How did you feel during the announcement?

i actually cried when they first showed isabelle because i was so excited~! then they started talking about smash and i literally went from 100 to 0, a complete straight face & no tears anymore.

then i saw tom nook & i knew it was finally the game! i even get a little misty eyed when i rewatch it because i'm just so excited.
 
When I saw Isabelle I was like OMG???!!! I was so excited until it said "they want me in smash??" I mean it's cool and all to see Isabelle in smash but I'm sure we've all been waiting for such a long time for a new animal crossing game.. the smash thing finishes and at this point I'm pretty annoyed and sad but then I see tom nook and my first reaction was that Tom nook was gonna be in smash too ... then after that part finishes it says "animal crossing 2019' I was so happy I began crying it was so good we finally got what we wanted !!
 
i went through so many emotions in about a minute, lmao. i was so happy to see isabelle i could’ve cried, and then when i realized it was about smash i almost flipped a table. and THEN when nook came up i knew what it had to mean. it’s been two days now and i’m still just so happy when i think about it! we still have a lot of time to wait but yeah, it made me so happy to know it’s finally happening.
 
I felt like we'd get it since Nintendos offical tumblr posted something asking about if we wanted AC for the switch. I was at work during the direct so watched a stream on youtube. I was pretty ticked over smash since I don't really play it, then Tom Nook showed up. I was worried it was another HHD (don't get me wrong I LOVE HHD just new main game tho) so when it was revealed I tried not to shout. Nintendo trolled us hard lol
 
I would say I was pleasantly pleased. I don't think I was surprised because I feel like we all kinda knew it was going to come at some point, it was just a matter of when. The way they announced it, though, was very interesting.
 
At the time of the direct, I was in my car (backseat, not driving) travelling home from school. I couldn't watch the direct live since I was on mobile and didn't have enough data, but I was following the TBT Discord while it was happening. At the exact moment that everyone started screaming in discord that AC Switch had been announced, we got in a car accident.

Everyone in the car was perfectly fine but that's always how I will remember AC Switch being announced :p
 
I actually recorded my reactions. I did that every Direct lol

I saw Isabelle pop up but I held my breath because I didn?t want to get excited early. I assumed that all I could hope for was maybe City Folk and other old games being available for Nintendo Online (I still want this!), but I calmed down and watched.

So at the end of the first trailer my exact words were ?Seriously? All of this for SMASH? SERIOUSLY? I?M GOING TO CRY?

But then Tom Nook appeared and I thought maybe we?d get a rendition of Happy Home designer - something to tide us over. Anyways, by the end of that trailer I started crying from happiness.

I called my boyfriend (because I was sick with a cold and on the couch lol) and screamed that the game got announced. Then I posted it all over Facebook, texted my friends, etc. The rest of the night I was tagged in AC stuff with friends I rarely talk to saying ?Had to make sure you saw this?.

It was so heartwarming on all levels. Nintendo, the human race, etc.
 
Earlier in the day before the Direct aired, a freind of mine said "Hey what if Isabelle gets a letter and it says shes in Smash instead of a new Animal Crossing" and I said I would scream at the top of my lungs with the most firey primal rage this realm has ever seen.

As soon as Isabelle appeared on screen my first words were "Oh Christ don't do this to me", and then Smash happened, and I posted in my group chat, quote "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH". And then Tom Nook appeared and I though "TOM FOR CHRIST'S SAKE NOT YOU TOO.", and then that frame with the logo and 2019 appeared and I got ****ing chills man.

Truly a vegetable soup of emotions.
 
At first I was screaming excited, then slowly realized it was probably just Isabelle in smash, but I was still excited because my theory was they would announce both at once. My hopes were right with tom nook and I screamed of joy.

It's funny though because I had been hoping for Animal Crossing the whole direct and then it was finally announced when I had given up hope and was depressed lol.
 
I didn’t expect AC to be mentioned at all so I didn’t even watch the direct. Woke up in the middle of the night and checked my phone, I had a notification that a YouTuber uploaded a video called ‘AC Switch Confirmed’ or something. I thought it was clickbait, but when I realised it was real I couldn’t believe it! I wanted to scream but I couldn’t because I’d wake everyone up haha. I was too excited to go back to sleep!
 
I screamed the moment Isabelle showed up. I was screaming after the reveal. So much hype!

For some reason, after Isabelle was announced for Smash I was expecting that all there to be, but the minute they cut to Nook, I knew it was coming.
 
I watched the direct live with my sister via discord voice chat and screenshare (I don't live at home anymore).
The direct started at midnight for us, so I was kind of tired and on top of it I had one hell of a cold that came with a fever, headaches and everything annoying. But we both looked forward to watching it nonetheless, it's always fun to discuss the newly announced games and stuff. My sister had hoped for Skull Kid to be announced as a fighter for Smash, and like usual I secretly or not-so-secretly hoped for the long awaited AC Switch announcement. But to be honest? This time I really didn't anticipate it at all. I don't know why, but I had just accepted that AC Switch probably wasn't going to be mentioned once again, so I wasn't too surprised when it wasn't in the Switch headline section of the direct.

And then came the surprising and exciting last five minutes.

I went all quiet when Isabelle appeared on screen, while my sister just went "Bro. Bro, do you see what is happening?!", all excited for me since she knew how much I wanted AC Switch to be a real thing.
I didn't want to get my hopes up just yet though only to be disappointed with a pocket camp update or something else so I kept quiet. When Pete appeared, both me and my sister just started going "Oh no, oh no, it's a letter, please, no..."
While watching the Smash announcement I thought "Really? You're gonna bait me and then break my heart in such cruel manner, Nintendo?"
But as soon as the screen faded to black and Tom Nook appeared, I pretty much knew they had just played us like fools. :D
And when he said that he has to work hard to make sure everyone has a nice place to come home to once they're ready that confirmed it right then and there.

Overall I really enjoyed the way they announced it. While I would have been even happier if they had showed us an actual trailer or even just a glimpse of what the new game will look like (mostly so I can stop fantasizing and setting my expectations too high!) I liked the drama of it all. XD

I had it spoiled for me! I was at work when the direct came out, and I usually watch them with my boyfriend. I checked the time on my phone while at work and I had like 7 messages from different people on Facebook that all were shouting about Animal Crossing. I almost cried at work haha. The next 30 mins before I left work were so hard, I couldn't think about anything else.

I got home (with a horrible headache) and had to try my best to act surprised when I watched the direct with my boyfriend. I tried my best to be excited but the headache prevented it lol. My bf knew Animal Crossing was the only thing I've been wanting for years now, so I when I didn't put on a totally honest show I think he knew something was up and I knew lol

The next morning, though, when I saw it was still real I cried again.
 
I cried, I smiled, I got so giddy watching the comments from people in groups I belong to and on the Direct chat just explode with happiness. I needed to run and wiggle my arms but tried not to and then I crashed from all of the excitement, haha. But that direct was so up and down. Nintendo really knew how to mess with us and it was GREAT! Such an amazing experience.

Currently obsessed with watching grown men react to it:
