1. my biggest complaint at this moment is about the hourly music like others have said: i've heard the same song for days and i'm getting sick of it. it takes a bit too long to unlock the hourly music.. debating on actually muting my tv from how repetitive the same song is getting
2. wishing we could craft fish bait in multiples
3. my fishing rod probably breaks every 5 minutes because it's my only good source of bells at the moment. that's even with the regular version, tools break quickly

Flower types
There’s only like 3 flower types in my town, I can’t even find common flowers such as tulips and roses. It seems maybe the flower types could depend on what hemisphere you chose your island to be in, but not even the shop or the Nook Miles island tours have any other flower type in stock...

Someone elsewhere mention a fair amount of the furniture sets have been cut, including all Gracie stuff, and the astro set. Not sure how they know this.

ALSO my BIGGEST complaint which is kind of a funny one but the fact that there's barely ANY use of the touch screen, it would be so useful for quickly selecting something in my inventory or like many ppl have mentioned the pattern designer... missed opportunity tbh

I'm kinda salty about the whole thing about the 3 plots thing Tom makes you do.
The day before I convinced Zucker and Lily to move to my island, and I already planned where to put their houses. But when Tom asked me to place those 3 plots, I had no idea if 2 of them were the villagers I requested or they were random villagers. The game never tells you, or at least not clearly. So now I have to wait until I unlock town hall before I can move their houses to where I originally wanted them to be.

Is Agent S a male now? I saw that they had a blue name tag, yet in earlier games, it was pink.

I got the console and was still waiting on the game.
I've downloaded a ton of gameplay and read just about everything I could about the game.
Today, I rejected the game parcel when it arrived.
I opened the console so now I am trying to sell it privately.
My 15 year relationship with this series is over, for now.
Too many cons, and not enough pros.
Made my heart sink to hear of the NPC cuts, the bushes, shops, furniture sets.
I had my island planned out. I'd make a modern hotel, then I found the house is smaller now (I have also seen footage of all the available exteriors after the final upgrade), the left and right rooms are only 6 x 6, and the attic and basement are rectangle, 10 x 6.
And.. no house styles as in New Leaf.
There went my last hope after bushes being cut from the game, and seeing islands with just fences and furniture outside.
You can cram stuff outside, but bushes really are vital to beautification.
There is a heap more, like the game being one big crafting grind, that the developer even said was 'in part', made that way to ease PC players into it.
A shame they forgot about the fifteen + year(s) veteran players who had their hopes and dreams pretty much crushed.
Breaking tools, (and golden tools?), mystery tours at 2000 Nook Miles a pop...
It used to cost a mere $1000 Bells to visit Tortimer island for farming and tours.)
Bells have become the secondary currency, as with PC, and Nook Miles are the Leaf Tickets of NH, as in, a grind to make, and the cost of certain things is absurdly high.
Nook's Cranny with one upgrade?
Even Wild World had Nookington's.
No more Gracie furniture.
That's what I planned to use.
I have been in complete turmoil over it, as each feature or NPC was stripped from the game, I kept clinging on, telling myself it would be ok, but with so much taken away, leaving a skeleton, with a ton of fantastic content removed for no real reason, I realized there wasn't enough left (for me) to really enjoy.
I hope for those playing, that if they add it back, that it isn't at a real cost.
I'll check the news and hope that AC finds it's way back to the amazing series it has always been.
Maybe if enough fans let Nintendo know that it's not OK to strip a massive amount of features, NPC's, shops, art, swimming, house size and style (the list goes on.), then maybe they will fix it, but I don't think they care at this point.
I hope it has a happy ending, somewhere down the line.

Having to make the furniture etc for villagers homes....so tedious. The FLIMSY TOOLS are so irritating.

Liquor is quicker.
Tell me about it. I'm just about going mad from hearing this same starter tune for 4 days straight. When does the town hall get built anyway? I have all three animal homes ready to go (materials supplied with animal names on the signs) but only one has been built and moved into. Do I have to wait until the other two are moved into before the town hall/hourly music?
Dang that part about animals going indoors hasn't been a thing since Wild World. Does that happen even with a lesser amount of online players, say just 2 people? You could understand if 8 people were over, but surely the Switch could handle a few animals plus a few players.

I’m shocked at how much was cut from the game, as well. I have a feeling a lot of things will be added back incrementally, through updates/events.
I’m still really enjoying the game, and can’t wait to see what’s in store.
You’ll probably get everything you were expecting in due time, then maybe you’ll pick up the game again.
But yeah, I get where you’re coming from.

I don't think we have the full game yet. A previous direct may have mentioned them patching in future events, while showing returning npcs like Leif. Take that how you want. I'm concernd about needing a sd card to keep playing.

To be honest, I havent gotten the game yet but reading reviews about it makes me really disappointed. Dont get me wrong, theres still a lot of cool aspects but theres so many amazing NPCs that aren't in the game anymore and it sucks. And the stuff about the house, and how theres not even many upgrades for nooks shop, which was one of the best parts. Honestly I prefer new leaf just by reading your rants, maybe that's just me.

I have only minor problems with the game.
One thing that I’ve noticed is that it just doesn’t compare to when I first played New Leaf. At least the initial stuff anyway. It doesn’t have that same homey opening sequence like Wild World or NL. (Never played City Folk.) It’s nostalgic looking back on those games and thinking: yeah, I liked being in that car whilst it was raining or on the train. Completely just my opinion though.
I’m enjoying the game thoroughly, but maybe because I’m an adult now I just have different tastes. I’ve only played the game for 4 days now like most the majority of people. Once I truly start putting in time to develop my island and grow with my islanders/villagers I’m sure I’ll become more attached.
