There will not be Microtransactions and I'm gonna prove it.

[Antonio]

I don't think what you provided is proof Nintendo won't implement microtransactions in the game, seeing as your quotes are from the previous NOA President. Bowser may feel differently than Fils-Aime.

However, I do believe you provided evidence that suggests they might not, but we won't know for sure until Nintendo confirms or denies our suspicions. I also believe you're right in saying people shouldn't prematurely freak out. I'm in the camp that believes the language is there because of the online component, just as it is for Mario Kart. If I'm wrong, so be it. Life is too short, and the base game potentially too darn good, for me to throw a fit.

Don't Nintendo Japan usually decides things like this. You're right though, he may feel different but Nintendo Japan usually have the final say.

That's the thing.
It's only mintendo that can clarify it because it's their rating.

Yes but the topic of microtransactions is everywhere on the forums. No one is providing proper sources for their conclusions and the source they do have, are disproven in the main thread. Nintendo will clarify in the future but using the sources above, the chances of microtransactions being in the game is way less likely.

I think a lot of people are confusing mtx with dlc.

I imagine Nintendo's home base in Japan has the ultimate say, which further discredits Fils-Aime's quotes as support for your position.

John's right. Until Nintendo says something, we really won't know. But to reiterate, there's no sense in being upset, one way or the other.

While Nintendo has the final say, Reggie still spoke for the company and if his statements were wrong, Japan of Nintendo would've corrected him....

Also, what about my other points that you are clearly ignoring?

There is literally no way for someone to come to the conclusion on microtransaction after looking at this thread. You can wait for Nintendo to clarify which is understandable but there is literally no reason for you to think Nintendo would include micro transaction unless you are claiming things without actual sources.

My point still stands.

Finally, I'm not upset. I'm literally as calm as I could be. I just don't want to people to worry about something that is extremely unlikely to happen and the constant mention of Nintendo adding micro transaction, especially with nothing solid to back it up, is effecting the positive aura in threads.

I spoke to the 2nd and 3rd points in my first response. I have nothing to say to your first, because I have yet to see that as a reason people are giving.

And again, what Fils-Aime said back in 2018 has little bearing on how Bowser and the greater Nintendo feel now. I'm not disagreeing with you, just letting you know your points weren't very well supported.

You did mention the 2nd point, my apologies. However in-game purchases doesn't mean online functionality.

On the first point, I still think my point is pretty solid. It basically state that P.C. is a mobile game and NH is a console game and if they were gonna add micro transaction to NH, why wouldn't they do the same with Fire emblem: Three House's. Awhile ago, before the in-game purchases was mentioned, users keep on comparing new horizons to pocket camp and wouldn't stop suggesting that there would be micro transaction. They had no reasons to back them up.

On the topic of bowser, we don't know how he feels about it. However, they adding micro transaction to the game is extremely unlikely, especially since the game has been in development since before Reggie was replaced with Bowser. Bowser hasn't stated anything on dlc.

I would like you to read everything again, because I believe you are misassuming the objective of the thread and not taking everything into account. This thread isn't about whether or not micro transaction would be added, it's about the likeliness that it won't be micro transaction. I have provide sources and mentioned mostly every argument towards micro transaction that I can find via forums. However, neither you nor John has any sources or talking points towards the idea that they may add micro transaction over paid dlc. I would be happy to see some and I would also be happy to understand why my first argument isn't strong.

Nobody said we thought there would be MTA's!

We've not once, said that.
We want to know what the in game purchases are, and IF they're are MTA's.

We don't know!
Nobody does until (out of breath repeating this) Nintendo addresses the subject.

I'm going to wait and see like everyone else, because I'm sick of talking about.

Over & out.

Those 2 posts were literally from 2 days ago, mate:

This kinda sucks.
It sounds like a mobile game we know.

They finally are doing it.
I didn't sign up for microtransactions.
Neither did a lot of other AC fans.

Thanks for the heads up on that warning.

I paid for a full game. Not one I have to keep paying for.

I am calm.
It's just sad that greed won out.

I was really, really looking forward to NH. I've been playing AC for 15 years.

There's a lot I'd like to say, but I won't.

Like I said, this post isn't about whether or not there would be microtransactions, it's about the likeliness. What sources do you have that supports the likeness of microtransactions in New Horizons?

I don't know why you felt you needed to search my posts.

That's a pretty normal reaction to hearing a game you've been waiting for could have MTA's, after adding in-game purchases to it's rating.

Very normal reaction mate.

I do believe they are greedy, as I've played PC.

