What do you want differently/new in the upcoming AC game?

[Lissieleviosaa]

oh my gosh, I agree with Shutter. Let us have more villagers!!!

 

[GoldenKaraSus]

I think we should have the option to choose were the villagers live. [Is there a specific place you want their house?{A:Nah vs B:Yeah, I'll decide!}] Something like that. It's way more realistic to choose where they live, think about it, unless you by a lot of land and build the house yourself, you can't choose where your house goes. You certainly can't move directly onto a street or anyone else's property. When you are buying a house, the place, size, and even type, of house has been decided already. I think we should have that as an option...or designate housing areas and non-housing areas.

 

[Snowesque]

It's been mentioned, but I would like to have control over aspects of the town such as paths and where developments are put.
We're able to do this now, but it's very inconvenient in how it's done.
I don't think we'll be the mayor again, but I think we'll still be able to control the town in an aspect.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I'd like to see the badges gone, for those of us that don't streetpass.

Less Japanese themed items as they seem to dominate everything, and I'm not a sushi fan.

Either get rid of balloons, or put something decent in them.

We have golden tools for each accomplishment.
How about a golden wetsuit, that allows you to stay underwater longer?

Badges won't go away as its a way to track accomplishments (but the StreetPass feature will be gone as switches arent set up with SP and only have a FC list)

Balloons will probably still contain normal balloon furniture until you collect the set (Like the WA update did with NL) but would want the balloon set to stop spawnuing for the character that has the set and give rare items (even rarer event items from other countries if the day is happening. Ex being bean day on february 3rd you'd get a balloon with throwing beans in it )

Since swimming was a new mechanic in NL im sure they'll either give something better or remove it (let's hope not)

What I Want In Animal Crossing Switch

For me, whenever I make a town in New Leaf, all of my new villagers want to move in right next to me and It can get annoying at times. Hopefully, in the new game, you can edit your town to your liking so stuff like this doesn't happen. When Rover asks you what your town looks like, it'll open up a town creator where you plan out what it looks like [including where the homes, shops, and townhall are.]

The decorating feature needs to get changed. I wish it could be like how Happy Home Designer does it. It would be much easier and a lot more fun and easy! X3

This third one is kinda a pet peeve but I wish there were more customization options. If you want to have curly hair, you can have that! Instead of answering a serious of questions, you can get a character editor like HHD. [As you can tell, most of my needs are in the customization category.]

Knowing me, I sound so picky but I would indeed enjoy it if these were added to the new game. Even if they weren't, I would still buy a Switch. [Due to that and Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Mariokart 8 deluxe, and Snipperclips .^.]

 

[RedTropicalPeachyFish]

I do absolutely want it to have a function/emotion to HUG visitors/villagers. Honestly.

 

[RoyalLeoKnight]

Honestly, I really would love to have the ability to have actual paths and walkways. I know the patterns exist, but having solid stone or brick paths would be absolutely amazing for town building!

More flowers is a MUST for me! I love the ones we have now, but there are so many different kinds in the world, and I'd love more! Pocket Camp has showed that there are so many different kinds to add, with things like Dahlias, Zinnias, and Sunflowers! I would LIVE to have the Irises added to AC Switch! Maybe even a few of the made up flowers could make it over, like the Heart Roses or Lollipoppies.

The strawberries from Pocket Camp also showed that fruits coming from plants/bushes vs. trees could absolutely work! I'd love a little garden patch of strawberries in the spring, or pumpkins in the fall!

More villagers would always be nice, with more species being added. I'd love to see a Leopard animal join, as well as a Coyote! Also, maybe a few more of existing animals that don't have a ton, like Lions or Bulls.

So much I would love to add, so I hope the creators have the same ideas on what could be added!

