Here's to the new us.
Are we able to put spaces in the island name? I'm brainstorming names and only 10 characters is frustratingly limited.

I know this is probably a crazy question, but have any of you guys seen the amiibo cards lately? I'm seeing booster boxes for $100 bucks but I rather just pick up a couple packs. Thinking 5 Below or Walmarts out in the middle of nowhere?

for your own island it's mainly aesthetics. fruits from other people's games will sell for a lot more. also only your native fruit can grow into special better ones, iirc, which sell for more, but imported fruits will sell more at a baseline.

I only have experience with New Leaf. If it's the same in New Horizon, if you acquire some Perfect non-native fruit from another town, you can totally plant it in your own town. I had a haunted house surrounded by Perfect Apple trees.

Spouse and I both have a Switch and both bought ACNH. Should we have our own islands and visit each others or just share a single island together? Not sure how much it matters. If it's separate islands should we pick different hemispheres so we can visit different seasons?

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

in re: to the dual switch discussion,

I have a new switch on the way (sadly, my AC one that was pre-ordered isn't happening as i switched best buy's in store pick-up option to home shipping thanks to quarantine, and instead of shipping the one held in store to me, they released that one and tried to send me one from the warehouse that did not exist ugggggh so i have a grey joy con model on the way) and it's going to be the second switch in my household.

I have a lot of games purchased digitally on my original release Switch and I'm really wondering what's the best way to go about it. All of the main games I'd play I use a cartridge for, but there are a ton of eshop games on the OG. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do. We will definitely have two copies of animal crossing, but i had originally planned on making both Switches under my main account (with the primary/secondary designation). My main question for those that would know is this-

If I'm playing my profile on the main switch, say with Animal Crossing, and my daughter gets on the secondary Switch also on my profile to play Mario Kart, does it have a problem with two switches being on the same profile at the same time, even if they are playing different games?

In a similar scenario, if I'm on my profile on my main Switch and she's on HER profile on the secondary switch, playing a different game, is that ok?

So freaking confusing.

Separate islands is more fun imho, plus for multiplayer you aren't tied to running around together on the same screen with one person "leading".

Hemispheres is more of a personal choice for sure, if one of you wants to be out of sync with your local season then go nuts.

Sorry I have no answer for your section question but dude, return that grey Switch. There's no reason for you to be unhappy with what you got. That's money you spent and I'm sure you will find another AC switch soon enough.

The method and discussion thereof seems to be fine, it's obviously going to be a no-no to start talking about all the places you get your amiibo dumps from (other than your own collection that you're backing up, of course).

IANAM though so YMMV!

If Hell is blocked, you can probably get around it by using a capital I (eye) as a lowercase L.

In character creation it asks you to "chose a style" instead of gender, and emphasizes that you can change your style any time.

What a wholesome game.

Clocks posted:

Oh and I'm a huge fan of genders not really seeming to matter? I watched a video on the start and you choose between a boy/girl-looking avatar, but then the person chose a boy and "female" hairstyles/eyes etc were all available, and I remember seeing passport cards and they don't mention a gender. On top of animals having a nametag based on their primary color, that's some dope stuff. (I'm not even nonbinary or anything, and I don't want to make it a big deal, I just think it's a cool feature in a game that's about expressing yourself.)

I'm non-binary and learning about how you get to choose a "style" rather than gender is heckin awesome and I can't wait even harder for this game. :allears:

And if you don't have an android device/android device with NFC:

https://github.com/AcK77/AmiiBomb-uino

The wiring diagram for the device is in a menu in the app if you can't find a copy online, it's real simple and you only need to do a little bit of soldering. I have idiothands and managed just fine.

You'd think the fact that we've already got confirmation about free updates coming would chill some people the gently caress out who are acting like New Horizons is the Pokemon Sword and Shield of Animal Crossing.

Because some simpletons are looking through the datamined lists and making assumptions like that.

I just ended up buying a used phone off ebay instead. All you really need to work on it is the NFC stuff so you can pick up deals other people would pass by.

But it says in-game purchases on the back there is a 10000000% chance this means micro-transactions and not just the link to online sub/future DLC options it means in all the other games that listing is on.

Less amount of stuff than a previous entry in a series obviously means less effort was put into the game and it's less good overall! More stuff = better!!

And you just know that line of thinking is gonna come up again one day in the far future when a new Smash Bros. comes out but not every character comes back.

I don't want to be that guy, but from looking at the list, I'm noticing a lack of furniture sets and Nintendo items...

And I know there will be free updates, but I figure they would be something in the game at launch

Games As A Service mentality has infected everything.

I personally don't care, especially for a game like AC that I'll play for at least two years, but it is a shame when you'd rather just have the whole game at once without the drip feed.

If there was ever a game that was designed to be drip fed it's Animal Crossing. A consistent slow feed of content is practically what defines it as a game.

Yeah I'm cool with Animal Crossing doing drip feed GaaS approach so long as I don't have to invest money into it. Holidays being free DLC to release alongside the actual specific holiday seasons is something that feels very Nintendo and I like that.

I wasted what I am sure would be more money on worse games/content. The core game is going to be amazing. Any DLC, free or otherwise, is also going to be amazing.

And if any of you don't want to buy DLC you can come to my island and I can show you the light.