 

[SheepMareep]

No one has proof of microtransactions existing because it's all just an overly spread fear with no basis in truth o uo;;
This has been an ongoing complaint ever since crafting was announced. Its tiring. Everyone who has complained as if this is fact has been unable to give solid evidence to support their claim aside from pocket camp having it which has nothing to do with a main console game as evidence by mario kart not having microtransactions despite the mobile game having it as well as FE. ^^;

I feel like this ridiculous complaint wont subside until NH is finally released because people need a reason to be negative or complain until the game comes out

 

[John Wick]

Not a complaint from me.

I'm just waiting for some facts.

 

[SheepMareep]

.

You make it kind of clear in almost every thread that you believe microtransactions and the such exist/that nintendo is greedy... I dont think anyone really has to search hard for it/its kind of common knowledge how you feel at this point o uo;;

I don't know if there are.
I've said that too, many, many times.

Waiting for a direct is all.

Edit. I have never said "I believe MTA's are definately in NH". And the only thing I've repeatedly tried to make clear is nintendo needs to clarify things, and that we are waiting for a direct.

Because your posts counteract the argument you were trying to make.

Listen, the likeness of this game have MTA's are unlikely. The literal main post points out how being greedy isn't gonna affect the mainline game in terms of in-game purchases. Especially point number 1.

Thank you, I was worried my point was getting across due to the way I was writing it.

 

[John Wick]

Like I said.
An initial reaction to someone posting a topic about the ESRB rating.
Many others had a similar reaction.

Since then, I've been saying "I'm waiting for a direct".

End of it now.

Those quotes say otherwise. Still, though, the thread is about there likeliness of MTA's not if there are gonna be any.

I would love to hear your sources/arguments on the greediness of Nintendo and how that could affect the mainline game.

 

[SheepMareep]

Nah everything you said makes sense I just think everyone is set in their fears and are trying to justify them despite a lack of hard evidence. Itll all blow over when the game comes out and people realize there is no microtransactions.

Pretty sure battlefront nuked the possibility of any non free to play game having microtransactions anyway so.

No one needs to prove that there will not be micro-transactions. You just have to know the AC community to know that people wont stand for that garbage treatment of the franchise. If Nintendo is competent they will already have data that shows that the community will be extremely angry about micro-transactions and that they wont welcome it.

There will definitely be expansions and DLC though and I think even that will make a lot of people angry. Nintendo has show that they are not afraid to charge people for content that would have been originally free in previous games. This generation we have seen Nintendo make massive changes to its most popular franchises in order to accommodate DLC and Expansions. Smash Bros, Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, etc, are all franchises that have seen expansions and DLC added this generation.

We will likely see DLC packages that will include major features and themed content being added to the e-shop on a seasonal or yearly basis. My guess is we will see Nintendo partner with other companies like Sanrio, to offer more themed content DLC. I also believe we will get newly added content like furniture, clothing, hairstyles, locations and possibly new characters and gameplay mechanics added over time as DLC as well.

I always found that AC was the perfect game for exploiting players with paid DLC content. Its a game where customization is one of its standout features and is a pivotal feature of the game. Those kinds of features are perfect for DLC. We also already know their will be in game purchases based on the ESRB rating found on the back on the games physical case.

In any case, I wouldn't worry about Micro-transactions. Nintendo would literally kill their own franchise if they implemented that without even warning its core fans about it ahead of time.

 

[DrewAC]

I want them to tell us there won't be microtransactions. I don't think it's ethical to hold a direct and not come clean, if there are any.

As stated, DLC down the line that isn't a regular in-game everpresent factor, is fine.

I have been wanting to ask that of people for the past couple of days but was too nervous tbh.

What if?
What would you do IF?

I don't think they'll explicitly say just that, if that's what you're hoping.

Instead, and this is just my guess, we'll play the game for a few months before there's any talk of DLC, and then we'll probably be looking at large packs of content, just as they've done for every other title.

Knock on wood just in case, but I am pretty sure Nintendo knows the difference between mobile and console monetizing, especially given their good track record with it.

Thanks for this thread and sources! I don't believe in microtransactions and I am not worried. Even if there are microtransactions we will have to wait and see. I am sure Nintendo will not come around the corner and says: listen we will have microtransactions. Deal with it" the community will set the Nintendo HQ on fire xD So we will learn about it most likely when the game releases ^^ Don't get your hopes up that Nintendo will say anything about the 'in app purchases'.

We don't have to wait much longer for the game to release. So relaxe everyone
