Visit The Houses of People You Streetpassed:
At the Happy Home Exhibition Street in front of the shopping street, you can visit the model houses of people you street passed. Any piece of furniture you like you can also order through mail order sales!
Take a Relaxing Vacation on the Island of Endless Summer!
Former Mayor Tortimer, after retiring, is now living on this resort island of endless summer. You can take many kinds of tours and purchase gifts to bring home amongst other things. Enjoy a relaxing vacation either by yourself or with everyone you know!
Visit Lots of Towns in Your Dreams!
When you sleep in the Dream House, you visit an actual person’s real town. You can freely walk around their town and visit houses while dreaming!
Make a Best Friend!
Become best friends with your Nintendo 3DS friends! If both you and your friend save one another as best friends, you will be informed of when that person comes online and even if you aren’t currently visiting their town, you can still talk to them by sending messages!
KK’s Famous Tunes Are Now Club Music?!
Every Saturday night you can enjoy listening to KK Slider’s music at “Club 444.” (Note: Club 444 in Japanese is referred to as “Club Shi Shou” or “Club See Show” – it’s a cute pun.) From Sunday to Friday, during D.J. KK Time, you can enjoy KK’s normal sound with a club music twist!
Say Hi to Far Away Friends!
When using your megaphone, you can call one of your animal friends by saying their name inot the 3DS mic. Even if they are far away they can still hear you and respond!
Swim, Dive, and Fully Enjoy the Sea!
If you are wearing a Swim Suit (they called it a Marine Suit in Japanese), you can swim in the ocean and dive beneath the water. Pay close attention to the depths and you can collect items that you can’t via fishing like special shells, sea grapes, and others!

And the new pages:
New scans featuring Gracie, Jingle and more
We’ve got new scans in showing Gracie, Jingle and more. Take a look below. Click on the thumbnails to see larger versions.
First look at the Town Map and Bottom Screen
Famitsu has two new screenshots up on their website that give us our first look at the bottom screen! Up until now, every screenshot released had been only of the top screen. With these new screenshots we’re able to see the Map for the Town and the Island.
It looks like you’ll be able to access the chat menu at any time no matter which screen you’re on by pressing the green bubble at the bottom. Certainly will be handy when playing online. I also noticed that your Town Tree is an icon on the map, kind of like the Wishing Well from the Gamecube game.
Also, what is that big orange button on the right? Just a thought but maybe this is only half of the map and pressing that goes to the other half of the map.
Grass Day is a new event in Animal Crossing 3DS plus Wendell
UPDATE: This article is out of date. Please see our updated post on Grass Day here!
In the latest Famitsu it’s been revealed that Grass Day is a new event in Animal Crossing 3DS. On September 3rd, players with a Garden Shop will be able to get a special item which gives you the ability to cut the grass in your town. Rare items will be gained through this event.
Also in this Famitsu edition, it’s been said that Wendell will be back offering patterns. This time however you’ll earn them through the Dream World. Exactly how is unknown at this time.
First tweet from the official Animal Crossing 3DS Twitter @doubutsuno_mori
The official Animal Crossing 3DS Twitter account (@doubutsuno_mori) will be tweeting new information and screenshots over the coming weeks! We will be posting the information and screenshots that come as a result.
Here is the first tweet that has been posted:
It also comes attached with the following screenshot showing a rainbow in the sky:
Here is a very rough Google translation of the tweet into English:
Hmm considered! How did you spend the three day weekend? The outing a little, I went to take a picture or a beautiful landscape! Now in the village, taking pictures with the camera 3D 3DS are you’ll be vogue! Everyone, please enjoy – I shoot a lot of landscape of the village!
It seems to imply that the screenshot feature from City Folk has returned. Stay tuned for a proper native translation soon.
