there will almost certainly be some form of DLC, maybe some of the New Leaf nintendo themed furniture and all, or some classic sets that didn't make the cut at first, I doubt it'll be anything huge

Is there any chance I could get the tag added to the bottom of the ones I already have? :shobon:

I think if you try to use online features without having the Nintendo online service you can buy it in game. Though like Pokemon they'll probably have a big dlc or expansion eventually and are preparing for that.

They're linking your in game mortgage to your actual mortgage

If you don't have a mortgage then you only get to rent a tent on another player's island

Hello thread, I'm allowing myself to feel the hype now for NH since its only a few days (!!) away. I spent so much time in the GC game and later in NL it's unreal, and I'm looking forward to making my island amazing. I even took Friday off work so I can give it my full attention.

Have you guys got a firm idea for your island name yet? Do we know how many characters the name can be? I'm tempted to name mine Belpen like my first GC town but I'm not sure yet.

Also are people adding friend codes? Heres mine! SW-6081-0669-6608. I'll go back through the thread and add those I see!

Also I might as well post my painting of my favourite villager that I did back when NL was newly out!

The later games still use pixel art, it's just the artists are freakishly good holy poo poo

The only time they used 3D models were the 3DS final bosses and at the end of Bowser Jr's Quest or whatever its called they used a 3D model for Dry Bowser.

Chew on that... you overgrown son of a bitch.

Aw hell, I just had a thought I'm not too happy about. Seeing as I'm probably the only person who may run into this potential issue, it's likely I'll just have to test this early on and find out for myself. I'm, uh, wondering if I'll need to turn my Switch's auto shutdown off. It's real nice to have, but if it interrupts the Int'l Dump's hours of operation I'm gonna have to turn off the power saving. Like, I'm mostly probably going to leave the airport open and sit myself down on a chair with "AFK Nerd Zone" written somewhere nearby.

Anybody know if having active online functions temporarily disables the console's power saving auto shutoff?

10-character limit. Mine's going to be called LeBonZone, with whatever spaces I can cram in there. I'm sharing the island with my husband.

There's a friend code spreadsheet in the OP. Add yourself there and start adding people! I'm in there and I will accept any requests that come my way.

I once went into a gas station where nobody was around. Cashier wasn't present, didn't leave a note, it was very late, I reckon they fell asleep somewhere. I went behind the counter, grabbed my pack of smokes, got out my 6 bucks, showed it to the camera, gave a thumbs up and a wink and left the money on the counter. It's not stealing if you help yourself and leave the money. I share this story now, hopefully, for you to walk into a sleepy walmart or something and self-buy yourself a copy-- tonight!

Get your driftiest joycon and turn it on so it spends all day running into the corner? Else, use a rubberband to do the same? I used to use rubber bands to level up skills in Morrowind, they're a miracle strap of rubber.

I actually can't think of a way to test this, because most online games on the Switch I play just kick you off if you idle too long. Which might be something else to consider.

I've added myself to the spreadsheet, let's all be friends! I had a blast playing New Leaf with everyone and can't wait to turn my island into a flowery paradise.
