Live at PAX East!

[Luca]

I?m currently wait in line to play the ACNH demo, and they have a presentation of some sample gameplay going!

NEW INFO:

Fishing bait use - you sprinkle it in the water, and it instantly summons a fish you can try to catch.
Vaulting poles CANNOT break, so you won?t get stranded on one side of a river and be forced to call Resetti.

(Also, my friend won a free Tom Nook switch skin )

I will keep you updated!

Might be a good idea to post all of your findings on this thread: https://www.belltreeforums.com/showthread.php?477241-Everything-learned-from-PAX-East!

They've been documenting all finds into a single thread.

 

[Snowesque]

Very cool! Sounds like it could be useful for fish with specific fishing conditions like the coelacanth if that is still a thing, other rare fish in general, or maybe something new we do not know about. Glad your friend got a cool gift.

 

[Feraligator]

Nice, you only get a 20 min slot right? Hope you do everything you want in that time!!

 

[SafariSuz]

|sf>If you get a chance to fish, could you please pay attention to whether the controller still uses the rumble feature to simulate the fish 'nibbling' and 'biting?" I'm curious whether that was continued and no one has mentioned it AFAIK.

I may do that once I?m done and can collect all the info together!


I?m trying to upload the video I took of the gameplay to youtube but my connection sucks

 

[DJStarstryker]

Even if you couldn't get brand new info, I hope you had fun! That whole booth looks super adorable.

 

[moo-kun]

Ooo I'm excited for you have fun!!! ♡♡♡

DEMO COMPLETE!

Art will NOT be in the museum
No word on name character limits.
There are trees on the third level of land!
Bottled messages just bring DIY recipes, you can’t send out your own.
I didn’t get to see it, but my guide told me there is a UFO that will appear and do... something???
And most importantly...

There will be NO microtransactions in the game!

I knew people were panicking over nothing.

Like they said no art at all? So it doesn't upgrade?
And no news on how many villagers?

 

[Mokuren]

What no art! That's so sad did your guide tell you that? Aww man. But I hope people will now stop freaking out because or microtransactions xD

 

[Iced_Holly]

Lack of art is pretty disappointing. Glad to hear that there won't be any microtransactions - not that I believed there would be but still. Any word on a villager limit though?

Might be legal trouble these days. Copyright and all that fun stuff, considering the art doesn't directly belong to Nintendo.

Awesome, thank you for asking the guide those things! It's too bad about the art, but we don't know if that means art is just unavailable. It could be done a different way. Who knows.

I don't think it would be for legal reasons. At least here in the US, I am pretty sure all of those pieces of art are considered public domain now. Art like that is considered public domain once the original artist has died and it has been 70 years since that date.

I didn’t get to ask about the villager limit—I didn’t want to spend the whole time asking questions when there was another person trying to play the demo with us ��

The guide did say that there was no art in the museum, yeah. He may not have known for sure, but it didn’t look like there was any space for another wing in the building.

 

[KeatAlex]

No art?
That was one of my fav parts of the museum. Either way so happy no microtransactions will happen!

Not as in ever? As in, you can?t expand to another wing?
We?ll find that out eventually, wish they weren?t so mum on this
Awesome, this was kinda confirmed in that Japanese ad with the girl with the yellow hair (not the recent one with yuk)
Just DIY recipes? I guess that means you can?t buy bottles from Nook....
Interesting, it can?t be Gulliver as he?s still a sailor and we see him on the beach, so maybe those aliens have more of a role this time instead of a 3:33am random occurrence...

I knew there would be no micro-transactions, as the game is being sold over in countries that have strict laws on games with these gambling type RNG (like PC and FE:H for example)

Thanks so much for updating us

NL’s Museum looked like this too before the second floor opened up a gift shop, wonder if it’ll be like this?

 

[tajikey]

Thank you for sharing what you found out. Still hanging on to hope diving for creatures will still be a thing.

Ah, knew I was forgetting something—the guide said that as far as he knows, there’s no diving suit or swimming

Bugs on the left ground floor, fish on the right ground floor, fossils center 2nd floor. It really looked like they left no room for an expansion.
