Never played a full AC before but I was addicted to the mobile game for a couple of weeks.

I take it a full fat game is just a bigger and better version of the mobile game?

Also what U.K. time is this?

Trust me, the mobile game is nothing compared to the Full Animal Crossing experience.

I want to be excited for this game but I have this gut worry that they're going to botch this somehow. Like there will be a lot of microtransactions in the game, or it will be missing some key component the earlier games had that will be really disappointing like no museum or something. Hopefully this direct will lay my fears to rest.

Would just like to take a moment to appreciate how well my post from the speculation OT aged..

Anyways, I'm just excited to see/hear anything new about any upcoming title. I've never played Animal Crossing so I'm excited to pick up New Horizons.

Hopefully we don't have to wait too long to get a general direct and see what the rest of 2020 looks like.

On the 20th as expected. I'm glad Nintendo waited until the afternoon to post the announcement just to mess with people

Next time They should tweet this sunday, just to completely end patterns once and for all.

I'm not sure this was worth endless threads of people going out of their minds but I'm interested to see what's in this short video about Animal Crossing so I'll watch it. Can people calm down now? There was a guy in the last thread who was taking a break from the forum because he was upset about having to make a video about drinking his own piss for Pete's sake.

I wonder how much the AC fanbase will grow because of the Switch. I hope the game turns out great, looks very fun and relaxing so far.

No predictions, anybody? Ok, I'll go. A mixture of serious and sarcastic ones:

- You can craft anything, including outer facade decor of your house. Wanna add some bell towers to it? Go ahead.
- Tortimer is dead. There's a tomb of him on the island. You can desecrate it.
- Golf carts. Mother flipping golf carts.
- You can build treehouse over some trees. Make it either a man cave or a she shed.
- K.K. Mumble rap
- Police station is not just a lost and found office now. Copper and Booker can arrest you if you hit your neighbors behind and block you from playing for a whole day.
- Homo Habilis fossils to be dug. Yeah it's possible to find humanoid skulls if you dig the marked points.
- Tax. There is tax in Animal Crossing now and if you don't pay it in time Lyle can repossess your stuff, starting with the rarest and most valuable.
- Brewster runs a night bar in the island and you can make some sick cocktails using the exotic fruit you grow. Just don't drink and drive golf carts or Booker will bust your ass.

Guess we can throw in another announcement time for future direct speculation.

Excited for more AC info though.

I guess this is their last chance to tell me why this isn't the last 3 animal crossing games.
I would like to be excited for this game.

It was so obvious since Nintendo makes Direct from major releases, and AC had Direct before so... no surprise here. Still waiting for the big direct

Shame it'll air at such a bad time for me (1 AM); i've stayed up for other directs before but this time i'm fine with just catching up on the news in the morning.
