Features You Want / Feature Ideas General Discussion

[Chouchou]

x I hope all those old Amiibo will not be useless at all because I own them all.
x I also would like the items and longer dresses from Pocket Camp will make a return.
x I kinda hope there is a special currency in the game (like the miauw coupons in New Leaf) that you can earn and can use to transfer items and clothing from your Nintendo ID Pocket Camp to the Switch game. But it should be further in the game (like, unlocked after a month or so) so that the beginning of the game would not be much more easy for dedicated Pocket Camp players and with a maximum of 1 item a day or a couple a week.
x A trading system like the market place should absolutely make a return in the Switch game so that it's easier to trade with friends and other players. Also an ABD from the beginning for big transactions.
x No motion controls, they can implement them but it should not be mandatory..

because of Mario Kart 8 and the Animal Crossing track, i want them to add seasonal music. summer would be the regular versions of all the 24 hours, and then the other seasons would have different styles to suit that specific season

Being able to locate pwp?s (if there included in the new game) more precisely

I just saw automatic stacking working at Treehouse! That was a feature I really wanted!

If the square where Nook has his little tent, and there's a noticeboard, is going to become the town square, I think it'd be pretty cool to plant your tree and then see it grow from a sapling to the big old town square tree!

I'm hoping we can upgrade that plaza because it's kinda an eyesore as it is now. Just a big brown square in the middle of town. Eww.

I’m sure that will be in the game. In the trailer they were catching bugs and fishing. It had to be in the game . It was also early gameplay they still have nine months. So I’m sure it will return.

I'm sure you can. I feel like you probably upgrade Nook's store to fill the whole thing. Or maybe you fill it up with other stores

- Being able to create multiple towns would also be convenient, so one wouldn't have to buy multiple copies of the game.

You can create different users on Switch! They each have their own save data. (Someone probably said this and I didn't read the entire thread to see it.)


As for what features I want,

Customizing your town looks really good from the trailers. Checked a lot of (obvious) longtime wishes off for me like furniture outside, pathways, a few more types of plants (more please), possibly placing your villagers since your own tent can be moved freely and they start out in a tent, probably choosing the location for all the facilities, placing things on the beach...

I hope that most old features stay, like the collection aspect in fishes/bugs/fossils.

Villagers.
Give them as much dialogue as possible.
More depth would be neat too. It can come in many ways, such as...
- relationship that builds up
- more unique personalities
- "smarter" (for example, not repeating lines you just said in the last interaction)
- more interaction
But well, I also like the charm of how simple they are right now. "Only" more dialogue would be completely fine with me.

Oh, I never really wished for this on my own, but I for one think the optional motion controls would be nice. Emphasis on optional.

Couple things I want that weren’t in the trailers:

• We have at least 20 inventory spots and possibly more depending on what backpacks do, whether they have an actual use or are purely stylistic. I am, however, hoping for more storage spots since years of gameplay allows stuff to get cluttered.
• As is popular sentiment, I want villager interactions to have depth. I’m warming on the in-depth creative aspect, but I’m worried it’ll take away from the villagers. Shallow villagers will almost always lead to a boring town, no matter how pretty.
• From the two songs I’ve heard so far (trailer theme and 10AM), it appears they’re going in a blend of older (the trailer theme reminded me of the Wild World theme) and newer. I hope this continues.

Pretty much 100% not gonna happen, but I'd love for the island to have shapes other than square. It was fine when we had the walls enclosing the town in previous games, but having a perfect square surrounded by ocean feels odd to me.

• Placeable visitor camping tents so you can create a ”campgrounds” themed area.
• A resort-style area to the north of our town which holds shops and customizable buildings like in HHD.
• Vegetables.
• More than 10 villagers per town. At least allow us 15. That's all I ask.
• Full amiibo functionality.
• While it has been confirmed that there is no connectivity between Pocket Camp and New Horizons, maybe we can have some kind of connection between New Leaf and New Horizons.
• Dump Porter and bring Champ back.
• A Villager Dex or journal of sorts where you can keep track of any and all villagers you meet, both human and animals.

Ooh, I like this idea! And maybe it could tie in with the amiibo functionality. I want to use my cards!

I think it could be an interesting idea to allow us to send villagers from NL to NH. In pokemon, it has been such a big deal to a lot of people to send their pokemon to each game. Some people still have their pokemon from the first game they played. I think for those who want it, it could be an awesome feature to play NH with one of your villagers from NL that you have had so many experiences with. Perhaps they could say things in game like the name of their old town. I highly doubt this feature will happen but I wouldn't mind it.

 

[WeiMoote]

Maybe you can use stones to craft pieces for a pathway? (Even though you can already make one with shovels.)

I'm talking about a stone/wooden/brick/gem pathway, so our animals don't have to get their feet too dirty.

 

[Mink777]

I will not buy the game if the following is not included-

1. Shopping district
2. New villager species
3. More than ten villagers per town/island
4. Dr. Shrunk, Gracie, and Katrina.
5. Every villager from New Leaf brought back (including Welcome Amiibo, but not the amiibo figure ones)
6. Some new shops
7. More K.K. Slider songs
8. Enhanced village activities
9. New villagers from existing species
10. The majority of the GameCube villagers brought back

I'll add more if I think of more.

 

[WeiMoote]

They should also bring the balls back. With 8 player multiplayer, we can play a friendly game of soccer. Three on three, with two goalies! ^_^

Things I Hope They Put In AC:NH

I was thinking last night while playing ACNL about things I wish they brought into they new game so here is a list, and post your own:

-Flip Phones: I wouldn't prefer phones like in Camp, but cute little Nokia phones would be cute! It would be a alternative to the train station, and TEXT OTHER PEOPLE CHARACTERS LONGER THAN 70. It could come with cases too! (*me internalizing a cute hello kitty phone case*)

-Freckles, Moles, Etc.: Everyone's skin is special, so i hope they have vitiligo, freckles, heterochromia, and mole skin options. It's not a lot of coding either, and can be changed in a hair salon or something.

-More species: I am so tired of the same old dogs, cats, and birds. I want a bulldog villager, or a moth villager (I get it, its a bug among other animals but its literally a fictional world anyway lmao) or maybe like ferrets and rats! There are so many different opportunities

- More than one town: it says it itself. I know a girl who has 25 versions of ACNL. Nintendo please.

-Relationships/Two characters living in one house: I know its a child friendly game, but I think roomating would be a nice touch.

-Driving: We had compact cars and scooter furniture, so why can't we drive??? I want a skateboard

-Option to be a...villager?- For all of us 'furries' out there (past or present) I kinda wish we could be villagers if we wanted

-More holidays and festivals: I kind of want a Sakura/Blossom festival and more festivals!

-Swimsuits: once again i know its a children's game, but I kinda like the idea of one piece bikinis and swim shorts.

-MORE SPOTS TO SAVE OUTFITS AND PATHS: PERIOD.

-Custom Villagers: i'll let the pictures speak:


(all from tumblr's hastag #custom villager)

THE OPPORTUNITIES! (i love making my own acnl villagers with photoshop, but I want that easily in the game.)

That's all really, please add more things you want to the thread while the game is still in WIP​

A Villager Dex or journal of sorts where you can keep track of any and all villagers you meet, both human and animals.

This is a great idea. In New Leaf I used to save the moving letters of all my villagers who left. But this could be really useful. Tell us days if/when they moved in and out.
