🎵 But I'll never do it better than I do it with you
So long, so long
And I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love but I won't do that 🎵
In 1993, Meat Loaf released his recording of I Would Do Anything for Love. It was an amazing track. The music video, directed by Michael Bay, was a wild Beauty and the Beast story.
News / Pretendo Network: You can now StreetPass your 3DS friends from anywhere in the world!
Have you had trouble finding anyone to #StreetPass for Happy Home Showcase in New Leaf?
If you have, the team at @pretendo have just made it easier! With the latest version of Nimbus (which allows you to connect to the network), you're now able to StreetPass people online from anywhere in the world!
However, it's not that simple. Due to the buggy implementation of StreetPass for some games, you'll only be able to StreetPass people you've friended on your console (well that's 0 for me). It makes use of a feature called StreetPass Relay which was used at Nintendo Zones which allowed you to upload your data and download others.
I think I'll just stick to real StreetPasses for now though (I got 3 in the last year). Anyone reading from the South West or West Midlands?

Just want to end this post with a thank you to everyone supporting this account. This post is currently being scheduled a few weeks in advance (today's the 25th of April), but right now, I may possibly be preparing for GCSE exams since they start this week for me on Thursday. Seriously, thank you.
This past week's Music Monday Animal Crossing post was based on a suggestion from MDMRN Twin 2 after re-watching the IVE music video.
This week, the MDMRN Twins have suggested individually for me to remake in Animal Crossing either YooA's "Rooftop" (Twin 2) or Handsome Dancer's "Coincidance" (Twin 1).
Some form of remake of either COULD be doable in Animal Crossing, but we'll see. I'll have to think about those two options...or other things that pop into my head.
News / Weekly Event Outlook: Events in the Animal Crossing World taking place on 2024 Week 16
Sorry that I missed posting last week, I think I was a bit unorganized 😥. Pretty empty week unfortunately so just listen to a bunch of villager birthdays 😂.
Here's what's happening in the Animal Crossing world this week!
News / Nintendo Network Shutdown: Online services for the Wii U and 3DS has shut down
The time is up for online services for the #WiiU and #3DS consoles.
It is now April 9th at 1am BST, which means online services for both consoles are no longer available. This means you will be no longer able to splat anymore squids, challenge anyone to a Mario Kart race or even try to show off your bowling skills on official Nintendo servers on the #NintendoWiiU or #Nintendo3DS consoles.
To continue playing online services on both consoles, you will need to mod your consoles. Guides to do that are available on https://wiiu.hacks.guide and https://3ds.hacks.guide. After that, install @pretendo and follow the brilliant guides for installation for Wii U or 3DS. They cover everything you need to know about modding your console and getting Pretendo set up (I've helped add some commits to the Pretendo guide to make it easier to get started).
News / Events: April Fools Day is happening on Monday
Ready to get pranked?
Whether you're running into Blanka on the final days of Tortimer Island online or you're visiting Tortimer at the plaza, April Fools Day is happening on Monday!
Might go and experience it myself for the first time as well as exploring the last days on the island.
News / Nintendo Network Shutdown: Contribute SpotPass data now!
If you're familiar with the #WiiU and #3DS, you may know that SpotPass is one of the key components of the online services (particularly back when both consoles were still actively supported).
SpotPass will cease to exist once Nintendo Network shuts down and revival services such as @pretendo will need SpotPass data for some online services to function properly. Right now, data for SpotPass can be insufficient in places and in order to make sure it still works properly, they need your dumps.
If you have a unmodded/modded Wii U console or a modded 2DS/3DS console, please visit https://spotpassarchive.github.io/ to learn how to dump your data now. It's quick and easy to do and it won't take long. I did it personally myself last night
News / Sales: Animal Crossing New Horizons is discounted to £33.29 in Europe!
Just to let you all know, Nintendo has another sale going on in Europe. If you'd like to pick up New Horizons for the first time, it'll be discounted to £33.29 until April 7th!
I could be wrong but it looks like one of the first times that the Happy Home Paradise DLC is being discounted too, being reduced to £15.74.
Agnes believes we need to expand freedom and equality to the citizens of Moduland. She is proposing a complete sharing of all resources with all citizens and, using island resources, to establish of a gnome / gyroid sanctuary in the southeast portion of the island.
Walt came up second saying we need more food options. He said we just need a few more sweet shops, maybe a deli, and a ramen place. He then took a bites of the sandwich he brought.
Ankha then came out swinging saying that she needs Matt to completely clean up the southeast island and turn it into an adorable, beach resort area for all villagers to visit and relax.
Arthur just kind of sat there to, somehow, raucous applause that I don't know where it came from.
Even though Bunny Day and Cherry Blossom season do not overlap this year, this is just your yearly reminder that Bunny Day gets its own balloons that do not affect the spawning of the regular balloons. If there's something you're hoping to get from a balloon this week, Bunny Day is not the reason you aren't getting it. RNG is just a jerk all the time.
