So I've been debating getting a second copy of the game, I've almost completed my dream frog town. So was thinking i might try and help people get there dream villagers by getting a second copy. I'm just not sure i can justify buying another copy of the game......
 
Personally, I wouldn't shell out $30+ just to get a few villagers from a cycling town. Not unless I have extra money to spend.
 
I've been thinking of this, but that means I'd have to buy a second 3ds as my first one broke and my new one is my main.
 
I have two copies and one 3ds. I just can't TT anymore though, so if you want to cycle villagers, you will need 2 consoles. I personally love having two towns, cause I can have two mayors and lots of different villagers c:

You don't need a new 3DS to get another copy. As far as I know, you can have unlimited digital copies of the game on the same 3DS. The only way you're restricted to only one is if you're getting a digital version, but if you have a digital version you can get a physical version as your second copy.

Would you need to have each digital copy saved on a separate SD card? I remember reading that it doesn't read well, though I might have read wrong. This is interesting to know, though!

@ OP, If you have extra money to shell out, I guess it would be your decision. I would look for a used copy if possible? Though it's a good though that you want to help, you could save the money too! There are a lot of cyclers out there :D
 
I have two copies on one 3DS and I cycle. I cycle with the game clock not the 3DS clock so it doesn't affect my main. I bought the second copy to help other people get their dreamies and then after that I was gonna make another town cause I have a billion villagers that I like. But it's up to you. If you feel you can afford to get another copy go ahead, but if you think you should save your money for something else, do that.
 
id but i have my 2nd copy and its actually boring since i have all tier 5 + 1 tier 2 villagers but yeah its exciting how you get cool villagers via tting.
 
I don't think it is worth spending real money on a game, just to use it for cycling in my opinion. :3 Unless you have extra money laying around.
 
I'm actually debating about getting the japanese 3ds animal crossing bundle...I think it would be more meaningful than just getting a second copy of the game, since I'd like to have my towns interact with each other ( and getting streetpass items + all those japan exclusives). Plus, there are a ton if japanese games that I would to experience XD!! Although this will be a huge investment as the bundle costs over $300 lol
