New Year, New Horizons!

[cornimer]

What will you name your new island? Either Rainbow or Paradise (a bit of an obvious name, but I actually wrote a book series about an island called Paradise when I was 10 so I'm thinking of using AC:NH to recreate that)
What will you name your new character? Vanessa if I name the island Rainbow, Mai if it's Paradise
What villager do you want on your new island most? Tad
What native fruit do you want on your new island? Historically I have always had peaches in my towns but I really like the way oranges look in this game so I think it's time to change it up.
Do you think you will time travel in New Horizons? Why or why not, and when if yes? No, I never time travel. It ruins the fun of the game for me.
What are you most excited to do in New Horizons? Pole vaulting, and living on an island in general! It's a really exciting change.
Will you buy a physical copy, a digital copy, or even both? I only ever buy physical copies of games
Will you buy a special edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch system if there is one? What kind of design would you like to see? No, I already have a switch and I don't want to spend more money. But I think a sky blue switch with a little heap of sand and a palm tree in the corner would be really cute!
How long do you think you'll play New Horizons on a daily basis? I'm guessing I will play it half an hour a day for a period of two years, going off my New Leaf activity.

Ok so the map drawing part TERRIFIED me when I read it, but I actually ended up having a lot of fun!

Spoiler: Island with some of my best villager buds

 

[Ossiran]

What will you name your new island? Atlas
What will you name your new character? Ossiran
What villager do you want on your new island most? Chief
What native fruit do you want on your new island? Cherries or Apples
Do you think you will time travel in New Horizons? Why or why not, and when if yes? No. Unless I absolutely need to, I view Time Travel as a form of cheating and prefer to play the game as intended.
What are you most excited to do in New Horizons? Progress the island to the point I can customize it more freely.
Will you buy a physical copy, a digital copy, or even both? Undecided. Likely physical, but I might do both.
Will you buy a special edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch system if there is one? What kind of design would you like to see? Very likely. Either a Switch Light with the Nook and Nookling designs on the sides and a possible "Nook Inc." logo somewhere, or a normal Switch with more AC-ish colors for the Joy-Cons and console and Nook/Nooklin engraves on the Dock.
How long do you think you'll play New Horizons on a daily basis? Several hours a day for the first few weeks, but as I play it for longer an longer, at least 30 minutes a day.

[Giddy]

What will you name your new island? I've had this name thought out before, so I'm happy to say it's going to be called 'Ataraxia' which means: 'a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety'

What will you name your new character? I haven't thought too much on the name so far, as I'm waiting to see what's it like to design our character before naming the character.
But so far I have the name Karma to work with.

What villager do you want on your new island most? I guess I would like to see Alfonso and Alli on the Island really~I would love to see some of the older villagers from the very first games as I've never seen them before!

What native fruit do you want on your new island? From the original fruit, either apples or cherries~ if there's any new fruit trees, I like the sound of Gooseberries, Sugar apples or Lime.

Do you think you will time travel in New Horizons? Why or why not, and when if yes? I don't really understand the time travel situation in the new game, but I probably won't time travel. I might go back a few hours if I miss an event, but that's about it. Though if the only way to time travel is to go back on the actual switch clock, then I might not, I don't wanna bother too much on it.
I'm not stressing myself over time travel again, if I miss something well there's always next there.

What are you most excited to do in New Horizons? CANAL VAULTING!! That looks so fun, I might just do that for an hour or so!

Will you buy a physical copy, a digital copy, or even both? Maybe both? Depends on when I actually get a switch. It's not the main thing I'm saving up for at the moment.

Will you buy a special edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch system if there is one? What kind of design would you like to see? I might? If I remind myself to mention the possibility of one to my mum as she was looking at some a few days ago. I'm not entirely bothered on getting one if the price is too high. Though the deisgn I'd like to see is maybe like those animal crossing puzzles I've seen? A scenery on the beach with certain villagers and players.

How long do you think you'll play New Horizons on a daily basis? This could all depends on where I'd be when I actually get the game, so for now I would say weekends and in the week afternoons.

Spoiler: You've found a map!

Didn't wanna have too many bridges as I'm hoping to just use the stick to jump over the river.
​

 

[Gir]

What will you name your new island? Rhizaria (name of my 1st NL town)

What will you name your new character? Gir

What villager do you want on your new island most? Stitches

What native fruit do you want on your new island? If the native fruit options are the same 5 as the previous games, then it really doesn't matter to me. But since we're starting off on an island, the other fruits might be added to the list. If that happens I'd really like to get lychees

Do you think you will time travel in New Horizons? Why or why not, and when if yes? Yea, but only by a couple hours in case I've missed an event or something like that.

What are you most excited to do in New Horizons? Decorating the island and working to complete the Museum.

Will you buy a physical copy, a digital copy, or even both? Physical

Will you buy a special edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch system if there is one? What kind of design would you like to see? It would be nice, but I probably won't have the money for it by the time it releases. But, if I absolutely love the game, I'll probably save up and buy a regular Switch Lite later on, so I could trade between two towns like I did with NL and buying another 2ds. I think a design that has different characters faces would be nice though.

