There’s a fairly large Iwata Asks up now in Japanese for Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It’s a very long interview, so it will be a while until we have a translation. Until then, we have 2 minutes of new footage from the interview. Watch it below:
A giant clam shell taken to R Parkers along with a music track can be made into a… music box! Awesome.

My remake order is finished! A giant clam shell together with music makes a lovely music box? You can enjoy them a few different ways: to play your favorite songs, to decorate your room, and as a music box!

Should I take the ‘K.K. Milonga’ I ordered home?

Sometimes you’ll find a giant clam shell on the beach. If you take it to R Parkers along with a certain something else, then you can have it remade into something really nice looking.

Good morning everyoone! I found a giant clam shell when I was talking a walk on the beach this morning. If you take a giant clam shell and a certain ‘something’ to R-Parkers, you can get it remade into something really nice! I’ll let you know what it is when it’s finished!

With Nintendo now producing and selling paid DLC for some of their games (Fire Emblem, New Super Mario Bros. 2), there have been concerns regarding this for Animal Crossing. Imagine paying real money for more furniture.
That’s no longer a concern though as Iwata has confirmed that after an intensive discussion with the development team a decision has been made to avoid selling DLC/add-on content for a cost. Most likely the free DLC support that Wild World and City Folk had will continue with New Leaf in the future.
The exact quote from Iwata:
For example, some might say that it would be unbelievably profitable to provide paid add-on content for “Animal Crossing: New Leaf,” but we were concerned that a game in which you enjoy yourself more by the power of money would not be suitable, and we decided to avoid such a feature after an intensive discussion with the development team.
