Animal Crossing Direct Discussion Thread

I'm back to excitedly yell!!! But I'm slightly calmer this time lol so I'll just yell a little bit.

I know it's been said multiple times, but I'm literally so shocked. I was expecting Brewster, annnd... well, I don't know what else. I was assuming whatever else they added wouldn't be of interest to me but I was so wrong!!

I can't believe how cute the gyroids are this time around. And being able to customize things you couldn't before is really cool!! It's nice that Reese and Cyrus have that role again. I'm obsessed with the vines and the extra bridges / inclines will be so nice! Also, I LOVE that you can set a ladder up at the cliffs. I've tried to do that before for the aesthetic but because they're at an angle, it didn't look good. So it's cool they added that!

That item it looked like you cooked from, like the little cauldron, I'm very excited for that because it's cute. And did anyone else see the little jam jars!! This is so great!

I think I saw the wysteria trellis at one point (edit: just noticed somebody posted a photo of what I saw!) which I would love to put in my village! Maybe that means other PWPs (they probably showed some??), and I'm hoping for the bus stop in particular!

Because some old furniture sets are coming back (maybe all?), did anyone notice anything from the rococo set?? I didn't see, but maybe I missed it!

windmill and (remodeled) bus-stop are both in there. former is a NM item, latter is in HHP. rococo chair and sofa were also seen, so the rest of the set is probably coming too.
 
It's looking like between the free update and the paid DLC there's a LOT of new furniture. I'm starting to seriously wonder if most of the furniture we've all been waiting for (the missing furniture from NL, some stuff from PC, and even new stuff) is part of this.

This is probably going to fix all of the "not enough furniture" complaints that people (I include myself here!) have had I'm betting. Oh, that's exciting.
 
Watched and thought, what a great free update! And then they started on the paid DLC and I don't even know anymore! 😭❤ This was so much more content than I was expecting and I am so happy! 🎉

Also, Niko and Wardell are adorable. Lovely to see Faith and Azalea back. Poor Petunia got renamed. 🦏❤

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.

Ooooh! Thank you so much! I never owned HHD, so this is fantastic! I’m definitely going to keep that in mind for HHP.
 
I was so extremely happy to see them bringing older villagers from the older games back! I longed to see what Roswell will be like, I love his design~! Would love to see if the older wolf villager - Tarou - will be apart of the new update. The older characters definitely look better in the new graphics.
Shino looks like a fav among us all, she looks stunning.
I was in tears when the update said we could add walls and stuff to the rooms from the DLC, that's fantantic; I was just thinking how they should have done that.

That’s good to know, I was worried that there might be a limit based on available land. I wonder if this means we’ll be able to design a home for every villager plus eligible NPCs? That’s well over 400 homes to work on if so, so that’s a TON of things to do!
 
I am thankful they have added many new features to this as the last major free update.
I adored the spinoff of Happy Home Designer on the 3DS so was surprised but so happy they decided to run with a switch version.

Can you link to them please? I tried scrolling through the Animal Crossing Reddits and I mostly just saw memes.

hmmm...

I'm really happy with the direct and seeing all the new stuff added, the old NPCs making a return.
However I was really hoping that Kapp'n would take us to an island to play mini games or there'd be something more added to the online multiplayer feature. It kinda seems like it's just gunna be another mystery island tour which would get boring quick. :confused:

I do think they could possibly expand Kapp’n’s role and maybe offer a paid DLC for mini games? Like, say you can choose different options before he takes you just like with Dodo Airlines.

So, I wouldn’t rule out multiplayer just yet, because it seems stupid on Nintendo’s part to not expand the interaction when they already have plenty to go off of from previous installments.

Mini games were never a big thing for me since I tend to play solo (unless I’m trading), but I do feel bad for those who were really hoping for an expansion on multiplayer interaction. Hopefully we’ll have something in the future! :’[

I haven’t played or been super active on this forum in the past year. Due to getting laid off in spring 2020 I played pretty much 24/7 till about November when I went back to work and got busier and frankly had some burnout. I started playing less and less as the updates began to be smaller and less interesting(the overwhelming amount of flowers doesn’t help). But now I’m super excited to get back into the game. I’m excited for a real coffee shop, new furniture, and HHP. The new villagers/NPCs are super cute too.
I have some thoughts/questions:
How can we decorate the plaza if KK will still show up Saturdays?
I notice in the screenshot of the nook mile store something about a design+ thing? It had the clothing design symbol. Is that new?
Anyways I’m super excited!!!
