What do you think about the new things shown to us about ACNH in Nintendo Direct?

[skeletontape]

They've worked on the sea shaders. They are more detailed now.

They also changed the grass. It was solid before; now it has the little AC shapes on it. Makes a huge difference!

did anyone else notice how the gorilla villager (i don't remember his name) in the autmun scene seems to be carrying some kind of basket? i wonder if it's a seasonal item tied to a holiday event. or maybe it's just some cute accessory you can carry around. we do have bags and backpacks now!

Antonio is standing reading a book, and Butch puts away his net and sits on the ground by the river. Looks like they're giving the villagers a lot more to do!

I’m happy

I''m happy with it! Like a lot of other people have said, I wasn't really even expecting anything from this direct. I think it's great, but I don't see whats so wrong about the tree moving mechanics? I guess it's not realistic but we've been pocketing sharks for years now. Everything looks great and I'm excited to get some more information and not just a better version of the nintendo treehouse.

 

[acornavenue]

i was curious about those two! i saw someone suggest that it could be an indicator that a new villager would be moving in soon.

Maybe also a way to send orders or something?

"Oh, and there's something else, we'd like to offer you an original Nook INC nook phone, It comes pre-installed with a variety of apps, for all your deserted island needs, including recipes for crafting tools and furniture"

This makes me wonder if they just got rid of nooks store temporarily (like Nookling junction) for this, or its going to be renovated later. Because i know for a fact we can still buy things from the raccoons if we don't want to spend time searching for materials.

I have to point out one thing that bothered me. They said to cut down a tree you need to eat an apple/other fruit. This means it's like the games I've moved away from where you need to tend to hunger levels etc. I really hope we don't need to keep eating to do things. That puts me right off.

to move a fully grown tree you only need to eat a fruit, to actually cut it you just need an axe, as the character was seen cutting a tree to get wood. The fruit worked more like a power boost more than anything else, especially because it had a counter (that increased to 7 when the character ate a fruit, and decreased by one when digging the full tree)

I don't think they're gonna pull off a full hunger meter, because AC is more about taking your time and relaxing than actually worrying about certain stuff. If we needed food to do other activities, we would have seen the hunger meter pop up on the upper left corner like with the replanting tree segment.

Exactly! In the upper corner it showed an apple icon and when they ate an apple it had x number and when they moved the tree that number went down by one. I think it is cool we can move full trees instead of starting from scratch and that they found a way to incorporate that.

Hopefully it won't be a meter.

If I wanted that, I'd still be playing Nintendogs or Pokemon.

I like how detailed the shoes are now, you can tell now that you're wearing flipflops or boots

Also idk if anyone noticed but

timestamp: 0:34

I was wondering what this is,,i'm thinking its leading up to the tier of the town or maybe its like a mainstreet kinda thing??

Another image of it (i think its the same location?)

I'm so glad they showed us more in the new trailer and it just looks really great! All of the new things were really cool and I'm glad they gave us the longer dresses and more bags for us to wear everyday. That really huge mushroom too was so amazing and I wonder what it is? This game is really looking like the best Animal Crossing game ever and I for one just can't wait to play it. ^^

I think this is just the northern side of the island. You can see a gap in the wall around 3:55 on the little map in the treehouse showcase from E3: https://youtu.be/dEh3MPy4GAU?t=235

They never showed the northern side in detail so far, so they might change stuff there and/or it wasn't ready during E3. I guess this might be one of the reveals for a later date, but in the previous games the northern side of the town always was a wall that can't be passed in some kind. So maybe it is just a boring wall with a little gap for a fishing spot, but I hope they will do something special with it.

this trailer has made me so excited. i love the new opportunities for character customisation, landscaping and villager interaction. i love the way the game looks and the ability to place furniture outside. march can't come soon enough!!

 

[jenikinz]

I seriously cannot wait for this game. I am excited to start a new version of AC, and this one looks amazing to me.

 

[EpicGamer12]

I am sure this has been mentioned before, but the SEASONS in the game look amazing. Winter in previous AC titles have always been gross and hard on the eyes. Winter in NH looks so cozy and beautiful. The autumn colours are stunning. I am so excited for this game.

 

[Snowesque]

This could be just my memory failing me as it does, but I appreciate the touch of the rain making sound on the umbrella again!

 

[Circus]

It all looks super amazing! I like that they changed the grass to look more like the grass from previous games, and seeing the trees with christmas lights on them was so pretty! I'm excited to see what they do with other holidays, and being that it comes out near the end of March, I'll probably get to see april fool's day first, if they include it, which they hopefully will.

 

[Kristenn]

I'm obsessed with EVERYTHING. I also can't stop thinking about the music.... it sounds like they used real instruments like trumpets and it just sounds so peaceful with the wind. I NEED A SOUNDTRACK lol

 

[Mink777]

New stuff? It was basically the same stuff we saw in e3. Not sure what the point of it was.

I'm also pissed about their choice of villagers to show. We didn't see any Welcome Amiibo villagers, old GameCube villagers that haven't returned, and new villagers.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I thought Wolfgang looked fantastic.
