I couldn't find elsewhere about possibilities for animal crossing new leaf game to become corrupted? I usually save my game and when the little chat bubble pops up saying the game has been saved, I just straight up hold the power button and turn the device off without hitting the home button and then closing the game first. Will that eventually lead to my hard copy animal crossing game to become corrupted in the future? D:
 
Many corruptions are just, unfortunetly, random, because usually you wouldn't deliberately press the power bottom while saving, unless your batteries died while saving
I've heard that not letting the game go back to the home screen after saving can increase your chances of corruption, but only a little and I'm not entirely certian it's true.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, especially since you're is a hard copy; digital ones corrupt more often.
 
I always just power off a couple of seconds after the title screen appears and it has never been a problem.
 
I always close whatever game I'm on anyway but particularly animal crossing as I'm very paranoid about losing anything I've worked for.
I don't know the answer to your question but I don't like to risk it....
 
I don't think I even power off tbh.... I usually just save to the game's opening screen then close the lid. I should probably be more scared of messing up my 3DS battery than corrupting my ACNL game :/
