Okay but Its this early and i can see Shino is highly popular, maybe she can beat Raymond? Her villager price could be 100k NMTs lol and people will overprice the new villager! Haha villager hype wave 2 Will soon begin! Prepare yourself!

For me, i rather wait until the hype is over

 

[DaCoSim]

im pretty satisfied but I do have one worry…… there’s a massive amount of new items, and i suspect that it might even be more than some are thinking. i remember how like 5,000+ items or something were discovered in the games code some time ago, but here’s my concern - how many of the items will we have access to decorate our island? because i seen so many things I wanna use for my island in the hhp portion of the video but im just wondering if a lot of the new items will only be usable in hhp. idk

I don't see why they would make any of it exclusive to designing houses in HHP. I'm sure it's all unlockable.

Honestly, the real question is how much of this is obtainable in the free update vs how much is obtainable in the HHP DLC only. I'm sure it'll all be tradeable, but I mean some of it you may not be able to obtain without trading if you don't have HHP. We'll see.

Considering we can purchase items from the HHP main building (like at Harvey’s Campground in NL), I think we should be able to catalogue anything we buy from there. Idk if any items we unlock from designing will be available in our catalogue though . This will be a community effort to get everything… LOL.

Edit: Oh, but I just read on another thread that campground items were not reorderable in NL, so that means it’s going to be really difficult to collect all the stuff we’d want if the items are un-orderable in the catalogue.

It was a pain in the butt with many trades, but I managed to collect all of the campground WA items in NL just by trading with people here. I don't have any WA amiibo. The worst part of it was the storage limitations and being forced to keep everything because it was all non-reorderable.

I love NL, but if I had to pick something I hate about NL, it's that way too much furniture (especially post-WA update) is non-reorderable and they don't give you enough storage space for it all. You're basically forced to have multiple characters in your town just to store it all.

I need these..

 

[SoftCrowbar]

I’m so excited for this update dlc and the amiibo cards but I am *terrified* of the amiibo cards as a collector. After the Sanrio fiasco I’m worried about availability and scalpers.

@Dracule I love those pics you posted. I need that bacon frying piece. I want to just deck my entire island in bacon. I'm going to invite all pig villagers and gift them bacon. I need the bacon.

Bacon bacon baacooon!

None of the new villagers really speak to me so far, but otherwise I'm super satisfied. A new octopus is good, I can definitely see the appeal for Shino and Ione, even if they're not for me, but they probably won't earn a place on my island.

Here's something new I haven't seen anyone on TBT discuss:

The NookLink service in the Nintendo Switch Online app will be receiving an update on Nov. 5 as well, which will add more in-game items you can redeem with Nook Points and an island newspaper so you can read about the happenings on your island each day. You’ll also be able to check out tips for island living from Island Life 101 and view the Happy Home Network, all from the convenience of your smart device.

I guess I will be redownloading the NSO app onto my phone when I get NSO again (probably shortly after the update). I'm curious what "island happenings" said newspaper will tell us and if it'll actually be useful.

 

[todytode]

This is really exceeded my expectation! I'd kept my expectation low so I couldn't be disappointed, but this is just amazing even greater than my dream!

 

[Ace Marvel]

I was thinking, we were only getting Brewster and maybe gyroids, so I'm blown away.

I feel that we finally have a complete game, so idk what to expect in the future, but I can see myself going back to game for a while.

 

[EtchaSketch]

SASHA AND SHINO!!!!


GARDENING AND COOKING!! CUSTOMIZABLE GRYROIDS!!

SCREAMING UNCONTROLLABLY????

 

[Bluebellie]

I see they mention town ordinance. I wonder what the whole beautiful town ordinance is about. In new leaf it was so that the plants wouldn’t die, but in new horizons, the plants don’t die. So I’m wondering what’s new there.

 

[HappyTails]

I was watching the stream AGAIN and during the stretching sequence, anyone else notice Bonbon over there on the far left was completely out of tune with everyone else? Like when everyone else was on one part of the stretching, she was lagging behind. I wonder if that was intentional.

So I double checked and in ACNL the other benefits were:

• Villagers are more likely to water or plant flowers (?Villagers don't plant in ACNH)
• Time traveling does not affect the town's environment
• Cockroaches will not appear at all
• Weeds will appear less often
• Hybrids are 20% more likely to spawn
• Trash will no longer be fished out of the water
• Flowers do not die (Irrelevant in ACNH)

Oh gotcha! Thank you! I will not be choosing that. It was my go to in new leaf though. That whole part with the cockroaches not appearing, just won’t do. They are my favorite.

I haven’t been on this site for months because I haven’t touched AC:NH for months but O.M.G !! I can’t believe what I’m seeing !! I’m super stoked about so many things , especially COOKING!! I’m watching the videos again because I’m so happy that I’m crying inside !! THANK YOU NINTENDO !! Being patient definitely paid off !!

I think it was the one I had in NL just because I was already drowning in bells and the hours changes didn't matter cause I adjusted my clock anyway haha. Aw shame about the cockroaches if you want to keep them!

 

[Miss Misty]

Honestly I'm impressed by everything the update showed us. It added in a lot of things that were either glaringly missing or just felt obvious. It was a lot more than I was expecting, but I guess that's to be expected since they decided to just drop all of it at once in a big 2.0 update rather than piecemeal it out. I'm lowkey not upset that they're done with the content since I've been so waffle-y on actually terraforming and finishing my island so knowing that we're done as far as major updates goes means that I can decorate to my heart's content without that lingering doubt that a better item or pattern or something might be coming.

Even the paid DLC looks enticing since it's essentially just extra mini-game content. I'll probably pick it up just for something extra to do in my free time.

The new villagers look cool and while I don't think I'd add any to my island without extra villager slots, I don't mind them for people who wanted new villagers. It was really nice to see the returning villagers as well after all the polls we did this past year about the missing ones of each species.

Overall I am super excited for November 5th!

 

[Sansy]

My mind is so blown away by this update. I stopped playing ACNH back in February of this year... but now I'm super SUPER excited to pick the game back up. I didn't think the update would be THIS big.
