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

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.

There was still a bunch of new subtle things they showed. Stuff like the giant mushroom and things like that. They didn't make a point to say "Hey look at this thing!" but they showed plenty. And because they didn't go into detail and Animal Crossing was really just touched on in the direct it makes sense why they wouldn't show anything new villager wise. I'm sure Nintendo will have another direct with New horizons, whether it's a direct dedicated to AC or it's just a mainline game in one of the upcomings, they're not going to show the really great stuff until we get a little closer to March.
 
I hope we get a direct maybe december cause then pokemon will already have been out a month and they can focus on animal crossing
 
I don't think it's any dumber than putting a shark in your pocket, and if anything it makes designing a town like most people do much easier.

I agree with this. I'm sure they'll reveal more next months, probably with directs only focused on AC. I'd prefer to see the biggest news with more dedicated trailers, this one was really short and I think it was a calculated choice to not show us new villagers etc.
I really can't wait about it anyway, hope we'll have some new species!
 
I’m iffy on the animalese that’s being used for nh, but that's just me...
 
They have given no indication that you WON'T be able to do that.


This^^^

To anyone worried about digging trees up, I've seen tree stumps so it looks like things are optional. It'll be easier if we plant something in the wrong place and if you don't want to dig the tree up, don't? (๑?⌓︎?๑)

I know we can.
I've seen the pic of a player using the axe.

I'm just saying, like the person I quoted, Parakoopa144, I will be growing my trees naturally rather than digging them up. :)

Bland graphics

The graphics and environments don?t look very immersive or exciting (especially for a home console game) to me compared to the other ac games. They could of evolved it more and take advantage of the consoles power but it looks like a iphone game. also that AC was coming back to console I was hoping that they would model out characters hand?s, paws, claws etc at least smash bros style and let us wear glove accessories
 
The pole-vaulting across rivers is making me unreasonably happy. I've only played AC:NL, and only played for a little while, so I never got enough bells to buy a new bridge. While it was only a few seconds, I hated how I had to take the long way round to cross the river whenever what I wanted was just there on the other side!

The eating a snack to make certain activities easier probably goes hand-in-hand with that.

Also, the NookMiles achievement system adds some optional goals/structure to the game which will be a nice gentle nudge in a direction whenever you get that "okay what next?" feeling.

While I can appreciate this, I do think AC has a very defined look. It hasn't really changed since the N64 original in Japan, looking at screenshots - just refined through a higher polygon count and sharper textures. Add too many small details and the rather charming aesthetic might be ruined... I can imagine it's a hard balancing act for the artists who suddenly have all this processing power at their disposal but have to be very careful and conservative about how they apply it to stay "on brand".

They are at least physically modelling a lot of the clothes - a shirt has a shape rather than being a simple texture applied on top of the model. That's new, right?
 
I'm really excited, but after looking at the old acnl direct I realize that the game and the trailer looked very different.

I like what they have for NH right now based on the trailer, so I'd be a little sad if anything is different

But hey, if they do change anything hopefully it will be better?
 
i feel like one of the main things i’m excited for is the pole vaulting? it might seem a little mediocre compared to other new features but i think it’s neat aha
 
yeah lol, i was half asleep when i wrote that so mediocre was the only word i could think of

Hehe, yeah, I wasn't intending that to sound condescending, I was genuinely trying to work out what you meant by mediocre and then figured you might have meant trivial :)