How long do you think you'll play New Horizons on a daily basis? 1-3 hrs, will most likely be longer for the first couple of days though

Spoiler: map

If multi-level towns are back, I'd really like to get one with 3 levels like you could in the GC version. That's why there is three different shades of green on the map.

I wouldn’t buy it because I already have a switch but if there was one I’d like to see the logo of new horizons with the player and a couple of villagers near the player doing stuff that they would normally do in the games. (Fishing, bug catching, chatting, sitting, etc.)
How long do you think you'll play New Horizons on a daily basis? I think I’ll be able to do it for about 2 weeks.

I hope this counts since I just edited the map a lot.

[Blood Eclipse]

Spoiler: Part 1

What will you name your new island?
Stardew Valley or Starfall Valley,
if the name fits, of course.

What will you name your new character?
Mostly, the names I choose depend on the final look of my characters, but maybe I'll go with Hana, like my New Leaf character.

What villager do you want on your new island most?
Zucker.

What native fruit do you want on your new island?
Peach, definitely Peach.

Do you think you will time travel in New Horizons? Why or why not, and when if yes? Yes, I plan to time travel, as with the past installments. I'm not sure to when, exactly, maybe all the way back 500 BC.

What are you most excited to do in New Horizons?
Collect items, explore the map and listen to the soundtrack, which will hopefully be good.

Will you buy a physical copy, a digital copy, or even both? I'm not much for digital games, so physical for me.

Will you buy a special edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch system if there is one? What kind of design would you like to see?
Maybe, if done well. I'd like to see a light green or teal colored switch console with leaves and presents all over and npcs and balloons on the controller. I'm sure someone else can come up with a better design, but the general idea is something unique that doesn't look like a simple decal was plastered over another common colored console.

How long do you think you'll play New Horizons on a daily basis?
Maybe an hour or two sporadically. It all depends on my schedule.

Spoiler: Part 2

Coco! I have always loved her so much!

What native fruit do you want on your new island?
Probably peaches!

Do you think you will time travel in New Horizons? Why or why not, and when if yes?
Not at first. But I will eventually! I get too impatient, unfortunately!

Oh my gosh! I don't even know where to begin! I love how much more customizing there will be! I can't wait to make paths wherever I want!

Will you buy a physical copy, a digital copy, or even both?
Defiantly physical but might also eventually get a digital copy.

Will you buy a special edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch system if there is one? What kind of design would you like to see?
Gosh I would love to! Sadly I already own a Switch and I doubt my fiance would let me get another one lol. I really loved the European design of the 3DS they did for New Leaf. I would love something like that for Switch!

How long do you think you'll play New Horizons on a daily basis?
Way too much! I love trading so I will probably try to gather and so as much as possible so I can help others out!

Spoiler: My Town Map

I absolutely love the split rivers! I just made a few edits to the original map because honestly I have no idea what I really want! I am too overwhelmed by it all! But I really want my river to go to the side and front!

 

[Coach]

What will you name your new island? No clue just yet. Twinleaf was my previous town as it fit with the 'leaf' in NL, but for New Horizons I'm kinda stuck. Maybe Mushroom, since that's what my first DS town was called.
What will you name your new character? Daniel
What villager do you want on your new island most? Coach, of course!
What native fruit do you want on your new island? Pear or orange ideally. Hope it isn't Cherry, though!

What are you most excited to do in New Horizons? Decorate outside, I think.
Will you buy a physical copy, a digital copy, or even both? I'm planning on physical, however I might decide on digital if there are no reliable places to get it on day one. Not both.

How long do you think you'll play New Horizons on a daily basis? At least a month.

Spoiler: My map

I really like the idea of taking advantage of the ability of building a house on the beach! I also like the idea of some more isolated areas in town, especially with the pole vault it won't be such a pain to get to them!

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

What will you name your new island?

Probably Destiny, which is what I named my Tomodachi Life island.

What will you name your new character?

Marshal, obviously!

What native fruit do you want on your new island?

Pears, since that was the native fruit of my first AC:NL town.

It depends, but I'll probably try to avoid it at first. I'd like to understand the pros and cons of time travel in the game.

What are you most excited to do in New Horizons?

I'm excited to explore all the new features of the game, things that didn't exist in New Leaf or Pocket Camp. The beautiful graphics will be something to behold.

Will you buy a physical copy, a digital copy, or even both?

I will probably buy a physical copy, since I prefer to own games physically.

Will you buy a special edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch system if there is one? What kind of design would you like to see?

I don't see myself getting a special edition Switch. I think an island-themed design with palm trees/leaf symbols would be cute, though.

How long do you think you'll play New Horizons on a daily basis?

If I were to get New Horizons, I'd definitely play it as much as possible. My parents took notice of how much I played AC:NL when I first got it.
