Dab ]]> New Japanese DLC http://www.animalcrossingpost.com/ Stacey The Japanese DLC items are a couch that looks like the new Nintendo DSi, (to commemorate its release tomorrow, April 5th), and a schoolboy uniform (a hat). We may post pics soon. If you know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, etc. who lives in Japan, you may be lucky enough to catalog these items. Or maybe you're lucky enough to be in Japan! Or you could go to a forum. Whatever. Just get these items; they are really cool! The couch is "catalogable" and can be ordered for 18,900b.  Rumor has it that the US may be getting a blue DSi couch (the Japanese version is white). Australia is getting the Dsi couch from Apr. 3 - Apr. 10. There may also be a chair coming soon after. Here are the official Nintendo AC downloadable content sites:

North American DLC Site

Japanese DLC Site

You must have wiiconnect24 enabled during a certain time period to get the item. For example, the delivery period for the red pikmin hat was Mar. 25 - Apr. 1.

EDIT: The US version is a black DSi couch called "Nintendo DSi B."  It became available for most people on April 5.

E-mail us at webmaster@animalcrossingpost to let us know when you got it if you are in another country!

]]> Site News http://www.animalcrossingpost.com/ Stacey First, while we have been very happy with our free host, which has given us many features with no ads *shock and awe,* with our new forums running, we have outgrown our host. Now we are moving to paid hosting, and hopefully the move will be complete this weekend. This shouldn't change much, except the "mySQL" errors should be gone from the forum! Second, we are going to phase out the Google group for the friend codes.  We have a section on the forum for friend code-exchanging, and we would rather it all be in the same place. We will keep the old group around for a little while so the current exchanges can be finished up. Third, in order to prevent spam on our new forums, we have required everyone's first post to be moderated. This weeds out automatic spammers. Fourth, that little comment box on the post about wisp isn't going to work because it it doesn't really fit. Hopefully in the distant future we will manage to create a new comment method on these posts.]]> The NEW RE-DESIGNED ACP-Forums Are Running!!!

]]> St. Patrick's Day DLC Item Released (Shamrock Hat) http://www.animalcrossingpost.com/ Greg Important Wisp Information! http://www.animalcrossingpost.com/ Stacey before going on Wi-Fi, then have friends over, you can rub the lamp in your attic while friends are over. Beware, however, that the game may lock up if you do this!!! You may still WiiSpeak and see the typed messages of others, but it will be necessary to power off the Wii. You cannot end the party.]]> Some Quick Announcements http://www.animalcrossingpost.com/ Stacey (Watch)
CORRECTED: tools page, golden can/perfect town section. Having a fountain has no effect upon achievement of perfect town ratings.  We apologize for the mistake.
FORUMS: We are currently trying to improve our forums. The new and improved forums will be up soon. Unfortunately, all current users will have to re-register on the new forum. We will send a reminder e-mail with a link to the new one soon.
CALENDAR: We are a little late on the calendar this month--a bit of procrastination has been involved...]]> Research Opportunity: Frillard http://www.animalcrossingpost.com/ Stacey Occasionally, we will be asking our site visitors to help us research information for The Animal Crossing Post. This time, we are wondering about Frillard. We have never seen him in our town, so we would like to hear from those of you who have. According to the guide, Frillard is a special character who will sometimes appear in place of Dr. Shrunk at the Marquee (theater in the city) and teach rare emotions. We want to know:

+Does Frillard stay for a day--or more?
+How did you know he was there?
+What does the ticket salesperson say to you when he is there?
+Do his emotions cost more than the usual 800 bells?
+Do your villagers talk about him? Did that let you know he was there?
+Do the animals in the city talk about him?
+When did he come? What day, month, time? What was the weather like?
+Do you think that time-traveling affects this? What else may affect it?

If you have seen Frillard, we would appreciate your help. E-mail us (see link below)! Tell us your character name and town name, and we'll give you credit in our article.
