Never played AC before. Didn't know there were different villagers, islands, fruit, etc. so I have a zebra and an anteater with pears. Played some so far but I can't tell if there's anything for me to do beyond wait right now.

- Waiting for my house to be built
- Waiting for museum guy to arrive
- I couldn't get the balloon present
- There's shiny stuff in the ground I don't have a shovel for
- I have tons of wood but nothing new to make

Am I just supposed to run around in circles doing the same stuff I've been doing for no real reason?

my friend, save up 2100 miles and fly to an island where you can buy a shovel

You can repeatedly shake any tree and it'll keep giving out sticks every few shakes. They seem to be infinite.

It's kinda loving amazing that this got delayed until March 20, 2020. From a societal perspective, there's basically no better time in history to release this game.

Actually... the timing is a little too perfect... :tinfoil:

I'm waiting on Amazon to deliver it today, but I have had a bad track record with launch day release pre-orders with them. I have a feeling it's gonna be delayed, or they'll attempt to deliver it then leave a card saying they'll come back tomorrow.

Is there a big update when you start the game or is it good to go right off the bat?

Someone on Reddit said that only the "main" villager can donate to Blathers... Is that true? Kind of a bummer but I guess the other person can give the bugs to me for me to donate?

Seymour Buttz posted:

There’s actually way less unavoidable repeat dialogue in this game compared to the previous ones, and they’ve added so many time savers. Like I‘m thrilled with how quickly I can enter and exit buildings. Before, every time you entered or exited a building there was unavoidable talking from the person inside.

Also only fruit and bells stacked in the last game and you had to manually stack the fruit and manually move bells from your inventory to your bell bag.

Pretty much back in my day we had to walk up a hill both ways to get to school etc etc

This is really great to hear! I mentioned earlier that unskippable dialogue is probably the main thing that burnt me out on New Leaf.

I started playing as soon as I was able to, got all the bugs/fish necessary to get Blathers to fly over, and paid off my first loan, all before bedtime. Now I've got enough finds for the museum to get built, but my house will wait until tomorrow, because I thought I'd have to find somewhere else to put it last night when I got the offer. Overall, game good.

My name is Tea and I live on the island of Sugarloaf :) Everything worked out well first try – my island has :butt:fruit and a red airport, and I got my old buddy Agnes as a starting villager! Plus Roald, who seems pretty cool.

Also my partner surprised me this morning with a Bob Amiibo card so soon I get to be reunited with my BFF!!! :woop:

While I don't know, I do know that in local coop there's only one person that can pick up items but you can switch that person at the press of a button. Might be worth trying that to see if you can donate if you're not the "main" villager.

Question: Can I hit rocks for iron in someone else's town?

It's not really Animal Crossing specific, but I figure a lot of people are in the same boat.

If you use a $60 eShop credit to get Animal Crossing, you'd have 1 cent left on your eShop balance after buying New Horizons. This game is 1 cent right now. https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/conduct-together-switch/

If you aren’t in a huge rush, you get the DIY for it as soon as Blathers shows up (so likely day 2 if you donate a few things to Tom)

If you buy physical, you can swap the cart back and forth, though I don't think local multiplayer will work then. Nintendo kinda wants to sell as many copes as they can and all.

I think with the digital copy you can, but you can't have the same island between the two. I was reading an article about it last night trying to get it to work on my Switch and my son's SwitchLite, but I have to change who is the primary- will link steps later if I remember.

So Blathers is coming tomorrow, as is my real house, anything else I should knock out ASAP on day one or is the rest of the day for miles farming and such?

Also I LOVE the fact that you can use big fish displays as tables, and put them outside, great to store as I wait for Blathers
