My friend and I played the hell out of the first AC and I swiped his memory card, buried all his furniture throughout his town, chopped down his fruit trees and left him a threatening note

When I had wild world i had a friend who , if you left it in your DS, open the game chop fruit trees and would dig a bunch of holes and then bury the shovel and hide it in a field of other buried trash.

He was great except for that.

I only played New Leaf briefly but am excited for this one. With the whole real time thing, if I can only play in the evening/night is there stuff I'll be missing?

Just some bugs/fish maybe and depends on what they decide what the store hours are and even then the time will probably go by the console time like every game in the series so you can change it.

In new leaf you could enact rules to change the times the stores opened and closed for this very reason, otherwise you could just fudge the system clock but that's not as fun.

This is the best strategy. Wrangle your spouse into it so you automatically start with access to two islands. I did the same with my husband who also has his birthday on the 20th.

I've got bad news for you... I've been having an affair with your husband no just kidding, what I mean is the game is limited to one (player-editable) island. In order for you to each have your own island, you'll need another copy of the game and another Switch.

If they only had one system, they wouldn't "have access" to two islands anyway, even if they allowed the islands on different cartridges or player profiles, since you'd need two switches to visit the other island.

So turns out this is a direct sequel to New Leaf with save imports. The opening has us flee as your New Leaf town is repossessed and you have to build up this new island so we can take the fight back to our old town and pay Nook off.

The game will end when we choose to pay back Tom Nook with blue, green or red bells.

I'm one of the loonies that has an OG Switch and Lite. If not even save transfer is a thing, I basically have to designate one Switch as the "AC console", right?

(I'm leaning toward Lite, but sucks if true.)

Ya, you'll have to pick one console. If it had a proper cloud save system I might have considered getting a Lite to play at work. Would suck less losing or breaking the cheaper one.

If you want to see both sides you have to stick it onto a window, of which basements have none. Think this through!

As I understand it save transfers from one switch to another are possible, you just can't use cloud saves or make duplicates.

So not super convenient, but you can still move the save over to the lite before you go on vacation or something.

Shopto are down to £36.85 for the digital code and they're sending them out straight away for preloading, that's probably as cheap as it's going to get even on sale after launch for a good while.

Their digital codes are pretty much always the best price you'll find, I have no idea how or why.

Thanks for the heads up, friend!

I remember there used to be loads of rumours about ShopTo being dodgy as gently caress and stealing card data. But I think they just scrape away their own margins and probably don't pay their staff like most cheap places.

Yeah I've always heard that on and off, I've used them almost exclusively to buy online for over a decade now and never had a problem but as always buyer beware I guess. Think it's the same rumour mill that produced "CeX is a front for money laundering" although that one is more likely to be true.

They were the kings of breaking street date for the longest time, you still get lucky every now and then but it seems a lot rarer.

Edit: for any first time shopto digital buyers, they don't actually email the code to you. You have to log into your account and go to your digital items, go into the order itself then there's a "get code" button to display the code.

Their website is absolute loving garbage and this process wasn't very clearly laid out at all the first time I used it, so just in case they haven't updated that initial experience (I just go straight to the purchases page now because I know the deal) please consider this a PSA.

Hey all! I made a Google Sheet and form to add Switch friend codes for the game. Since no one actually has the game yet, the only requirements are SA name, Switch name, and Switch friend code, but if you're bold, you can add your predicted island and character name, too. Even better, you could add yourself now, save the link at the end of the form, and update your entry when the game comes out. It'll auto add your entry to the sheet, so if you want to change or delete it, PM me here, ping me on Discord at Terapixel#7597, or shout me out in this thread. Alternatively, if someone has a cooler and better solution, throw it in here.

You can view the friend code database here and add yourself here! Let me know if something's not working right. I'll definitely repost this the day before/day of release, too.
