Memos from Mamemura: Week 4

This week was a relatively low-key week in Mamemura. Even my secretary Shizue was looking a little less chipper then usual:

But that doesn’t mean I didn’t get anything done! I’ve been diligently visiting Mamemura every day, and not only did the shoe shop finally get built, but Nook’s store received an upgrade, as well!

If you look closely, you can see a certain villager in Nook’s store, as well! Can you guess who it is?

Guess who moved in? It’s Doremi, the deer who camped in my village last week! What a quaint little house she has!

Since Christmas is coming up, all of the villagers are telling me what they’re wishing for. Frill here wants something green. Funny, I would’ve pinned her for more of a black or purple sort of gal, especially considering her taste in home decor…

Why, look who it is! Dr. Shrunk appeared one morning saying he wanted to open a club in my town, and that if I could get 6 signatures from other villagers, they’d start construction immediately. Of course I made it a priority to get those signatures, and a few days later, Club 444 was open and ready for business!

How do you like my Santa outfit? I’ve been trying to collect the various pieces as they show up in the shops. So far I have the boots, shirt, hat, and even beard (not wearing it in the above image, obviously). I just need the matching pants!

Oh, Lisa’s husband Kazio finally woke up! He has a really fun way of speaking, I can’t wait to see how they localize it. He can refurbish your furniture for you, but I haven’t tried it yet. 

Poor Doremi’s caught a cold, and I’ve fed her medicine two days in a row with no sign of her getting better. I wonder if villagers are more likely to get sick in the winter?

Well, that concludes this week in Animal Crossing: New Leaf! As always, feel free to ask me any questions you might have about the game in the comments!

About Anne

Also known as apricotsushi. Anne can be written with the kanji for apricot (杏), and sushi was the most quintessentially Japanese thing I could think of when I was 13, resulting in my goofy, albeit memorable, nickname.

  1. Love it as always, Anne 🙂 I really can’t get over how good this version looks, by the way. I especially like the exterior graphics — the shimmer of the grass, etc.

    And of course I’m still all a-flutter over Doremi. I think she may be the cutest damn AC character yet!

    Finally, I love your little ‘cat girl in winter’ outfit. Too cute 🙂

  2. Thanks Bryan! I’ve actually quite warmed up to the new “realistic” characters – I really like that you can change your socks/stockings and shoes now that they actually have real legs and feet! I’ve seen some people complain that the graphics haven’t improved very much, but I beg to disagree! If you put the games side by side, New Leaf has a lot more detail.

    I know what you mean about Doremi! She’s so cute. I loved having an excuse to visit her house every day while she was sick (actually, she’s still sick, but I think she’ll be better tomorrow!).

    And thanks! I like the cat outfit, too! It’s hard to decide on just one, though, so I’m always changing what I’m wearing! I’ll have to start selling some things soon, as my closet is filling up…

  3. Oh, yeah, I’ve warmed up to the taller, more realistic characters, too. Also, some of the animals look really, really great in this iteration.

    I’m completely baffled by people who say all AC games look the same, BTW. Clearly those people have only played one of the series’ games–if that. Now, they do all share a similar general art style, but that’s about it. Other than that, each game looks noticeably better than the previous ones, if you ask me. (The only possible exception is the DS one, which I think looks worse than the GC original in many ways.)

    Also, I hear ya RE: always changing your character’s outfit. I even do that a lot in the GC version, and there are a LOT less clothing options in that game. As such, I’m going to go NUTS when I finally get my hands on this one 🙂

  4. Woah! What a cute cat-outfit!!! O_____O
    I need to get this when I receive my copy of Animal Crossing New Leaf.
    And it’s so great that Doremi moved into your town! She’s so cute! Do you like her? 🙂
    I read so much about AC NL the last days because I am so damn desperate.

    So I already knew Dr. Shrunk would open a club in your town someday and that you’re now able to save all emotions, not only 4.

    Did the villagers tell you their christmas-whishes in the other AC-games too? Cause it seems new to me. OMG I need this game so bad 🙁
    BTW: did you get the AC-movie-parts?
    Yours Lizzi

  5. There are so many cute clothes in New Leaf, I’m sure you will enjoy them 🙂 I feel like I’m changing my outfit almost every day!

    Doremi’s really cute, she’s one of my favorite villagers.

    Yeah, I’ve already got 2 emotions, but there are quite a few left to get! I need to remember to stop by the club during the day to get them (one per day).

    I can’t remember, but I don’t think the villagers had specific Christmas present requests in the previous games. Some of them keep changing their minds, though! It’s pretty funny.

    And yes, I got the movie, thank you so much! I’m going to watch it on my tablet on my flight to the US!

  6. Hey Anne, would you like to add me as friend on your 3DS? (or on both your 3DS’es, I guess you have two right? One japanese and one american.) Because I would loooove to add you as friend 🙂
    Here’s my friends-code: 5370-0814-5821

  7. Sure! My Japanese 3DS is 2594-9844-2715 … I have to charge my US 3DS before I can check my friend code, so I’ll write back with that one soon! >_<

  11. Whoops, that’s my Pokemon Black 2 friend code! Hahaha. I’ll get you my US 3DS friend code as soon as I remember to charge it >_<
