Even the box looks amazing! Did the system allow it to go through or did you need a manager override?
yeah that's still fairly abusable since most of your time will be out on the field and otherwise you can do whatever before transitioning to a new room.
I'm holding off on pre ordering just in case Nintendo randomly announces the return of vouchers before it comes out.
Yup this is the AC Horizons hangout spot. Its pretty chill here but still full of hype.
Yep, just like the other Switch game bundles
.... oh wait.
Yup, the Era AC Discord is pretty active too. There's an invite link somewhere in this thread and in the AC Hangouts OT. And you can join the Turnip/Flower/Fruit Tracker too if you want to go ham on the Stalk Market and gardening with us at release.

Oh i didn't mean money, just growing hybrids. But there's a chance flowers will be more profitable this time around. The price of weeds is like 60 bells in NH, where basic flowers were just 40 in past games. So they probably will be worth more in NH too.
But more importantly you can harvest flowers buds without losing the flower itself. That means if Blue Roses are worth 2k bells again or more you can sell the flower part while the stalk will remain and a new bloom will appear again after some point. Whereas before you had to sell the entire flower and hope for you hybrid setup to produce a new one.
Yes just like every other AC console bundle being sold in other regions.
We're only 9-10 days away from the OT but until then, this is indeed the place to be!
Oh shit, they finally added farming like I had always dreamed :D
I know its not exactly, but I'll take it
I'm interested in the limits on terraforming. Like, I suspect you can't flood the entire town with water.
I also wonder to what degree you could reshape or remove the river... would they let you just totally fill it all in? Also the cliffs can you just get rid of them all or do some always stay behind? It'l be interesting to see for sure.
Nintendo knows this game is gonna get downloaded like crazy so they dont offer the usual download coin bonus on Eshop 😭
I spent so much time trying to get a blue rose in New Leaf and it never happened. I was meticulous in putting the right flowers next to each other on my private beach, so I could be certain that the red roses were indeed of proper origin, and I set up cluster after cluster after cluster of them all over the rest of the beach, and I stopped watering any other flowers, and I time traveled day after day for months of in-game time doing nothing but flower maintenance... and still the blue rose never populated. It was so demoralizing.
I just moved all my flowers to the beach in big X patterns and ended up getting pretty much every colour hybrid possible. I had so many orange roses and blue tulips as those are my favourite two, can't wait to get those again in New Horizons. I remember I was trying to get a black pansy to grow for ages... atleast that's what I think it was, it's been a while now.
64 pages? Damn, ya'll are hype. I have a Switch, but never played a Animal Crossing game before. I'm not even sure what the game is or about. Anyone have one of those neat, and well put together Youtube videos that explains the series?
I have looked myself, but there are a lot to choose from and this place knows quality :)

I just had to come in here and point this out. Blue Tulips are Pocket Camp exclusive only. Not in ACNL.
ACNL do not have blue tulips. Or a black pansy. You're thinking of the purple pansy. Purple pansy takes forever to grow too but had better odds of spawning than the blue rose for sure.
Just want to clarify this. Carry on.
Anyone know if Best Buy is sending out digital codes already or not? I've read that some retailers already sent out codes and people have been able to pre-load, but I didn't know if Best Buy was among them. I was hoping to snag the Bell Bag bundle but I want to have the game at midnight so I can't count on waiting for them to email it on release day.
Edit: nvm, I was able to dig through this thread and saw people saying they were sending codes. Game's currently downloading on my Switch rn!

How would y'all rank your hype for these things:
a.) Clothes + character decoration
b.) Furniture + house decoration
c.) Villager interaction
d.) Terraforming + outside decoration
e.) NPC interaction
f.) Seasonal events
g.) Daily activities (fishing, catching bugs, etc.)
I would go:
1. Clothes + character customization
2. Villager interaction
3. Furniture + house decoration
4. Seasonal events
5. Daily activities
6. Terraforming + outside decoration
7. NPC interaction

Woah, I just realised if they dont limit your ground painting thing... could you make your island a desert island?? Or Put bricks everywhere and make it a city? :D
I mostly play for seasonal and daily activities, and so far I'm disappointed with NH because Nintendo actually removed some of those from this new entry (Shampoodle, Shrunk Show).
The more I think about it the less I think my fiancée are going to manage on one island, we play games very differently and her being the AC expert she's definitely not going to enjoy me wrecking her island design (especially because I'll probably do it partly just to mess with her).
It appears there are some limitations.
It appears you cannot make paths/sand/dirt be flush with cliffs, ramps, the shoreline, or other paths/sand/dirt. You won't be able to completely hide the grass unless maybe by using patters to cover these gaps.
I do plan on having a desert section of my island, though, with pyramids and stuff. Hopefully Ankha moves in.
I've played a few of the old Animal Crossings for a few hours each, but could never get into them much.
But now I'm hyped mostly because of the outside decoration! So I'll say:
1. Terraforming + outside decoration
2. Furniture + house decoration
3. Clothes + character decoration
...
4. Villager interaction
4. NPC interaction
4. Seasonal events
4. Daily activities (fishing, catching bugs, etc.)
Yeah, I'm just there to express myself.
I'm getting old, in my head I could have sworn they were Tulips but maybe my memory of NL got muddled with my memory of PC. Maybe they were Blue Violets or Pansies - I know for sure I had a lot of one type of blue flower as I put them all around my house. 2013 was a long time ago and I don't have the 3DS with that save on it anymore or else I'd go and check which one it was exactly.
Thanks for clarifying though, my memory isn't what it used to be and I'm not even 30 yet.
Edit: 100% they were blue violets, I just googled an image of them.

Amazon screwed up my AC console delivery, so I guess I'll be playing DOOM until the console arrives with the game...
Atleast for Collection of Mana it does work that way. I own the game both physically and digitally and it's the same icon in the OS no matter if I have the cartridge inserted or not I can launch it with my save there.
Save files are stored in the console, not the cartridge, so you'll be fine.
Ah, blue violets are VERY easy to breed. Absolutely no problem with them whatsoever. And I'm over 40 btw. I've picked up on ACNL again to pass my time til New Horizons and I've wiped my town 3 times to breed hybrids by TTing and refreshed my memory on these combinations. Anyway don't worry, I'm not drilling it into you, I just clarifying here for the new players to not get confused with those flowers or their combinations or rare colors in New Horizons.
Also, to contribute a bit to the thread. There's decals for people who really wants the AC themed switch but missed out on the limited preorders. Fair warning... some decals leave behind a sticky residue on them or worse, strip off nintendo's soft mold somehow. https://www.etsy.com/listing/761478...ing&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1

As someone who has never played an AC game, is this a good place to jump in, or would you recommend I play New Leaf first, considering this seems quite different to the core games from an outsider's perspective?
Also, will I be able to hang out with Blathers without getting the amiibo? Blathers is the greatest villager, and I need him.

It's not really that different, it just has some big new features. It's a perfect place to jump in, don't worry.
Also, Blathers is in every island. He's the museum keeper, so you don't need anything special to hang out with him.
We haven't seen any indication that we can, and you couldn't in previous games, so probably not.
Nah just play New Horizons, you won't miss much skipping NL.
