I remember my stepson buying Animal Crossing for his GC. Since you could have 4 players, he convince myself and his mom to play with him. Within a few weeks he was bored of it and never played again (he was 12 and did not like reading), but the wife and I were hooked on trying to collect all the stuff, meet all the visitors, experience all the events, etc. We continued to play for a just over a year. When the DS version came out, we both played it for about 4 months, at which point I stopped, but my wife kept on playing with friends online which really maintained her interest.
IF the 3DS version has expanded the game play and the experience, I would be very tempted to pick it up on day one. IF it is the same basic game with 3D effects, I will probably pass.
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, always assume you have the upper hand.
