[LilD]

Just finished watching. Everything I wanted and more. Much more. I can't believe all of the new additions. I'm so excited for all of us, it's looks so amazing.

A lovely detail I noticed is that the dodos are named after the wright brothers! Such a nice detail that I noticed

 

[Fey]

So my basic takeaway is that we can’t be a mayor anymore.

We
are
GOD

I'm about to rewatch it.

I watched it earlier with my kids, but I am sure I missed things because we were all four exitedly howling like a pack of mad banshees over what we were seeing.

 

[Feraligator]

Lol get on my level, I've watched it like 7 times already

Yep! It's cute. Also D0D0 was used somewhere <3

So my basic takeaway is that we can’t be a mayor anymore.

We
are
GOD

We are everywhere.

One thing I haven't seen is this - will there be differences if we play multiplayer? For example, in New Leaf, certain bugs and fish were unavailable. The scorpion was one of those, I think. It would be awfully nice to be able to play local multiplayer and be able to scorpion hunt. I have way too many memories of it taking me forever to catch a scorpion because I'd miss with my net and it would sting me. It'd be way easier to catch one if others can help you!

I don't know about you, but I really want to hear Reggie say that he's going to be playing AC on his Nintendo Switch

How long can the town names be

The town in the direct was named "Nintenland", so at least 10.

 

[Romaki]

Does anyone else think that they fixed the saturation? I swear it was worse before...

TERRAIN FREAKING EDITOR AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Also, I'm going to call my town "Muunspore." As in Sunspore, but moon, but spelt weird. The character limit is at least 10 for your town.
And, Muunspore will have a stone brick town on the bottom left, grey, warm; top left, cold, grey, town; top right, nature; bottom right, surrounded by a river, the shopping district.

With this level of customization for our islands, even my uncreative behind can make something nice! I'm also reevaluating my island's name choices... If there's at least ten characters I may name it something a bit more wordy. Like, "Heartvale" or "Karakura"! Maybe even "Beaubelle"!

 

[effluo]

Do we know how many villagers/vacationers we can have an island yet? Not sure if I missed it or not.

Nope, we don't have a clue yet. I'm assuming at this point we won't know for sure until the game releases or is leaked.

They mentioned something about an announcement related to Pocket Camp near the end of the Direct and to keep an eye out for it. What do you guys think this means? Will the two games be somehow linked? Will playing PC offer an advantage?

In the video it just looked like there are gonna be some NH items in PC and vice versa, maybe through DLC or something. I do wonder if they'll do anything else, though
