Isabelle gets to beat up the Mayor for all the shit she's been delegated over the years.

They did say in the Direct that the bundle was coming in on November 2nd.

Was the release date moved up?

It says on the box, "Game will not be playable until its official release date"

Smash is hype incarnate. How do they do it


Really glad Isabelle is in and Animal Crossing, in general, has been getting so much love. Pocket Camp, Smash, and a new game. I haven't even played any of the series, but it's nice to see such a laid back game series get so much play.

No. It comes with the digital game that won't start downloading until near the release.

Isabelle is a no-brainer given her popularity and I'm glad animal crossing has another rep.


The code doesn't activate until release.

Interesting that they didn't just release this bundle along with the game's actual release.

Guess they wanted that Black Friday money

This was the first character announcement that I don't feel any hype for. It's like, ok, she's a character that exists, but other people wanted her. Felt a little out of left field to me.

Not an Echo! Wow!

The Final Smash being the same is kind of disappointing though.

"You thought it was Isaac, but it was me, Isabelle all along!"

Man, what a cruel fakeout, making us think Tom Nook is going to be in Smash, only to destroy those dreams.

Why would Nintendo do such a thing to its fans.

I was waiting for Tom Nook to get revealed as the Echo for Isabelle.

Man that whole segment was done well

tfw i don't like isabelle but like villager's playstyle

Well there are worse characters to add I suppose. And on the bright side this bolsters Dixie's chances since we now know semi-clones aren't off the table just because echoes exist.

I mean, she's not an Echo Fighter... but she still shares a lot of similarities with the Villager, even the Final Smash?

This is the sort of thing that causes confusion.

Semiclones means Dixie Kong won't be an echo

Her neutral side and down special will be similar to diddy

Smash attacks and ariels all unique

I mean, it's not really confusing at all and I don't know why everyone makes it out to be rocket science.

Echo Fighters have such minor differences that their general playstyles are effectively fully interchangeable. Isabelle, while similar and sharing some moves, is still clearly substantially different.

And Daisy and Dark Samus couldn't be semi-clones....smh.

I love Isabelle but this is clear favouritsm. She seems to have started off as an echo fighter with most of the same stuff as Villager, but then she got so unique that she needed full newcomer balancing and resources.

After the delay that added extra hype, isabelle is a pretty lame reveal, not a bad character though, at least not another anime swordsman.
