Finally, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has been sort of released for both iOS and Android. Currently softlaunched in Australia and expected throughout the world at the end of November, AC: Pocket Camp has you once again customizing your character, meeting cheeky animals, buying furniture, decorating your own place, and dealing with crippling debt And that's why we love it! It's out worldwide now! Here's the Nintendo Direct video of the game so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr2wXiwgNd0 Want to pre-register for it? Here ya go -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nintendo.zaca All the info for the game, from the Google Play store description: quote:Get back to nature in Animal Crossing™: Pocket Camp, the new Animal Crossing mobile game where you take on the role of campsite manager! With regards to IAP (in-app purchases), so far, the only thing that you'd use real money to pay for would be Leaf Tickets, which are a way to speed things along, and (I could be mistaken) buy certain things without using the long-standing AC in-game currency, bells. There's also an APK floating around, but I don't know anything about that. I'd look for it and install it, but I really want to go into the game fresh, with my 'My Nintendo' account synced up from the beginning. I don't know why I care about that stuff, but I do Obviously, an Animal Crossing game wouldn't be proper if you couldn't connect with friends/goons who will find ways to poo poo up your camp, so below are a list of friend codes. I'll update this as much as I can. Also, I'm assuming that iOS players can play with Android players? If not, I'll be sure to denote which platform each person is on when listing their codes. FRIEND CODE LISTINGS Turtlicious - 4235 2202 653 mrkillboy - 6030 4116 225 Kabuki Shipoopi - 4201 1494 794 pnau - 5403 3911 674 i like tacos - 8272 5858 587 rapner - 4288 7623 137 Colin Mockery - 7676 4217 792 Croccers - 6173 7075 041 Kyrosiris - 8626 0271 485 rhoga - 2147-1236-974 boy are my arms tired - 8353 9513 046 Rupert - 0630 9329 593 Important Leaf Ticket info (thanks io_burn!) io_burn posted:I've been playing a ton of this to write Animal Crossing content for TouchArcade, and I think the most important thing to do when starting is hoarding your Leaf Tickets. The first session of the game is sort of a long drawn out tutorial where seemingly everything you do awards anywhere between 10-30 Leaf Tickets. Initially it seemed like the most intelligent thing to do with Leaf Tickets was buy out all three crafting slots with Cyrus, but it's starting to feel like the real limitation of the game is inventory space. You start out being able to hold 100 items, and you can spend 20 tickets to add 5 more slots to your inventory. This OP will be filled out as more information comes forth.

I've been playing a ton of this to write Animal Crossing content for TouchArcade, and I think the most important thing to do when starting is hoarding your Leaf Tickets. The first session of the game is sort of a long drawn out tutorial where seemingly everything you do awards anywhere between 10-30 Leaf Tickets. Initially it seemed like the most intelligent thing to do with Leaf Tickets was buy out all three crafting slots with Cyrus, but it's starting to feel like the real limitation of the game is inventory space. You start out being able to hold 100 items, and you can spend 20 tickets to add 5 more slots to your inventory. I'm curious what strategy you guys have taken to using your Leaf Tickets in the most optimal way? Anyway, I wrote up a pretty lengthy first impressions piece on the game here- http://toucharcade.com/2017/10/25/animal-crossing-pocket-camp-first-impressions-review/ Here's what the first session looks like, which lasts just under two hours before you start running out of poo poo to do- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUmKn3TvGZ4 Pretty cool game overall, tons of potential, but I think how much you like it depends on what you enjoyed most out of Animal Crossing. I was into the turnip market and relationships with my neighbors. The former seems totally absent, and the latter is pretty basic compared to "real" Animal Crossing games as characters just float in and out at random?

Also it's pretty trivial to play this right now if you download the Australian soft launch version, the only region locking is making sure your Nintendo Account (which you can fiddle with at http://my.nintendo.com ) has your country listed as Australia. I'm not sure if this affects other things linked to your Nintendo account, but when I change this setting around my Switch makes me log back in to my account. I'm just making sure I change it based on the games I want to play (i.e. switching it to AU for Animal Crossing then back to US for Switch) but I have no idea if this is necessary or not.

