Deal with it ---> We do not need new villagers in New Horizons

[Emily]

I'd still love to see new villagers, and I'm sure Nintendo are aware that the core fanbase would love new villagers again, looking back at the excitement of villagers introduced in New Leaf such as Julian, Marshal and Marina, Nintendo are going to want to make us at least as happy as we were back then with some of the new villagers, especially ones that are cute with unique designs.

If a few villagers were missing from the game, like in the past, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I want a lot of new villagers. My guess is that there will be exactly 100 new villagers to have a reason to release a new Animal crossing Amiibo Cards collectors book

 

[MarcelTheFool]

Wouldn't be such a bad thing if they cut down on villagers for newer ones as long as they cut out the ugly villagers. There's so many uggos.

Yeah but everyones tastes are different. Using that logic I'd want Ed, Tia, and Chelsea gone. I know you mean villagers like Hazel or Tabby but not fair to those of us who like them. If they made it so only the cutesy pastel villagers stayed I'd quit playing, since that's not my aesthetic

I regularly see topics that stem from the desire for new species of villagers to be added to the roster of [?Animal Crossing: New Horizons?].[/B]

Let me spell it one more time.
We do not need new villagers.?

I understand your point.

I personally am not feeling the need for more villagers.

But, I can understand if people would want, say, more cows. (There are only three among the regular ?New Leaf? villager: Naomi, Patty, and Tipper.) One may want more than those three because they are all the same gender. And some of us may want more than three octopuses. (The three such regular villagers in ?New Leaf? are: Marina, Octavian, and Zucker.)

I undertand.

I regularly see topics that stem from the desire for new species of villagers to be added to the roster of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They are invariably based on somewhat unendearing types of animals : sharks, oysters, conchs, bats, octopi, spiders, fish, and so on.

Unendearing to you.

I'd love bats and sharks.

 

[MarcelTheFool]

Unendearing to you.

I'd love bats and sharks.

Saaame! I saw some super cute shark villager fan art on tumblr. Just because it doesn't look cute irl doesn't mean it can't be turned cute! Even then some sharks are super cute irl (and all bats are cuties)

Question : Are you ready to sacrifice 2 of your top 5 villagers for a dozen new ones?

I can’t believe this thread is still going. I’m pretty sure you’ve lost this argument. It does not work like this...at all. This is just beating a dead horse at this point. You’re making it seem like users on here are stupid from being excited about new villagers or species or like theyre somehow going to ruin NH because they want bats and now theyre going to cut beau, fauna, merangue and marshal because of THEM.

People on here are going to be excited and speculate about new villagers for a game that includes new villagers in every release. What are you even mad about? (Am i being trolled?)

Who says that we have to give up villagers to gain some? Like people have said, the switch can handle and process a lot of data.
I do not hope for nor expect new villagers from New Horizons BUT there's still no reason why there wont be new ones.
We'll just have to wait and see, so what if there are? so what if there aren't? discussing it this early is pointless.

I've lost it? I did not even know I wanted to win it!

(Am i being trolled?)

Nope. But I'd vote for "being overexcited".

Simple YES or NO question. Everyone would like to have its cake and eat it too. That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking : are you ready to let go even 1 or 2 of your favorite top 5 villagers to get a dozen new ones ? What's your answer : yes or no ?

 

[Ably.Saucey]

Can't we just be happy that a new game is coming?!
We can barely speculate at this point anyway.

Heck, I'm planning a big yard sale so I can afford the dang thing.

Hey this is completely not a biased comment, but wouldn't a king dedede villager be awesome? They have the model, just re-texture it and bam! kirby reference.

That would be cool, a penguin the size of a bear!

I'd rather them bring back old villagers. I already have too many favorites to choose from tho.

I think a lot of players, including me, want that, not necessarily 'new' villagers, just 'all' the villagers.

 

[Boccages]

Too bad I can't post a poll. Something like :

• Yes. I want new villagers even if that means some older ones are being cut
• Yes. I want new villager, but only if that means all the New Leaf+Welcome amiibo villagers are also coming back
• No. There are enough, I'd rather Nintendo spends development resources elsewhere.

You can post a poll (I'm not sure about this section of the forum though) if you make another thread, the controls are down near the bottom.

I personally, want every villager ever to be available, which adds like 20 villagers, I think.

I could post a poll in a new thread, but I wouldn't want to multiply threads on the same topic for that purpose alone

I think some people are taking issue with the question because it creates a false narrative: the implication being that adding new villagers will inevitably lead to the removal of older ones?which to me seems like a sensationalist exaggeration. Also, as ScaryGhosts pointed out, it sounds like you?re putting the blame for that hypothetical consequence on the people wanting new villagers, and that is neither right nor really fair imo.

If your question is purely meant as a thought experiment?would I sacrifice 2 favorites for 12 unknowns??that?s an interesting enough question. The answer in that case would be NO

If, however, it?s taking a gamble and just risking a potential loss, then YES, I would?the odds of it hitting one or more of my favorites would be incredibly low

True. no one likes post thread clutter.

By my count, including every villager ever would add sixty-nine villagers! ( Great Ceaser's Ghost!)

That's more than enough to satisfy all parties.

Course, me count could be off because the page was acting sketchy.

Course, me count could be off because the page was acting sketchy.

Any count will end up being subjective, but it's pretty close to that. New Leaf+Welcome amiibo had 397 villagers (counting out the 2 downloadable Japanese - Filly and Holden - characters that couldn't move in town anyways). Nookipedia has counted 472 different villagers in the series.

That doesn't mean we would get all of these back. For example, Champ has been excluded/replaced by Flip in New Leaf because Nintendo thought Champ was just a cheap reskin of Porter (he is). Other characters were just ripoffs of other franchises : Cece, Ganon, Epona, Felyne, Medli, Vich? and W. Link and arguably could be axed because they do not really belong in Animal Crossing.

472 villagers (overall in the series)
-397 (Animal Crossing: New Leaf+Welcome amiibo)
-7 ripoff/crossover characters (Cece, Ganon, Epona, Felyne, Medli, Vich? and W. Link)
-1 (Champ)
=
67 characters
Close enough.

But my count could also be wrong.

I hate to be the nerd here, but Octipi cannot survive out of water, so having Octipi villagers just isn't feasible.

does that mean marina zucker and octavian are humans in octi disguise?
