Save data just got corrupted , HELP

[Zanessa]

I have the cartridge and had no corruptions..

Christ, are save data corruptions usually this frequent? The game has been out in the NA for around 2 months. A save data corruption monthly is absolutely ridiculous, practically in the vein of releasing an unfinished game. But this is the first time I've heard of it.

Is backing up just copying everything in your SD card onto your computer after you play? I only have the cartridge version, but I assume it's the same.

I had two of my towns corrupt in December and then it happened again in June (saved that one with the data), but those were Japanese towns and two corrupted before the patch was out. :c

Cartridges can corrupt too, but it doesn't seem to happen as often.

Brrr these horror stories. *shivers* I have 3 different Animal Crossing towns in my 3dsXL because I share it with my friends. The idea of 3 different save datas all waiting to explode in corruption now terrifies me.

Are you using 3 different physical versions? Or 3 SD cards...? D:

 

[Zanessa]

How do you back it up? I don't want it to happen to me..

I'm not sure if the physical ones can be backed up since they save to the cartridge. :c If there is a way to back them up, I don't know it.

The digital copies are easy to backup since they're saved to the SD card.

Oh definitely 3 game cartridges. I assumed Nintendo would auto-brick your town if you try to use a different SD card out of DRM crap.

Honestly, my friends and I just grab the 3dsXL and then pop in the closest cartridge in the room to see if it's our town. If it's not, we look for our own cartridge (that's somewhere around).

Whoah this terrifys me,especially because I have the virtual copy on animal crossing e.e

 

[Beanie]

I always thought the Nintendo eShop was kind of bad. But hearing what happened made me kinda shocked and upset. I don't even know how i'd handle it; let alone you who probably spent a long time alone unlocking the PWPs alone. Like what's going to happen? Am I going to wake up and find that my 300+ hours of game play on AC:NL since it came out can just go poof.

 

[Ziggle5]

Wow thats terrible I'm sorry

Wow seriously? Ugh. Now I have to constantly be scared.

 

[Midgetsc]

I've never had a single game corrupt throughout my years of Nintendo. Guess I'm just lucky. "^-^

But now I'm kinda nervous since I left Animal Crossing on with my 3DS closed last night... DX

 

[ForgottenT]

I?m glad I got the hard copy, I was planning on getting the downloaded version but we was in GameStop so I bough it there instead.

 

[Midgetsc]

I have the downloaded version. I have a cartridge in the mail that I ordered 2 days ago, though.

 

[iMannySpears]

Still no solution :,(

 

[Midgetsc]

If you buy the downloaded version, you can convert your data? That'll make corrupts more common, but at least you can back it up.

 

[iMannySpears]

Im mad at Nintendo ACNL is one of the games that need a save backup thing -.-

 

[Kaiaa]

Well if there is nothing we can do about it than there is nothing we can do about it, unfortunately. If you need and items, fruits, or bells, feel free to ask me. I can help you get some stuff.
