The music
The tropical fruit
Villager dialogue
Villagers being annoying - it gave the game more life
Minigames and Tortimer Island
The furniture sets - like Gracie’s!!
Any NPCs who haven’t returned in NH (I don’t wanna lose anyone
)
Just the feel of the game - more life sim than decorating
All the shops in Main Street
The progression
The fact that the game is saved on the cartridge so you can play multiple towns on the same 3DS!
Everything to do with Resetti - I love when you can visit him
Little events - it feels so much more alive than just ordering stuff from Nook Shopping
Perfect fruit
House exterior customisations
Most things to be honest, it’s such a nostalgic game to me that I think I’ll even miss the things I hated as a child.
