Wilbur and Orville, you've sent me to an island with pears 500 times already. I already have some at home, in fact pears were the fruit I started with. Please stop.

 

[sunchild]

my one minor complaint right now is that i wish i could craft things, mainly fish bait, in multiples. i would like to stop button mashing lol.

 

[Underneath The Stars]

-no rover. still not over it.

-hourly music. what happened? why do we have to wait for it?

-kinda getting annoyed that tools break easily even the better ones, but it's fine i guess, though i just think the crafting thing will get old very quick. was never a big fan of it even on pocket camp. i wanted to make an island/town, not be the next cyrus.

-lack of NPCs.

-what happened to the other exotic fruits?

-and the worth of 2000 nook miles ticket is not worth it.

other things, i can still tolerate.

Inviting campers using amiibo is a bit tedious since you need to invite them three times and you need to craft them something every time I'm not sure if this has something to do with island rating but it is rather annoying

 

[Underneath The Stars]

ok regarding, NPCs to be fair they wanted to give us that deserted island feel, but hearing that in the future they won't even come (even BREWSTER?) these are animal crossing staples......

correct me if wrong and most of them are coming though, not just on holidays/special events

 

[blossoming]

BREWSTERS NOT COMING BACK???? Okay bye I'm done. This game just isnt doing it for me.

 

[Chachamaru]

This is my biggest annoyance so far. I'm really annoyed by it. Furniture colors and nook points reward furniture items seem to be specific to islands like the flowers and fruits are. Randomly generated. Whats worse? You can't edit them.

I have also noticed I am only getting 3 types of flowers for sale in nooks cranny. It never changes.

Main other things:
-no deep sea diving/swimming?.. Why..?
-no dream suite type of situation.
-Island tickets are super expensive for me to repeatedly find no villager, no good bugs, no good fish, my native fruit, my native flower. Over, and over, and over again.
-dialogue in game with animals has always been headed down hill with every new title, and this is the worst yet. So boring. They get annoyed with you easily too.
-why oh why do some wallpapers have no windows and others do. It's bizarre.

Silly personal things:
-Not a fan of the new football fish look, I miss the teeth. I like the scary angler fish look over the plainer ones.
-goldfish bowl is cute, but.. I miss the cute fish bowl. It's now like an outdoor pot/decor..
-Was hoping for doors between rooms like in happy home designer. nope.
-was hoping for ceiling lights like in happy home designer. again, nope?
-I am personally not a fan of the tools breaking.. The more you progress the less of a problem it is, but it just feels annoying to me.
-sad we seemingly cant make the outside of our houses and buildings stylized anymore. I will miss my castle house in new leaf.

 

[Therhodian]

The game is sold out everywhere in my country... I didn't pre-order... Now I finaly got it... But I need to wait 7-9 more hours til I get the game it will be evening by then.

YES omg i caught a few football fish and they look so plain looking now lol

no doors? yikes

 

[blossoming]

why is this game so much worse than animal crossing new leaf like ugh now im sad i thought that loads of npcs would come back but nope. i think the magic is gone and it's so disappointing. i thought the villager dialogue would get better

 

[Heyden]

I’m enjoying the game so far but the Nook Miles Tour is a huge stepdown from the island in ACNL.
I’m grinding 2000 miles to 90% of the time go to an island with my fruit/flowers already, has no shop, no multiplayer with friends, no basket to put your items in, and theres like only 4 different islands you can explore which have the same bugs and fish as your town anyway. And I really really miss the island tours so much : (

Oh yeah and Harvey should’ve just been left out, such a useless feature lol.

 

[blossoming]

It seems so hard to get

 

[JKDOS]

I wish that we would have the hourly music already instead of waiting until a certain point in game play.

This ^ . I've played countless hours over the weekend, and every minute I play I'm stuck with the same 2 tracks. (1 plays during the day, 1 plays very late at night)


Also:

* Gold Tools break, or so I've read...

* Some fish (Maybe bugs too) can only be caught on cliffs. This sucks because I was going to have a flat town like Wild World.

