That happened to me recently. It was terrifying. Hope it's not a bad sign. It would be devastating if my file corrupted.
This happened to me twice last month, but then hasn't happened since. Both times I was out and had no wifi connection and I have to wonder if that had something to do with it? Could just be coincidence. But in any case, it's been over a month and no trouble since.

I was at home when it happened to me. I'm almost sure that I had wifi on.
Well, probably just coincidence then. But like I said, it hasn't happened again, and no problems with my game. I play daily and it's been over a month.
Just remember not to turn the game off....just put it down and walk away....

Yeah, definitely. And no closing the 3ds either! Bad things will happen!
I closed it before, nothing bad happened. You should probably not say things that you havent done.

Alright. Bad things might happen. Someone posted about getting the file corrupted by closing the 3ds while it was saving.
Really? Sorry, I didn't know, this actually happened to me twice and nothing bad happened! I should be more careful of saving now.

I have sometimes hit the top of my 3DS causing it to close before. I haven't done it while saving though. I white-knuckle my 3DS while saving. xD
Anyway, long saves only happen when visiting another town or when a friend visits me.
Ah, I do have a lot of photos so will delete them later.
Thanks for your replies guys, glad i'm not the only one this has happened to
Actually, the explanation is quite easy if you think about it, and it really has something to do with Wi-Fi (in a way).
When you play at home and Wi-Fi, you tend to save more frequently because of Porter & friends visiting your town. That way the "saveload" is kept small. However when you are out and playing you don't just tend to "save and continue" once in a while, you can keep playing for hours without saving so once you save in the end, the game will have tons of data to save and it will also naturally take longer.
^ Not always the case, though. The last time my game took minutes to save, I was showing a friend who doesn't play Animal Crossing something quickly. I started up my 3DS, opened the game, showed him a hilarious villager, and then saved and quit. Total play time was maybe 4 minutes.

That makes sense, but it was definitely not what happened in my case. I was at a convention and I was logging on to pick up my streetpasses, and basically logging right back out. I played briefly (w/ friends who were there) but we can't have been on more than 5 minutes tops.
