To me, it is because I want to see more games like this coming overseas. so I will get as soon as I can.
Good point. I still wish that more games like Chibi-Robo would get made (I think Skip is mostly the developer for those games, but I still like their games - I even own Giftpia for GC and Captain Rainbow for Wii that never got localized).Like the poster above, I think if you have interest, buy it. Show Nintendo that quirky Japanese games do have a market here.
Imports & exports are for the full game only. The demo only unlocks the apartments, food mart, town hall, beach, photo sharing, and a preview of the concert hall (so they only sing part of one song).Depending on if the demo does Streetpass, I may have codes to give. I just don't want to waste a code to find out if it doesn't.
Edit: Also, I might make a page like I did for Disney Magical World where people could put their island address.
I can see my island address when I go to the office, but I don't think it serves a purpose in the move-in version.
