Is there an estimate on just how big of a difference the furniture count is in this game compared to others?

The base game of new life had 1271 pieces of furniture
The base game of New Horizons has 807 pieces according to this pastebin, but this is before the day 1 patch to add in Bunny Day and those cross promotional items from it that shall not be named.

I was worried that a lot more had been cut, but this is fine, as I'm sure more furniture will be added via updates. If it was less than the Gamecube game, I'd have a problem

Apparently reviewers had embargoes on top of embargoes and so even once the review one was lifted they still couldn't talk about anything after a certain date, combine that with the day -2 patch and it feels like there's a good chance lots of stuff just isn't in there yet for Nintendo reasons.
My secret hope is there was some stuff stripped out so reviewers didn't accidentally reveal stuff. I don't think it's likely, but there is a vague reason to hope on one front.

With regards to new villagers in the game: The data miners only found the eight or so new villagers we've already seen, which is a very small number of new villagers in my mind. But they also found that they weren't all numbered consecutively. The new wolf is wolf11 and there's no wolf10 (or something like that, might not have the numbers right). It's conceivable to me that this was to prevent reviewers from running into villagers Nintendo hasn't revealed yet so there are some totally new ones at launch.

I'm not counting on it or anything, and I'm not going to be super bummed if it's not the case, but I thought it was an interesting possibility.

In any case, considering that Animal Crossing dang near pioneered the practice of big free updates for Nintendo, any specific thing being left out shouldn't give anyone a sense of great loss at this point. Especially if it means the thing will come back with a bit more polish.

Imagine a Happy Cafe expansion where not only do you get a cafe, but you get to do up the interior and everything like in Happy Homes.

wolf10 is probably Wolf Link in New Leaf and they're keeping the same filenames for consistency. This is my armchair AC development speculation.

I am thinking of buying buying my daughter a switch lite for her birthday. From what I have read I can set it up to share my games, but we can't play them at the same time, or can we? If I want her to have her own copy of animal crossing, but share the rest of the games how does that work? Can I buy it 2x from the store for each switch? Does she need her own profile and then I buy it under that profile?

like, specifically, every Animal Crossing game in Japan has had the ability to select like 'town/city/village' type suffixes and we just never get it in the US for some reason? its not a new thing just in this AC but it still sucks it got cut

I feel like the safest and most likely results of the Day -1 patch is Egg day stuff and online multi, and likely not much else more.

It'll very likely be great! Future Press does excellent work. I bought their Dark Souls guide for a similar reason ("I don't know what reason") and was very impressed with it. Don't think I referenced it once for help, but I flipped through it a lot just for the art.

At least an Animal Crossing guide will contain a lot of valuable information without risk of becoming obsolete in a patch.

Dutch stores broke the street date, and my copy came in the mail an hour or two ago, though I only just realized it now.

physical suppliers would get pissed, it'd open the floodgates to 'ok you did it before why not do it now' and basically pulls the last thread for 'so what good are brick and mortar stores for most video game consumers again'

Aside from the retailer stuff, I'd also imagine there'd need to be some level of coordination across regions so that everyone knows it's OK to go ahead and push the button early. Buuut at this point we're close enough to scheduled release, by the time they got that worked out it'd be nearly scheduled release time already, so they might figure there's no point to pushing the button early.