* Can't move/pickup furniture in town while guest are over... No Nintendo, I don't know Japanese culture, but it is most certainly not RUDE to move furniture when guest are over... Especially when the guest verbally state they don't mind If I move some furniture.

* Multiplayer is still a mess. It takes way too long to go out, or open the game. This process needs to be more streamlined.

* Villager dialogue is as bad as New Leaf if not worse.


That's about it. The game is otherwise great.

Couple of gripes I have so far:

- I wish I can craft multiple of something. Especially bait. Crafting it one by one is such a hassle... If the store sold it I would just spend bells to buy it rather than spending so much time button mashing to craft.

- The Nook Miles Tours are kinda... Lackluster. Sure, I sometimes get an island where I feel my trip is worth it, but 9 out of 10 times it's just disappointment. If they added exclusive bugs/fish that appear ONLY on these tours, or added more exotic fruit (bananas, for example) it'd give them more variety and give me more incentive to go. I'm only really going once a day now until villagers start appearing again.

- Multiplayer seems lackluster. It may be because all of my friends are just starting out just like I am, but at least in New Leaf we had the island to go to to play fun mini games and try to see who can catch the most rare fish and beetles... Now we don't really have much to do other than run around one of each other's islands and hitting each other with nets for a few minutes. Seems really boring to me and I'm sad about that because I really wanted to involve myself with the community this time around.

Here's hoping these change in future updates!! Other than that I love the game. Been playing it all weekend and I'm so sad I have to go back to work today since I won't get to play as much lol

 

[JKDOS]

I am stuck in the lower part of the island due to both rivers going south. lol talk about jail

That was intentional. Everyone is stuck. You need to progress the story .

The balloon present's shadows don't seem to line up with the actual balloon presents.

That's not a problem. In real life, shadows change depending on the location of the sun.

There's, like, way too many balloons. I'm sick and tired of hunting them down every ten minutes!

Then stop. Who is forcing you? I love the balloons, and will keep them as is.

It's waaaay too hard to make bells, given how easy it is in Pocket Camp.
I wish it was easier, if I wasn't able to get fruit from other folks, I'd be struggling a lot more.

1. Pocket Camp is not a true Animal Crossing game, so we shouldn't compare to it.

2. Making money is no hard. Go fishing. I made 400,000 bells yesterday. Also, keep an eye out for Emperor butterflies and Tarantulas.

-Cant message friends unless they visit me or I visit them
(Wont know to visit without other communication methods outside of the game)

Not true, like in New Leaf, you can use the Best Friend chat.

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

The Nintendo Switch plays docked to a TV/Monitor, touchscreen is not a priority for gameplay.

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

Villager name tags are based on their colors, not genders.

e? You can't edit them.

I have also noticed I am only getting 3 types of flowers for sale in nooks cranny. It never changes.

You have to unlock more flowers. They only sell what you've unlocked.

 

[Amphibian]

Just invited Fuchsia to the campsite and I'm not really feeling her new catchphrase (it's 'precious'!)

 

[lunachii]

I'm sorry but I hate the music, it is hourly because of my upgrades, but I can still barely tell any difference between the songs and it feels like I listen to the same song all day.

I also hate crafting tools and them breaking, especially if you're in an inconvenient spot and you have to run all the way home to craft a new one. Crafting other stuff is fun tho

On the topic of crafting: I wish you could craft in quantities, for example craft 2 axes at once. Really annoying if you have a lot to craft.

I also hate not being able to move stuff around in your pockets, having to drop them and pick them up to be "in the right" place, my ocd can't handle it

You actually can. Try holding A.

 

[Sprinkles_penguin]

My biggest complain is that you can't play with your friends online/ scan QR codes without paying. Back in the day those were for FREE.

Also, the lack of an art section in the museum is disappointing

 

[Chachamaru]

How do you unlock them? I have gone to around 15 islands and have gotten nothing but hyacinths and cosmos. I have nooks cranny upgraded to it's second (final..?) level and still have nothing but tulips, cosmos, and hyacinths. Really want lilies..
