On Wednesday, a fortune cookie gave me a New Nintendo 3DS. The one I got from Isabelle’s RV has her face on the outside of it; this one is just a plain, regular one.
Up on Main Street, I spotted Tom! I wasn’t expecting to see him yet until I had another villager move out. So either I was mistaken and lost track of someone at some point, or the update changed how many villagers appear on Main Street.
I shot down a balloon present yesterday, and it contained a gold screen wall. If you’re not already aware, the update changed balloon presents so they can carry random items too (and not just balloon furniture like before). That’s a welcome change.
Shortly after 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Merka and Mike came over, and we took some pictures by my FNF sign.
We made some references to carp blood throughout the night, and it’s because of a joke Merka and I made five years ago tonight, in City Folk. She was known as Skye back then, and we made fun of the “Do You Like Waffles?” song by replacing it with carp blood. Why carp blood, I’m not exactly sure. But it must have made sense at the time. 😀
Even if Nintendo took away our net glitch, we can still stump merge. It’s mergilicious.
Beth also came over to visit, so I had a full house. We went over to the drive-in campground and hung out there for a while. I noticed that when you toss beans at the campground, they don’t fling out as high.
I later tested it out back in town, and they shoot out high and far in town. Just not at the campground.
We tested something else out tonight, too. We wanted to see if people outside can hear if someone honks the horn of the RV. To my surprise, the answer is yes! In fact, we get shocked expressions outdoors too.
While we were at it, we also tested to see if the horns of different RVs sounded different. Booker and Isabelle were both at the campground, but sadly, the horns sounded the same. That would have been a nice touch if they each had a unique sound. Like maybe Booker could have a deeper honk, and Isabelle’s could be more cheery. No big deal though, of course. I realize Nintendo can’t put an infinite amount of details into a free update. 😉
Mike and Merka sat on a log (bench), facing each other. Then, they started attacking each other. It was a good, old-fashioned bean fight!
I really enjoy the campground during online play. It’s such a great place to relax and chat.
We talked about how good it would be to have a new Animal Crossing game on Switch, where we could use USB keyboards to communicate again. That would be infinitely better than the on-screen keyboard in New Leaf. I wouldn’t even mind if it was basically a port of New Leaf / Welcome Amiibo with some new features added. That would be better than waiting another five years for a new game.
Once we were done twerking at the campground, we went into town hall to see the ghost Wisp working behind the counter. Mike also showed off his haircut. I’m not sure which was scarier. 😉
We went outside to the geyser and celebrated at 11:11 on 11/11.
We continued to discuss Animal Crossing, particularly the recent update. They patched the net glitch, yet there was one thing they didn’t fix: The extremely short span of time that a message is on-screen! It’s still only five seconds, which is far too short. That’s not even enough time to walk through a doorway.
We later went up near the railroad tracks, where Mike fell into the pitfall behind the face-cutout standee. As always, I didn’t get to see my victim’s fall. But I stuck my face into the gravestone as people threw beans at me.
And we starting making band names for some reason? Or maybe it was just me.
Mike wanted to catch up with his former villager Julian, so we all started a search a party for him. Eventually, we found him hanging out in the art gallery with all the naked statues. And I noticed he wasn’t wearing any pants.
This valiant statue looked like a slingshot. Or then again, maybe the wings look like my arms.
If you ever need to check if a painting is real or fake, remember I have a Crazy Redd Art Guide right here on JVGS!
Anyway, we then went to my house and made whooping sounds in froggie chairs.
Merka went away for a bit at one point, while Mike imagined a GameCube version of New Leaf. We started using love emotions, and the sound of it was quite funny. I just imagined what Merka’s reaction would be like when she returned to the sound of this lovely alarm.
After that, we started quoting Arrested Development. But after chatting for a while, we got disconnected. It was well after midnight already, so I didn’t reopen my gate. But I had a good time tonight. Thanks to Merka, Mike, and Beth for coming!
My recent dream visitors have been Sarah from Fujioka, Emily from Honolulu, Gamer from Wii, and Sarusa from Anitown. Have a good weekend, everyone!
While I’ve discussed many of the bigger features of the New Leaf update in the previous two blog entries, there are still many small changes as well. For example, you can sit in the RVs and honk the horn…scaring the camper in the process.
And if you press the A button near the fire pit at the campground at night, you’ll do a little dance!
Yesterday, I used my magic lamp to summon Wisp. I then had Wisp scan my Isabelle Amiibo figure that came with 
But while looking at the list of items I could order, I noticed a Wii U console and a “New 3DS – Isabelle.” The New 3DS and Wii U items are how you play the new mini-games, Animal Crossing Puzzle League and Desert Island Escape! You can get those items from fortune cookies at the Nooklings’ shop (if you’re lucky), but it may be quicker just to check the special RV visitors each day and order them with MEOW coupons. I ordered them both.
Animal Crossing Puzzle League
Rolf told me that he was planning on moving out of town on November 13th. Wait, the 13th? Isn’t that unusual for an animal to ask about leaving ten days in advance? It seems like it’s usually 5-6 days max. Unless they changed this in the update?
I circled my town four or five times last night, trying to find Wisp, but I didn’t have any luck. But then today, when I wasn’t even trying, a voice contacted me.
The voice came from a lamp. Well, inside a lamp.
Of course Wisp was the ghost inside the lamp, and he asked me to take the lamp back to my house. So I did, and out he popped.
He told me that he can possess the body of another person if I have an Amiibo. I used an Amiibo card of Stitches, and he turned into Stitches. Well, only in appearance.
He told me that he can grant me one wish per day. I had the option of asking Stitches to move into town or I could get some furniture. I opted for the furniture option, and he gave me a claw-foot tub. He also gave me some MEOW coupons before he went away. But the lamp remained in my house, so I think I can use it again without having to find Wisp every day.
Uhh… I think she actually looked better without a face. Apparently it’s not just me that thinks that way. Her description on the touch screen admitted she still looks kinda creepy.
As expected, my secret storeroom is now complete. When in my house, I can press an icon on the touch screen to access it. Sweet!
I went up to Nook’s Homes, and Tom Nook introduced me to Lottie. She taught me how to redecorate my house by using the touch screen.
I immediately paid off the storeroom at the post office.
My recent dream visitors have been Ben from B-Town and Angovis from Unova. Thanks for stopping by! My new dream visitor count now stands at 12. 😛 See you next time!
