I took a screenshot of the village map thing in the direct and painted over it. I think this what I wanna go for. A lush valley inside of a crater? I was thinking of putting a player-owned farmhouse in between the rivers and make that a fruit orchard, putting a church and a graveyard at the top of the crater where the water starts, make a winding path follow the rightmost river and do some dense urban development, fully paved with a road and houses all arranged in 1x3 city blocks. Hoping the terraforming tools are at least robust enough to get me somewhere like this. All I gotta do is make sure I start with one river mouth near the airport and I should've have to worry about the limitations of the terraforming system.

That's neat and I want to see everyone's plan for thier island.

maybe they changed the way cliffs are allowed to work in this game, but in the past they could only be oriented in certain ways (prolly due to the camera angle), so i'm not sure you could actually have cliffs like that at the bottom of your island

cool idea anyway, and maybe it'll actually be doable

We've seen for instance that shot with the lighthouse where a chunk of cliffs were built near the southern coast, so yeah, probably doable.

But the camera angle thing is a real issue with that plan. By default there are very few north facing cliffs besides along the north end of the island, which is all rock, and I'm sure that's because it'll be absolutely impossible to see anything buried just north of a cliff.

Maybe if you're going to do the crater island plan make it so the river goes around the south edge of the crater so there's less land it's obscuring. Might make fish catching harder though.

I watched the direct and got even more excited and then realized I still have an old DS and some form of Animal Crossing cartridge, which turned out to be Wild World. I turned it on and immediately got yelled at by Mr. Resetti for five minutes, and couldn't figure out how to use my net, axe, or fishing pole. Now I probably won't go back to it because it probably won't be worth playing an AC for twenty days and then start New Horizons. We'll see!

Makes me wonder if there's gonna be a downloadable demo. A friend of mine couldn't play New Leaf due to getting motion sickness from the rolling-pin world, but isn't sure they'll have the same problem for this.

I mean, it’s probably not the smartest decision in the world, but you can take non-drowsy Dramamine to help with motion sickness when playing video games, and that can help you from getting nauseous (or carsick if you drive during that time) for a several hours.

The wait is killing me too; I’m not used to being this hyped about games anymore. It’s like when I was a kid. I bought a copy of the rerelease of Rune Factory 4 to help me deal with the anticipation in the meantime :negative:

That's why they're releasing the Animal Crossing Switch a week before. You'll still be a week away from Animal Crossing, but all the games you play in the meantime will be slightly Animal Crossing flavored

This is definitely the most hyped I've been for a game in forever. It's also the first time I've purchased a console specifically for the special edition related to a game when I already own the console.

It's weird knowing that this game is going to take up the majority of my gaming time for the next year.

Digital is totally worth it when you got the game with one of your vouchers you bought using eShop cards from costco.com. Add in the cashback and my copy was only $43.20. Take that, Walton family!

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.

the switch totally expedited my switch (no pun intended) to digital games, my internet is poo poo so i assumed I'd keep going with physical where I could, plus i like having boxes, but it started with Smash because I wanted to have it at all times and then once Nintendo introduced the voucher thing i said gently caress it and went digital and it's so much better to not have to switch poo poo out.
