I've never bought a "special edition" of a console that I already own, but I pre ordered the Animal Crossing switch as soon as it was announced.

I do wish we knew more about how shops are going to work. I like crafting, but I also like how easy it was to make obscene amounts of money by catching rare bugs, stopping by the shops every day to see what's new, etc.

Of course I have a random meeting that's barely worth attending tomorrow, at the same time as the Direct.

That implies you are playing docked, and the very thought unnerves me. Animal Crossing: Wild World was where I sunk my teeth into the franchise, and so the thought of non-portable Animal Crossing is just crazy talk. I did play the GCN, City Folk, and New Leaf, but Wild World was the one I played the longest

See, my first AC game was New Leaf so I've only ever known portable. So I'm really looking forward to playing on the TV. In fact I can't remember the last time I played any game undocked for more than a few minutes.

I'm holding off on pre-ordering the game until my limited edition Switch is here. Definitely buying digital, and I've never done a system transfer before, so I'll just buy it on the new console. I know that probably sounds silly, I'm sure the pre-load will carry over just like all the other games, but my brain is just being weird about it. Also I remember when Luigi's Mansion 3 was available for preload like a month before it released, and having to look longingly at the game icon that whole time was torture.

I had peaches in my ACNL town, wouldn't mind getting them again but it'd be fun to have something different. I think pears or cherries would be my first pick, then oranges, then apples. But I probably won't bother resetting... unless I get apples.

Absolutely going digital here. Instant island access, anytime, anywhere. Plus the Switch cartridge flap thingy is so drat fiddly.

I'm still waiting to preload until after I get the AC Switch and get it all set up. Kind of impressed with myself for exercising the smallest modicum of delayed gratification.

do it do it do it you know you want it.

Although... it seems awfully loose in the dock. The connection itself seems okay but I can wiggle the switch back and forth quite a bit. Put it in my old dock (bought ~2 months after launch) and it fit much better, haven't tried it the other way around yet.

Oh I have a new question, are the starting villagers fixed at all? Because otherwise I may just repeatedly restart until I get Bob.

Supposedly everyone gets a Jock and an Uchi villager, so it's fixed to that pool.

Didn't stay up last night b/c I was getting too anxious, but I'm up bright and early today. Got this sweet layout with my own private island:



My villagers are Mac and Plucky, but my fruit is apples... really don't want to reset, I love the layout and I'm not creative enough with terraforming to make my own island.

Edit: ohh shoot, I can't get the pole until tomorrow? Hmm. Well, I guess I'll just roll with it for now.

How soon can you cross rivers? I picked an island with a smaller island in the middle and right now I can only access about 40% of the island at large :nyoron:

e: lol same

What I'm reading is you need to unlock the net/fishing rod recipes and catch 5 fish/bugs. Then you pick a spot for the museum, and on the next day Blathers appears. He will give you the recipe for the vaulting pole. It costs another 30,000 bells to move your tent.

I've never time traveled before but I really want to get the setup done...

I love that goldfish get their own special bowls, so pretty.

Still debating skipping one day forward, then going back. I really want to unlock the museum/vaulting pole so I can move my house to the island in the middle of my map. I'm almost worried I'll burn out more quickly farming the same few butterflies/fish over and over on this first day.

I just remembered that I didn't play the entire month of November last year, so now is my chance to finally get Mushrooms. What are the dates that they appear? Is it only like one or two weeks this month?

Oh man I really, really hope that convenience market furniture makes a reappearance on the big new 2.0 update.

Lucky you, mushrooms grow all month long. You get 5 each day up to a max of 30 growing at one time if you don't pick them but they'll stop spawning at 30. They grow next to both hardwood and cedar so make sure you have some room. Oh and the Rare Mushroom grows underground and appears as a crack.

I would have loved to get almost the opposite of the Beautiful Town ordinance, one that stops your flowers from spreading after the rain (only spread after being watered from a can).

So how do you get the other vegetables - tomatoes, wheat, etc? From Leif I'm assuming? Or maybe they'll be in the Nook store tomorrow?

Started off Harv's Island with Reese and Cyrus, then Redd, then... Katrina maybe?

Still have two houses to move off the beach and a bunch of inclines and bridges to build. I have 40 mil bells and 1 mil miles gathering dust, but I'm trying to pace myself and not blow through all the new stuff at once. I'm sure HHP will keep me plenty occupied once that drops.

Check your phone too. I got the car by ordering from the daily nook store phone order selection.

Nothing there either. Sounds like it's not an every day thing, hopefully I get something soon. No big deal, I've been burning through my savings with the storage expansions and the additional inclines/bridges.

I got a spring island tonight, with cherry blossoms you could catch and a cherry blossom DIY bottle. I didn't notice anything unusual on the way there but on the way back there were still cherry blossoms floating in the air. Maybe they were there at the start too and I just wasn't paying attention.

Holy poo poo.... So the llamas/alpacas (the ones at Harv's) who customize stuff... They allow you to get alternates of Nook Mile items, like the lighthouse! Usually, you'd have to find someone with the colour you want and trade with them, and even though you touched a variant, couldn't order from the catalog. That's still the case (the catalog limitation), but now if you only have a black and white lighthouse and want the pastel one, you can have them change the colour.

Amazing.

They'll customize pretty much any furniture/decor items, I loving love it. Definitely one of the top 3 QOL improvement in the update, I'm crossing stuff off my wishlist left and right.

Apparently good luck with Belongings renders your tools unbreakable for the day. I've been digging up clams for bait like crazy, and moving flowers around, and my shovel has been going strong all day.

Bad luck with belongings makes your tools break more frequently, I believe.

Is luck set for the day regardless of whether you talk to Katrina or not, and she just spells it out for you? Or do the effects only kick in after talking to her? I assume it's the former but figured I'd ask.

The effects only kick in after you talk to her as far as I can tell. You're not just going to have a random day where your tools don't break I think. It's enough to convince me that she's my first stop of the day, at least.

OK yeah that makes sense. I was just wondering cause the other day it seemed like my tools were breaking like crazy but I was pretty sure I hadn't spoken to Katrina yet. I probably did, and just forgot.

And same, I now make a beeline for her first thing in the morning.

Though if you're trying to up your rank for higher payouts, you need to spend 20 minutes (being idle doesn't count) decorating so the villager will give you a wallpaper/floor. Well, at least until you've gotten 45 gifts then you can stop unless you really want to gamble on them giving you the correct item.

20 minutes must be longer than I thought, it feels like I spend forever on each house since I'm actually terrible at decorating/super indecisive, but I haven't gotten a single gift yet. Might have to set a timer today, lol.
