Compiled a bunch of notes from the above video for you all:i
- You are the mayor but you don't have to play that aspect of the game much. You can sort of ignore it if you want.
- Expanded clothing options (ex: shirts and pants because the characters are taller)
- BOYS CAN WEAR SKIRTS! I'm so doing that
- You can customize your town more freely (ex: customizable outside furniture like benches and streetlights)
- The beach is greatly expanded
- The railroad is back from the Gamecube game
- There's a shopping mall (so... they've basically incorporated ideas from the city into the main town)
- The villagers height has been modified too. You can really tell the difference between a tall and short villager.
- You now have a secretary "Shizu" who's sort of your assistant since you're the mayor now
- You can take your furniture to shops to be modified
- Stuff like changing patterns (ex: sofa cushions with a heart on them)
- Before you could change the roof colour but those options have been expanded to walls, fences and even mail posts
- Exchange your home design using Streetpass to be displayed as a model home to others
- You can view houses of strangers now through Tom Nook
- He's now a real estate agent instead of a shopkeeper!
- Lots of new music
- The entire village overall is larger
- The sound director plays a new song from the game for us (

- The game's release is still a while away
