Unpopular opinion: I could honestly live without Brewster and his gyroids in this game. Was it cute to get a cup of coffee in the cafe? (Say that 5 times fast) Sure! Was it really worth my time? Did I do it more than a couple of times in the many, many years I played NL? Nope. Plus, I personally found gyroids to be more of a nuisance to dig up than a cute collectible, and was actually pretty happy that I wouldn't have to do that in this game.

I do not like the sisterly villagers. I really want to like them, but they are too much! I have Reneigh anyway, because I really want to like her...(and i also want her to like me lol) I like talking to my villagers multiple times a day when I play. The sisterly villagers get so put off by it! I'm like, whats your problem, im just trying to talk to you. I've figured out that to keep them from getting all mad for talking to them, you have to only talk to them once or twice a day. Everyone else loves when I talk to them all the time! Sisterly villagers are far from sisterly.

heh...
Not sure how unpopular this is, but I feel like the switch is lacking in those minor details. (ex. wallpapers). It's been, what, more than 4 years now. I don't know, it just feels like it's missing some things that the DS has/had. If I could play switch games on my 3ds, I probably would.

My unpopular opinion is kind of a controversial one, and kinda series specific, but it's gotten stronger since ACNH. I really dislike Isabelle...
I know she's now the poster pup for the series, but I absolutely dislike her with a passion. She was okay to start with in New Leaf, and I thought, yeah she seems sweet, but I just find her annoying. I also think she's a bit too 'happy' and 'peppy'. I've nothing wrong at all with people being optimistic and excited etc, but it just seems fake to me. I know she's super popular now with fans and everything, but I also don't agree with her being the poster pup for the game. I think there's a lot more characters who should be the 'mascot' for the series. I know Nook is also kinda a mascot for the series, and though he's a swindly little rogue, I don't mind Nook. The fact that she is pretty useless in ACNH, with her updates at least, is also annoying. Like how she says nothing is happening on the island, when we have daily visitors etc. I feel like she was added in for fan service, rather than them having a specific idea for her. I will say this though, I did like how with Valentines Day, only the villagers you have high friendship with gaveyou chocolates. On my main island all of my villagers gave me chocolates as well as Isabelle, but on my 2nd island only Agnes and Isabelle gave me chocolate, so I did like that even if you have no one on your island with high enough friendship, you still had Isabelle.

I think that the balloon hem dress shape is ugly and I'm jealous that my villagers can wear them as normal dresses
She is basically HR for Tom Nook indentured servitude. So her personality fits well. I am okay with that.
Any character filling in during the morning update would get annoying after a while! What, do you want Shrunk in that role??? 
to be fair, shrunk is litShe is basically HR for Tom Nook indentured servitude. So her personality fits well. I am okay with that.
and although i've started to like isabelle, i wouldn't mind seeing shrunk instead of her
NH really didn't do Isabelle any favours tbh - her rambling at the start of every new day is a bit wearing, and It really highlights the need for a more informative announcement of the islands visitors. It's mental that she is like, "no news today - oh wait, I found my missing sock!" when there is a unconscious seagull pirate washed up on the shores, or a camel selling carpets (who is very stealthy and hard to find on my mountainous forest island lol).
I agree her addition seemed like fan service - I don't think she needs to be cut or anything like that, she could easily be more useful simply with the changes to the announcements. But she also isn't my favourite character as I honestly find her a touch bland.
It reminds me of Varric in Dragon Age Inquisition. A fan favourite in the previous games (for good reason, he is a great character), who was also a companion in Inquisition. It didn't do the character any favours - he added little to the story and his personality paled in comparison to what players had experienced in the previous game. I mean, the change in his personality made sense story wise, but it was a shame that such a good character was brought back simply to be made sort of... forgettable?
This isn't to say I thought Isabelle was an amazing character in New Leaf, but she definitely had more personality, and slotted into the flow of the game a lot better.
Agreed. They truly did her dirty in this game and new fans probably think she's really annoying. Meanwhile I'm sitting here like "no guys, she used to be useful, I swear! ;w;"
I only noticed this when I played NL recently, but the camera in this game is always farther away from you. And I realised that when it was closer and more level with me, it made me enjoy talking to my neighbours more since they seemed more... close?? Intimate? I have no idea but I don't have the same feeling of wanting to talk with them in this game as I did in NL, and I don't think it's the dialogue. I kind of wish we could zoom in now.

Unpopular opinion: Isabelle is the most pointless character added in New Horizons. All she ever does is talk about her personal life whenever you boot the game up the next day, doesn't say anything interesting only when its villager's birthdays, events that are going on, and sometimes about a shooting star, but other than that she doesn't really do much.
Pah, “Isabelle’s announcements are annoying” isn’t an unpopular opinion, it’s a very popular opinion! It’s just a negative one.
A true unpopular opinion’s “While Isabelle’s announcements do get kinda repetitive and are in deep need of more variations as that’s kind of the problem, turning her into a glorified bulletin board that removes any need to look around and discover things, removes any characterisation she has, as well as potentially making Copper redundant if he’s ever added into the game, is a terrible idea”

I did definitely prefer her in New Leaf, even though I found her to be quite annoying, but she is super lacking New Horizons as we've said. If she gave us updates then she'd essentially take on the role of Cooper and Booker, the police dogs, and rather than going to them, she'd automatically tell you. It'd infinitely more useful than hearing that she had trouble with her crossword, for the 50th time.

Probably a weird one, but I'm not really a fan of waterfalls! I have three areas on my island where rivers flow from one level to another, therefore I have a grand total of three waterfalls. It seems to be super popular to decorate using dozens and dozens of them, and sure they can look pretty, but I dunno, it bugs me that they're usually just apparating out of nowhere 
Like why is there water just falling out of the sky everywhere? It's petty I know, but it's always seemed weird to me!

I'm completely with you.Probably a weird one, but I'm not really a fan of waterfalls!

I'm also like that when it comes to people who decorate their islands with stuff like cafes and restaurants. I'm just left thinking "who's running this? Where are the staff at?"
I know its silly because it's a video game but I want logical consistency dammit!
