I'm a little confused by this because on some of the youtube videos they have out, a lot of the benches they placed facing out over a cliff etc.

The bench in the Mall Area is always rotated to face the ocean (you don't place it there), but the ones you place in town can't be rotated.

Does your own Birthday event (or any event) start at 6am like usual?

How does using wifi to visit towns work? Can someone visit your town whenever you're online or do you have a gate to open(like in past games)?Also if there are gates, can you close them while someone is in your town(so no one else enters without you knowing)?Sorry if these are stupid, I never used wifi in past games Thanks.

How to get this hair?

Hey all,

i've seen a pic of this hair style but I don't see it as an option if you look at the guide (http://acnewleaf.com/2013/05/27/heads-up-english-animal-crossing-new-leaf-face-guide/) for starting the game, does anyone know how to get this?

 

[Zen]

From the hair salon.

 

[Wilemina]

I don't think you can get that hair at the start of the game. You probably get it at Shampoodle.

 

[eresin]

ah of course! Thanks guys!

You have to have your gate open to let people visit, to be able to play with them. But closing your gates will kick them out of your town. You will know if someone enters your town though - your game pauses to load and shows you.
However you can set it so your gates only allow people listed as your 'Best friends' into your town. So if you only have 1 person set as your best friend then only that 1 person will be able to visit your town.

Also if you and a 'best friend' are both on wifi, but with your gates closed you will still be able to message each other without being in the same town. (via the keyboard speech method)

I believe that the events are timed differently based on what Holiday it is.

I assume Birthday's start at 6am though
Again without being a Japanese player or having the guide next to me, I can't answer that part.

 

[Jinglefruit]

I would assume they can't start until the villager hosting wakes up. Otherwise they're condemned to sitting indoors for 24 hours without sleep. xD Which I don't think any holiday or event has done before.

I saw a picture of a weird circle clock that lights up on a site for New Leaf.
Does anyone know it's name?

 

[Lydiamilan]

I've never used street pass before, could someone explain it to me please? I am getting the game on Sunday, and I was wondering if I already have people in my street pass plaza, will they automatically show up in my Animal Crossing game if they're playing, too? Or will I have to street pass with someone while I have my Animal Crossing game open?

 

[MDofDarkheart]

Basically carry your system with the game in the cartridge slot or downloaded and when someone with NewLeaf in their system passes by you than you'll show up in eachother's HH Showcase on the game.

I believe it's called the Illuminated(or Illumination) Clock.
However, I don't know whether or not that's the confirmed English name.

Since AC:NL is about 6,000 blocks, how long should it take to download? Is there anyone here who has downloaded other eShop games (i.e. Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter) that can give me a general idea of how long it'll take?

 

[Stephanie]

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, there's just 260 pages and I don't really have time to read them all ;A;
Anyway, my questions is: Will I be able to visit towns of people who live in different countries?
I live in the US and I have a lot of EU friends and we want to visit each other, will that be possible? I guess same with US to JP, EU to JP, etc.

You can visit them

It depends on how fast internet connection you have. I downloaded Fire Emblem a few days ago and it took about 45 minutes
