Main Street Layout/Shop Predictions

[Mink777]

What do you expect Main Street to look like in this game? I'm thinking, like HHD, there will be 2 ground levels, possibly looking very similar to it.

I like the idea of unlocking shops as we go on in the game. It gives you something to look forward to, and when you get the shop, you will forget what it feels like to not have it.

I'm going to have a bit of fun and predict the shop unlock requirements for Animal Crossing Switch.

1. Nooking Junction, Timmy and Tommy (Start)
2. Able Sisters, Mabel; Sable; and Labelle (Start)
3. The Museum, Blathers (Start)
4. Post Office, Pelly and Phyllis (Start)
5. Nook's Homes, Tom Nook (Start)
6. Happy Home Academy, Lyle and Lottie (1st House Upgrade)
7. Garden Store, Leif (Same as NL)
8. Kicks, Kicks (Same as NL)
9. Museum Shop, Thalassa (Same as NL)
10. Museum Observatory, Celeste (7 days after the Museum Shop Opened)
11. Cafe, Brewster (7 days after the Museum Observatory Opened)
12. Shampoodle, Harriet (Same as NL)
13. Music Studio, K.K. Slider and Serena (Same as Club LOL in NL)
14. Theater, Dr. Shrunk and Leila (7 days after the Music Studio Opened)
15. Crazy Redd's, Redd (Start, open on random days)
16. Katrina's Shop, Katrina (Unlocket after completing 10 Museum Observatory Quests)
17. Dream Suite, Luna (Same as NL, except 14 days now instead of 7)
18. T&T Mart, Super T&T, TIY, Nooklingtons's (Same as NL, except no fashion check required)
19. Gracie Grace, Gracie (After unlocking Super T&T and befriending Sable and Labelle, plus 4 fashion checks)
20. Diner, Digby (7 days after Music Studio)
21. Restaurant, New Character (7 days after Music Studio)
22. Hotel, New Character (7 days after Music Studio)
23. Hospital, New Character (7 days after Music Studio)
24. Island Villa (14 days after Theater, Diner, Restaurant, Hotel, and Hospital)
25. Construction Shop, Giovanni (Mayor Approval Rating and 3 house upgrades)

Thalassa is the mother of Blathers and Celeste. K.K. Slider and Serena are now married and do performances together sometimes. Leila has left her family on the island in hopes of becoming an actress/performer (This sets up a whole new set of background stories, like in WW and CF). The characters running the new buildings unlocked after the Music Studio may either be villagers or entirely new special characters. The island villa could either be ran by Tortimer or a villager who was an islander from E+ that has not returned to the series yet (Ex: Masa).

Please feel free to criticize my ideas and suggest more. I know is is kind of messy.

Very interesting ideas you have here. Especially the idea with the Theater with Dr. Shrunk and Leila
sounds really nice. Digby running a Diner is something I never thought of it, as I always imagine him
now working at the town hall along with Isabelle since the Happy Home Showcase will probably not
be a thing anymore as Streetpass doesn't exist on the Switch. K.K. Slider and Serena being a couple
is also something I never thought of, I think they would make a cute couple though? Redd having a
shop again would be awesome, I think it would be better for him to have a own shop rather then
a tent. And with his art, he could open something like a Art shop, which would work perfectly.
Also yes please, bring back the Observatory, that's something that needs to come back or I will
riot, lol.

What I would like to see is a Library as well as a Radio station with it's own radio program.

i wouldn't be too opposed to have at least some shops in the town tbh. a main street or city is cool and all but i think it was really nice in cf how nook's and the able sister shop were just in the town.

 

[LambdaDelta]

I'll be honest, I far prefer the games having the shops and all in the town itself

p sure every game before new leaf was like this, with all before city folk not even having a separate district to begin with

That is true, up until NL, all shops were in town (Ables and nooks more promptly, but stores like Gracie grace were in the city)

 

[Mink777]

On the contrary, I really hope the shops are not spread throughout the town. It seems like a hassle to have all the shops in different parts of the town, and it would take longer to go from shop to shop. I also want AC to have at least some modern vibe to it. Beong in the country all time bores me to death in real life in the game as well.

I hope theres more npc development. Whether they have their own neighborhood off main street or whatever.

 

[Flare]

I kinda hope either the shops are all in the town or that main street is connected to the town and the whole loading screen is scrapped.

Other than that I feel it's pointless to add anything new. Maybe have the Observatory return and have a shop for Redd open up.

 

[Soot Sprite]

I would much rather have a city or shopping district over shops being spread throughout the town. I'm pretty picky about my town layout, I don't want to have to reset a million times to make sure everything is how I want it.

I love having the ?original? shops in town (Able Sisters and the Nook shop) maybe they could be in one place which you could choose where to place? Then the other stores could be in the city/Main Street area, there could even be both with more local shops like Leif?s and Kicks on Main Street but things like Club LOL/Gracie?s in the city? It would keep the small town village feel that I feel is a huge part of AC, yet still give the option to go to a bigger city area. It would also make the world feel bigger and more open in my opinion.
