Announced as part of the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, designer Katsuya Eguchi said the delayed release was due to localisation.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf sees players become the mayor of their own town, giving them options to change the town’s layout or set shop prices and closing times.

Expanded customisation features let players create their own patterns for clothing and for the first time also use those patterns for furniture, such as the quilt on a bed. A new tropical island will be available, where players can find new items and wildlife, as well as make use of the new swimming feature.
