Eshop has preorders up, voucher eligible. If you've been sitting on one for a while, now's the time!

I'll just note that if you're looking to get it digitally, Raise.com also has a deal going on right now for an extra seven percent off of certain gift cards, and eShop cards are one of them. They're legit, and if you haven't used them before I think you get an extra ten dollars off your first purchase.

I sold my switch earlier last year to fund other hobby items and am now, foolishly, buying another just to play this game. I can't wait to minmax my neighbours.

UK residents, have a look at Shopto, you can get a digital code for £39. It's cheaper than the eshop and they're an official digital outlet the same way Amazon are, so no worries about codes or accounts getting revoked. https://www.shopto.net/en/ndo10004427-animal-crossing-new-horizons-switch-p191565/

When they say that Animal Crossing does not support transferring saves between systems, does that just mean that it doesn't support transferring AC data as a standalone operation (which I didn't even think was possible for any game), or does it mean that even if I did a full system transfer to a new Switch, the AC data wouldn't go along with it?

This sort of thing is so confusing to me. I don't understand why Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo feel the need to lock down their saves. This serves no purpose and is extremely unfriendly and hostile to its users.

I had to wait 36 hours for my Link's Awakening code when I bought it after launch, but my DQ11 and Pokemon Sword xpac codes were instant. It's very variable.

I think most are super excited for it, hence the craziness that the special edition switch keeps selling out. That has to be a huge surprise for Nintendo.

Same (sort of -- I traded my Switch in due to inactivity to help make a friend's birthday really good.) Looking back at my Nintendo hardware purchases, I would've been buying the Animal Crossing Switch anyway. Everything worked out. I was actually kind of fighting it in my head. I went from "alright, I'll wait until reviews for the game come out, just to make sure it's not another Animal Crossing dud that's lost its way" to "I'm only gonna preorder if an Animal Crossing Switch comes with it" to "ah poo poo"

I'm a Prime member and I don't see a $10 savings on the preorder on Amazon. I'm in the US. Did I miss it? I have so much nostalgia for the GameCube version. My friend played every single day for a full year and was sad when they didn't acknowledge it. There were so many little hidden events in the game that I couldn't blame him for trying that. Even though there was a strategy guide, it was still early enough in the Internet days that things could still be surprises.

I still wish that enhanced version of the GameCube game got an English release. I like how you could wake up Nook after hours in it. It seemed like it had a few more features that haven't shown up in later titles. I'd probably play it if it ever got a fan translation.

Has there been any word on what multiplayer is going to look like? I have two Switches and the wife and I will definitely be playing. I am just curious to see if the gameplay experience will be substantially different if we have two copies of the game.

glassyalabolas posted:[*]Animal Crossing: New Horizons does not support the ability to transfer your save file from one Nintendo Switch console to another. Yeah, but it's still not clear to me, does this mean you can't transfer the AC data as a standalone operation (ie, leaving other games' data behind)? Or does it mean that even with a full system transfer, your AC data would be left behind?

It seems like they’re working on some kind of cloud saving solution.

If you have two copies you'll be able to visit each others islands instead of having to live together on the same one, imho that's the more fun way to play since you can trade fruits and stuff for more bells plus nobody can accidentally gently caress up something the other person was doing. They haven't said how single switch multiplayer will work in full detail yet but I already know idgaf about that, we are also a two switch household.

Most likely what happened is nintendo planned to treat this animal crossing in the past regarding saves, but people (rightfully) started flipping their poo poo when it was discovered that New Horizons would behave the same way, so now they are actively working on a solution.

Me when I check out other people's islands and see just how many players had been screwed over by the "Gotta tan for hours to have your actual skin in-game" mechanic in the past because now they can just create how they wanna look from the start.: https://youtu.be/8aE4EEVJyZ0?t=54

I've got a bad feeling about it, since Nintendo has spent the last few years discovering how quick a lot of people are to spend pennies at a time on pointless bullshit. It's a little early to be disclosing future DLC as an "in-game purchase", but who knows.

Edit: Pokemon has exactly the same listing in its rating, presumably because you can buy the expansion directly from inside the game and they always intended you to. There are no other purchases or mtx mechanics in Pokemon to warrant needing that tag. Storm in a teacup until they say something to the contrary.

There are no other purchases or mtx mechanics in Pokemon to warrant needing that tag. This was my follow up question. Thank you for answering it. I'm feeling pretty tolerant towards Nintendo DLC right now. The Pokemon DLC sounds fine from the description. Something similar for Animal Crossing would probably also sound fine to me. Pocket Camp microtransactions still make me irrationally angry just thinking about them.

That's a really good point, and eases my worries a lot. I've largely approved of Nintendo's DLC offerings for their console games over the past few years, and wouldn't mind that at all. I just hope they don't pour too much Pocket Camp into New Horizons.

The descriptor of “in game purchases” sounds like it could be just regular DLC so I’m not worried. DLC makes perfect sense for a game that you’re meant to play little by little over such a long time. Would be cool to get an expansion or 2 in the years after release.

I don't disagree with DLC completely but hopefully it's not lousy with it right outta the gate. Some down the line to keep things a bit fresh might be nice, like how they introduced that Welcome Amiibo stuff a couple after New Leaf was released. I didn't care for it but it was easy enough to ignore, and I mostly moved on from the game at that point anyway. Pocket Camp got too gross for me to touch anymore so I moved on to City Folk to give me my AC fix for the next month. I was really bummed by it when it was released since it was basically just Wild World all over again but playing it on PC with a mouse is actually pretty nice. I've got a new appreciation for it.

I’ve also been playing City Folk a bit since it’s the only one I missed in the lead up. It’s fun still but I really hate the control scheme, with Wiimote and nunchuck at least.

AC will probably have a season pass or a DLC pack just like almost every other major 1st party release has gotten recently. I imagine it'll just add more furniture, villagers, clothes ect, maybe new areas and features. No way anything like the fortune cookies or whatever from Pocket Camp make it in, that kind of stuff stays in the Mobile verse.
