my wishlist:
-bigger map (like GC size) or one that just "feels" as big as GC (and city folk).
-rugs outside
-a dirt/grass path (like one that's a dirt path but overgrown)
-attached home patios? maybe for some houses and not others? maybe villagers could request it.
-being able to enter pool or bath items and villagers also
-villagers being roommates in town
-an arcade maybe with workable claw machines
-rollerblades sold by kicks that let u move a little faster
-artifacts kinda like stardew valley
-more favours for villagers to do and
often (and all of the old ones that were removed like bringing them a ball to kick, retrieving borrowed items from other villagers for them and they'd have you go from villager to villager (for things like gameboys, glasses, and random stuff), planting flowers outside their house for them, challenging you to a fish or bug catch-off, losing the key to their house and having you find it, relaying specific messages to other human players in town, petitions for signatures from villagers in Other towns, time capsules, fetching other villagers to bring to first villagers house, and treasure hunts). New ones would be appreciated too (like possibly getting them a coffee from the roost, grabbing a coffee with them, having villagers ask you to plant trees for them, having them ask you to place a specific furniture type outside of their house for them to use, villagers asking you to see KK with them, villagers asking you to relay messages to players (on switch bff list) from other towns, villagers asking you to tell other villagers they have a crush on them (peppies, lol), etc. Personality specific favours maybe?
This is one of my favourite features in the game. I hope they bring all of those back and add way more.
-celeste's observatory and being able to create constellations
-brewster having seasonal drinks and edible stuff
-leif's shop/a greenhouse
-enterable lighthouse again and lighthouse duty
-placeable and enterable buildings or items, that can be entered by villagers also (like reset surveillance center or lighthouse or treehouses or greenhouses or ufo's).
-fortune cookies
-randomly spawned in inclines like in previous games (that can be terraformed if so desired).
-villagers remembering other villagers who moved (fondly or otherwise) and mentioning them (when around their previous home location/at random).
-MULTIPLAYER GAMES AND THINGS TO DO (like kapp'ns island or a happy home design challenge thing or even like card games/word games-
anything nintendo, we beg of you) also those balloon hammers.
-ALL THE MISSING FRUIT (lychee, persimmon, mangoes, lemons, grapes, bananas, durians, and the perfect fruit!!!!!) AND MORE (strawberries, raspberries pineapples, plums, melons, starfruit, avocado, passionfruit, pomegranate, kiwi, yellow and green apples, limes, nuts, and bushes with harvestable berries)
-more veggies and all of the ones from new horizons (cauliflower, garlic, rice, corn, broccoli, spinach, beans). Maybe you can grow like giant melons and pumpkins.
-different kinds of native fruit (and native fruit trees growing randomly like flowers).
-lots and lots of
randomized island specific stuff (with more than 10 options if possible) such as native fruit, train station / airport colour, etc (But way more stuff like possibly plaza rocks colour, exterior/able sisters/post office/nooks, etc (-but imagine like instead of different colours its different exteriors like in new leaf or like brick,stone,wood,zen,corporate,etc. with different interiors too) . or specific landmarks (waterfalls/different random generated plants). also lots of it based off of dialogue like with Rover/Kapp'n/Timmy&Tommy. I loved this feature.
-take more inspiration from older games (& include classic things that haven't been removed until this game)
-water plants (tall & short)
-blowable dandelions and red turnips
-having to see Harriett to change hairstyle and colour (with a wide range of both)
-more trees to grow (with varying sizes)
-more fun unnecessary things (like the fireworks items) and having them trigger villagers to do stuff.
-bring back the train, taxi, and bus in unique fun ways and have them take you to different places.
-gold statue of your villager when house upgraded
-option to have 6 villagers up to 16 villagers.
-forest theme again or something like it (it was prettier imo)
-more personality variations like the sub-categories they added in new horizons (and dialogue, more options for villagers to ask you stuff and add the scroll bar to choose answer like in ww and nl)
-unlocking (cool) things by chatting with your villagers often.
-pelly & phyllis (and the post office), tortimer, pascal, blanca, lyle, lottie, gracie, katrina, joan, wendell, booker & copper, kicks, label, the balloon guy. All with bigger and more interesting and useful roles.
-not having to use our imaginations so much to enjoy the game.
-better community gathering spots (more out in the nature or beside a big tree) where festivities are held.
-more festivities (new ones &
old, removed, and fun unnecessary ones like yay-day, la-di-day, flower fest, spring cleaning, the fleamarket/re-tail, cherry-blossom festival, sports fair, and bright nights) to add more fun and emotional depth to the game.
-villager birthdays maybe outside (for more inclusion feeling hehe)
-wishing well from gamecube (and farley & serena with different important roles)
-tortimer visits town time to time (without a specific agenda to be remembered for like saharah just having wallpaper/carpets or the bug and fish guys, but just adding some random fun and maybe discussing island stats with you or something).
-reset surveillance centre (!!!!!) and resetti & don having
MEANINGFUL important and fun roles.
-villagers placing some furniture outside (beside their homes-and us being able to rearrange it ofc).
-feng shui unlocking something
-different prizes for HHA points alongside the trophies.
-KK playing at the train-station or in the roost.
-Gracie and her funky car
-Police station or somewhere new and enterable for the dogs to go lol.
-ROVER TRAIN SEQUENCE.
-PORTER OR CHAMP (both were missing from new horizons for some reason).
-campsite turning into igloo in winter time, villagers being able to camp out if they please maybe Harvey stays there also.
-more unnecessary dialogue with NPC's and being able to ask them how they are and have them give you backstory.
-STORE UPGRADES FOR
EVERY STORE INCLUDING THE POLICE STATION [equivalent] AND POST OFFICE.
-Options to decide where all of the shops will go instead of having a mainstreet or city (with customizable exteriors & interiors). And enough map space to do so.
-former villagers returning to visit (and remembering you, like on mainstreet in NL or city folk)
-donating to boondox (and villagers talking about it).
-multiple villagers being able to have a conversation at once (and rather frequently).
-villagers to be seen hanging out around town with other compatible villagers (like drinking coffee on a bench together and talking or walking together or chatting at the roost together (and watching kk play).
-Gulliver having a more interesting and fun role with more depth. Perhaps bring back the UFO? or something cooler.
-being able to slingshot more than presents, such as pete or ufo's or other floating items with unique purpose.
-more places to go such as the marquee or auction place (But new and different places like that) -> I appreciated in the marquee that there is that entering place where you purchase a ticket from the mysterious voice before you enter. It's the little things that make the game feel real and special to me.
-messages in bottles
examples of a couple things mentioned:
). The Green House can house any flower any time, and shrub.
