I wanted to pop into this thread to share my ACNH hype tweets over the past several months because I'm surprised that I've come up with so much.
Features:
�� Sable took classes and can now customize clothes
�� Mannequin holds umbrella
�� CATCH DOLPHINS
�� hug your friends
�� naughty clothes complaint puts offending villager in a barrel
�� individual villagers have personal character-specific dialogue depending on more than just their villager type that unlocks with high friendship
�� the villagers occasionally text you cute photos of themselves after you reach high friendship and they give you their framed photo
�� you know Amazon AR view? I want that, where you can preview items from a catalogue inside whatever structure you're putting them in. Maybe even from your Nook phone :0
�� I'm hoping the camping nature of New Horizons will lend to a better system of cycling through lots of villagers relatively quickly so you perhaps have the chance to meet them all over the course of a few years & invite your favorites to come live on the island after they've been there to camp. Without using cycling in New Leaf, I never got to meet them all.
�� So we know all the visual features you can choose for yourself are gender neutral this time around but I want to be able to pick what animalese voice you hear when typing. I wanted to play as a boy but I like the typing voice you hear as a girl :,(
Events:
�� Naturally occurring fairy rings that appear for one day and trigger a tiny special event when you step inside them at night, like meeting an NPC who grants you a special item sorta like meeting Serena in City Folk. Perhaps a smaller event can trigger if you gather mushrooms and create an artificial fairy ring, like whatever npc you meet through this method coming to admonish you for trying to trick them, maybe even cursing you with bad luck for a day
�� so u know the tool durability coming in New Horizons... I don't know how it'll work, but I have this headcanon that your pole vault breaks in the middle of using it and you black out after falling in the river (sorta like getting attacked by a scorpion/tarantula in New leaf), then you wake up on the river bank to meet a new river shark npc who saved you from drowning and proclaims themselves the island lifeguard. They've been watching you use the pole vault for weeks now and they think your form is top notch in terms of safety and sport, so they give you the silver pole vault not just as a reward but to keep you safe from cheap equipment failure
