Just as I expected, great reviews!

GameXplain's review is up:

I hope the game doesn’t take a long time to unlock just the basics. That was a problem I had with New Leaf.

Judging from Nintendo Life's review, you're going to wait at least a single week.

IGN review has a poll asking what fruit you'd like to start with and lists Persimmon as one of the options. Not sure if this is a mistake, but it might at the very least confirm the return of Persimmons.

I’m not too concerned about these, I know enough to know I’m gonna love the game. Still, it’s nice to see that it’s getting good reviews!

 

[Blackreach]

Am i the only one whose really bummed out about no gyroids? It's one of my favorite things I loved about the game series and it's always been in the game, why get rid of it?!!?!?

Games do not need to be over 30 FPS to be good.

To bee a good game, not really. To look good, and sometimes be playable, they do. When you play games in 60FPS on 60Hz screens as long as I have, they do.

I can't even play Skyrim without it because it looks way too laggy/choppy compared to at anything under 45fps. I have to ask myself how I ever lived that way before when I played the original version of Skyrim on Xbox 360 all those years ago.

I don't foresee this being a problem for New Horizons due to the type of game it is, but it is depressing that we've yet to see a 60FPS entry in the series. I guess we have another thing for the list of improvements for the next mainline game. If I am not mistaken, Pocket Camp runs at 60FPS, if not even higher (I own a 90Hz phone), The visuals on Pocket Camp are stunning.

Guess the French guy was right after all!
From the Kotaku play journal:

• after a few days we are promoted to choose locations for three new villager houses
• we are tasked with crafting decorations for both the inside and outside of their houses!

I really hope we have some input into what goes outside, but it’s very possible we’re just following specific lists for each animal a la Pocket Camp.

Sounds like they wanted to incorporate the idea behind Happy Home Designer into a mainline game.

Well, yeah.. a game will look worse visually if its running at a slower frame rate than it was developed for. But ACNH was developed for 30 FPS, so it will look fine.

Games do not need to be over 30 FPS to be good.

Especially games not built for fast action.

About gyroids - Note that all of these reviews only got to play the game for about 2 weeks. I don't know if this is actually a confirmation that gyroids are gone.

I haven't seen villager counts mentioned in any of these, and it's probably for the same reason - they may not have maxed out their island's villager count by the end of 2 weeks.

Hi guys! This is a fairly new rule, so just want to remind those copying & pasting external reviews in their posts to please use the quotation tags.

I'm pretty sad too, I loved collecting them cause they were all so different and weird! Maybe we can "unlock" them later? I mean, there's not even the hourly music until a few days into the game so I still hope for gyroids

For whatever reason i am really enjoying Nintendo life videos on New Horizons. They upload their review as video and just watched it. One thing that haven’t seen noted yet is he mention when be was making a custom design that he wasn’t able to use the touch screen. If that continues to be true that would sucks for those who enjoy that.

I hope they’ll update the game in the future to include gyroids if there are none now.. my earliest memory of Animal Crossing is the confused wonder of digging up my first ever, a Drilloid, putting it in my house, and being like “wtf is this I love it” XD was really hoping to get my orange and blue buddy again in New Horizons

I wonder if that unlocks later. We can specifically see people using the touchscreen to make designs in some of Nintendo's official commercials for the game.

Not sure if anyone’s mentioned it, but IGN also revealed we can have animated wallpaper and flooring

My biggest wish is to have all gyroids return + brewster has a secret gyroid storage room in his cafe where you can enter it and get to store your gyroids in, man can only dream

I think we saw these in some trailer and stuff, but its nice to have proper confirmation

Can anyone find any mention of Brewster, Redd, swimming, diving, villager max, etc?

Nintendo World Report had some interesting things to say:

Another point of slight irritation is how often tools break. While I totally expected the flimsy tools to break quickly, I was surprised by how the regular tools are impacted as well. As I like to tend to flowers a lot, the moment my regular watering can broke, my mouth was locked into a blown away state. Outside of the ladder and vaulting pole, no tool is safe from eventual wear and tear.

While in the opening days, the variety of music is limited, this increases once the game opens up. Hourly music slowly starts to return, and with music tracks being a purchasable item early on, you can have different zones with their own tracks.

I don't know what to make of this?? Like I can't comprehend it.
