They had full customization in Pocket Camp and there's little reason to believe they'd walk back from that.

Animal Crossing New Horizons || New Artwork
- Thread starter ILikeFeet
- Start date
Yeah we're at two new types so far. Anemones/poppies and these look like maybe hyacinths? I'm still hoping for snapdragons or dahlias.
From what i can tell,
Game Freak on blast
Customization seems to be at the core of Animal Crossing.
Customization can be completely dropped from Pokemon without it ultimately mattering.
The inclusivity of New Horizons is easily the most exciting part for me, prior games were god awful with it. To be black you had to tan yourself in the sun and your tan would then fade back to white over time - I wish this was a joke. It's so refreshing to see everything be so much more varied and I'm very happy for all the people that can properly reflect themselves in the game now
God there's so many great games coming out in 2020
I'm going to put so much time into this
it looks SO GOOD
I love the much deeper customization!

Goddamn this guy looks like he's been smoking up the reefer all freaking day.
Tom Nook getting into weed farming?
Do we know the significance of SobA?The character customization options are all really great, from skin tones to hair to nose shapes.
Also looks like we have our first look at KK Slider in the new game.
Except they're completely different games with different goals. Of course if they wanna change direction of the series (which has been shifting since New Leaf) to more and more customization then of course they'll do that... but it's not a given because the DNA of all the games until New Leaf had pretty minimal "player God mode" in them. You get what the game generates for you and you basically become as much a part of the town as all the NPCs. In New Leaf they started enacting the usual power fantasy of making you the Mayor and giving you more control over what the town looks like. The new one seems to be a complete craftathon so far, and I'm a little worried about that.
There is grinding in AC but it never felt like the checklist type of grind. It felt like games you could enter and leave at any point and any grinding you did was only becuase you set a goal for yourself. I don't think the charm of the game came from how much you got to control the development of your map, it came more from what it generated, and then there was a real joy in visiting other players, or replaying it a year later from scratch and getting a completely different character skin.
The last thing I need is AC being full of dropdown lists.

it doesn't but it should. people weren't happy when it wasn't from ORAS. so much they put it in with Let's Go.
Wait, I thought we're talking about the Lenny face? That glossed over me until I went back and checked. Very stylish, if I say so myself.
this one shows off some native american stylings, so that's really cool to see

Happy Home Designer was the first game to fix the skin tone problem, but I feel like a lot of people didn't even notice because it was Happy Home Designer
WAIT I JUST REALIZED
Are there different tiers of the axe and net? I know there's the basic one and the gold one, and even some silver ones in NL, but one net is orange and one axe is made of stone!
(Also Nintendo, pls let us have our tools separate from our inventory and accessible on the d-pad!)

I should have specified mainline but yeah you're right, it's just crazy how the series has taken around 20 years to add people of colour but at least it seems to be a standard now
I share the same concerns with crafting being added and the game becoming too centered on making your town look exactly the way you want it instead of being about the animal villagers and a chill atmosphere, but I don't think basic character creation functionality instead of the obtuse way of choosing a face in the past should be lumped in with that.
I hope we get some good curly hair options. Character customization in almost everything has been terrible for curly haired people. It's normally just wavy hair or a full on afro.
Yeah, that's definitely one of the reasons I find the series so appealing. It goes fantastically well with the chill tone of the gameplay.
They've added enough variety to players that it would probably make it frustrating, but I enjoyed getting random faces and stuff when I played it on DS.
Customization was one of the few good aspects of SwSh and a motivating factor to keep playing, and dropping it would make Pokemon even worse than it already is.
Its moments like this when I really wish that Smash Ultimate had extra costumes as DLC cause I LOVE that Villager!All in favor of the Villager below being the new default in future Smash games?
What are you doing Nintendo, this is the perfect early access title if I ever saw one, just pump it out and give me more content over the coming months, the progress is slow as fuck anyways.
I just can't wait to play this.
I just can't wait to play this.
It depends on the ip. With Animal Crossing I don't think there are any with many things.
There may be an Animal Crossing edition Switch console. As that has been done before.
My girlfriend lives for Animal Crossing. She has been waiting on getting a Switch for this in hopes that there is some sort of special edition coming with this like that gorgeous 3DS that came with New Leaf. Is there any chance this could happen?
^ ah poster above me touched on this

With Nintendo™ Switch™, you can play anytime, anywhere™!
When can we expect that do you have any idea? We have 3 months left?
I'm no expert but... Maybe a month before? Like when they usually hype up the release of a title before it comes out with a good ol dedicated direct.
Yeah it was the best part of the game for me lol. Made getting a new town very exciting.
I doubt it, they usually use AC to sell special edition hardware...it worked with me...twice lol
If only they could at least update the actual villagers. We are stuck with wild world/city folks designs.
It's practically a guarantee, though it wouldn't surprise me if they only release a special Switch Lite and no regular Switch.
Stupid question.... whats AC again? Do you mean they will sell it with Hardware only? :(
I think I will wait one month before release and we still have nothing then I guess we'll go for the normal version.
Wow is that normal for Nintendo norms? I'm more a Playstation gamer and Animal Crossing was my first DS game soo hooked up on it. Playstation Editions gets announced months before. Well I think I need to be more patient and will wait.
Did some research.
There's the special edition new leaf 3ds being announced 2 months before the release of the game new leaf which release June 9th.
So 2 months maybe!
