Animal Crossing: Wild World for the Nintendo DS – Red Tulip Glitch

Some rebels have been reporting that Nintendo has sent them another gift in Animal Crossing Wild World today when they connected online. But this time, it looks like Nintendo made a big mistake and is sending a bugged item that could actually screw your house and/or village completely.

From what people have been reporting, you’re receiving a letter from _blank_, marked as “From ” containg a gift named “Red Tulips”. The letter contains no content whatsoever and has no closing. The item shows up as a piece of furniture (green leef) and this is where the fun begins…

If you drop this piece of furniture in your house, it’ll be an “invisible” item that you can still walk over, but not put anything over it, nor push any other piece of furniture over it neither. You basically “lose” a space on your floor, not being able to pick the item back up. If you drop it outside, it’ll automaticly plant itself as a tree sprout, wherever you are; sand, ground, concrete, bridge, etc. There’s also some people saying that if you drop the item onto a table, the table will stay there forever. Just be careful and maybe keep this letter in your inventory for now until you get the full details about what to do with it. (* note that you can also sell it to Nook with no problem whatsoever)

Overall summary:

• Do not drop the item in your house;
• Do not drop the item outside your house;
• If you did drop it, do not save your game and face Mr. Resetti

When Nintendo was contacted about this issue, this is what they had to day:

“I called customer service and the representative said that the Red Tulip thing was not a glitch, but an unfinished letter that was accidentally sent out. They’re working on a fix for people that accidentally put it in their homes”
