AC:NH ~ What We Know So Far

[numbernine]

There better be bridges... I mean if they don't include them I will throw a fit but I find that extremely unrealistic. You'd have to carry that damn thing around constantly. A permanent space taken from your pocket. I was put off by this but I am sure that you build bridges as you develop the town. If you can legit pave paths then surely you can build bridges.

they will have bridges, the npcs have to have a way to cross.

In the trailer, you can see a craft bench outside and one in fuscia's house too. That combined with the phrasing 'should I craft something on Tom Nook's workbench' leads me to think that maybe you can craft or buy more crafting benches and not be dependent on using Nook's exclusively.

I'm glad Aya showed it didn't cost bells to use Nook's workbench for crafting since it was ~*~our DIY recipe~*~

Exactly! Unless they make them pole vault. But that's doubtful. NPC pathing is...questionable at times.

Wait wait! I forgot. I saw this when I originally watched the Treehouse stream but I was so overwhelmed that I didn't take note.

On the beach, something kinda spits water out of the sand? Could this be like clams or ghost shrimp something else that burrows?

Here's a pic.



And here's the spot in the Treehouse that shows that for reference: https://youtu.be/dEh3MPy4GAU?t=320

Also, secondly, you know what I didn't see at all? Star-shaped little areas for fossils or gyroids. I'm sure this is just a forgotten detail they didn't include for the sake of the early gameplay. But my paranoid side is praying that it is not indicitive of any removal of the buried items feature.

Not only the player, but also animal villagers do. I could see the hamster wandering around was sometimes looking down on the ground he was walking on.

They're clams you can use for crafting fishing bait, according to the Treehouse stream.

An article from IGN claims that Isabelle is in the game, but you have to unlock her. Tom Nook offers different services to upgrade your island depending on what you build and how much debt you pay back.

Was about to come and post the same article as Ossiran.
There's some more detail about how things work, too!

 

[Ably.Saucey]

Eeeeeeeeeeee! I don't know how I feel about all this stuff ( because I handle charge poorly) but I'm excited.

 

[Ossiran]

Another small detail I noticed is from the trailer when the player character was crafting the ax: When Tom Nook and Timmy Nook are cheering, instead of clapping they now slap their bellies in a very typical tanuki fashion.

I hope there are amiibo's. I have so many and the cards.

 

[SensaiGallade]

Thank you for the info complied together.

If you want this thread pinned, go onto the OP post and report it, stating you think it should be pinned.

I noticed a lack of new tree types, and the only bush I saw was at the side or back of a house.

I hope there are still bushes.
New tree types would have been nice.

I was rewatching the trailer and noticed that the whole island is covered in grass,, like every shot I've seen, there's no dirt patches or any sign of the grass dying
Does that mean we dont have to worry about the grass deteriorating? Maybe it'll be fixed as they work on it idk

 

[Fey]

What color was Hamster's name? Might be a gender or personality thing, special characters like Nook being black.

I?m pretty sure it was Yellow/Brown, which would match Hamlet?s character design. Of course that might still just be a coincidence, or a decision that doesn?t make it into the final game. Still, I thought it was neat!

I thought the same thing. They did show in one of the videos (the Direct itself, not the Treehouse video) a player's character digging up the grass and making a dirt path. Let me look for it again.

Here it is. I don't know how to make a direct link to the time in YouTube videos, but go to about the 1:07 mark.

(Also, at the 1:01 mark I noticed the character digging up a tree and putting it in their pocket. We can relocate trees now without having to buy a new sapling and waiting for it to grow? I love that!)

oh god am i glad i found this thread- so many things i didn't notice myself aaaaaah

so incredibly excited for this to come out and even though waiting will be awful i'm glad they're putting so much time and effort and care into this game so that when it does come out, it'll be awesome. i'm most excited for the multiplayer aspect (multiple people playing at one time on the same switch AHHH), flowers n flower crowns, all these unlockable features (slowly unlocking isabelle and all the other npcs?? slowly bringing civilization to the island???? yes please), and just having a new ac mainline game!!!

i'm so excited to play acnh :''''''')

Looking at the Treehouse footage again where they show the DIY recipes. The bg for recipes seem to reflect the main material used in making them. I'm personally reading the categories at the top as follows:

Tools, furniture/deco, food deco, hanging deco, floor/walls, clothing/accessories, miscellaneous (as shown when she is at Nook's buying item screen), buildings/pwp, and starred recipes.

Edit: the IGN article also says you start off with two Villagers, presumably they are the ones side by side on the map, so presumably you get to choose where they go!

 

[dizzy bone]

I don't know if it is confirmed but I'm assuming that the inventory section has a separate section for clothes? (there was a little shirt icon in the inventory section) Or that could just be the toggle for changing your character's look.

I’m pretty sure it was Yellow/Brown, which would match Hamlet’s character design. Of course that might still just be a coincidence, or a decision that doesn’t make it into the final game. Still, I thought it was neat!

I went back to the part where they speak to Fuchsia in the Treehouse, and her name bubble was yellow text with a bright pink background, so I assume they're matched to the villagers now.
