I'm looking forward to more Animal Crossing! I haven't played one since GameCube.

Same!

There was so much weird poo poo in that game. Ghosts who only came out late at night. Weird, antagonistic animals. Tortimer leaving on vacation and making you turn the lighthouse on every day while he was gone. The island you could only get to with a GameBoy Advance and Link Cable.

My favorite animal was always Scoot, the duck.

There's this whole playlist of old GameCube moments.

I'd completely forgotten that animals had umbrellas when it rained!

Also if there's DLC for the old GameCube soundtrack I will buy that in a heartbeat.

OK, so after listening, I think the 1AM song on the original GameCube soundtrack is the best. But I might have to listen to all of them again repeatedly just to make sure.

It's really good music for coding, which I would not have expected.

Bluebear noticed I was carrying a vaulting pole and it reminded me of an old model she had as a kid. It was called StickThing. Then she sang me the theme song.

Though I did appreciate the lighting effect they did of the sun reflecting off of CJ's glasses. I thought that was nicely done. But I could do without his "don't forget to like and subscribe" routine every time I wanna sell him some fish.

What's interesting is that he only puts on the show for you, the human villager (or visiting players). If there's other animals in the plaza with him he's still okay with relaxing. I mean wtf are these other animals in on it. How deep does this rabbit hole go??? :tinfoil:

One my villagers said something about asking if he was hot in that suit, but Zipper denied it being a suit.

The whole "dancing madly and then sighing when nobody is looking" thing reminds me of the Jhonen Vasquez comic "Filler Bunny," who existed only to space out comics and was in constant agony.

Could the flickering be an early sign of a hardware problem? It seems weird how it crosses certain islands on the same Switch.

The Oarfish model is very disappointing. It needs to be about 3x bigger than it is, to truly sell how shocking it is the first time you catch one.

Instead, you get this tiny 2x1 thing that barely looks like anything.

e: nintendo pls include an update to let you choose what footstep sound paths make, it kills me that custom designs sound like I'm walking on carpet

I noticed that too, as well as the home-made Wishing Tree. Great stuff.

Nintendo, I would pay so much for the OG soundtracks as DLC. I need my GameCube 1am music.

They really went all-out for the New Year's Eve celebration.

There are specific tracks for:
11:00 - 11:29pm
11:30 - 11:49pm
11:50 - 11:54pm
11:55 - 11:59pm
Countdown
12:00am - 1:59am
2:00am - 4:00am
Day after

Plus all the camera work, new outfits, hats, the "sparkling cider," and all the dialogue. Truly something special.

2am is a great track and I wish there was a way to listen to it in-game if you didn't happen to be up at that hour.

I'm not sure what it is, but the last few months my villagers keep commenting how bold my face looks. I was blue for a while for Halloween, but that changed in November? It's so weird.

Hmm. How long has it been since we've had an update. I assume there's one planned for March for the year anniversary but I don't know if they'll do anything else before then. Valentine's Day, maybe?

For some reason, I thought there would only be two Warp Pipes on any island, but now it sounds like there can be a lot of them. Interesting...

Place two Warp Pipes on your island to warp between them, even with one in your home! If you place more than two, the warp location will be chosen randomly.

Happy Easter!

My wife put together an easter egg hunt and uploaded it as a dream. I figured I'd share:

Caketown: DA-8519-6902-3640

There are 100 eggs to find, 4 wood and 1 water are in particularly tricky spots. We ended up finding 103 so there are a few extra. Everything can be accessed with just a (provided) ladder.

This is really, really cool! Nicely done!

He also adds that, despite its absence from the company’s E3 presentation, New Horizons remains a big part of Nintendo’s future. “While we didn’t talk about it [during the E3 Nintendo Direct], we absolutely have plans going forward to ensure the 33 million people who have islands out there have new and fun activities to engage with,” Bowser says. “Look for more to come.”
