This is kind of a dumb question but...

Ever since I joined this forum, I noticed people have multiple towns. I would like a second town as well. Do I have to buy another 3DS or just buy another cartridge/copy of the game? Like could I have 2 different data for the same game on the same 3DS? (does that even make any sense?) omg sorry I can't explain myself

You can have multiple cartridges for one DS. If you want to transfer villagers/items between towns though, you'll need a second DS.

Omg people on here must be rich

Ty~ how about if I buy a digital copy? That's the same concept right?

As I understand it, you can only have one digital copy of the game per DS - but you can use as many physical cartridge copies as you want (along with the one digital copy)

Yup, that's right. I have the digital copy from the eShop and one physical copy.

In fairness, I got a Japanese version, and an NA version for not only the holidays, but something to practice my Japanese on too. I did get a used NA copy that I'm going to eventually sell just for my visiting/hosting badges back in late 2013, and also keep in mind you've only got so many hours in a day, the more you play your second town, the less you can play your primary town- trust me, I've learned to devote 70% of my playtime to the NA original, 30% to the JP one (make sure no one moves), and now 0% to the second NA one who's going to be sold, no point keeping it if it'll never be played again.
