Wich would you prefre the Japanese version or the English version? I might be buying the japanese version of acnl and still have the english version,I have heard the Japanese version includes more stuffs than the english version.
 
English cuz i can understand it. If u can understand japanese go for it
 
in case you didnt know you will need a japanese 3ds to play the japanese version

and other than that, there's no reason for it. only difference between the JP and ENG versions is the holidays, which is pointless imo - the english version contains the same amount as the japanese version
 
Japanese because I don't really care what people say only if it's instructions
and because of better holidays and FAR FAR better DLC

But the game card looks more appealing that too. And the title screen
 
I'm playing the Japanese version and it's basically the same besides the holidays. I do think that some of the Japanese names fit with the animals better.

I will say that unless you are really good with Japanese the English one would be more enjoyable. Sure it's simple enough to play through the game with just basic Japanese skills, but if you really want to enjoy the dialogue it's best to be able to understand most of it.

OK just re-read that you also have the English version so I would say go for it. It would give you the chance to have a new town and a slightly different experience.
But if you are not in Japan I don't think you can get the Japanese DLC even if you are playing the Japanese version?
 
There's barely any difference. I wouldn't mind either, except for the fact that I can't understand Japanese and I don't bother learning it.
 
I would get a japanese version if I had a imported 3DS which sadly I don't.
I was told you cannot play a japanese version of ACNL unless you also have a Japanese import 3DS supposedly.
 
English because I don't understand a lick of Japanese. If I could get myself a German one, that would be great.
 
Dialogue is weaker than past AC games, almost (or is) weak enough to not matter not knowing what they say. If I have a Japanese 3DS I'd get it for the PWP anywhere glitch.
 
Eh, not japanese, I don't undersand it so there's no point?
Unless I could get my hands on an unpatched and glitchy copy.

Can't you just change the language for your english game?
 
I would not do it unless I wanted to learn Japanese or already had a Japanese 3ds.
 
I don't have a Japanese ACNL but I do play Japanese Pokemon games. I have always been able to receive Japanese events despite living in the UK, and my 3DSLL gets the Japanese eshop (which FYI has 4x as much interesting stuff as the European one, grr). I was even able to top it up with yen and pay for Pokemon Bank! I'm fairly certain a Japanese copy of ACNL, on a Japanese machine, would be fine downloading Japanese DLC, so that at least shouldn't be a problem.
 
English, I don't speak Japanese and have no interest to learn it. It's nice to be able to understand the dialogue in the game!
