Wasn't it pretty easy in New Leaf to cycle through random layouts and pick one? It's not the same as terraforming but I am hoping for something like that. Did I hallucinate that in New Leaf?

You had a choice of a few different layouts in New Leaf, but IIRC at some point you would have to choose one of the ones already presented to you or restart the game to get another selection.

Biggest question is if the crossover characters are getting culled or if you can still get the Zelda crew and Splatoon Squirrels

I guess it's a thing now? This is pretty shameless (but not gonna lie some of these features look neat).

I don't like how much bigger the animals are to you, but it's always nice to have something similar pop up since the other ones(Magician's Quest, that Disney one) are dead.

I liked how they changed up the holidays in New Leaf. Being Santa for your village was fun.

While Christmas is my favorite mostly due to the music I'll always have a soft spot for Festivale because Pave is such an entertaining character.

I only played New Leaf briefly but am excited for this one. With the whole real time thing, if I can only play in the evening/night is there stuff I'll be missing?

Just some bugs/fish maybe and depends on what they decide what the store hours are and even then the time will probably go by the console time like every game in the series so you can change it.

I found my Nintendo Power, Gamecube Animal Crossing guide last night. Definitely picking this one up.

The Gamecube one is 164 pages with a full catalog of furniture sets, the new one is 432 pages!

I remember that guide, but mine fell apart and I got the Prima guide. Which wasn't as good and listed furniture that was only available in the Japanese version.

The grass-wear system is still in, but you can sacrifice a villager to the Island to reset the grass back to a pristine state.

And you can never get that villager back. The game will refuse to let that specific villager move back into town. They're gone.

You're saying this like everyone doesn't already have a list of villagers they would sacrifice without a second thought.

The amount of control you have over your island is amazing, I was not expecting being able to change the terrain. I wonder if you can still drop custom textures on the ground now that paths are official...

There was a pencil icon on the path menu which suggest being able to make custom paths.

Apparently the map is slightly larger than the one in New Leaf

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/c6jl2b/animal_crossing_new_horizons_map_size/

Not only that, but houses can apparently be placed on the beach this time

Yeah one of the first things they showed during E3 was placing your tent on the beach.

Another thing to keep in mind is that houses can be placed right up against rivers now



So theoretically you should be able to place them right next to cliffs or each other.

Even if the map was the same size as New Leaf you would still have a lot more room to work with just because New Horizons doesn't have this restriction that New Leaf has. Which hopefully means we can have more animal friends living on our island too.

Actually might be a question as to how far in you unlock terrain manipulation, since I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't move usable buildings once placed.

The direct said you could move your house and the shops.

It didn't say if you could move the animal villagers, but it would be weird if you could move everything else, but them.

Makes me wonder if there's gonna be a downloadable demo. A friend of mine couldn't play New Leaf due to getting motion sickness from the rolling-pin world, but isn't sure they'll have the same problem for this.

As much as I want it, I doubt it.

Would your friend be able to tell from video? Also from what I'm hearing, it's not GC Animal Crossing flat, but the effect is toned down.
