Disney Magical World 2 – Christmas is here!

11 / 11 / 16

I mean, technically it’s actually a month and a half away, but despite that Disney Magical World 2 now has up their Christmas Decorations!





Now, if you’re new here, you may not realize something very important: I love Christmas. A lot of people are more about Halloween. I do not care much about Halloween. Christmas is my thing.

I love cute fancy Christmas dresses, baking fresh cookies, decorating the tree, drinking a warm drink (Hot Chocolate, Apple Cider, Tea…) in front of a fireplace. Ignoring that I do not currently have a fireplace in my home (which is a crime and is a requirement when we eventually have the funds to get our own place) and I can not keep a Christmas tree up 24/7 (which I am totally doing once I can), Christmas is just the season that keeps me feeling warm and fuzzy inside. I love the snow, I love singing Christmas songs, I love looking at the Christmas lights. Christmas is just an incredibly important time of year for me so even if DMW2 has it pretty early, seeing all the decorations up is super exciting.

Between ACNL and Pokemon Moon (ONE WEEK TO GO!), I’m a bit nervous about managing to keep up with it to get enough medals and catch everything. I’m going to do my best though. At the very least, I got to make all the new dishes:



And even threw a Christmas Party (Now if only it featured one of my favorite Disney Christmas songs):

I’ll be doing my best to earn everything else too :D

Miitomo’s Update & ACNL Town Anniversary Event

11 / 10 / 16

So, to my surprise, the big Miitomo update came out today. I wasn’t expecting it out until December, but honestly, this was such a good thing to receive as it’s helped me really clear my mind tonight which I needed. For those unaware of the update, it is a huge update that is required to even play and adds tons of new features such as:
-The ability to send private messages to friends
-The ability to customize the wallpaper and flooring of your room along with adding posters.
-A new Style thingy where you can see various people’s outfits that you can favorite and even purchase items from (Except for Miitomo Drop/special event ones)

And it’s just a really good update. There are also login bonuses for the first week of the update along with various Collaboration Miitomo Drops making a return and special Wallpaper and Flooring you can get right now just for playing and trying the new features.

That said, I do have some issues with it. Such as the fact that wallpapers and flooring change daily and are only through Miitomo Drop. I’ve already explained in the past how the daily feature sucks without the incentive of still being able to get things later (due to it becoming part of your shop’s inventory) like Tomodachi Life and making Interior Design both exclusive to the Daily system AND a Miitomo Drop is pretty frustrating. While it’s only 4 different ones per drop, it’s still pretty frustrating and I used up about half of my saved up tickets just to get the flooring and wallpaper I wanted most (And still haven’t managed to get the other flooring and wallpaper I really wanted). Despite it seeming like you can only use coins from the banner, you can use tickets for it as well.

One of the nice new additions with Miitomo Drop is you can now immediately pick Candy as an option if you win an item you don’t want rather than it requiring you to have at least one color of the item before you can choose candy.

Another odd and somewhat frustrating choice is that all rooms are now reset to a default green wallpaper and flooring. I think either letting people pick a simple plain color for wallpaper and flooring and/or letting people keep what they had before would’ve been a lot nicer. Many people did like that they had and having to re-earn it really stinks. Similarly, while each personality type had a bit of a unique furniture selection before, now everyone has the exact same things–some plants, a desk, a bookshelf, and some pillows. They don’t do anything. You can’t customize them in any way (there is no furniture at all–hopefully that might change in the future)… The only customization besides the wallpaper and flooring comes in the form of posters. You receive one poster slot free which lets you put a poster in 1 or 8 different areas of the room.

You can use an existing Miifoto, make a Miifoto just for the poster on the spot, or use a photo saved on your device. You can even use transparent pictures.

Unfortunately, while the first poster slot is free, every other spot costs 99 cents to unlock so it’s about $7 to unlock all 8. While I was happy with one or two at first, I ended up eventually unlocking them all once I realized that they show up behind the comments on your questions which just makes it look super pretty:

Some transparent poster examples:

I did have issues with some posters though, such as this Miifoto which came out super Saturated.
miitomoupdate5
It ended up looking fine in a different position though:
miitomoupdate6

And there was no issue with a different picture I put up in its old place:
miitomoupdate7

Moving on, while I don’t believe this is new, I ended up noticing there is actually a Tuck in or out outfit so yay for more outfit combos:
miitomoupdate9 miitomoupdate8

