Animal Crossing Direct Discussion Thread

[Bugs]

Okay, so, I've been pretty vocal about my disdain towards Nintendo recently, and telling everybody they aren't gonna add anything substantial...

...Obviously I take all that back. This rules. I'm so happy they listened to so much feedback, and the new update looks like it'll completely throw me back into the game I might even buy Happy Home Paradise since I actually really liked Happy Home Designer

So my question is: The villagers in the new DLC island. Are they going to be the same villagers from our original island or will it be compleyely new ones? Really hoping its the second one. Did anyone catch which it is?

also did people catch how you eventually will be able to decorate your original villagers houses? Super excited about that.

New ones, it's random but you can scan in specific characters with Amiibos if you want. You can invite your main island villagers to the HHP archipelago by gifting them souvenirs from the HHP store.

The trailer showed that the villagers on your island will ask for homes there, so I would say the same (Not counting past villagers)

So so excited! There is so much more in this direct than I had even hoped for! Maybe in the future they will let us have more design spaces (I hate to even mention this since they gave us sooooo much - it's like a whole new game!

That's great! I can have more of my favourites then

 

[Insulaire]

I assume HHP has a mechanic similar to Pocket Camp: randomly populated each day by different villagers to help, but you can also call someone specifically

So excited for this , so many amazing things added . I will have to rewatch it a few times

cooking
Farming
New furniture and DIY’s
NPC’s finally having their shops
Brewster: I am surprised no mini game
Kapp’n returns but no mini games so excited for new plants
Being able to decorate villagers houses.
being able to customize the rest of the furniture

I don’t mind paying for the DLC I’m just wondering about something

I have two characters on each on both my islands Will I have to pay for the dlc for each character or is it tied to the game and I will have to pay for each island, I would love for the dlc to ge for each character on both islands but not sure how that works or how much it would be total.

They’re SOOO cute! My husband saw Shino and was fangirling over her. LOL

 

[Biyaya]

YES! That direct was PACKED! I'm super excited to have a job as a Happy Home designer! I'm going to come back to my island and redo the whole island soon.

Side note: I remember Harvey having a little crush on Shampoodle, so I was super giddy to see them in matching little outfits.

 

[Dracule]

Also, does anyone know if the villagers who you build homes for in HHP will stay there? If so, I wanna make sure I’m designing homes along with my actual island theme. Haha

 

[Violet Witch]

One more thing I’m excited about is being able to experience the new updates and expansion pack with everyone else. I wasn’t a ACNH fan when the game first came out so I never got to experience those first days of excitement whilst playing the game.

 

[Envy]

One thing I'm super hyped for is K.K. Fuge, which given the artwork is more K.K. Fugue. I adore the fugue genre in music. I'm really hoping for something Bach-like. lol

 

[psiJordan]

I just watched it and I might start crying
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen

 

[Maymeows16]

Omg I did not expect any of this but I'm so excited! I never really loved Gyroids before but they look so cute here and they brought so much stuff from New Leaf again =D
Also does anyone know if we can use Internet I Kappns Island tours like in New Leaf? And are those new villagers from the paid DLC available to move to your island since they have Amiibo cards?

 

[michealsmells]

im shaking and yelling and screaming and yelling and screaming. everything looks so amazing and it will all be mine and my island is getting a complete overhaul just watch me i just AHHHHHH

i wish i had anything constructive to say about this update but all i really can say is THANK YOU NINTENDO. they were silent on purpose they were waiting to drop the BOMB of the century on us.

If it's anything like HHD, the animals you design homes for will roam around the HHP archipelago and interact with the facilities you design. And you are able to revisit the homes you designed for them from a catalogue. Multiple villagers can occupy the same plot of land, so the number of homes you can design is not limited by the number of plots.

 

[JasonAldeanMG]

I am so excited for this! I hope they make tons of the Series 5 cards, they are going to a hot item this year. I love the gyroids fragments. I can't wait to make a bigger farm on my island!
Will we be able to serve villagers coffee as in New Leaf? Or at least gift them a coffee?
I hope if we have Happy Home Paradise we will be able to expand our home rooms.

 

[corlee1289]

VILLAGERS CAN DROP IN AGAIN!! <333

They brought all the things I loved from New Leaf into the game and MORE!

 

[Moritz]

I have something super petty to say.
And it's not a pro nor con against nintendo directly.

People keep saying that nintendo have listened to us.
They haven't.
Not really.

Some of the stuff was not datamined in the past, but data mines show they have been working on this for a very long time. Over a year.

I'm highly doubtful that much if any of our feedback was taken into account.

I believe the most it did was speed up the progress of the development.

I dont say that at all to take away from anyones joy.
We should all be very happy because there are only one or 2 things that this update does not bring to make this the definitive game in the series. Like dont even bother with the rest levels of greatness. And with the paid dlc. Wow I'm blown away.

But yeah. I believe our feedback was not really listened to and this was the plan since before launch.
Just covid hit their schedule.
