I would also love to be a RACCOON GOON!

So excited for this game. I've booked the 20th off work 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.

I’ve made a couple cards for villagers I want, but I think at first I’m just going to start off with 2 (Cherry and Tex) and see who else shows up naturally.

I haven't even watched any announcements close enough to see who's new that might show up, I'm just gonna let it happen even if it's dumb ones that want to move in. Mayor Cap'n likes surprises.

Ankha and Lucky being in my town is non-negotiable. I'll see who shows up after that.

The villager count is like 10 right? I have a gang of 5 or 6 favorites from New Leaf that I own cards for and I'll probably bring some of them in off the get go, but I'll just let some of the randos hang out and see where they go.

The instant Bowie Cat gets a card though one of those randos is getting voted off the island.

I have 72 Amiibo cards and somehow none of them are for my favourites :(

It looks like it might be slightly easier to recruit new villagers this time around though, so maybe I'll get lucky and find Bob that way.

I'm going to take whoever shows up. I'd really like an octopus villager but using amiibo cards to get them just feels wrong too me.

That's how I feel. I used to hate cranky villagers a ton but I can live with em now. The only ones I'm gonna drive out would have to be really ugly.

My little sister keeps talking about how she will reset if a single monkey or gorilla shows up on her island. Its mildly uncomfortable.

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.

They've been out of print for awhile now. Apparently Japan might be getting a second run but with how production of a lot of stuff has ground to a halt I kinda doubt there will be a lot.

I had heard somewhere about a reprint being done for those cards, but the current events going on might affect that.

Eventually, I'd like to get Moe (my BFF), Lucky (my birthday buddy) and Ankha (my favorite design), but time enough for that later. I'll go with whoever shows up (especially since we don't seem to know more than a few of the new ones right now?) and work on getting the cards to summon my favs later.

If I can finagle it, I'd eventually like to have an island full of cats, like how I only keep the cats in my camp in Pocket Camp.

Okay, I'm so loving in on this raccoon goon gang tag dogpile.

Has anyone thought to go opposite seasons/hemispheres with a close friend or family member to get access to different bugs and fish? I offered to do it with my fiance and he said he'd rather just play through the seasons in real time and that made me feel like a dirty cheater :sigh:

My wife is gonna do northern hemisphere and I’m gonna do southern, so anyone who wants to visit the opposite season is welcome in my town once we get the game going!

I really want Cherry, but I don’t have her card and I don’t feel like resetting until I get one villager out of nearly 400.

Maybe I’ll just get lucky some day.

You have to use a shovel to pick up flowers now. I guess they can still run over them but at least they'll grow back.

I don't have any cards but as strange as it is I've never had a favorite villager. I like a lot of them though so I will just hope I get some good ones on my island.

Since there's no way for any of us to know the answer to this since it's the first time it's been possible to my knowledge, I'd like to think out loud and see what people think. I'm gonna be playing this game in Japanese... I wonder what that's gonna mean for how people see me and my island? Will they just be in Japanese or auto romanized? I assume the former since Pokemon and Mario Kart have no trouble displaying other languages but it's never too late for Nintendo to get weird with online.

EDIT: also I would like to be a raccoon goon but what happened to incorporating the angry eyes?

I don't remember any villagers from Wild World or the GC but Lobo was one of my starting villagers in New Leaf and I decided he was my BFF. I don't really remember the other ones though.

I can't remember if I threw out those cards or put them in a drawer, but I will probably be too lazy to clone new ones and just take whoever shows up.

I want camofrog in my town so bad. He's so cranky, I love him. I haven't had him in a town since the gamecube version. I keep thinking they dropped him from the game since I never see him but apparently I'm just unlucky. Him or Kyle. I have so many of the cards but not of those two.

I'd be ok with them keeping puzzle league in there at the very least. That was a great addition to New Leaf. I sorta doubt they'll put the classic roms back into AC.

The best you can hope for is consoles containing minigames like New Leaf which had a 3DS that would let you play an Animal Crossing themed Tetris Attack/Planet Puzzle League/Puzzle De Pon and a WiiU that would let you play the only good part of Amiibo Festival, Desert Island Escape.

Maybe this is how we get a new Advance Wars.
