 * Tortimer has now retired,and hosts multiplayer minigames that can be played locally,or over Nintendo Network.
 * In other Animal Crossing games, you did not have any oppurtunity to choose your town's Layout. But in New Leaf, you can select which format you want, giving greater oppurtunity for further town personalization.
 * New characters and villagers are included, for example, the secretary, Isabelle, and Soleil, a Snooty villager.
 * There is a new personality, called Uchi.  Uchi villagers are very caring towards the player and are less vain than the Snooty or Peppy villagers, but they are also more blunt and tomboyish and may come across as rude on some occasions. Uchi villagers normally wake up at 11 AM and sleep at 3AM, and there are 21 of them. Sometimes, other villagers may refer to them by male pronouns. They are exclusively female.
 * You can travel from your town to an island via Kapp'n's boat. THis is where certain villages live, and where Kapp'n's family live.
 * In City Folk, Kapp'n was a bus driver. In Wild World, he was the taxi driver that brought the Player to the Village. But in New Leaf, he's a captain on a boat again who sings songs for you, but he does not take you to your new town.
