20 mins of gameplay from PAX

I may be wrong actually. When they showed the map, what was the building on the bottom right?

I'm not sure I have to rewatch. But I thought it was an upgraded timmy and tommy store. Since it has the same board on the outside I thought they just decorate for the season. but maybe there is another store.

Blathers actually reacts when you show off a bug! That's amazing!

Just hearing that 4pm theme is making me want to play the game with headphones

WOAH WOAH WAIT, ARE STONES BREAKABLE? DOES THAT MEAN NOT EVEN STONES ARE PERMANENT AND YOU CAN NEVER BE BOTHERED BY A STONE PLACED IN A REALLY STUPID PLACE EVER AGAIN?

Wow, that 5pm theme is kinda funky, I like it

One broke, but the other seemed unbreakable. Reminds me of the gem rock.
 
^ I wouldn't be surprised at anything they said (because it feels like most things people have been wanting for years have been making it into this game - even Blathers' blathering is back!), but I haven't seen any evidence of that yet either. I'm curious where they got their info. The 20 minute demo wouldn't of shown a move out most likely.

They're apparently at PAX, and its possible a rep told them information.
 
So, some rocks will be permanent and some will be destroyed for the greater good, sounds fair.

maybe its a difference in how you approach it? like how sometimes you cut down a tree but sometimes you just collect materials. there might be a different way to break them than to hit them.

If all rocks are breakable... that would mean there are no permanent rocks and they respawn daily? Huge if true.
 
Looking forward to when someone puts together an analysis writeup (or better video) about all of the stuff people have found at PAX. I have tried a few times today to watch these videos and between the PAX background noise and the tediousness of watching the Nintendo employees explaining basic Animal Crossing things... I can only get a few minutes into any of them at best.

It feels like the equivalent of trying to watch someone's fan recorded video of a concert while they were in the crowd, and you can barely hear the music and end up just seeing mostly peoples' heads while the camera is shaking too much. I can't. It's annoying.

GameXplain on Youtube normally does these sort of things and they did a first impressions video earlier today and they mentioned that the reps are pretty strict, likely under heavy NDA contracts. So outside of footage of the small area they can play in, we won't really learn much that's new. Anything that was new, we've pretty much already covered and posted about ourselves on this thread.
 
Is anyone else getting a real impression that they've gone back over the previous games and brought back a lot of older things?

Messages in a bottle
Blathers blathering again
The top down view returning (sorta)
Glowing ground spots and money trees

In particular I'm getting the vibe that they were really looking to the Gamecube version of the game again.

It didn't feel like New Leaf had so many...."throwbacks". (Am I forgetting something?)

It seems rocks are breakable using fruit power!

https://youtu.be/NJzbHaEENgo Another video with some actual good audio has been uploaded. You can actually hear the 4 and 5 PM themes and more of the island is shown that was not in the other videos.

Ehh, I dunno know. The 4PM and 5PM themes are incredibly uninteresting.

Then again, going back to check, the 4PM theme in New Leaf Wasn't all that great either.

Yeah, I was very surprised they added the option for the top-down view, very GC-esque. The music sounds very GC like as well, very funky and quirky.
