Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct - Feb 20 @ 9am ET

What shop is that?

Click to shrink...

Almost certain it's an upgraded version of the Nook shop. Even though it's bigger, you can tell it's the Nook shop because the bin on the left side of the building, the bulletin board on the right side of the building, and the bucket to the right of the building.

 

[Dee Dee]

I THINK the upgrade from tent to house is 98,000 Bells which is... alot lol

Click to shrink...

Buckle up and farm that weed.

I'm 99% sure you don't need to have Pocket Camp installed. It's a cross-game promotion like Mario Run and Pocket Camp was, but you didn't have to have both, you just got the items in whichever game you did have. Mobile games do this all the time, and that's how it always works.

Click to shrink...

GOOD.

Y'all just let them be, clearly baiting at this point.

Click to shrink...

I already saw him having some weird bait takes on other threads yeah.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Dark Themes!

 

[totofogo]

Also be sure to check out animalcrossing.com, there are a ton of new details and videos there, the museum video is wild because the villager is wearing a metal band's t-shirt with a giant skull on it

Click to shrink...

* animal-crossing.com, haha. The domain without a dash is up for auction.

 

[Yinyangfooey]

it's so dumb. i want to get the new ac flavour switch but i can't for a few months because i'm trying to save money. but the fact that i cannot transfer my ac game save means that i will literally never buy a new switch (what if it actually breaks and i really do need to transfer the save?)

Click to shrink...

you're shit out of luck then! thank u nintendo

 

[Atheerios]

nvm

 

[ned_ballad]

I would have liked a feature to unlock the ability to use classic music from the GCN, DS/Wii and 3DS games.

That would have been nice, although not really needed or anything

WTF lmao !!!

 

[Zacmortar]

I'm always a little disappointed people just want more control in video games, can't ever appreciate the small things.

Click to shrink...

grow up

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I mean there has to be a better option then listening to someone stutter baby noises like I'm playing Banjo and it's 1996.

Click to shrink...

Would you give Banjo real voice acting if you could?

 

[Rust]

Hey guys, I think my copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons is busted

I keep tapping my Amiibo card of Joan on there and she doesn't appear on my island

Oh gosh, Isabelle and Daisy Mae have just started crying

... oh no

 

[Meelow]

Click to shrink...

I wonder who will be the first ERA member to upgrade to a house.

 

[Asbsand]

It's more like "Don't like vehicles in Battlefield? Well then just don't get in them"

Click to shrink...

Well yeah, that is a much better analogy I will admit, and it also describes what I feel is a valid criticism.

 

[Crashman]

For those who don't pay off their debts:

We dark now.

I hope that Panel de Pon mini-game from New Leaf comes back. I really wanted to play it, but could never get lucky and get it/didn't get the amiibo that would bring a villager with it.

 

[Boogiepop]

So, is swimming out? Was surprised not to see it in the Direct alongside all the other expected stuff.

 

[--R]

You can't make the patterns in-game. Have to use the app or 3DS.

Click to shrink...

You can make patterns in-game.

 

[Kouriozan]

I think a lot of people probably know what they want. I've been waiting for full town customization like this since the series' inception and I felt like the games were getting stale and not progressing enough until now.

Game looks dope and finally giving me enough juice to where I can see myself playing for a loooong time.

Click to shrink...

Yep, no more new villagers ruining your perfectly placed roads, no more new building being 100% random, in New Leaf they never asked me for a police station and I hate this so much.

 

[Delphine]

This is my desk right now, in honor of Reese, my fave AC character, you'll always be loved sweet princess, even if Nintendo snubs you, forever in mah kokoro!

 

[Lozjam]

Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Animal Crossing culture (I'm an expert), but lack of options are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Sims or Halo where you can become successful by being an asshole, and having options. If you screw someone over by adding optional content, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the Animal Crossing fans, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase New Horizon, nor will they purchase any of Nintendo's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Nintendo has alienated an entire market with this move.

Nintendo, publicly apologize and cancel fun and customizability for Animal Crossing or you can kiss your business goodbye.

 

[Milennia]

This might be the hardest month long wait I've experienced in maybe 3 years
At least I'm getting the new switch on the 13th to bide some time

 

[Teriyaki Blues]

Click to shrink...

Not only can you make patterns in the game, you can make them with transparency now. Look more closely please.

 

[ned_ballad]

I legitimately forgot this was a feature

 

[Thera]

I love the "new optionnal thing is bad" take...

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I mean there has to be a better option then listening to someone stutter baby noises like I'm playing Banjo and it's 1996.

Click to shrink...

Yes, I am also worried the hardcore rated m for mature game known as Animal Crossing is too babyish.

 

[MaitreWakou]

I wonder who will be the first ERA member to upgrade to a house.

Click to shrink...

Pretty sure a lot of us will have the house already built on day 2.
Catch a lot of fish and there you go. Not like there's a lot of things to do on day 1 anyway, we'll all be fishing all day :p

 

[srtrestre]

Dark Themes!

"You Died" being photoshopped in in 3, ,2, 1..."

 

[kvetcha]

This looks amazing.

It's an app on the Nook phone in game. We know it since E3.

Ya'll already know somebody on ERA is gonna literally play this game nonstop and upgrade their house within a week lol

 

[Nambu]

RIP my Bells/wallet.

Click to shrink...

Woah, woah, woah!

I can make Bells like a pro, but this new terraforming feature(which I love btw) is gonna cost bank.

 

[Zacmortar]

you're shit out of luck then! thank u nintendo

Click to shrink...

this is obnoxious as hell

nintendo fanboys literally praising them for disappointing people about a feature that is arbitrarily stolen from them that they literally pay for is just gross

 

[Deleted member 32106]

Animals mumble are differences between Japanese and English.

 

[Aleh]

One thing I believe we haven't seen is shrubs, they must be back right? They were amazing in New Leaf

 

[Meelow]

The videos on the New Horizons website! The Museum looks freaking amazing!

Oh, hard to tell sometimes lol

 

[Santar]

It looked good, love the warm visual style of it.
A bit weird that seasonal updates, something that's been in every Animal Crossing game now wil be added as free updates later on.
I really hope they are just that, game updates, and not a server side check every Halloween to activate the event. If it's the latter I'll be skipping this game as I loathe unnecessary online connectivity in games.
