Welcome fellow Dubai-player.
I wish I had known it was coming out here this soon. I already preordered my digital copy.

PS - Did you get it at Geekay games?

No, the Middle East is the Western side of the Asian continent. I'd suggest Asia.

Source please

The search function isn't working, and is poorly optimized. With thousands of posts per day, uhg, I'll never find it now.

HOWEVER, I found the external source which spawned the discussion here: https://animalcrossingworld.com/202...ng-new-horizons-opening-day-tutorial-details/

IGN: With our homes settled, Tom Nook requested I gather sticks for a fire, and some peaches, my island’s randomly chosen native fruit. The actual collection process is the same as it’s always been and I wasn’t given access to tools, so my actions during the first day were limited. But eventually, the day came to a close and when my character awoke New Horizons had synced to real-time (it runs on its own time for the first tutorial day) and saddled me with a massive 49,800 bell debt.

GamesRadar: Of course, this is only the beginning, and once I place all three tents in suitable spots, I’m tasked with gathering supplies for an island warming party. Later, you wake up, and the clock resets to the actual time, signalling the start of the game proper.

So the tutorial time was made known 11 days ago.

Nope, if you’re from Dubai, you can get it from Al Khawaneej.

Is the name DivineIsle good?
I would really prefer Divine Isle (with space) but the limit is 10 not 11.

If you don't like not having the space, maybe you could use something like Divinity?

Ooooooooooh!
I like Divinity, do you have more suggestions?

 

[Magicman]

Would be cool to hear some new hourly songs

 

[Hanami]

the box art looks so cute. you're so lucky, enjoy the game!!

 

[Xara]

enjoy the game!!

 

[cheezu]

Sorry but where in Al Khawaneej?
Is it a specific gaming store?

Also, what happens if I already have a copy of the game on digital preorder?
Would that be like two separate islands or would they merge into one island on release date?

It's 1 island per Switch, so even after getting digital, you'd have the same island.

Remember “Save Data Settings”?
Will this is what you get when you choose the option.​

What were your starter villagers, KhalidPrecious?


I'll most likely just wait for the digital copy to come out. I figured I should wait a couple of days though I've got 2 switches but I think running 2 islands from the get-go would become too much of a chore.
