• Good evening, everyone! We have an egg hunt announcement! An additional clue for egg #21 will be posted Monday at 6 PM EDT if it hasn't been found by then. The egg hunt will also be extended until Tuesday morning at 10 AM EDT.

URGENT! Texture glitches

It definitely sounds like a problem with the cartridge. You could probably return it & get a new one if you haven't bought it too long ago?
I think maybe could actually sell it on ebay and make a profit depending on how cool the glitches look!
 
I've seen this on Tumblr! Someone bought AC:NL used and all the textures were ugly rainbow and pixel-y. And Digby was all glitched out. I wish I could find it.

I would love to see some screenshots of it... I think if other people would visit, that the town would look normal to them due to the way town data is sent: it doesn't include texture mapping because that's already in your own game. All the game's objects are already in your game, so the data you get of other towns just includes the data for which object is in each spot on the grid.

That's a good point. And come to think of it it'd be easy to prove/disprove by OP visiting his GF's town.

More importantly though, hope things work out in the end wild_wool, whether you end up fixing the problem or making a new town (on a new gamecard).

Anyway its a physical glitch, I have seen this before by a few people. In your case, I am not sure if its fixable since you have already cleaned both the consoles and the cartridge. It might be that the cartridge has a scratch/s on the plates, overuse of taking the cartridge in and out, or an incorrect save (...maybe? I doubt, its not likely to cause a glitch like this). The consoles could have a problem as well, either something inside has gotten out of place, scratched or overused.

Do you have another copy of Animal Crossing New Leaf that is a cartridge to test on both consoles? Don't worry, its not likely to affect it.
