6/30/13- 2nd Best Buy DLC Releases

@Valerie - Try it and see, if not you're welcome to pick it up to catalog from me.

I had no shame, I walked right into the 3ds section of best buy and downloaded it with no problems. Someone must have been there too (hiding???) because I got their house in HHA streetpassing. :o
 
All right, I renamed by router to "bestbuy" and the nintendo zone lit up. I then tried to follow the steps in this guide, but with no luck! The zone knew I was a faker. So I booted up the game and went to the post-office (after setting up my newly named router as my internet access point.) I then crossed my fingers and asked for my gift...


And no luck :(

Not sure if this is because Nintendo found a way to fix the Nintendo zone get around, or if I can't use the cheat because I have a Japanese 3DS.

Has anyone tried to rename their router to see if that will work?

That... is neva going to work! If I rename my router/network to 'Bunneh Shelter' well, okays- it just doesn't function like that. Nintendo has the unique server addresses & passwords of Best Buys & it's secure.

Still, valiant determination Valerie! %)
 
How do I know if the Best Buys near my area are participating?
Also, to anyone who has already gotten the items: are the items available via catalog?
 
I live in Mexico and I know there are BB but Im not sure if they will have it available :c
 
The nearest BestBuy location for me from where I work is about an hour away. I'd rather go there after work than travel farther from home another day. I'm just hoping the method posted will work there...
 
It's funny because I went online to see if my local Bestbuy has Nintendo Zone and they did. I go in the store and not a single employee knows what Nintendo Zone is. So I decided to take out my 3DS anyway while seeing if it would work, one of the employees asked me what I was doing. I told him using your wifi lmao. I got the clock. It's kinda sad though that their employees don't know what Nintendo Zone is and I live in NYC

Hi Accf, I guess you can inspect my catalogue & subsequently order it in your town? Is that how it works? I've never attempted this before... :-\

Edit: looks like I req. the Catalogue Machine in Timmy's Store... which I do not own. Sorry, Accf.
 
Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share my experience:
I was able to get to a Best Buy with Nintendo Zone. It took an hour of just standing there, getting errors every time I tried to connect to Nintendo Zone.
It went from searching for Nintendo Zone -> Best Buy - use service -> then it brings you up to a page where you can download the contents.
After it is done, you go to AC and go to the post office to claim your gift.

For people that can detect the Nintendo Zone, you have to keep trying even though you are getting errors. It will eventually go through.

For the cataloging question people are having, I won't have my catalog until the 19th so if the answer is not answered by then, I'll reply back.
 
If anyone can let me come over to catalogue it, it would be much appreciated :)

It's most likely the Japanese 3DS. To give an example, I can't get English pokemon events with my Japanese pokemon games.
 
My Best Buy is advertised as having the Nintendo Zone, but when we got there, it didn't work. They have the display and everything, it just isn't turned on. Grrrrr. So disappointed.

Same thing happened to me and I had them running around with no luck. Is it reorderable?
 
Hm. You changed the SSID of your router and connected your 3DS to it? It might be Canada-only. The person who posted it is from Quebec I believe and I'm in Alberta. Also, the name is case-sensitive. It has to be Bestbuy.
 
I have never in my life posted to a site like this FYI
I went to My Best buy and I did not get the clock.. I checked to find Nintendo Zones in my area and its not listed either.
Would anyone be willing to get one through the catalog for me and Ill pay for it. That is if its reorder able.

Thanks Y'all

Hey guys, just going to put this link here telling you how to get the Best Buy dlc from your own home!

I can confirm this works, I just got two clocks from the comfort of my own couch, lol. I'm so happy and can't wait to get all the dlc without having to drive for 30 minutes. ^_^

This neat little trick worked for me, I live in the US. The SSID needs to be exactly Bestbuy, like they've said. Once you've connected your 3DS to the router start up Animal Crossing and head to the post office. Simple.
 
Well, I went to Best Buy a bit before closing and I can't begin to tell you how awkward it is walking around the store with an open 3DS when you're over the age of 12. xD

But, after much searching, I found that the only place I could successfully get my DLC items was in front of the PS3 games...
I met another frustrated animal crosser, and we laughed at how stupid we looked.

Good times.
