What is your wish lists for Animal Crossing Switch?

[Sprinkles_penguin]

Hello Guys, here's my wishlist:

Bigger Town: ACNL town was a little bit smaller than the one in City Folk, so I would like a bigger town with more space for more villagers and more PWPS. Also, I'd like the town to have certain biomes and climates. For example, imagine your town had a colder climate than your friend's one, so in your town pine trees and tulips and other things could be more common, but in your friend's hotter town, tropical fruits and insects would be more common. That would make towns a little bit more distinguishable from the others, and therefore you would have a reason more to visit your friend's town.

Transport to other towns: Now, talking about travelling to another towns. We've seen trains, buses, gates, taxis and even boats but... What if in the next AC instead of travelling by ground, you actually travelled to other towns by air? Just imagine riding your own, customizable hot air balloon to your friend's town! And of course, our pilot could be Porter!

More PWPs: Before I say anything, PWPs were one of the best features of ACNL! It gives your town a more customizabled look, and therefore making the town look more yours! But imagine, having more options for PWP'S! I mean, they could have inspiration from real life monuments, such as the Eiffel Tower, The Big Ben, the Statue of Liberty or just sticking to small things, like soccer goals or little ponds. Also, I would appreciate an easier way to put PWPs, just like the menu in HHD, and also being able to turn them so, for example, you benches could look more naturally placed. Lastly, I would like the PWP's maximum to go up.

Holidays: One of my favorite things about the AC series is that they use a real life clock, so they days pass at the same rythm as they do in real life. Therefore, Halloween or Christmas are even more fun to play in because you fell in that time of the year. However, I'd like for example a holiday of the Independence Day! It could be connected to the country you live in ( for example in July 4th, the american towns would celebrate it with fireworks and all the villagers out celebrating) or, you could even create the Independence day of the town! Also, I would like some holidays to return, like the Cherry Blosom festival.

Actual Paths: New villagers moving into your beatiful paths is not funny. Al of that could end by being available to put paths as a PWP.

More Mayor Work Being mayor in ACNL was great, but what if you had even more chores to do? First, you would be the one selecting where new villagers would live. Also, you could do satisfaction polls around the town so the villagers could tell you which PWPs they would like!

Well guys, this is my wishlist. Sorry is some ideas seem a little farfetched, but dreaming is free. Also i watched a video about it and there I got may of the ideas i wrote here. Please check it and tell me what did you think!

I have quite a few ideas when it comes to Animal Crossing on the switch:

1) My first idea like many other people is being able to customise villagers houses and their appearance. The houses should be done HHD style because it would make for a more easy and efficient way to redecorate! When it comes to the villagers appearance I think you should be able to chose their outfit, accessories and hats!

2) The second idea would have to be bigger towns!!! Im not talking massively different because they will become very difficult to manage if they are too big. The towns should be bigger to allow more space for landscaping, more public work projects and just more space in general for us to design and explore.

3) The transfer of bells! I think that transferring bells is too difficult especially when you get into the millions! I think that within the post office you should have a transfer bell option which will allow you to transfer bells from your account to someone elses without having to withdraw it all the time! You would need to have the person as your friend obviously in order to transfer the money!

4) Inventory! I think our inventory is way too small, especially when you have all of the equipment in it! I think if they dont end up making the inventory bigger they should have a different tab or area for our tools to allow a bit of extra space within the inventory for other items.

5) Where villagers move in! I dont think we should just be able to chose where villagers move in because it will make it too easy so I think that there should be a system to getting them to move in in a certain place... not sure what yet exactly!

6) Graphics!! I dont think they should have the game the same graphics as the ones in the mario kart track and think they should still keep it more cartoony looking instead of swaying to a more realistic side of graphics!

 

[Espurr]

all y'all goin' on about micromanaging villager aesthetics and graphic design

and i'm still struggling with the pros and cons of amiibo move-ins

 

[Stackhouse]

Smaller town.
Less villagers.
Online activity optional.

