• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Animal Crossing Direct Discussion Thread

All that being said, booting up HHD made me look forward to the 2.0 update and the HHP DLC even more. It's not just that I want to play it. I want to see how creative the community can get with these new tools and new + returning furniture.

This !!! I cant wait to see all the islands and designs of the community 🤩 i loved the creativity of people in this game, and after this update it can only get better!
Dream islands visiting will be great !
 
So, I only have to wait until the fourth.. A day sooner but, still a long ways away 🙏🏽
 
Just checked the Japanese twitter account, and the update releases in Japan on November 5th as well, so it is very likely we will see it very late in the evening on November 4th, or shortly after 12AM Nov 5th.
This would be great!
 
You know im happy the amiibo cards are only 48 for the series 5 but at the same time I am sad they did not introduce the cute little bat villagers i saw around the forum
 
I heard Walmart released pre orders for the cards but, scalpers bought them all. :rolleyes: I also heard Happy Home Paradise is strictly DLC so, you'll need space for it.

Also, if you unsubscribe to Nintendo online you'll lose access to the DLC but, you'll keep everything you learned and earned from the DLC itself.

If you buy the standalone DLC you don't lose access to the DLC. You only lose access to it if you don't buy the standalone DLC and if you are playing the DLC through the new, more expensive, expanded tier of Nintendo Switch Online.
 
Does anyone know if there are pics of the new villagers (or their amiibo cards) already available in high resolution and/or also bigger than 500x500? I would like to have a profile pic of Petri, but I couldn't find a good upload of their amiibo card or a nice pic in general.

I found this from Reddit

I decided to go ahead and sit down and rewatch the direct carefully, and these are some things I am wondering or just wanted to comment on. (not the DLC)

- Inviting Characters to Brewster's will this be all characters that have an amiibo, or is it just npcs? I found it odd how they mentioned amiibo cards and figures, and only showed npc characters entering Brewster's in the direct. Or maybe I am just being silly. Since they are able to bring friends I wonder if the dialog will be the same whether you invited Label, Mable, or Sable since they tend to show up together anyway.
- Plaza I wonder if the stretching sessions have a few routines and few music tracks to choose from or if it is the same one every time.
- Cooking I saw canned fish and a fish dish and I know Turkey Day was kinda like a glimpse into what cooking would be if they added and it is nice that we will be using more than just crops we grow. I also saw a dish that looked like it had green pepper slices on top of it as if someone cut one up horizontally. (this was in the shot that showed the diy pictures) I saw pickles :D and I saw jam. I kind of wonder how we will make these canned items. Will we start finding empty jars on the beach to use for this?
-Decor I wonder if there will be any shelves that we can put our own stuff on. I wonder if there will be more than 3 ceiling lights to use.
- Fencing looks really nice. When they said that some fencing can be customized, I wonder if it is only the fences we had already that can be, while the new ones will not have that option.
- Sable's Designs are better than alot of the wall paper we already had so I am glad they are giving more use to those designs.
-Nook items, they added a ferris wheel which is nice, but I wonder if you can customize it. I was hoping it would match the teacup rides. The one they showed looks like it would go with the colorful variation. Also nice to see another style of a lamp post, so now we have two styles.
Many of the items looked like they may have an animation when you click on them, but I wouldn't count on it. Would be nice though.
- Sad that kk doesn't get his own stage/spot/tent? Is he just going to continue to sit in the rain with his wooden guitar blocking our way?
- Gyroids They are new to me, but I have been learning more about them in New Leaf recently. While I like what I see in New Horizons with them, I am not happy that they are pretty much all cutesy. Yes they are cute, yes I like them, but I also like how the older ones were too?? Decor doesn't have to be cutesy stuff all the time. You can have some weird, cool, creepy, and bizarre styles of decor as well. Maybe I am a little harsh and maybe they would look better in other color variations than what was shared in the direct. I liked the shape warping animation from new leaf.
- I wonder what the limit of ladder kits are, but between those and the increase in ramps and inclines, I am sure most islands will be easier to navigate now.
- The small spaces thing, that is really nice for couches and certain chairs that are near tables. That was much needed. However I also feel like it may encourage some people to pack their already tightly packed island more which could be a bigger negative for dream addresses. Like after a while of playing new horizons I kind of stopped dreaming because I was tired of constantly finding this islands that were so packed the switch lagged. But maybe that won't matter for much longer since this is the last update of New Horizons.
- furniture I saw some nice pieces like a scrapebook a new magazine rack, even some food items at nooks opposed to food items you craft- or maybe they are shared, looks like some furniture sets are added which was much needed in this game.
- Villagers visits. I hope more dialog was added and the ability to make/give food and drinks you make to them. In new leaf it seemed like that was often mentioned... so it really should be in new horizons.
- new foliage outside is also nice.

EDIT as a side note, I wouldn't expect new fruit that comes from trees in this update nor the DLC. I bet they will do that in the next AC game since cooking and farming is an added new feature and this is the last update for new horizons, they will want to expand on cooking, farming, and production (canned things) in a new game.

I think you get visits at The Roost from all kinds of characters (including villagers and NPCs). It seems like Amiibo visitors will sit at the table in the lower left side, random encounters sit at the “bar” and you also get random visits to get coffee to go.
