|genre = Social simulation |modes = Single-player, multiplayer |platforms = Nintendo 3DS }} is a life simulation video game for the Nintendo 3DS console and the fourth main title in Nintendo's ''Animal Crossing'' series, where the player character lives in a rural village populated with anthropomorphic animals. In this installment, the player takes on the role of the town mayor instead of a normal villager. The game was first released on November 8, 2012, in Japan and was later released in North America, Europe and Australia in June 2013. The game has received very positive reviews, gaining aggregate scores of 88 and 86.93% on Metacritic and GameRankings, so far making it the highest rated game in the ''Animal Crossing'' series. ==Gameplay== Players take control of a villager who is moving into a new town. Upon arrival, however, the player is put in charge of the town as the mayor instead of being merely a resident. Like previous games in the series, the game revolves around the player as they explore their town, talk with other residents, and participate in various activities such as fishing and bug catching. Doing various activities or selling various items earns Bells which players can use to purchase various items such as furniture or clothes, or pay towards loans used to renovate their house. The game is played in real-time with Nintendo 3DS's internal clock, with aspects such as shop opening times, species of wildlife and special events varying depending on the time of day and season. ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'' introduces many new features to the series. Players will begin the game living in a tent, rather than a house, that will eventually be upgraded and expanded.〔 Customization, a major facet of the series, particularly in the player's ability to modify the character's appearance and furnish the living space, has also been enhanced. The character's pants can now be modified in addition to their shirt, shoes, hat, and accessory; and the ability to hang furniture on walls has been added. Features previously used in the Japanese exclusive ''Dōbutsu no Mori e+'' for the Nintendo GameCube, such as benches and lamp posts, which had been removed from following releases, have returned. Another addition is the new ability to swim in the ocean that borders the village. Players may visit each other's towns using the Nintendo Network and can be added to a friend's list that allows them to exchange messages with one another, while up to four players at a time can travel to the tropical Tortimer Island to take part in various minigames that award medals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Nintendo of America )〕 Players are also able to take snapshots at any time, which are saved to the Nintendo 3DS Camera and can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. The game features a new game mechanic that makes the player the town mayor, allowing them to have more customization of their town than in previous games. While taking part in mayoral duties is not obligatory to play the game,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Nintendo Europe )〕 being the head of town imparts two gameplay features new to the series: Public Works Projects and Ordinances. Public Works Projects allow players to collect funds from townsfolk and other visiting players to construct new objects such as bridges, fountains, and light poles, as well as add new facilities such as police stations and cafés.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What Are Public Works Projects? )〕 Ordinances gives players the ability to customize the way their town functions by passing laws, such as making the town more wealthy, encouraging citizens to plant more flowers, or making the shops open earlier or later.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What Are Ordinances? )〕 Only the first person to register a save file on each copy of the game will be able to become mayor, as subsequent save files will only be able to become villagers. ''New Leaf'' makes various uses of the Nintendo 3DS's features, some of which are made available as time passes. Players can visit other players' towns via local play or online with up to four friends (an optional club membership on Tortimer Island allows players to explore the island with other online players). A Dream Suite feature allows players to download dream versions of other people's towns to freely explore. The Happy Home Showcase allows players to view the homes of other players encountered on StreetPass, as well as order some of the furniture their house contains. A sewing machine allows players to create QR codes of their designs, which other players can download using the Nintendo 3DS's camera. Finally, Play Coins can be used to buy fortune cookies, which in turn can be exchanged for special prizes, such as rare items based on other Nintendo franchises. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Animal Crossing: New Leaf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
