nice things ive noticed:

- i see a jungle gym and outside rocking horses (perfect for building a playground)
- kicks is in front of the town hall while harvey is walking around in town
- you can still write messages on the switch (you dont need the app)
- when villagers ping you they say "Hey (your name)!"
- the museum is amazing (but we already knew that)
- you can buy party poppers and umbrellas from the nooklings store



here is another video that also shows the booth set up

Ahhh this makes me so very eager to play! My hands are itching and my stomach is doing backflips!

Concerned though...when they went in the museum where is the art section? Did I miss it?
And...they already had all the shops, but only 5 villagers?

 

[Snowesque]

Not checking the extra shop doors? For shame !

 

[DinoDymo]

The museum!!! Tom and Isabelle were dusting!!! I can't.

It also confirms that there is indeed an onscreen keyboard for online talking as well.

Then so far, the only features that the real world app gives us that are exclusive are voice chat (don't care) and QR codes (care a LOT!).

there were stairs to upstairs maybe thats were the art is?

 

[Aubrey895]

Omg I love that the animals don't stand in one place waiting for you to come in the shop! Also Bianca was looking in the mirror. SO cute.

 

[bubbleblib]

1:36 Bianca be checking herself out in the heart vanity mirror! XD How cute~♪ Goes to show there are even more villager interactions than we currently know of~

It looked like the second floor you could view from the 1st and I didnt see any openings. Idk maybe it upgraded though.

REALLY hoping your 'resident' list expands past those 10 slots and kinda sad that players take up villager spaces it looks like. Especially since that would mean even if it didn't expand, the most villagers you could have is 9 because it includes player in the list. Here's to hoping it makes a scroll bar once you get enough to fill the first 10...

I am worried too. I want more player houses than just mine and many villagers. Hopefully there will be a scroll bar. They made the villagers so lifelike...so surly they would't cut the list down so much.

I imagine they would. It makes no sense to have, for example, 2 players and 8 villagers, but then you can't make a 3rd player because the island is "full".

 

[bubbleblib]

Oh wow I love the fact that it is so much easier to tell when a villager is trying to get your attention now. I would often miss out on interactions like these as I would notice too late whilst running around that the villager was trying to flag me down. At 12:36 Nate the bear calls out to you and even has a little chat bubble!

 

[Aubrey895]

I wish they would share how many villagers we can have.

The person in charge of that session stressed me out. She really limited how much everyone got to see imo :c and dodnt appear to know much about the game besides the controls as opposed to like... every ac fan ever o uo;;

 

[Khaelis]

Oh, I believe I heard one of the reps say you can zoom out by clicking in the right control stick, causing the camera to zoom out. I think this refers to looking up at the sky?

They probably have to due to the higher ups (Nintendo).

 

[Aubrey895]

I like how in multiplayer now the other players don't hold the same tool as they did at the e3 trailer.

idk in the video it did look like zoomed out a bit. Kinda like the view from the gamecube game.

Yea but what's the point in restricting where you go if it's a demo map just dont add anything you dont want people to see
