I know that Famitsu apparently gave ANB an 8/8/8/8, but are there any other scores or actual reviews out there? I tried searching for some in Japanese, but came up with nothing I know the game sold so many copies in one week, but that's not really an indicator of how good it actually is. So if any of you have any links, or you just remember, could you please let me know how well recieved the game was? I'm just really curious to know if it's considered better than the other DS titles
Well, the people on this forum who imported it certainly seem to like it. It looks great too, and it was playable at E3, and the reports of the people who played it there were mostly positive.
So overall, the game sounds like it will be great. ^^
Like I said before, ANB sound like a step in the right direction for HM! Can't wait for it, but I'm gonna be so disappointed if it doesn't come out in Oct...
When it comes to HM games, I typically look here for what other users think, rather than professionals. I'm not sure why, but I feel like my peers would know what I'm looking for more than somebody getting paid to critique.
Anyways, from what many users here have stated, it looks much better than a few past titles from HM. I'm really excited for this game and hope it comes out soon~

This.
Even for movies, I prefer to hear my friend's opinions.
I've heard this game is really fun though. Those who have it seem to like it
A friend of mine did press at E3 this year, and he had a chance to play it, and he said it's the best one he's play yet, but again, opinions will be opinions, we wont see an official us review until maybe a few weeks before it comes out, I know in gameinformer they review games before they come out, so some might have an idea what to expect. I'm pretty sure it will be out in October, the Nintendo rep that comes into my gs confirmed animal crossing, luigis mansion, and paper mario for holiday releases too, and said that HM is for sure going to come out this year. I know it's not been confirmed by Natsume yet, but usually when gs as a SD next to a title, it means it will be out that day, very rarely do I see SDs being moved, unless the company is infamous for it, like konami (castlevania games rarely ever come out when they are said to), TTOTT never had an exact SD in the system for the 3ds, it did for the ds version, and the 3ds version was pushed back about a month and a half I do believe, but like I said, it never had a confirmed SD in the system. I'm confident that it will be out october 23rd, and it hasn't moved from that date yet, whereas castlevania has. But I guess we'll see.
It's not bad. I find there is a lack of direction in the game. Nothing really to work for. Building the town is more of a waiting game and having money or effective farming doesn't speed it up. There is also a lack of anything to really buy (like upgrades or the like). I find this doesn't encourage any real farming.
Still, its a fun game and I enjoyed the first few seasons a lot.