Finally, heading over to New Leaf, as most of you may know, I’ve been trying to get my date back to normal. It’s been going pretty poorly and I only finally hit June today… of 2015 still. I’ve gotten about 2 months along so far and hopefully I can start picking the pace up a bit. Regardless, I ended up hitting the anniversary of my town (even if it is technically a year behind) and a new Special Event triggered. It’s really cute, though, I had gotten my hopes up for all 10 of my Villagers showing up due to Isabelle’s dialogue when it wasn’t even close to that… Not to mention a random special villager seems to show up as well (besides Isabelle :P) which also caught me off-guard. Despite those issues, it’s genuinely a very cute event:



And the item you get is absolutely adorable:

I’m looking forward to see if there are any differences when I end up triggering it again as I make my way to November 2016.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Redecorating and having fun~

11 / 7 / 1611 / 7 / 16

Right now, besides getting items for my catalog, I’ve been doing various adjustments to all many of the rooms on each of my villagers. Most are receiving very small changes:

But a few have gotten some bigger changes thanks to the lovely Sanrio items someone was nice enough to give me!:




The Sanrio items are ADORABLE and I really love a lot of them. The outfits are so cute too:

I definitely want to find more places to put them, but I’m especially happy with Emi’s sky room. I feel like a lot of people missed the theme with that one a bit and I feel it’s a lot more apparent now. I think I’m going to add the Kiki and Lala Clock to the room too. I also think the My Melody Dress is perfect for Seamstry and looks way better than the Maid Dress did.

I’ve also updated another museum room:

Besides that, I have been working on more of the minigame playing. I’ve managed to get two items from Desert Island Escape so far and even several items from Puzzle League after finally finishing it:

On a different note, there’s just so many new small charming things in the game, like bird feeding:


It’s so so so cute. Plus the dancing at the Bonfire:

And Harvey’s set-up in the rain:

It’s just so much fun to discover new little things again.

I have been trying to scan in more Amiibo occasionally too. The monster hunter stuff seems especially popular:

And a friend scanned in Timmy & Tommy:

Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Too much to do ;~;

11 / 4 / 1611 / 7 / 16

So, I’ve been mostly posting on my main AC blog for update related posts and have already posted two entries, but after a poll on Twitter it seems crossposting them is the most popular option so I will be doing so starting with this one!

First up, I took some time to try the new puzzle league mode.

I… really don’t like Puzzle League. Unfortunately, there are items attached to it and I kind of really want to beat the story mode. Of the items, I want the Nintendo 3DS ones (The Station and Display), the Flower Fairy Boots, and the Flower Fairy Wand the most. I wouldn’t mind the Flower Fairy dress and wig too though.


I can’t even beat the second stage and my score for the first minigame in Puzzle League is terrible.

Essentially, to get all the items you need to finish story mode, get a lot of combos, and get fairly high scores in each of the minigames (You can find more details Here) and I just am failing miserably at it. I don’t even consider games like these puzzle games. Puzzle games to me are like… Professor Layton–not this :(

Island Escape also apparently has items tied to it–11 of them (though, nobody has figured out what. Similarly, there are apparently about 775 new items in the game now. I’m stressing, for the record). I’ll probably be putting a lot of time into this because at least I’m not completely awful at it.

In the meantime, I’ve moved my Catalog list over here as it’s just quicker to update and then it’s right on the homepage. But yes, going over to other things done…

I took a stop to Nintendo’s New Dream Village which you can visit at 0000-000F-4241. It was so nice to see so many of the new items and villagers so just a few of the (many) photos I took:




I also love how Wisp takes place of characters when they are camping:

As you can probably tell, I brought Celeste in for her lovely bow:

Finally, there are now anniversary gifts–I love how nice the model tree looks in my Model room:

I look forward to when I get there as I [slowly] fix my date.

Help me get/Catalog some items! (Animal Crossing: New Leaf)

11 / 2 / 1611 / 2 / 16

So, as already mentioned on my New Leaf blog, the update hit today! I’m both excited and stressed beyond reason, but I’m still enjoying myself.

At the moment, I’ll be honest and say I’m not sure how often I will post much about it. I also don’t know if I will just put them in my New Leaf blog, post them here, or even post to both (if anyone has a preference, let me know). There’s about 2-3 things I can think of posting, but other than that, I don’t expect to make tons of updates.

Regardless, there’s a lot of new items–many from Happy Home Designer and some that are in Fortune Cookies and to put it bluntly, I am looking to catalog everything I can.

