So we're less than two months away from E3, where there will probably be a word or two said about AC Switch, which will supposedly be the greatest installment of AC ever, right? There are so many new ideas that everyone comes up with that are SO fun to think about and I'm totally looking forward to playing the game as much as anyone else is...BUT, here's a little issue that's been developing:
I've been seeing complaints EVERYWHERE that people don't want a lot of new features added to the world of AC because they believe it "won't be AC" anymore. I can understand it of course, but really?! I see EVERY new AC idea shot down because it's too different from the original game, it's ridiculous. If you want an AC game that's like the original, PLAY THE ORIGINAL. I mean, I would be upset too if Nintendo decided to put swords, guns, and monsters into an AC game (which would never happen obviously) but I see people rejecting even the idea of adding seemingly normal progressions like new fruit or modern buildings!
I think a lot of people who do this are older players like myself who've been playing AC since it was on the N64 or Gamecube when we were kids, so we tend to fear too much change. But for a long time I've been seeing these new AC players (who may have started only on New Leaf) share some of their ideas for AC Switch that have never been in an AC game before and ultimately get bombarded with negativity because they're ideas are "not AC". I personally like thinking of new ideas and how they can be incorporated in such a way that would fit into the AC world, and I wish others would take the time to think without outright rejecting someone's idea solely because it's foreign to any other AC game.
In the end, it all comes down to this: How is Nintendo suppose to create a brand new mainline game with only a few small improvements like graphics, or addition of features from OLDER games??? Yeah it'd be nice, but if that was the case then why not even give a subtitle, let alone any pictures or footage if it's just going to be "New Leaf 2"?? All I'm saying is that Nintendo wants to surprise us with something totally refreshing and new, something that NEW players will be interested in and at the same time entice older players to continue playing. Nintendo always surprises us with things we haven't even thought of, so maybe we're all wrong, but in the end there will be new features no doubt and because Nintendo cherishes this game as one of their greatest franchises, they're not going to destroy the integrity of the original AC game. They're going to improve it, and make it even greater so it will last for years to come. Just like all of the previous installments have.
Feel free to share your opinion and maybe some of your own unique ideas, I'd like to read them~
