Well they literally said in the Direct Mini there'd be another update in April for the Earth Day event plus newly added features
Any ETA on when Nintendo will make the names:
"Jodi"
"Jodie"
"Jody"
Viable as player names? Literally can't even get past the "what's your name?" section without it telling me that I've used a flagged term or some bullshit.

Saharah is on my island today. Only allowed to get two mysterious wallpapers and two mysterious carpets per visit and three different rug sizes. That's pretty fair
And it's cool to know that more than one resident can sing at the campground at the same time

any fish is more likely to generate on another island just due to the fact that they are smaller and have less fish spawned at any given time.
No, but kinda yes.
The way this stuff works is that an island has a certain amount of fish it can spawn. Let's say 5. When five fish are spawned, there won't spawn a sixth one until one of the 5 is gone. What you have to do is despawn(/scare away) other fish until a big one that might be the stringfish appears. Because those Nook Miles islands are so small, fish spawn much closer together, which makes is way faster to despawn all the other fish, and spawn new fish. So they aren't more likely to generate on one of those islands, you just run through the pool of fish much faster.
Did two mystery tours today...both on rainy islands so I got a snail and wharf roach. And right before I left, BAM, a Coelacanth! Also got the Cast Master Achievement!
Second island had an island of money rocks...scores 50,000 some so now I paid off my first expansion loan and built a back room. Neat!
Now to get like 200,000 more to get a ramp up so it makes getting to where the stringfish spawns less tedious.

I eventually found oranges on one. Pears are my native fruit. its just really rare.
A Dharma logo would look pretty good at the entrance...
I didn't expect so many people to visit! I'm sorry that it might be basically unplayable. I'm not sure what the best way to organize people coming in and out is. I might just have people PM me what they want ordered and just place it all near the entrance.
Thanks for the explanation. Going insane trying to get a stringfish, it's the last March critter I need.
Can I play this with my wife on the same Switch console or do we each have to have one? I'd be nice if we can both have a character to play at the same time and build things together.
Loving every minute so far. My only issue is a personal one which is that the hourly music is good but it's missing something that made the other soundtracks special. I can still hum songs from the previous games but I feel these ones will be forgotten.
Of course this is based on the hours I've heard so far which is almost all day from 8-8.

Tip for leaving: Use the Minus button and it should give you an option to leave no matter where you are!
For real. I'm just sitting here doing homework with the Switch next to me. I imagine people are moving about five feet before someone else leaves or comes in...
Man, I really am growing tired of this shit. I want to move my home but I'm not entirely sure exactly where I want to put it because I want to test the limitations of landscaping/waterscaping. And I want to build like 2 bridges and 3 inclines but I can only build 1 per day. And I just built a campground yesterday but nobody's here today, so I've got to keep waiting for someone to show up. I wasn't planning on time traveling but man, I'm sick of all this waiting.
If anyone wants to come over, I'll have my gates open until 10 PM EST.
I also have a Swap Shop set up next to Nook's Cranny.

Coming over now!
Edit- or not, island's full
Can you close the gate while not kicking the current players out?
Thank you! :)If anyone wants to come over, I'll have my gates open until 10 PM EST.

I searched and didn't see anyone else asking, apologies if already asked - and please note this is minor.
I, like many others, just got Resident Services remodeled today in addition to a house upgradeI got a letter in my mailbox this morning from the Happy Home Academy that said -
"Congratulations! To celebrate the new addition to your home, please accept this small gift.You'll need convenient electronic appliances in your upgraded home!"
But no present attached! Anyone else have this or get something similar? I just want to make sure I'm not missing a unique item. Thanks!

the campsite is actually the first time I've been bummed about progression—is the camper guaranteed the day after the campsite gets set up or is it just completely random?? I wanna start going back to islands and finding villagers again!
you can both have individual characters on the same island. playing at the same time is cute but pointless for the second player. playing at different times is better but people are pissed that only the first player can cause the progression early on.
over here, we're having fun with it. i set everything up and she played for a long time today. i feel like a lot of the anger over the multiple people on the same island "single player" content will amount to one person having access to the tutorial in a few weeks, but whatever.
if you're sharing an island and you're the "first representative" or whatever, just don't mine your shared island for all it's worth every morning. leave your co inhabitants something to do. they'll get hooked just the same.