I do not currently have a full list of all the items (I don’t want to just list Happy Home Designer exclusive ones as there’s no guarantee they will all be), but just from what I saw, items I know I will actually want to keep:
Labrador
Dachshund
Chihuahua
Wii U

3DS
Wendell’s Painting
The Zelda Treasure Chest
The Fancy Tea Set
Super Sea Snail (possibly two)
Cuckoo (Possibly 2)
Cupcake
Celeste’s Bow

All help is appreciated <3 I don't really have any items to offer, but I have more bells than I know what to do with. If anyone is interested in helping, just let me know <3 Thank you.

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer – Challenge 14!

11 / 1 / 16

So, it’s the first of the month which means new Happy Home Challenge! It seems once again we will be getting at least one old item so we’ll see how this goes. Personally, I’ll probably TRY to keep doing them until the themes I’ve done before rotate back in with no new items.

Theme: A bit of old, a bit of new.



Rating Address: 0393-5762-085

Sadly, looks like no new items. And I still hate how we’re forced to use both items inside X__x I still mostly managed to get what I hoped for based on the theme at least.

On a brighter note, the Animal Crossing direct is tomorrow at 10AM EST!! I can’t wait. I’m going to do my best to play more Happy Home Designer up to the New Leaf update (I’d say more New Leaf, but I genuinely have nothing left to do unless you want to see me water my flowers).

Disney Magical World 2 – All 130 Stickers complete.

10 / 27 / 1610 / 27 / 16

So, I finally managed to get all of the Bonus Stickers. They went fast for the most part as a lot I hit immediately or knew what to do to quickly get them. I just wish the reward was better I guess? Besides the crowns/gift boxes, you just get this message in the end:

And I liked being able to have a special photo and stuff like the last game did (Credits were at like 77 Stickers or something) versus a message I’ll probably never see again. It’s a very cute message though.

Speaking of messages I’ll never see again, upon maxing my Cafe and talking to my manager, I got this:

Unfortunately, I hadn’t expected her to go into a big speech after hitting Level 30 for my Cafe. I had finished recording and was checking with her to put up new dishes before I went to bed so I was hitting A thinking it was the same dialogue and NOPE. I’ll be kicking myself for a while :(

Moving onto some happier things, I’ve been working hard on my collections. For the most part, it seems what items I have left are Vendor/Scrooge’s Shop exclusive OR are from other holidays/events. There are some that come from quests though–I need to hope that Sally will give me the quest for the Pumpkin King Portrait soon. I wish those were set to always come up first until you got them. So for now, after making what I can, I decided to work on throwing parties for all the frames:






And thus, lots of dreams:





















I also started working on finishing all the episodes. I still had Castleton’s, Wonderland’s, and Atlantica’s to go.

It’s nice having them done, honestly. Even if I have to keep grinding some of them…

And I finished with my permanent cafe layouts, house, and room stuff for now :) As long as I don’t end up liking any seasonal stuff more–you can find those in my game log page!

Finally, I did manage to make all the dishes I have though so I’m ready for the future seasonal ones:



And well, it gets long so…

Disney Magical World 2 – 100+ Stickers!!

10 / 24 / 16

So, I did my very first stream for the game last night and it went pretty well :) I definitely may try and stream it again and just such a huge thank you to everyone who watches the videos on Youtube. Also a thank you to everyone reading here! This is definitely where to go if you want to see more of my thoughts :P

Taking off from where we last left off, I was working on getting invitations to the other balls:

I also took some time to work on the other Lilo and Stitch episodes:

I struggled a few times to get Gold with the Normal Difficulty, but actually did perfect on the Difficult one on my first try. I really hated re-fighting the boss, but with that done it was off to Atlantica:

I enjoy the Little Mermaid a lot, but it really confuses me about where exactly this takes place. Everything else is clearly after the movies except for this one.

I absolutely adored the Concert episode–I want more episodes like this over Battle system:



I then decided to host a Nightmare before Christmas Party as the last items I need for that set are from quests from Jack and Sally:

I also held a Little Mermaid party:

And it makes no sense she is swimming in it. The bubbles are an effect. None of this makes sense in any way.

I really wish the Gold Frame Dreams were more unique over just some new interactions on the same stage. I did love this piano though:

I loved the Little Mermaid dream:

The Sleeping Beauty one was kind of lame though.


I mean, I guess the Maleficient fight was cool, but it just felt kind of underwhelming overall.

Nightmare Before Christmas’ was… interesting.

