Please make me a Raccoon Goon. I've never had a gang tag before! :3:

Maybe it'll help me decide between Oswald's Theme and the Pimento University song for my town jingle.

161 people are going to have this absolute perfection beside their names. We have two Captains and three Doctors as well

This is the name of a road near where I grew up.



Does this qualify me to join the Raccoon Goons?

I just turned on New Leaf and to get hyped for the 20th and instead I just feel really bad cos all my villagers were sad because the mayor abandoned them for 3 years. I'm sorry Phoebe & Fuchsia.:ohdear::ohdear:

RACCOON GOONS list updated again. I have eleven days to figure out how to translate 'Tobe, Gundam!' into town tune form and I'm strongly considering calling my island 'Doan'.

I assume that titles are going to be one of the things you get from clearing daily challenges. Which means it's probably gonna be like Monster Hunter where you end up with hundreds of different words to use in your title

That's an excellent point, from the videos we saw a lot of the Nook Miles tasks did have title keywords:

I don't think NYC Nintendo store is having a midnight release event party. I'm assuming you have to come early and line up a few hours before doors open up on the 20th at 11am.
A better idea than just packing nerds into a pen and into a crowded store during a corona outbreak?

We can only dream of a system like MGSV where you just constantly build the usable word bank the more you progress through the game, then you might truly become a Racoon Goon.
That said, maybe that's the direction I should go for my island name 🤔

Sorry if it’s been covered but are we gonna have the same system where villagers will show up at random and then if someone you don’t like joins you have to ignore/hit them with a bug net until they leave?? (I’m a jerk I know)

Yeah, I can't find the footage that showed it right now but it roughly looked like this.



Just had the map on the side (Residents/Animals) and seeing it listed like that made it look like there was only room for 4 villagers after that which would be... not great.

The first game had 15 animal residents + a random animal will sometimes camp in your town

With 380+ animals it'd be stupid to stick with 10 max like all the games after the first

Still juggling island names, I'm hoping we can choose a "Island of" format because I have a few good options like Island of Dr. Moreau or Island of Stability. Maybe even Islet of Langerhans?

It was smaller overall but the shopping center meant you had fewer buildings that needed space in the town proper which probably helped make it feel bigger.

Original animal crossing had 7680 squares, New Horizons is 10,752 if you can fill in the beach to the edge of each acre.. makes it twice as big as city folk

Each acre is 16*16 squares, Gamecube had 5*6, City Folk 5*5 and NH 7*6

edit: at the very least, with the ocean around the island at the start, the island is pretty much the exact size as the gamecube town, ties for biggest

yea my only real disappointment with this is that I wish a new gen meant a more sizable island/more townsfolk but I get they like to keep it feeling close knit.

I better get that new elephant and that instragram twink rear end cat with glasses, though :argh:

I imagine the ability to put stuff outside is also playing a role in this as well, but maybe Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch U will go bigger.

Is it too late to get in on the gang tag? I just preordered this game, after the disappointment of pocket camp this game seems to be a proper next gen AC. I hope they have more than 10 villagers though.

i swore someone posted something showing that this was demonstrably not the case but i could be wrong

at any rate the gamecube version certainly felt considerably larger than even new leaf, possibly entirely due to the camera angle

https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/

The link above has the island as 6 acres tall and 7 wide, each acre is 16x16 squares, and you can kinda imagine shifting the island down and right using the sand from the left to fill the water on the right... it'd fill up 5x6 of the squares or a little more. The original game was 6x5 also with 16x16 squares, and the later games were all smaller. When you dig a hole, or plant a flower or w/e that's one square, for reference.

edit:

The original game did confine 4 player characters to one acre, and had 15 villagers placed all over, but it also had 8 facilities that took up one acre
