Animal Crossing DS: get used or new?

warriorcat_girl · Feb 7, 2009

My dad only uses Amazon instead of Ebay, so that's the only online retailer I could get ACWW for my DS. To get it new would be around $30 and up (right now I only have around $22. It takes me AGES to save) but I COULD get it used for around $20 except I would only get the cartridge, but no case and no instructions. Is the game easy to figure out how to play? Cause if so, then I can just get the game cartridge and pay less than I would to get the case and instructions too. So, Animal Crossing fans of TamaTalk, a little advice would be highly appreciated. =D

When I got animal crossing, I only had the cartridge, but I managed to work out the controls because when you start the game, you have to do some jobs for a guy called Tom Nook, who works in a shop on the game. However, I do not recommend buying used off amazon, because you don't get to see the item until to arrives though the mail, and there is a very slight chance you might accidently buy a fake (It happened to an ex-user on here) so it would be a good idea to save up for a new one, unless you want it badly.

Hope I helped.

You don't really need the instructions.

As TamaPhantom said, it's pretty easy to work out how to play the game and which buttons do what. There's also plenty of stylus play which means you don't need to figure anything out at all!

There's also sites like GameFaQ which have some very good "Wild World/DS walk throughs" - I recommend anything that a guy called Liquefy has written - everything he writes is researched and checked - not just rumor.

As for Amazon there's not much more risk in buying a fake than ebay really.

Look at the ratings, ask questions - maybe even ask to see a pic?

If you get a fake it's just really unlucky.

I've bought plenty of stuff from both ebay and Amazon and I think it is just bad luck if you get scammed

Thanks a bunch from the both of you. ^^ I'll see about the reviews and ratings for the sellers on Amazon and maybe I can get it used. Really really appreciate it! Thank you again!
