@Roxer9000: money isn't an issue for me. I have the money to buy it. The issue is I don't speak Japanese and love interacting with the animals and all in the game.
I'm having to sit on my hands to keep from buying a Japanese 3DS- I truly believe my money would be better spent buying the NA version of the game. So I will wait- as much as I hate doing it! Having money and spending it wisely are two very different things. Sure I could buy the game, but it would probably be better to put that money into my savings account- especially with winter coming and thus having a large heating bill to look forward too!
Time always seems to speed up between now and the end of the year. January will be hear before I know it, and then I'll be super busy at work (Q1 is our busiest time of the year) and wala! ACNL will be waiting for me at the end of it!
Thanks again, though, for posting the link. I shall use it as my daily temptation, lol.