I've been going at it for 3 days and I finally caught it last night. Only took me 30-45 minutes using a new stragety, after spending almost 4 hours on it on a deserted island before that. What I ended up doing was going to a Nook Miles island which pretty much existed entirely out of cliff. So there was almost no water on the bottom floor at all. The stringfish spawns on cliffs (doesn't have to be the top one, as long as it's a cliff). There's one type of island that's entirely cliff (2 stories in total) where you can run along the river and hop across it with your pole when fish spawn, to easily scare them away fast. This works way faster (since there's a bigger body of water where the fish can spawn) than the one cliff island or your own island.
Still took me a good 30 minutes for it to spawn, but as I said, I've been trying to catch it for 3 days now. I probably spent around 10 hours (+ almost 100 bait) in those 3 days trying to catch the damn thing, lol. I'll take 30 minutes.
Does anyone else have Erik..? He's fucking terrifying. Dude talks to bugs at night, my girlfriend and I die laughing and he's been the highlight of our villagers. He loves snack time and has a fuckin' hole in the ground in his house where he keeps bugs and he feeds them snacks. He says they talk to him and tell him things, he even learns stuff about the other villagers and us through them.
He's even a flight risk, he told a story about how he was on a plane and wanted to eat the clouds because they looked like cotton candy, and he was trying to open the door, but only was able to after the plane landed.
He also quipped about a fossil saying he wants to also dig up old dead things.
We think of this meme with Erik but with bugs

Yes. I closed my gate by the time I had my 3rd player.
The gate is just the "gatekeeper". If you close it, the players already on the island are free to choose when to leave.
I'll visit your island to buy some stuff at Mabel. Thanks in advance!If anyone wants to come over, I'll have my gates open until 10 PM EST.

Hmm I had someone show up the day the camp opened. Have you been placing outdoor items and weeding? Nook said to do that so I assume there's some hidden quota to make campers appear.
Can't remember the last time I played a game so casually. This is a real treat and I have never been so happy to find the right pair of glasses. 🤓
Just put my campsite down. Should I start a construction project today? I'm not understanding why you're unable to build, you have to wait for a villager to show up to camp..?
My island has cherries. I've gone to ~18 random islands with Nook Miles tickets. 15 of them have had cherries and 3 have had apples. Is there a way to improve the odds of getting other fruits?
Thanks, but dang can I visit again? Have a stockpile of oranges I want to sell and forgot to buy some apples from your store!
you're not going to get anything other than apples (or bamboo) from nook miles tickets. at this point the nook miles islands have two fruit options: your home fruit and the other rarer fruit the game has assigned your nook miles islands.
Question:
If I create an island on my primary account and become the island representative. Then I create a second Switch account, and play as the 2nd islander on Animal Crossing not as the island representative. And throughout the entire time, I'm the only one playing the Switch.
I wanted to know what would happen to that 2nd account? Do you still act as if you're a dedicated villager on the island, but not as the person who progresses the island's development?

Really? My partner was able to leave like this and I don't think anyone was kicked off. D:
Thanks. I swear the fish are designed to mess with your timing.
I've never seen them when I actively looked for them. Just run around your island doing whatever until you hear the shooting star sound (it's some kind of twinkle). Look up without a tool in your hand and press A when you see a shooting star.
Oh?
Then I suppose my sisters were incorrect when they told me that.
That's only if the host does it. That's how I got off and it seems like no one else got kicked.
they sort of come in bursts! Sometimes you have to wait for 30 mins for a shower in which a few spawn every minute or two for like 5-8 minutes.
i don't really get what i'm doing with the shouting stars but they're turning bright when i hold a. that's good?
