Features You Want / Feature Ideas General Discussion

Given that you can drop furniture outside, I'd say PWPs won't return unless bridges are separate items or something

After watching this, I want there to be an option to have your villagers be rude to you. New Leaf really toned down the interactions, even when you make them mad.

I guess the main concern would be upsetting young kids, so there could be a disclaimer if you turn rudeness on like: "WARNING! This will allow villagers to say things that may be hurtful. Remember, sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Continue?"

I think an electric chair would be good. I think there is one in new leaf but I can't remember for sure
It would have to be powered by duracel obviously

Haha, that was hilarious?definitely worth watching. I knew they were meaner, but some of those...damn! lol

I?d personally enjoy the return of some harsher treatment, but only if it?s limited to certain personalities (maybe Cranky, Snooty, Smug?). I wouldn?t want all of my villagers to verbally abuse me?it wouldn?t offend me, just make me like them less.

I just think that only certain types of villagers should be occasionally mean to you, like Cranky or Snooty villagers. I understand why they toned this down though; imagine having a bad day at school with the only thing keeping you going is escaping to your Animal Crossing town afterward. But when you get home, some snooty bear tells you that you have no friends. Not so fun now, is it?

eh... i don't think many people would have a hard time with villagers being rude. it's one of the most popular requests in the new features! if you get your feelings truly hurt by a video game character.. idk what to tell you man lol. i get that people are attached to their towns and soon, islands, but i really doubt that a bunch of people are so fragile that they would get hurt by a snooty bear telling them they have no friends.

Well, I was thinking more like younger kids who are more impressionable. I just remember getting agitated with the animals on the Gamecube game when I was younger. It always seemed like they were against me...

I woke up this morning, turned on my GameCube Animal Crossing game, and find Gonzo in a bad mood. "Shut up! You lookin' for a fight? No? Then back off, buddy." Butch and Gonzo were hanging out in the same acre and Butch was also in a bad mood. He told me, "Shut up. And shut up with the shuttin' up! Just stop talking, Jeff!"

Geez. The new games will never have this much character or attitude.

You really have to earn their respect in that game. They do not like you by default. I'm pretty sure I've got all the crankies at maximum friendship level, though, and they still berate me routinely. I could see this being disturbing to kids.

I just hope in the new game they have more to talk about than food. It could just be a matter of selective memory, but so many of the newer games seem to have a ton of conversation about food.

Funny how people are worried that rude villagers may upsetting young kids, the kids back then also had
no problem with the rudeness of the villagers. And if I looking around through the fandom, I see lots of
people who would love to have the rude villagers back (me included btw), yes even kids who found out
about them. If Nintendo is really worried by making maybe kids upset, then I guess having such a option
to "turn on" the rudeness of the villagers would be also a neat thing if they can't be rude right from the
beginning without any limit.

Considering the Sanrio characters/furniture in New Leaf, I'd like to see some characters based on Aggretsuko.

Considering the Sanrio characters/furniture in New Leaf, I'd like to see some characters based on Aggretsuko.

As much as I'd love to see that happen, I just don't feel like Aggretsuko is as "family friendly" as the other Sanrio characters, so it isn't likely.

But to shift gears for a bit, something I would really like to see, that I think may have been mentioned before, is a tool pouch. Of course, judging from the gameplay we've seen you wouldn't have it right away, but perhaps you could make/earn one later. In the other games, I get so tired of all of my tools taking up inventory slots.

I hope they'll make use the amiibo cards and amiibo villagers. I would hate see Inkwell to be New Leaf only villager.

I think it would be cool if they held real time events like Splatfests from Splatoon. I know AC is a laid back game, but it would be fun to compete with people from around the world in bug and fish competitions.

I really-really want something with motion controls. Anything. xD

Didn't City Folk have motion controls? It's been awhile since I played it. I think it would be nice to have that option return. HD rumble could be use for fishing as well.

I actually haven't played City Folk yet! New Leaf was my first Animal Crossing. ^_^
But anything with motion controls is a joy for me. I like this feature a lot: Mario Kart 8 has it, Zelda and it's very fun!

 

[Ably.Saucey]

Have we gotten any word on Island name? I hope we get at least 12 characters per name.

Make messages from friends semi-permanent, so if you miss them when they first appear there's a place you can check them later.

Also some kind of central menu for online statuses and easily inviting + chatting with friends.

New Leaf was a great step in the right direction here, just want them to expand on it. There's nothing quite like playing AC and seeing a friend come online and chatting with them in-game.

 

[Rusolando-Kun]

Actually, I have never played New Leaf online so I don't know anything about the way it works... but I'd be great to have some online hub for people. Like in Minecraft where you choose the server, then you are in a hub with lots of players before everyone chooses what they want to do. Though, I'd like there to be more things to do than just chat. Maybe have a little place for fishing (and make hub-only fish), little cafe where you could sit with online people and chat. That would be like being in a city.

I'm also hoping they'll have a Season Pass or something. It'd be really great if they could expand NH with DLC, not too many but a few big addons would be amazing! NH is going to be the only big AC game on Switch, I'm pretty sure of it so being able to get more features and content via DLC would be great!! <3

While I was playing New Leaf this week, I was thinking about how sometimes it's annoying when you're walking around a store and the owners and employees will just follow you and get in your way. Like Timmy and Tommy when you're looking around Nooklings

It made me think; I wonder if they're going to change this in New Horizons. That's when I remembered thinking how adorable Nook and whichever nephew he was with looked when they just smiled at the player when they came in the tent to craft furniture.

I know the tent was small, and there wasn't much to do in it, which probably explains why they don't need to follow you in there, but it got me thinking that maybe the whole following thing won't be a thing anymore.

I guess it is kinda cute, but it is a bit annoying sometimes. I don't think this observation proves anything though, just a thought I had. Not like it would be a major change anyways.

No joke, I want to be able to hug my friends.
That and animal roommates.
