home with you and put them on your own standees.

The town features a number of villagers unlocked with Amiibo figures: Viché, Cece, Felyne, Ganon, and W. Link (Wolf Link).

Three of the 50 villagers unlocked with Welcome Amiibo cards also reside here: Julia, Ursala, and Tad. And the Sanrio cards released in Japan and Europe are represented in Ninten with Toby and Rilla.

Most of the player houses aren’t very developed: Only one of them has more than two rooms. But that one big house is definitely cool. I particularly liked seeing the new items in the Zelda themed room.

There’s also a Monster Hunter room upstairs.

The basement has some sweet super-sized items that are unlocked when you link Happy Home Designer to New Leaf.

While the town does show off a lot of the new Amiibo features, it’s otherwise kind of a blah town. It’s messy, with lots of weeds, clovers, mushrooms, and buried items all over the place.

I wish they would have redesigned the old town instead of starting fresh with this one. But still, if you’d like to check out many of the Amiibo items and villagers for yourself, this is a good place to visit. Again, the dream address is 0000-000F-4241.

Back in Forest…

I found Rolf sitting on the metal bench the other night, so I stopped briefly to join him.

Tonight, I noticed the northern lights up in the sky.

Saharah was in town, and I don’t always bother hiring her any more. But since she was already standing right next to my house, and I’m lazy, I said why not? She installed a backgammon wall and office flooring in my house. Needless to say, I took them both down after she left. 😛

My recent dream visitors have been Luna from Zirconia, Emireee from Leafre, Nikki from Srafroco, and Lunala from Naraku. Thanks for stopping by!