 

[Mink777]

Disable amiibo move-ins.

 

[Aaren]

I'd love to see this kind of things:

- More variations to the weather. Wind or thicker fog, for example. Or storms. Ahh.
- It would be awesome too if nights were darker and you and the other villagers could use some kind of light source to see little better your surroundings. Not sure if that's too far from Animal Crossing style though. But I would love it.
- More details in grass. Like it has actual grass here and there, but they wouldn't affect the perfect town status like weeds do.
- More variations to the ocean waves.
- Adding more windows to your house.


... So yeah mostly I'm just hoping they would improve weather. I'm pretty happy with the gameplay.

 

[projectx1991]

I'd love to see the following:

? A visually richer world:
- Shadows from trees/buildings/animals etc
- Trees that sway in the wind, leaves that fall.
- No more flat textures
- Reflective Water

? A bigger village

- I'd love for us to have more of a town than a village - the switch is capable of it.
- High villager resident limit.

? Weather

- I echo what others have said here - wind, fog etc.

? Jobs

- I'd love more options for jobs so that we can keep ourselves occupied.

? Shops/Main Street

- I'd get rid of the main street and focus on everything being inside your town. I feel like we need more shops and stores - a beach hut, an re-worked Nook store, a new hardware store, gardening shop, cafe etc....

? Other

- The return of balls, aerobics and other lost features from the original.

i desperately want amiibo card support (please god i want the sanrio villagers) and the ability to send letters to my friends without having to be in their towns! the letter thing is very small and unlikely but i love sending my friends gifts with cute paper (or just funnies) and it'd be awesome if i could do that from my own town _ 」∠)_ unwanted letters wouldn't be a problem cuz assuming they use the best friend system again they could make it so only best friends can send each other letters!

i just really want there to a new feature in the post office where you can transfer bells/items to other player's towns. giving bells to people is way harder than it should be tbh. i do kinda hope that they don't push the new game towards being very online-oriented (as in, they push you to interact with players and stuff more than in ac:nl), but with their new paid service, it seems pretty likely. y'know, because nintendo's so poor, they just really need that extra money! *sweats nervously and tries to ignore Nintendo laughing evilly as they count the millions they've made off of pocket camp's fortune cookies*

also i hadn't thought of it before but what kiwi said above^^^

 

[SilkSpectre]

For sure more customizations, storyline/quests, and more rewards.

Well I think New Leaf is a swan song for the series as it is (in terms of mechanics, convenience and customization but not in presentation or writing), so my vision of SwitchCrossing would be a souped up NL with animal writing and interaction closer to that in GC and WW. A bit like the relationship between Smash Ultimate and Sm4sh*.

The Town and Control Over It
-Agree with the people who want tiered towns with explicit acres on the map. GC is just fun to walk around in, and easier to get perfect town deliberately without relying on the Beautiful initiative.
-Return of signposts so we don't have to have constant anxiety about villagers moving on our paths. I think understanding your layout immediately overweighs the possibility of unattractive setups.
-I don't personally like the main street but I understand how it's a boon for the town design superenthusiasts.
-I want to be able to place furniture outdoors, like in HHD! The tricky thing is how to keep outdoor furniture and public works distinctive enough, which still seems easy enough (I'd just downgrade most of the smaller ones to furniture and make public works for oversized pieces, building redesigns and new services)
-I'd like to see path patterns as a legit option in Able Sisters; path patterns made through AS would have a seperate inventory to your other patterns
-I'm leaning towards making things easier for customizers but I'd have the Amiibo card RVs not return (or at the very least not be any more powerful than tent campers). It's uncomfortably tone ruining to have as an official mechanic in the same way the newer Pokemon games encouraging competitive breeding is.
-On the other hand the way you treat villagers NEEDS to matter more for the purposes of moving. Get rid of the system where villagers of a personality type are more likely to move if that personality type is represented by others - even casual players would appreciate this.

