the worst part is my little brother has a copy sitting right next to him
it's just torture
though i'm also forcing said torture until myself, as i purchased the New Leaf 3DS XL bundle for my mother (early surprise birthday present) and we both (sibling and me) are not going to play until it arrives (4-7 days ;_;). she is also in hysterics over the wait (her birthday is at the end of the month and she's a big AC-fan), but at least she'll be surprised when she gets it early and we all play the new game together
