Pre-ordered a special edition Switch for my wife from Best Buy Canada! Failed to get one for a friend from EB Games at midnight since their website failed spectacularly, had to drive there in person before they opened.

Then all the stores put more up and I impulsively pre-ordered one for myself...

Can't wait!! We played Wild World every night for over a year. That was the first and last game she's played. She's been watching YouTube videos analysing every little leak, so she's hyped too.

Would a third island on my OG Switch serve any purpose???

I would pay for Pokemon Home type phone DLC. So I could chill with my dude and my animal friends at work. Even as just a jukebox with some fishing thrown in, or a mobile version of your museum collection.
COMPLETELY separate from the gacha ridden Pocket Camp.

If they do DLC with unique furniture or animals it would be unfair to non-DLC completionists. I'd buy it in a heartbeat though. :P

On top of owning all the AC Amiibo, I've got a couple hundred blank nfc stickers ready to go. I'll hook you folks up with favourite neighbours. There, already found an excuse for an extra island on my old Switch.

This video talks about some of the possible phone app uses. I was wondering how qr code patterns were going to work with no camera on the Switch, your phone has one! So it will probably be a catalog on the phone, like Splatoons, but with official and user created designs. Maybe we can preview the outfits on our Villager in the app.

Maybe GPS on the phone will allow location bonuses, like the 7-11 ones in Japan? I think that's how the Pokemon Pass app works. Pain in the rear end for some people I'm sure, but I'm kind of hyped for all the weird interactive poo poo they could do.

I'm not accepting friend requests for anyone named Epstein. Nintendo should add it to their blacklisted words before we are overrun with Epstein Islands!

There are a ton of Japanese friend recommendations on my Switch because of Pocket Camp. Kind of like when I had StreetPass on during a vacation there, and hit my daily limit often.

I'll take any fruit but cherries.

I hope there are no more foods. Recipes would add way too many functions, dozens of ingredients etc.

So one fruit's worth of energy to move a tree. 10 to move your house? 20 to move other buildings? Some kind of leveling up to raise your cap for the bigger things. You need 5 fruit to reel in a shark? I'm in.

They really need to release this to stop all this theorizing. Skip the Direct.

I'm pretty much alone for the first hour at work, and I guess I'll be eating lunch in my car to play for a while.

Being sent on my first business trip ever in May, my first thought was 4 straight days of AC in my hotel, and keeping in touch with my wife through the game. :P

I'm one of the loonies that has an OG Switch and Lite. If not even save transfer is a thing, I basically have to designate one Switch as the "AC console", right?

(I'm leaning toward Lite, but sucks if true.)

Ya, you'll have to pick one console. If it had a proper cloud save system I might have considered getting a Lite to play at work. Would suck less losing or breaking the cheaper one.

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!

Looks like even jailbroken iOS still can't make amiibo's.

I'll be offering my services once I find out how often you can invite from scanning. I ordered a few hundred stickers a while back for this.

Going to limit myself to one or two, so my island's growth will feel somewhat organic.

I hope the camera mode is similar to Mario odyssey’s freecam. I’ll spend hours trying to do funny photos

There's a freaking Say Cheese button that makes them look at the camera.

You can see all pan/zoom options, at 12:45 in the Direct. Looks like a button for filters too. 24:43 shows even more options in Harvey's studio. Guess I'm making a Twitter account just for AC.

Today I learned that I can't program my implanted NFC with an Amiibo. I'm very sad now.

Seeing that inventory expansion from 20 to 40 slots is amazing, and looks like everything can be stacked. Sucks that tools still take up slots, but the tool wheel helps a bunch. She even had a fan accessory bound to a slot.

Does the Magic Wand select outfits or single clothing pieces?

There's only 8 total hairstyles to choose from at the start?? In the Direct it shows 2 sets of 8 styles, and 8 colours you can unlock with Nook Miles. I'm guessing it's way more than that eventually.

So have gyroids not shown up anywhere in the previews so far? My little sister is freaking out that they won't be a thing and I don't have any evidence to actually say they are still around.

I like that they're not showing everything. I have a friend that has only played Pocket Camp and has no idea that K.K. is important.

If PAX is getting to play a demo this weekend, is it possible that they release a demo on the day the AC Switch comes out, a week earlier than the game?

On the map in the back of the airport, it shows the hidden beach that's on the back of every island, and a smaller island just off of it. That beach is only reachable after you can terraform, so what kind of endgame island could that be?

As much as I'd like an early demo, there are way too many people buying the Special Edition Switch that won't get to play it with the rest of us.

Also has anyone else noticed that every island we've seems to have a tiny outcrop of beach on the very north? And in the direct when showing off terraforming there's a brief clip of a villager clearing some cliffs to gain access to it before it cuts away? What secrets might that tiny beach hold???

The map on the wall in the airport shows a smaller island just off of that small beach. I don't think it's Harvey's, cuz he's gotta be available before terraforming. DJ KK Fyre Festival Island?

Holy poo poo balls.

I saw Froggy Chair trending on Twitter and it reminded me that the Direct was today. High def farting chair.

Gyroids was all I was waiting for, I even saw a blob fish one! The Happy Home thing is great for giving me directed missions since I'm not that creative with my own island.

Ugh, that direct just kept going and going with wonderful new things. Completely justified missing the 1 year anniversary for 2.0. They didn't forget about us.

I don't like the implication that you bury multiple bodies in the same spot

Going by the small town cemetery where my grandmother is buried, it's 4 cremations per plot, or one coffin and 2 cremations above it.

Due to the limited space on the island I'm assuming the numbers are even higher.

There are a million quality of life improvements they can add, but they won't

All of my storage issues could be solved by allowing bigger stacks of materials. Like allowing only 10 Star Fragments in one stack, so I have 3-4 rows of those. One of the feather materials form Pave doesn't even stack. I'm no programmer, but changing Wood from 30 to 99 doesn't seem like it would break anything.

Maybe it'll clean up all the stray tree branches I can't be bothered to pick up.

Just stick some branches behind houses or cliffsides, and they'll stop spawning. a brief googling tells me you have to hide 10, this works for small stones, but I'm not sure how many you have to hide.

On the back of my cliffside I hid a row of small stones, branches, and buried fossils.

It definitely will, Gyroids will be well worth it though.

I might even create another account to have a house dedicated to Gyroids.

It just dawned on me, with the addition of the new amiibo cards, I guess people can also create fake RFIDs for all those in-demand new-comers. Granted, it's a bit late now.

November 5th can't come soon enough.

Hahaha, death to the Raymond black market.

Oh no, there is no card for Pascal, I guess they only animated him in his swimming positions. He's one of my favs, watching him cracking his scallop while floating away, but it's such a pain in the rear end to see him.

Checking Pascal's wiki he was voiced by Takashi Miike in the anime!
