The latest release date update...

[Bambi]

They could call it "Animal Crossing: Yo mama" for all I care lol. I just want the game

 

[Aryn Swifteye]

Early to me means before April, but I have the feeling it means April - May to Nintendo. Although if they wanted to put it out in March for my birthday I'd be totally okay with that, Nintendo.

Ditto that! (My birthday's in March too!)

If the name changes in the EU version, I will still tag along with the NA name.

I'll probably do the same now, I'm so used to it. I don't remember once saying Let's go to the city, I only ever called it City Folk.

 

[Stevey Queen]

Maybe it will come out on my birthday, May 5th.

 

[Sora]

Maybe it will come out on my birthday, May 5th.

How bout you hope it comes out on my birth day, April 16th?

[Torotix]

Wasn't that also gamestop's placeholder date? >_>

 

[Crimson]

mass wide spread panic!~ either way i have 1 day release shipping on it for when it comes out so I'm all set @___@

 

[Fjoora]

Nintendo is teasing us so badly.
It's a real shame.
I know people are causing Nintendo's inbox with plea after plea about a release date, and you know what, I think we deserve one.
This game was announced in 2010! I'm not asking for the game tomorrow, just the knowledge of when I can get my hands on a copy!

 

[Flutterfairy]

Imagine if it comes out on Gamestop's placeholder date. They knew all aloooong.

Sometimes I stop in just for fun to see what the sales person will tell me this time.

It's been out since July 2011. We just had no idea.

 

[Pokeking]

I would consider April or before to be early 2013 if one considers dividing the year into three four month segments.

 

[Bambi]

1st quarter: 1 October 2012 – 31 December 2012
2nd quarter: 1 January 2013 – 31 March 2013
3rd quarter: 1 April 2013 – 30 June 2013
4th quarter: 1 July 2013 – 30 September 2013

These are the quarters for the United States Fiscal year.

Going by this it will be out March at the latest Hopefully this is what they are going by. If Q2 still applies that is....

[RisingSun]

Wikipedia is totally unreliable. I am of the opinion that it will not be the fiscal Q2, but either Early March or Late April if it comes out in those two months. The reason I give this is because of Luigi's Mansion. Its release date is March 24. This means that NoA is not going to take away from the sales of LM by releasing AC too close. Even the two time periods I give may be too close. I really hope not, but as a marketing student, I must look at this realistically.

I /believe/ those are the federal gov't's fiscal quarters. If I remember correctly a business' fiscal year varies.