After enough procrastination, it was onto Wonderland.

I hate Wonderland. Like ignoring that I don’t care for the movie/story, the world is frustrating, I’m not a big fan of any of the characters (Alice would be my favorite by default but would not be close to any characters I really like), and it just has some of the worst ghosts and still the same ear-piercing 10 second loop of pain for its music.

After suffering for a bit, I headed back to the Hundred Acre Wood as I finally got the Cookie Barley for Kanga and could continue the quests. First Pooh and I went to gather Honey for the Hunny Party…

And then we finally had it:

I then decided to work on Cafe Requests some more and finally held a Pirate Party:

And finally got the Big Turnip Sticker:

It was then back to Wonderland where I completely called Imposter-me would end up being the Boss of this World:

I then headed back to the Hundred Acre Wood to continue getting some new things harvested:

To further procrastinate heading back to Wonderland, I decided to go finish off the Frozen post-boss quests.

Then it was off to host more parties for Cafe Request completion.



After enough procrastination, it was back off to Wonderland.

Even my character doesn’t want to be here. And as predicted, this was the boss fight:

The boss fight was actually pretty fun though–it had a bit of a puzzle element to it and it helped make it much less frustrating.

With that, I got my 100th sticker!

And unlocked even more stickers to collect and the lovely credits roll.

And then we ended the day with a Halloween Party:

Next goals are to get all the new stickers and finish all the episodes :)

Disney Magical World 2 – All QRs and AR Cards

Disney Magical World 2 – Up to 91 Stickers!

10 / 20 / 16

One of the things I find myself having the hardest time with is just really keeping up with everything–even though I’m at 91 Stickers, I still have the Post-World episodes, some of the high level main episodes, I am no where close at crafting the better things, failing at fishing (I still need so much), and haven’t done much of anything in the worlds for The Little Mermaid and Alice in Wonderland. I’m hoping to get the Little Mermaid’s main episode story done today.

I don’t know if I’d necessarily say the game is more challenging overall (certain aspects definitely though), but just very overwhelming. I feel like I’ve gotten no where yet in some way, I’m almost done which is baffling.

If there is one thing I realized with this game though, I do think it’d be immensely better without the Ghosts in it. The combat is dumb, it’s not very fun, it’s repetitive and kind of boring (even the new challenges get old fast), and I have a much more enjoyable time with nearly every single other thing. I like the dancing and just hanging out and doing favors and the Hundred Acre Wood and Snow White’s World are just so nice and enjoyable and even some of the other worlds have episodes that just let you breathe from “keep spamming A and twirling”.

The Ghosts are uncreative, frustrating, and I just don’t feel they add anything. This conflict isn’t even needed–you could still go up a mountain and investigate lost mail without having to defeat ghosts along the way. Like I find the episodes where I’m not doing some stupid dungeon grind so much more fulfilling.

But yes, moving onto playing recently, I feel like I’m not accomplishing much, but am earning stickers anyway. I do think I’ll probably finish earning the 100 before I get even close to being done with the game. That is probably a good thing though.

After doing enough dancing at the Ballroom, I finally got the item I needed for Owl:

Unfortunately, my progress in this world was paused immediately again with the next episode as Kanga wants something from Wonderland and I’m not even touching Wonderland until I finish The Little Mermaid because I hate Wonderland so much. X__x

I then went off to work on getting the other balls unlocked and started up an Aladdin Party. “It’s Showtime” has to be one of my favorite songs–it’s so catchy.

And of course, this unlocked another Ball:

And unlocking my 5th got me a Sticker :D

I then continued working on Snow White’s World and unlocked the Rainbow Cavern!:

And became Sneaky the Dwarf apparently.

Meanwhile, over in Frozen’s World we built a Snowman.

And after meeting with Marshmallow and beating the Frozen World Boss…

We came back to some new Snowpeople based off us (because our Snowman had to go get possessed

I then held my first Frozen Party to unlock the Frozen Ball:

I also got to have my very first Golden Dream Parade which had different activities despite being the same setting.

After that, I mostly just worked on grinding up more materials and working on my Fish Collection. I’m hoping to start the Little Mermaid world soon and also host a Snow White Party which is the last Ball I need to unlock. I also got John’s cute Teddybear:

But I think I’ll stick with the UniBEARsity one for now. I also finally got my Cherry blossom sparkles so yay :D

Finally, Nintendo updated their website with some Halloween themed items you can scan in from a QR code so be sure to do that if you haven’t yet!
