This is not something big, but it's been on my mind for years now, that I want improvement of text message system in game. Y'know, it doesn't show the message from visitor when you're just about to move into house/main street/shops/etc. "Oh sorry, I missed" thing. It's quite annoying at times. Hoping this part of the system get improved.

That's a good one, I hope it gets fixed as well

It would be super nice if they had like a chat log or something at the bottom of the screen so you can carry on conversations with visitors without missing anything. I know that's more of a PC gaming thing, but I feel like it could easily be implemented.

I don't think it really fits the style of Animal Crossing but I do think it would be a great thing to have as a toggleable feature

 

[Fang's_Fangirl]

I would love to see any news at all about it (including a release date) but in game, I would love to see a system where you can date your villagers, or where over time if enough time is spent with a certain villager, they will tell you that they love you.
Also, a more expanded main street, the option of curtains and what not inside your house, the ability to have more RVs parked at the campsite. Even being able to make your favorite villagers your "best friends" where you can have more than one villager over at the same time. These villagers would remember things like your favorite color, favorite food, and your biggest aspirations.

Well, the best friend function has a chat log, granted it goes away when you quit, but it would be nice to have it when you have people over and you miss their message when you go into a building or looking through your inventory.

That would promote beastality unless they're planning on making our main characters be animals this time around.

A random one I just thought about, the ability to angle furniture would be amazing, like instead of just making it so we only have 90 degree angle changes we can actually slightly tilt furniture kind of like in the sims or something like that, or even allowing specific placement of things on tables, like allowing you to put stuff in the middle of a table instead of just the left or right sides, same thing with chairs, cause having my desk chairs not be centered bothers me just a little bit;;

HHD did this with placing of objects, but I agree on being able to angle furniture like in the sims

I definitely agree with improving the way you develop your relationships with the villagers. I feel like there has to be a bigger incentive to really push towards making someone your best friend, and I think implementing a little "crush" mechanic in the game would do that. I mean, I see a lot of people saying it's basically beastiality or encourage other devious things, but that's not an issue with the game, it's an issue with the matured minds of us adults who take a innocent, animated animal game too seriously.
I think they should, at the very least, include a function where you can send/receive love letters or confessions once you reach the peak of a friendship and then maybe it'll reward you with a special gift or something. Nothing too involved at least.


But also on another note...imagine the town gathering for a wedding.
All I'm saying is that it'd be pretty adorable.

 

[SensaiGallade]

I want all the damn items released in Pocket Camp to make their way into the game. There's so many exclusive and fun pieces of furniture that would make the game's experience much better

I also want better town customisation options, like say somehow implement the use of Terrains in PC to the game, i.e. During October you can decorate the town in a similar fashion to the Spooky Terrain in ACPC.

Omg yes. I recently got my 3DS repaired so I could continue playing New Leaf, and after spending so many hours on HHD and PC, it was driving me crazy how I couldn't center any furniture in NL! As someone with OCD it truly bothers me.

I have no idea why this isn't already in the game, you'd think this would be the next step in a game all about making friends with animals

OMG I want to marry Carmen! Although I feel like if animal weddings were implemented gay animal weddings would probably not, (RIP Tomodachi Life)

As you continue the game you will get the tool from HHD to center furniture

 

[moonbyu]

maybe like headphones for your mayor/villager so they can listen to any k.k. song or hourly song you want?

 

[Ossiran]

How about a tool pouch so the tool don't take up so much inventory space? You could limit it to maybe 3 or 4 slots so the player can't carry everything, all the time, but it'd help ease up some inventory space. You could also limit the quick select to the tool pouch itself so that if players carry a lot of items, they'll still have to open the screen.

You don’t get to center objects in NL, only HHD and pc, I’m aware you unlock the overview grid and move furniture already in the room (I actually have no idea what it is called...) I’d like if this feature was added back that you could pull out items in your inventory or closet so if you forgot something, you didn’t have to keep exiting out and grabbing it from your inventory or closet and setting it out. (Pc already does this...and maybe HHD did it... but I can’t recall)

KING SAKURA'S PLAN FOR MAKING AC SWITCH MO BETTER

where to start.. where to start....

Storage! we need way more storage than what was available in New Leaf... i'm talking at least double the storage space.

Club Tortimer-- they need to fix it so that one jerk can't end everybody's visit with a flick of the wi-fi button. just keep the session open when somebody drops out. also, why not have more than two regions to choose from, they should subdivide and make it three or four.

voice chat-- is it doable on the Switch? maybe not. but i think it would be a great feature to add, personally, if the hardware will support it.

of course, making it so that villagers can't move out unless you okay it has been a long-desired feature (not sure to what degree the welcome amiibo update modified this)

new villager species-- pirate dolphin villagers, are long long overdue.

new fruit-- watermelon! and let our characters spit the seeds like using the throwing beans heh.

new flower-- daffodils!

and add a few more holidays from other regions (such as, Sombrero Day for Cinco de Mayo perhaps?)

how bout adding a few more characters' length onto the possible town names we can create....

and adding a little more interactivity to the furniture/items would be cool too

I'm putting this under a spoiler as its a bit big

I agree with storage, PC seems to have a ton of it, even more then NL (nl has 2,160 storage for all characters, 560 for each one) so maybe quadruple the space (PC, I believe has 2000 for your character something like that....can't recall but an update says for furniture/clothing says it was increased from 1500 to 2k. still a lot more then NL with your main character) a bit more pocket space would be nice as well.

Club tortimer if it comes back I hope that this is fixed.

Well, with the switch app it’s possible... but they need to allow cross-integration with discord, which ain't happening... but one can hope.

They still move out, but give a ten day notice before they leave, if a villager moves out, if you have their card, you can invite them back (granted, it won’t be the same villager as it has its memories wiped, tested this out with Tammy...definitely is the case) so we need like a vacation mode like someone suggested, so when we're taking a break -or possibly lose the cart-, you can put it so no one moves while this is active

Well, hamsters and deer are new to ACNL so, saying it's long overdue is odd.

I love more fruit, grapes are in PC, and would love seeing perfect versions of them in the ACS game as nl doesnt have a perfect varient of the lemon or lychee (the lemon bothers me in PC as the normal variant is green and perfect is yellow...yeah lemons are green when unripe, but its green is more akin to it being a lime, and I’m not the only one that notices this, and i think they messed up the colors on the lychee as well. basically, the pefect ver. of it is red and the non perfect ver. is brownish yellow? i noticed it a while back when they made this update...

And NL I believe has grapes...but they're more decorative as they are part of the Wisteria Trellis PWP...I could be wrong)

I'd love new flower variants (especially from PC, there’s soo many with these garden events)

I totally agree with added more holidays, kind of bothers me when you have to go to another town to do it....would rather it be in my town so I can learn about the holiday.

Well, that's more to the Japanese, since they can name a town in 8 or less...but yeah we need more space for international, like 16 spots for town names.

I’m sure they'll do this, again PC has more pwp with interaction along with some of the furniture...it’s so much really...

Also, I want to be able to place trees and bushes to the edge, please.
The GC version did this with the trees...why remove it? (I noticed HHD did this, with being able to place trees and bushes so close to the edge of a river so I know it’s possible, just make sure we're not allowed to place an apple in the sand, or a coconut palm in the town, unless we have biomes. that would be weird)

Right? I would probably marry Bob or Punchy lol. But you really don't think they'd allow same-sex weddings? I mean if you really think about it, do the animals even have genders? Bob's original shirt is pink with flowers on it xD
But realistically weddings would never be a thing so we don't have to worry about it lol. However, I still think they should add a love confessions mechanic!
