I'm super excited for this! I put a ton of time into New Leaf and unless they majorly hosed this up somehow, I'll gladly do it all over again. I can't wait to start trading friend codes.

Anyways, yeah, not gonna delete my town again.

I was considering starting my New Leaf town over just to dick around a bit as well and ultimately I'm glad I didn't. Erasing my perfect and beautiful town definitely would have bummed me out a bit with zero real benefit, and just checking in from time to time is good enough.

It'd sure be nice if we had the opinion to have separate towns under different system profiles or something... but maybe that'd be unhealthy because I'd end up running 10 different towns like a maniac.

I'm playing more Pocket Camp to tide me over a bit and now my greatest fear is that some of those systems are going to worm their way into this game. Nobody likes premium currencies but drat if they don't make a lot of money.

There's zero indication anything like that is happening but I'll mildly worry about it until I see otherwise.

Would a third island on my OG Switch serve any purpose???
Depending on how much of a hoarder you are, maybe using it as a warehouse dumping ground? I ran out of space in New Leaf across 4 characters worth of storage slots and stuff attached to letters in the post office. Had to use a spreadsheet to track it all and it wasn't exactly ideal.

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'll just continue to use an internet name because it'll make it easier to play online through discord with a matching name.

I need to start thinking of a better town name though. I've traditionally used Crackton but it doesn't exactly fit with the cute and charming feel of the game.

I cared more about not spoiling this direct for myself until I could get home and watch it myself than I have for more than any tv show or movie I can recently remember. Worth it, hell yeah looks rad as hell. My only concern is now that we we've seen the whole map, the size of the welcome center square in relation to the rest of the map makes the island look a little small? I hope I'm just interpreting that wrong, or its just bigger than I realize.

Now I just have to stock up on a couple specific amiibo cards, but the ones I want look pretty expensive on ebay. Maybe there's a sweet amiibo card bootleg service out there?

edit: added myself to the friend code DB, poo poo's gettin real now

Hi, so i'm confused about this amiibo stuff and what will work and what won't. Here's my question- will Julian work if I get him from here - https://www.etsy.com/listing/591841..._search_click=1 ?

I need Julian.

Seems like it should. I'm assuming those just gave a bootleg NFC amiibo coded tag in there, though it's a bit of a pricy option.
If you have a NFC capable Android phone you should be able to get some Ntag215 stickers and make your own. I'm going to give it a shot, anyway.

One thing that's got me more excited lately is thinking how each island can have 8 local residents, which means 8 houses to decorate. New Leaf had four (I think?) and sometimes I had more ideas than houses. I'm looking forward to remaking my extremely lovely hostel or game show house and whatever other dumb themes I can think of.

While we're all anxiously waiting with nothing better to do, this is probably a good time to check out the friends list in the OP and either add yourself to it or catch up on a bunch of invites. I just blasted out a bunch.

Captain Hygiene posted:

I'm ashamed to admit to not really knowing how friend stuff works in this, my New Leaf experience amounted to occasionally remember to turn on Streetpass or whatever in the hopes of something random showing up.

In New Leaf to have any multiplayer, someone had to open their town gates which just opened their town to incoming visitors. If you wanted to visit anywhere else, you'd check at the gate to see if any other towns were open, and if one was you headed over and hung out or shop or beat the poo poo out of their unpopular villagers with nets or hammers or beans. You could only really interact with people you manually registered in your DS friends list and I'm assuming its the same this time around? In that game more friends meant more opportunities for towns to hang out in, or people to come over.

Not sure how it'll work here, maybe you'll have to open your airport to allow incoming flights too?

Is everyone gonna try to get their favourite villagers with resetting and Amiibo cards and all that, or just take what you get? I'm hoping to make some new friends, but I also really want Bob - it won't be the same without him.

The only one I definitely want to get is Coco. She was definitely my favourite neighbor in NL and not having her around would be weird, but seeing which random ones drop in is always fun.

It'll be interesting to see what villagers are represented most on various islands as you hop around.

I got a bunch of stickers too and after making one for the single villager I really want, I'm not sure what to do with them either. I'll probably at least make one for every actual AC amiibo they made just for whatever bonuses or fun stuff that comes with those.

From reading a number of posts in this rapidly-moving thread, I’ve gathered that peaches are the desirable starting fruit. That’s great, because I happened to get them on my first try. What I don’t understand though, is why they’re more desirable than any other starting fruit?

I've had them in every AC game I've played, so I have to keep the tradition going. Plus: asses.

I don't have a problem with tool durability in general but I wish they'd change the icon a bit to indicate the life left on it. Is this shovel still good? Better make a new one before I go to the island, and toss it on my half used shovel pile when I get back.
