Bandai Namco updated the a few hours ago with more details about the game.

The first one also has frame rate issues so I'm not shocked. It was really fun for what it was- a Disney colored animal crossing.

ULTIMATE DISNEY PRINCESS QR CODE COLLECTION- Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Inc Belle, Snow White, Jasmin, Mulan, Ariel- Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel).

My one problem was the sticker system as a form of progression. Basically, progression in the series is tied to achievements rather than mission completion or an exp system. Some things take forever to unlock as a result. This game only has two returning worlds from the previous one, so it is well worth the money to try the first one if you're at all curious. It sounds to me like they didn't make many improvements over it, but also didn't make any mistakes over it.

I should also add the first one has an extra world (Pirates of the Carribean) as paid DLC. I found it to be great fun and I'm pretty excited for the sequel, all things considered.

The AR Cards on Nintendo UK's site work, at least for my European version.Edit: Because the 3DS camera is a piece of crap, your monitor may be blinding it and the 3DS won't see the cards too well.

In that case, your best bet is to print them out. The cards themselves are fine, but if it reads one wrong it may just see it as another card you already scanned, but with an upside-down door or something, in which case Tinkerbell will just give a dupe item.Edit2: Lowering the brightness of my monitor seems to have helped.

This coming out on top of DQVII and DQ: Builders has wrecked my life.I played all night without sleeping, finally conked out, up again in three hours to grab Internet guests and shop restock. Framerate is sluggish, feels a bit worse than the first, and there's a lot of loading and it takes forever. Saving is lightning fast, and the game is a more than worthy successor to the first one overall. The bonus for having saved data from the first game is pretty awesome as well. I didn't fully finish DMW1 as some Stickers ended up being peevishly impossible for me, but I ended up with a 50,000 coin voucher and a Golden Mickey Balloon when I started playing DMW2.Japanese AR Cards and QR Codes aren't supposed to work for NA/EU this time, which is dumber than dirt. Oxygen not included debug mode. Region locking games is bad enough, much less region locking the bonus content that's supposed to be free anyway.

The preorder code did go off without a hitch, but it is so weird that they do all this gated 'on cart' DLC type stuff for what may be the most niche game series on the 3DS that still gets physical releases.I'll have to check and see if the EU AR Cards work on the NA game, because the website for NA has zero cards last I checked. You guys are awesome for posting the EU cards. Thank you so much!This game is like Disney crack, just like the first one.

I agree that the loading times and frame rate are bad, but you get used to them, or at least I have. The only other issue is that the intro is pretty long and boring if you played the first. But once you get out of it, it's awesome, just like the first.I just got back from Disney World a few weeks ago and this is making me wish I was back. They nailed it with the castle and the fireworks at night. Plus, they have Halloween decorations that are pretty close to what they do for the Magic Kingdom. I read on Gamefaqs that the holidays coincide with Tokyo Disneyland's schedule, which is a neat touch. Finally about done with the intro stuff.

Just like the first game, it takes a while. But it's fun. And having that Magical World 1 save means I had 50000 coins to spend on adorable outfits right out the gate. Love it.The frame rate isn't great and the load times are annoying, but man is the game just so much fun. Also, the quality of life changes they've made from the first one are absolutely incredible and super helpful.

I really hope they do new world DLC with this one.E: Oh my gosh the Mainstreet Electrical Parade music plays in the dream section! I've put about 5 hours into it, after spending about 35 in the original. Some quick thoughts:PRO:- You can decorate youre house now!- Everything seems to run smoother. Characters have more animation, looking for ingrediants is more user friendly, organizing recipes by themes as well as type, dungeons seems less frustrating (Though that could change) and fishing has been improved too.- Love the expanded Castle Town- All the music and dancing is nice.- The game just generally seems like it got a much, much bigger budget than the first one did and it's happy to show that fact off. I don't feel like I'm just grinding towards the next sticker (Though I'm also fairly early in the game).CON:- Ugh, I hate the tutorial. The first game did it too. I wish there was a 'I've played this before' option to skip it.

It's too long and too wordy.- I miss the trading cards. Yeah, the puzzles feel like they'll unlock more, but the cards were addictive.- The charged shot being an AOE attack keeps throwing me off.- It seems like there's less stickers this time around?I'm looking forward to spending more time with it. BTW, anyone know how long until I unlock the Frozen world?

I couldn't seem to find an answer online. The Shop (McDuck's) restocks at Midnight, 6am, Noon & 6pm and sometimes stocks Seeds along the back counter. You'll also find them through fishing, gardening, gathering from sparkling spots, Favors, and Event Boards. There are some quests that give you ridiculous amounts of Seeds for doing almost nothing (Hula, Dusting for Dwarves) and others that drop in dungeons.In the 1st game, they seemed to stock Seeds more often. There were two shops though and they only reset at Midnight & Noon, if I recall correctly. You could also repeatedly get some of them through AR Card functionality in the first game?

(Uncertain as it has been a while. Wikia confirms that repeat scans gave Seeds.)I really need to read up on the Gardening. It seems to have heavily been nerfed in the sequel. Everything takes less time to grow, but for most crops, going after certain quests and gathering has been way more productive than going through with the whole system. It is useful for getting the Gardening-related Stickers.

Big shrug on every other front. No mutations or anything so far.

Hunny is way more of a pain as well, it doesn't seem to spawn at all unless you're completely inactive/in Sleep Mode. That's the only thing I haven't found a workaround for yet.

There is a Big Turnip sticker though.Just started Wonderland. Time to hopefully not fail at sleeping for the third day in a row.Edit: Just read up on Gardening, seems like I'm one sticker away from it getting interesting again. Damn, I bought my girlfriend this and she is in love, I've barely heard a peep out of her since Thursday haha. She liked it so much, she decided to brave the waters of youtube, which I think it's pretty cute haha, she does cross stitch videos, but never a video game so she must really love it. It's her first attempt at something like that, but if anyone's interested in it or just in the thread looking for gameplay to see if it's their thing, here you go:.Also, can you still visit people's cafes online? I think she was struggling figuring that out.
