Three More Weeks

[Candy83]

On this posting date, Friday, February 28, 2020, I note there are 21 days (three weeks) until the release of ?Animal Crossing: New Horizons? on Nintendo Switch.

I look forward to it.

I have to admit: I am a bit intimidated.

I am so used to ?New Leaf,? including its mayoral concept with the game?s overall structure and limitations, that getting a much more open structure in design with ?New Horizons? feels like uncharted territory.

Watching the videos of being able to alter one?s island blows me away.

And that?s the thing?we can discuss what we imagine we?ll do. What map to select. Where to place one?s house. What starting villagers will one receive. Which other villagers does one want. How many can we have? Where to place their houses.

I am imagining some of the things I may do. I may reserve particular areas for future shops?so they neighbor each other. A zoning control on my part. (I have been doing that for some time. And I loved ?Welcome amiibo,? the update in 2016, for giving me that freedom.) That I may want to make some sense of where things go.

Oh, and the house! I like the interior already. The wallpaper looks real. The flooring looks real. The doors like real. The windows look real. The furniture looks real.

I like that we can relocate. I hope one can relocate a villager?s house?just in case improvement is needed.

I like that we can construct paths. (I am already liking the brick paths.)

Oh, what fruit will I get? My favorite perfect fruit is the apple. But, on an island, I may find it more appropriate for it to be the orange. Then again?I may try to control what I select, for a map, so that I end up with the apple.

Will I still play ?New Leaf??

I don?t know. I am guessing I will. I know I don?t want to get too far ahead of myself.

I will play ?New Horizons.?

Now, where to buy ?New Horizons?? Oh, and should I buy a second Nintendo Switch console?and a second retail copy of ?New Horizons??

I?ll figure it out.

I look forward to this.

21 days.

Three weeks.

Countdown continues until Friday, March 20, 2020.

Three weeks already....this wait has flown by.

And I agree with you. The new features are so much, but I can’t wait to dig in!

 

[Mars Adept]

A week from now, the wait will be two weeks, and that’s when I think the game will start to feel really close.

It feels surreal to think that the wait will finally be over. I’ve been through HHD, the game that shall not be named, an update for an 4 year old game(albeit a good one), the mobile game getting delayed twice then constantly advertised with no information on the new main series game even after it was announced, then 9 months after that, unveiled. It’s all behind us now, and it’s beautiful. This game will top all other Animal Crossing games to the point where I don’t think the one after will be able to top that, and the best part is that it was worth the 7 year wait.

As Tom Nook put it, “A lovely new horizon awaits us all!”.

See you March 20th.

I'm so excited! The game looks so good, it'll be so much fun.

One week until Mystery Dungeon, two weeks until I pick up my Animal Crossing themed Switch, three weeks until the game. I think the next few weeks will fly by

I can almost taste vacation juice.

Hard to believe it's been about 9 months since E3. It may seem longer for others, but I can't even remember the summer and fall months.

Only 3 more work weeks to push through

 

[Candy83]

I have been watching and re-watching a number of videos published to YouTube. I especially enjoyed Nintendo’s preview of the game from February 20, 2020. And I like the timing—I enjoy the Spring.

So close, yet sooooo far away.
Three weeks! I can?t take it anymore. I don?t even know what to do with myself anymore. Since I stopped playing new leaf, I?ve been pretty much doing room cleaning and organizing. I?ve literally reorganized all my drawers, closet, redecorated. I need something else to keep me entertained for the next 3 weeks.

 

[tajikey]

Less than 3 weeks if you're a digital buyer. And to think, it was last June that we learned of the release date.

 

[Stevey Queen]

Its going to be a painful few weeks I’ll say that.

Mystery Dungeon should help though.

 

[Cheybunny]

So excited !!!!!

 

[Mayor-of-Bliss]

I'm getting to the point too where I need something else to keep me busy. The wait is worth it but it feels too far away still. All I want to do is get to play it. I'm kind of starting to get annoyed it's not out.

 

[DJStarstryker]

Really looking forward to this. The more I hear, the better this sounds.

 

[Riley9]

The longest three weeks of my life that is

 

[MKInfinite]

REALLY looking forward to release, I bought it digital in the end because I just want to be able to play at 9pm on the 19th lmao

I'm also really glad I bought Rune Factory 4 to tide me over until release day (and then when New Horizons releases I'll ignore literally every other game, maybe this way I can finally start a backlog lol)

Only other game I really play is Clash of Clans, and as a near maxed TH13, it takes forever to upgrade anything. I feel like I can easily exist within both environments on a daily basis...maybe.

it?s so close yet so far!! it seems like time is going so quickly in the slowest way possible aha - hard to believe that the direct was just last week!