Special Characters and Holidays
-Mayor should be able to control the weekly special characters to an extent, it's awkward they don't. Don't know whether banning a limited number of them or being able to request one the next day would be better (flavor versus convenience)
-Restoring the backstory arcs for Sable, Nook, Blathers etc is literally necessary. I remember most of them were obscure due to being date specific (?), so they should be unlocked through obvious milestones like "bells spent at Nook's"
-KK backstory arc is literally necessary, milestone being number of songs he's played
-Isabelle arc would be nice too, what milestone should it have?
-Resetti being optional felt very cheap
-With Wisp losing the weed pulling use he had in GC, could it be taken up by Leif as a relatively expensive service you can ask for any time? Would give him something to be memorable and lower the stress to returning players.

Controls / Other
-Happy Home Designer controls for moving furniture at the start

*Note that no comparison to Smash Ultimate can be made unless EVERYONE IS HERE! Welcome Amiibo felt like a proof of concept that they could finally handle this : D

 

[tsukune_713]

why would you want less?
and online has always been optional and im sure itll stay that way

 

[Flare]

Would like if the New Leaf QR Codes would still be usable.

Oh yeah I personally like the friendship level up system in Pocket Camp so it would be nice for something similar to exist as well.

 

[cornimer]

I want them to bring back Gamecube/WW personalities. They were so much more interesting and added charm to the games.

Also morning aerobics

 

[Dormire]

HALF
TILE
PLACEMENT

HHD STYLE OF ARRANGING HOMES
also more villager personalities and species please!

 

[Tri]

Adding more to my list:
-Skin customization when character is made!!! Maybe they could do it like the Sun/Moon opening and outright present you skin and eye choices in the vein of a passport image (I thought that was so cute!)
-I'm not keen on more villager species when we have so many underutilized, but I would like to see more variant models (lop eared rabbits, terrier dogs etc)
-the villager models redrawn in general. There are many designs that feel like holdovers from the lower polygon era.
-Since everyone of my NL villagers complain there's no events, I'd like to see the miscellanious town events from Wild World again (the flea market, Yay Day, town tune contest...)
-Speaking of the holidays connecting to town better, it would be cute if a rabbit villager could take Zipper's role if you have one (since it's implied to be a gig for him too).
-Maybe sacremonious but...I'd like to see the holiday furniture sets replaced with new ones. They don't feel as rewarding when I've owned them over so many games.
-Since this wasn't a given for City Folk...new hourly music

Because 10 is too many for my liking.
That's my personal feeling on this.

It shouldn't affect anyone else.

 

[Rabirin]

I just want special NPCS to play a more active role in the game again. A lot of the NPCS are either doing something different entirely or they?re doing the same thing but what they?ve been known for has become completely redundant. Or you rarely see them unless certain conditions are met. Which makes sense, but I miss the days when you?d find Pascal musing on the beach about some deep stuff before he?d jump into the water and swim away. Or for NPCS like Jingle. Once you get his set, he?s basically redundant. It?s not like it?s hard to achieve either, because it?s readily available in Timmy & Tommy?s. I just miss when things actually felt like an achievement, and it wasn?t just handed to you. Same as Saharah. I liked when I had to actually work for things. I also hope the town has two layers again, like city folk. It made the village feel that more huge, and it?d be perfect especially as we have a limit of 10 villagers and PWPS now. Since it does get quite crowded in ACNL when you have 10 villagers + pwps.

it doesnt affect me at all, just was curious the reason why from your point of view for wanting those, in my opinion i think larger towns with the chance of more villagers but you can set the limit would be better ie for example there could be a max of 15 but you set it so no more than 8 can live there or something like that

Setting a limit is what I meant.

I'd have more room for projects and landscaping.

That's what interests me.

- Constellation designing to return!

The constellation thing should definitely return. I personally didn't use it much, but I think it'd be great to have Celeste go back to her passion. She can juggle managing the museum shop and stargazing. Like, she can be snoozing in the shop during the day, and then after a certain time, she'll appear in her conservatory and you can just go up an extra flight of stairs to find her.