 

[Nintendofan]

More public works projects.
Bigger town size.
Ability to choose where villagers move so they don’t move in the middle of my paths.
What RoyalLeoWolf mentioned: actual paths.
More businesses for a higher chance of getting furniture.
More rooms in my house.
More houses.
More storage.
Keep the mayor status!!!!!!!! I’ll be mad if it doesn’t come back.
If they take away the mayor status than I wanna be able to run my own business against that(literal) racoon Tom Nook
More flowers
More villagers
More ordinances as well as the ability to have multiple ordinances in effect.
Did I mention MORE MORE MORE BIGGER BIGGER BIGGER?

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I want the tripping over to be gone.

I shouldn't be punished for adjusting the time for daylight savings..

 

[AlyssaAC]

I'm not sure if this counts as new or different, but I would love to see the ability to make star constellations to come back in the new game. I miss being able to do them with Celeste and if they would come back, maybe make it more able to make even bigger and better constellations and more variety of them. I wanna bring out my creative side again.

 

[GoldenKaraSus]

What if we get the option to choose the climate? For example, we could have rainy towns or windy or hot or towns that are so cold snowfall comes early. It doesn't rain enough in my town...I like the rain and snow.

Tripping is based on a system of luck for the day (and items that are in your room) you only trip if the luck is the worst on that day

But you aren't though? no one is punished for turning the system's clock forward or backward.

I've read it is also a consequence of time travel.

I tend to fall over the day after changing the time.

Default paths is one I'd really like.
Making paths with having to take into account if they look good or match with a season can be a pain.
Paths that actually change with the seasons would be fantastic.
Pieces that aren't just squares too would be great, as in you could make custom shapes.

Omg seasonal paths would be amazing! I'd totally jump at the opportunity to have that! I'd also love to have more shapes for paths! I have a path in my current New Leaf town that runs by a river, and the stones don't always flow well with the river's twists and turns.

I was thinking about this topic at work again, and got to thinking about public works projects. I'd love more of them, of course, but I was thinking about making these seasonal as well! The way I was thinking of implementing it was with a new concept: Outdoor Decorations!

Imagine it! Everyone decorates the outside of their house for holidays like Halloween or Christmas, so why not in AC? For example, decorating the outside of your house with something like lights or a wreath for Christmas, or little Jack-o-lanterns for Halloween. There could be so many different kinds of decorations, and cool ways to use them! What if you have a streetlight that does feel festive enough? Add a garland to adorn it! Maybe The Roost isn't just Fall-themed enough? Hang an autumn leaves wreath of the front door! It could also help with towns with themes, like a Christmas town!

 

[Snowesque]

RoyalLeoWolf
That sounds way fun, if only we could give NPCs the decorations and then they'd ask us to help decorate?
There's tons of room for potential in that.

Seconding this; one of the first things I thought of for what I'd want brought back.

 

[Don't_ask_Alice]

I would like to see more NPC interactions. Like how you can talk to sable and become closer friends learning about her past. K.K has always been such a mystery he would be so interesting to learn about.

I also hope they keep the amiibo feature. It was so cool and fun to invite characters from other games getting special furniture. Not to mention getting your dreamies in your town easier. Cycling through hundreds of villagers in the Hope's you get one you like is annoying.

I also want an easier system to move villagers out. In new leaf it was frustrating that you had to make your friendship high in the Hope's for a ping. Plus it makes the villagers you do love more likely to move out. Like I talk to you every day giving you gifts muffy. Why do you want to leave because in another town they throw dirt at eachother!?

 

[Becca617]

- I want to see bigger towns like dating back to the gamecube and city folk days. Ive always found wild world and new leaf towns too smallish for my liking and i want to have a lot of space like those games had.
- no buying of dlc please, if there's dlc only make it free like it was in new leaf
- give the villagers their backstory back as well as their personality and variety of dialogue like they were in gamecube and wild world!! i actually find it hard to play the newer games now because of the stale dialogue and personality in the villagers.
- more weather conditions like fog, frost, etc.
- shopping card bring back?
- i'd like if they brought back the hills on land like they had in gamecube and city folk, it gives the town more personality and makes the town bigger (like having two tier towns back or even three tier like gc)
- more memorable game soundtrack that new leaf seemed to lack
