I wasn't going to but I'm not sure if I'll be able to stop myself now.
I'll be there at midnight, no matter what. I'll probably do just the tutorial day and then go to bed, but I'll be there.
It's great to hear so much excitement for the game I am struggling to pass the time until then though :(
I'm really hoping for new octopus characters

At this point, I'm not sure I'll be able to play the game come Friday if all of the stores close. Maybe Walmart will remain open, so there's hope there.
Yessss this is what I want!!!! No gonna count on being able to though ; ___ ;
All of you all waiting to play this game at midnight... There's not a snowball's chance I make it up that late. My toddler doesn't care what time I go to sleep, but he decides when I wake up, whether I want to or not.
Only an idiot would stay up that late to play a game that you could just play all next day.
And I absolutely qualify.
HE LOOKS SO FULL OF IT, I LOVE HIM, FROGGY SHIRT AND ALL.BEHOLD
I gotta say, this was a beautiful review. I love when reviewers are really really invested in the game. You can feel how important it is to them and the impact it has in their lives, and oh my god I can't wait until I can feel that myself in just three days.
Can we play at the same time?
I kind of like the idea of us all being on the same island...
Local multiplayer is there, but a bit more restrictive than online - up to four people can play together, but there's no split-screen, so you have to pick a leader (that can be switched at any time), and everyone else follows along on the same screen. I think it's because trying to load four separate sections of the island at once for split-screen would impact performance.
It still sounds fun to me, less so to others.
If I buy the digital version and install it on my secondary switch, will it just be a completely separate save?
They're functionally the same, it seems. Daisy Mae shows up on Sunday, every other day of the week Nook's Cranny (or its expanded form) has a price at which they'll buy.
Thanks. Couldn't find anything with any more detail myself. Figured it wouldn't likely change and was hoping I wouldn't have to spend any more time changing and updating the Turnip Tracker excel. So things are looking good.
Does the Switch have the requirement some systems do where you have to have twice as much free space on the console to download something? If AC is 6.2 gigs and I have like 11 gigs free on the system is that gonna still work or no? Was originally going physical on this but that may literally not be an option.
I'm pretty sure I made enough space for my download by deleting a ~7GB game, so I don't think you'll have any problem.
Question from a new person to the AC series
If I have one switch and one copy of the game, but have multiple people in my household that may want to play - we are all on the same island and can play individually as the 'Resident'? Or is there only ever one main Resident per island?
Also does having other real accounts setup a house on the island count against the total NPC limit of the island? Ie. If you have 3 real people with houses on one island, are you then capped at 7 NPC's that can live on the island?

You will all have your own resident or player and each have your own house and will play on the same island
For your second question we don't know yet
Yes, unfortunately the "Resident Representative" is the same as the "Mayor" role from New Leaf. So the first player character will have that title and sole access to gameplay elements associated with that; like creating the town song, flag and setting the location for bridges, ramps, etc. Not sure if it also extends to things like the builder tools later in the game like setting paths or landscaping.
As for affecting the NPC Villager count; we don't know for absolute certainty, but no, more Player characters should not affect the total number of Villagers you can have. They should be two separate pools, up to 8 human player characters and at least 10, possibly more, NPC Villagers. If they were shared that would be pretty messed up if you could only have 2 NPC villagers if you had 8 player characters.
Oh, hey. I read (or I guess "skimmed," as I'm trying to avoid learning too much) in one review that there are "penalties" for time traveling. Has anyone been able to ascertain what those are, in this case? It's not like the grass can deteriorate anymore, and the reviewer didn't seem to be traveling more than a day at a time, so I'm curious what the negatives might be.
I don't know if it was your idea or not Andre but this is a fantastic video, great showcase
the thumbnail is incredibly well done too
Is there really no way to change who the "mayor" is? Just whoever plays first is the ONLY person who can make bridges and stuff? That's a huge bummer if literally only one person on a Switch can actually build up the town.
Thanks so much! It was indeed my idea and a surprising PITA to make haha. The thumbnail was 100% Tom though!
We in here!
Just got laid off today do to COVID-15 effecting $$$$ at my job. Needing something to help me stay positive. 😊
both of you deserve props for this, it's the sort of classic top shelf gamexplain content that no one else would bother to do
That's reassuring, thanks.
In the direct they mentioned that some Amiibo characters may not be available, I'm hoping that's only referring to special characters like DJ KK.
But, will one of my switch's villager be able to visit my other switch's village via wireless?
Did you have to record 24 hours of footage? That must have been a PITA to record and edit indeed. Thanks for the coverage!
