I too have been playingsuffering through pocket camp since day 1.


This was part of what finally broke me from the game. Most of the cool new stuff was in the fortune cookies, or costs tickets as part of events. Between that and having the level caps constantly raised I finally burned out hard about a month ago.

I still log in each day though to collect any freebies, because I was afraid of what the cross-promotion with New Horizons would entail.

I did link Pocket Camp to my Nintendo Account. Maybe that's enough to get the freebies? If it is, I'm fine. If you actually need to accomplish things in Pocket Camp to make things happen in New Horizons, then I'll be mad.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

The crazy thing is that the way multiplayer will work here kind of makes me want to re-think my preordered AC switch and just stick with having one in the house so my wife and two daughters can all just live in the same town. I guess I have a month to think about it!

Not gonna lie, I started getting really, really excited when they showed off all that stuff. It's insane how much this game has advanced Animal Crossing.

It's not a pachislot game. It's a plain old slots machine.

I hope they have some kinda smoke machine that really works in this game too. I tried to make a dirty, smoky mahjong parlor in New Leaf and the smoke options were limited at best.

I seem to remember they talked about the villagers having their own loans with Nook that they pay off at their own pace. Maybe upgraded villager houses are coming!

I definitely hope to see a "pirate cove" themed island.

I wonder if you can just outright dig out a bay and just have the whole town around the water/coast.

E: Suddenly a little sad we're limited to a single island per switch. Sort of would love to be able to make additional islands so I could try gimmicks like the above idea while still having a "main" island?

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
Since you can put stuff outside and choose where the villagers houses are, you could divide the island into themed zones by evenly spacing all the villagers out around the island and then decorating their surroundings to match their personalities.

I don't really see why you wouldn't be allowed to have a river run the full length of the island, that was pretty much how you'd have regular towns? You should always be able to access the pole tool to let you cross, but then again, is there any limit to how wide you can make a river? You can certainly carve out lakes. Then again, I suppose "getting stuck" is a non issue since once you can make rivers, you can just as easily fill them back in.

I wonder if there's any limit to just how much you can fill - could you just rid yourself of any rivers at all?

Yea, I was just thinking along those lines - every house/building has it's own little mini "island." Unless there's a cap to how many bridges you can have...

Once you can terraform poo poo, you won't really need bridges except for aesthetics, since it looks like you can just hop across rivers that are one tile wide, no vaulting pole necessary.

I'd imagine you'd probably need at least some 2 tile wide rivers for fish spawning if nothing else.

Bridges are very aesthetically pleasing to me. I had the fairy tale bridge in NL along with floor tiles that matched the bridge pattern. Looks like that will be way more possible and easy in this game.

edit: one of the hardest parts of new leaf for me was getting the public works suggestions that you actually wanted to build. I hope that is much easier in this game.

Also, I wasn't expecting the Amiibo cards to work with this version, looks like I might be able to offset some or all the cost by selling some Welcome Amiibo cards I have in the back of my closet. :stonklol:
