Gonna be there for the midnight release at Nintendo store because they'll probably give keychains, totebags or whatever with the game.

I've been playing NL since mid December to get hyped about the new one. I'm a little sad that I may not have enough time to get Gracie in town for the checks to get the mega T&T Emporium and haven't met Katrina enough to get her fortune teller shop.

Stopped by the other day. They don't do preorders anymore.

Right they don't do pre orders, you have to reserve an RSVP for the event when it becomes available online and you come at your time slot instead of waiting on line. They've started doing this since Link's Awakening.

Crapton sounds amazing. I wished I knew about it while playing New Leaf. I don't think in New Horizons you can have more than one island on the switch? So I guess there won't be a Crap island. :(

I've played NL sporadically and have left my villagers for several months on end every year but I still have the original 4 I started out with several years ago. The ones that have moved out were villagers I barely interacted with. :shrug:

Okay, I'm so loving in on this raccoon goon gang tag dogpile.

Has anyone thought to go opposite seasons/hemispheres with a close friend or family member to get access to different bugs and fish? I offered to do it with my fiance and he said he'd rather just play through the seasons in real time and that made me feel like a dirty cheater :sigh:

My friend really wants to do Southern Hemisphere. I was warning her that she'll be dealing with fall and winter soon but whatever. If I need to get stuff I'll just gamble with the random tour island.

I don't think NYC Nintendo store is having a midnight release event party. I'm assuming you have to come early and line up a few hours before doors open up on the 20th at 11am.
A better idea than just packing nerds into a pen and into a crowded store during a corona outbreak?

I've remembered my favorite thing to do every day is to go over to Tortimer Island and just swim around until I have an entire box full of sea creatures. It's chill and relaxing, and I hope there's something equivalent in NH (added bonus, letting me sneak up on fish too :ninja:)

I haven't seen any diving in NH. I'll be pretty bummed out if they don't have it.

Brought the digital preorder instead of Nintendo having a release day event for it. Not betting on any large events during a pandemic. I really hope that we could play it on the 19th at 9PM. Where was this rumor confirmed? I did see that the code for a 7 day online trial would be available by the same time but not the game?

Animal Crossing New Horizons question. If my wife and I each get our own copy of the game, will we be able to use the the same island and play with each other? Or is it more that we each have our own separate islands and can just visit each other sometimes?

Edit: I would also love a gang tag

One island per switch. If she has her own switch she can have her own island. You can add an account for her on your island and vice versa, meaning that you can have your own island and an extra house/character on your other partners switch. Kinda like having a dacha.

If I can't get a tropical fruit I'll be fine with anything except pears since they don't stand out until it's fall/winter. Not sure I'll do an island reset for it though.

I don't have a strong opinion on time jumping. I've done it sometimes and it hasn't ruined my experience of the game. Bug hunting on Tortimor island was a slog if you wanted to pay off your loans but it doesn't seem I'll be doing the same poo poo in NH. It's a hell world so let people do whatever they want to do. Who cares!

I also really prefer this over NL. Animal villagers seem to have more personally than just nice and nice grouchy. Renée hates me at this point. Just chilling and fishing/bug hunting for some rare stuff before March ends. I think the crafting tools doesn't annoy me as much, I always have the materials in my inventory. Bait crafting sucks though. I have my own projects underway so I can wait for any "new" content like the cafe, Redd, Leif or whoever may appear or build something in the future. for awhile.

Far as I can tell Timmy and Tommy don't sell set furniture anymore it's just stuff to compliment the sets you can make through DIY and their variants so you can get unlucky and have them sell something you saw yesterday except in a different color.

They just sold me a tatami bed yesterday.
I think there will be another upgrade beyond the 2nd store via whatever DLC down the road.

I was playing NL till this came out and I would say that NH is way more addicting. I end up sketching future ideas about how my island would look like after terraforming and moving houses and shops outside of the game. I'm way more into decorating the island than my home at this point.

I get the frustration with the egg situation, but I also feel like it's that way so someone who only plays every few days, or only plays for an hour a day, will still have a chance to get all the event stuff?

Yeah that's pretty much the extent that I can play on weekdays. I also always loved Easter poo poo as a kid so it's kinda nostalgic for me except that creepy mascot. I think the theme looks way better than NLs. I love bright and pastel colors, so it works out for me.
It sounds like a lot people on Reddit and here are able to play for a really long time which is why they get annoyed or burnt out so quickly.

The reddit post about Sakura DIYs are in the red balloons and all balloons spawn every 5 mins around the eastern part of the beach is correct. I got 2 DIYs from it, a wand and the pink wooden wall. The first 2 was one from Isabelle and one luckily I found in a bottle. I've also found a bamboo DIY in a green balloon and a decent object in a blue one. You could just ignore the easter ones but I need those DIYs too to make up for the fact that I barely play during the week. Red balloons may be spawning every 20-30 mins but check every 5 I guess. In the meantime I'm catching a bunch of petals.

Oh yeah, I should mention, if anyone wants any of the sakura items (don't have spare recipes, unfortunately), I'll make them and send them to you as long as you send/bring me the materials. I don't really give a drat about getting something for it. I guess you could send or drop whatever amount of bells if you want but seriously don't feel bothered. Just quote me or PM me or whatever and we can get it done. Depending on what you want you might need to visit me to give me the materials, and I can only get you a max of 2 items a day, because, well, see my above rant.

Oo.. contemplating this but also want the DIYs for future unless I sell them.
I do want the cherry blossom pond stone and at least 2 of the lanterns. My switch code is 7300-3543-3535.
IDK how the transaction works, I guess I'll visit your island with the materials needed for it. I'm drowning in petals!!