At least you dang Americans aren't crashing servers like you did when Pokemon GO soft launched. Code is 6173 7075 041 Seems to me best bet for your fun bux is to unlock one build slot and dump some bux into a slighter larger inventory so you can carry some more random crap. Fruit respawns every three hours so that can bottleneck favours. You need 5 friends to help you get into the Quarry so you can mine rocks or money so there's a bottleneck there too. You can Fish and Bug Hunt to your inventories content. Croccers fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Oct 26, 2017 |

Every level ups your inventory by 5 spaces. It's still tough but that's normal Animal Crossing. It seems like you still want to go fishing and bug hunting constantly. A friend of mine caught a fish that sells for 15000 bells. Also as people said before, the KK and Nook special out now is pretty worthless. You can't build a relationship with them and they're pretty much expensive decorations I might have been playing nonstop

Going to add those friend codes to the OP, but does anyone know if iOS and Android players can play together? I'm going to assume yes, until I hear otherwise.

I don't think I'm allowed to answer the first question but this is how it worked for fire emblem and all my friends and I didn't get banned. I don't think anybody got banned for jumping in early but I can't vouch for everybody.

If I go ahead and create an Australian iTunes account to download the game, will I lose all progress when the US version comes out, or will I be able to link my save to my Nintendo account and transfer progress that way?

Can you make an AUS iTunes account from the phone? I seem to recall awhile back you could only really do it from iTunes on the computer since the phone wants you to add a credit card.

PROTIP: leaf tickets will probably be best saved for event items, the current items are KK Slider and Tom Nook’s chairs, which will get them to come visit your camp. Bet you 500 bells that there will be holiday character items, promotionals and recurring rate/uncommon guest items that cycle. They are also good for unique camper paint jobs, maybe even shoes. So, just wait those timers out. I did the alternate AUS account to preview. Can’t decide if I want to bind it to a Nintendo account or wait for the release proper. Kinda really really want that KK Slider chair, and the link would give me the 100 more tickets I need. io_burn posted:No one knows for sure bit it seems like a very safe assumption that progress will transfer with your Nintendo account.

io_burn posted:A reset isn't happening or a progress transfer isn't happening? After re-reading the material, there actually is nothing that specifies for or against linking your save data to your Nintendo Account and then transferring over later when you have a later iteration of the game for your proper region. When you set up your game, it asks you are region you are in, and Australia is currently the only option; and there is no option to change that setting that I have found, so far. I can't say for sure if they will give you that option again during transfer, or if you will simply be loading an Australian save file in your otherwise non-Australian app. What this could mean is anyone's guess, regional differences regarding holidays or events?

I really think we're reading a bit too much into the region locking stuff. If Nintendo wanted to really region lock the game they'd only allow Australian IP's to connect which is what Gameloft does when they soft launch stuff. Instead, it seems like they're making a real basic check to see which country you have listed in your My Nintendo profile. I've been experimenting switching mine around and all switching my country seems to do is sign me out of the Nintendo eShop on my Switch. (Which is just as simple as re-entering my password.) When I've got Australia selected on My Nintendo, Pocket Camp will let me play. When I have any other country selected, it gives me a weird generic connection error on load. I don't think there's much reason to assume this is going to work any different from any other soft launched game that uses Game Center (instead of My Nintendo). In that case, what happens is your progress is tied to your Game Center account, and when then game is released you just delete the soft launched version and download it again in the US so you can buy IAP with your US account and everything transfers over because it's linked to Game Center, not your iTunes account or anything else. I can't really come up with a reason why this would be any different, as all Nintendo would be doing is inviting a massive support headache if suddenly they were deleting progress or locking accounts or whatever. If you're hardcore enough to download the game now and you want to transfer progress so you can start buying poo poo with dollars when it hits the US, that's the exact kind of behavior any free to play dev will encourage.

if your nintendo account isn't australian, you cannot link your nintendo account anyways; it gives you an error code and forces you to close the game, but you can restart it and continue playing (the game will still recognize that your nintendo account isn't linked)
