Really a fantastic job with the OT.

It's been so long since I've played Animal Crossing, super ready to sink hundreds of hours into this game.

Can someone help me out on how mutliplayer works? I don't play AC but I'm considering getting this for my girls since it seems like the perfect entertainment while they are out of school due to COVID.

Is there a way for two players to play at the same time on the same console or do I need to purchase two copies of the game? I do have two Switches in the household.

You can play up to four players locally.

I have it preloaded. I've been saying for years that this is the game humanity needs right now.

That said, I still don't know what to name my town lol

What a gorgeous OT!

Quick question, do we all start out with the same basic island or is every single one randomly generated?

I'm not fully sure, but I do know you're given 3 different options for your island to choose from. From what I know, it looks like those 3 options are randomly generated, so anyone can have different sets of island to choose (there is a limit, I presume).

Really wish theyd release it early but it aint happening. Animal Crossing has gotten me through a lot of rough stuff in life, with all this going on, AC is releasing at a perfect time. The world needs AC more than ever!

Any good videos showing off what party play is like? I wanna know if it's basically a useless mode because of the forced camera on leader thing.

What a lovely OT. :) There's so much I want to do, I'm barely containing my hype.
I'm playing Tomodachi Life in the interim, and yeah...I'm about to upgrade in a big way lol

Got my preload ready. Looks like the definitive Animal Crossing, but I'm really hoping for DLC that includes Redd, Gracie, Resetti, Tortimer etc. The final list of special NPCs was shockingly short

I thought I was going to get it today as Shopto (UK) sent out a dispatch email yesterday, but it seems it's not been sent yet. :(

Looks like I'll have it release day.

Is animal crossing fun playing alone? None of my family or friends play this title but i want to try this for the first time. I love games like rune factory but stardew valley couldn't hold my attention

The games are really a solo experience, playing with others just adds more avenues for the Stalk Market and potentially giving you faster access to certain items.

Fantastic OT! Guess this is good spot for this:
With New Horizons coming out soon, I finally finished documenting all 26 e-Reader cards that contain town tunes. 14 of these were released in Japan and the US while the other 12 were only released in Japan. I even translated the e-Reader gba screens so that people can use them as their Island Tune!

Here's the zip file with all the pictures and info.

Still finishing up the same sort of info for the e-Reader design cards. Got qr codes for hand converted versions of the 17 design e-Cards (2 were only ever released in Japan). Will have those up once the Mobile app has the update for qr scanning

Any issues/mistakes with any of the info, please let me know.

Total AC noob. Since my son and I are isolating together, should I buy 2 copies? We obviously have 2 switches.

I'm determined to get into this animal crossing.
It's looked good from minute one. I didn't get into new life, but my appreciation for different genres has changed radically since then. I'd love a video that breaks down the philosophy of Animal Crossing and optimal ways to play it.

So excited. Amazing OT it's perfect thank you!

I hope this releases tomorrow night and not Friday afternoon!!!!

I watched the Gamexplain review and he mentioned as part of his routine that when he logged on he would sell stuff he collected the day before.
I swear I saw people taking in ERA about the resident services tent being 24/7 and therefore you can sell even at night.
I wonder which is true?!
Guess we will find out soon enough :)
