Will welcome amiibo villagers be in the game?

[returnofsaturn]

Now, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes lol but will they be accessible only through scanning their amiibos or will they move in naturally? What do you think? I'm not sure if we've seen any in the promos yet.

We have seen Piper and Harvey from WA. So I don't see why they wouldn't be in the game.

Many have also been in Pocket Camp.

I think they'll bring everyone back so it fills the list out because if a villager comes back after moving to your town ages ago, it feels a little unrealistic. I feel like some species don't fill as many slots in the game as others... I think the Welcome Amiibo cards were a teaser to show us look fans, we CAN bring them back into the game.
I don't think we should need an Amiibo to get them in the game though, Sanrio, Zelda and Splatoon - yep, needing an Amiibo fine because they're special but not for villagers who already should be in the game.
I'm still upset I need a card for Huck in NL! He's part of AC!
I need them from どうぶつの森ｅ+ too! Please Nintendo a don't make them unobtainable! ヽ(१﹏१；)))

Also I'd like to add, sorry if my post seems passionate! I know you didn't mention about paying for cards, I went off on a tangent (.;ﾟ;:益:;ﾟ;.)
I'm hoping Nintedo give us a fleshed out
villager experience! L(;?༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

Another edit is to say what I wrote looks like I'm angry? Sorry if looks that way...
I'm just hoping against hope they don't push Amiibo for existing characters.
I love getting my dreamies and when I save I can start collecting them because I'd like to.
I don't like it when a company pushes their agenda on me, which is why I walked away from
The Sims 4. That's just horrible... Argh I went off on another tangent! Sorry!!! (*??̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥﹏?̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ )

*Phew* (✌︎?罒`✌︎)
haha thankies! ♡♡♡ Yay I'm so glad! I was having a complete brain fart whilst writing that and just couldn't communicate effectively ( › ?̮ ‹ ) I hope they give us a direct soon! Since they're going with the number [2] I was thinking we'll probably get some info on the 20th Jan and 2nd of Feb... Could be wrong though (•́ ॣ?̫ ॣ•̀,)՞

Well, if they decide to bring back all the villagers from AC:GC (which i'm kinda hoping they'll do, but i'm not holding my breath), they'll have to finish making the cards to complete the collection if that is done (and this isn't the first time AC has done this, it was japan exclusive, but Animal Forest e+ made it so that you could do just that in WA, but it invited them to the empty island, instead of a campground. (you could say the island was the original Campground for AFe+ ;D)

To quote a snippet from the wiki:

"In Animal Forest e+, the island is now a debt. The player can access it before they pay it off, however. After paying off the 2nd floor and speaking to Tom Nook, he will offer the player the island who will then name it. Then, the island can be accessed by speaking to Kapp'n. In addition, each player in town can have their own island. There are no islanders on the island until the player chooses some by going to the Wishing Well, and scanning the islander’s e-card."

So, the long and short of it, I wouldn't worry too much about them being locked behind cards... just think of NL and how they did it with the pre-existing animals, and it was just the quicker way of cycling through your villagers so you could get the one that moved away suddenly (I'm just trying to be Optimistic here)

Don't worry, you didn't seem angry at all

Spoiler

(Also, before I end this, its just a small question, heck you don't even have to answer it right away, but how has TS4 pushed their agenda on you? the maxis team seems to be pretty interested in giving people what they want via community votes on packs, or is it the company of EA? Because EA is just a publisher...)

Ooo! Thankies for the info! The only problem was that I tried to cycle the campsite because I thought Huck had been put into the game but it was only when you scan an Amiibo,
I'd never get him without the card ｡:+((*′艸`))+:｡
I was ok with the Sanrio, I bought those straight away...
So I'm hoping regular villagers that they'll appear in the game but I can also hold their cards because I like them too (◍︎˃̶ᗜ˂̶◍︎)✩︎
I have some of my dreamies atm...

Spoiler: TS4

Ah, TS4 （ ᵕｪᵕ̩̩ ）well they aren't really pushing their agenda on me unless I buy the game but they had nothing in the game.
They put them into little expansions and you have to pay for content that was once the base game standard.
I've played from TS1 and they all came with pools, I was so excited for it in 2014 and was on the forum just like now!
We were all disappointed for what happened, I cancelled my pre-order and was devastated.
I decided to stick with TS3 and downloaded mods and CC to change things up.
So what I should say, is that they completely ruined a game that could've been so beautiful if they hadn't have tried to make it online and then scrap that and shove out a rushed and unfinished game.
I know there are many who enjoy it, and that's amazing that they can find joy in that game but what EA is doing is wrong! I think whoever was behind the mistake (usually the higher-ups) is to blame but like I said it's charging for base game content and allowing a game that was rushed and unfinished to be released. They should've just been honest and asked for more time. They did push the date back a year if I remember correctly? But that was only to produce something that was incomplete.
No one should have to pay for content that it should've come with. It's so sad... (৹ᵒ̴̶̷᷄﹏ᵒ̴̶̷᷅৹)
I don't like them being highlighted either when you hover on the Sim... I saw that in a video, I checked in recently to see if there were any improvements but it just gets worse. I can't believe people have had to pay so much... But this is my opinion that I share with others and mean no disrespect to anyone who enjoys the game *:ஐ(●︎˘͈ ᵕ˘͈)人(˘͈ᵕ ˘͈●︎)ஐ:*

 

[Neechan]

Yeah it does suck that its the way they did it, but i guess it was a way to show off the RV site.

Spoiler

I completely understand, its why i didn't purchase it until 3 years later (i want to help the developers), and if i recall the 'outline' can be disabled and that was added in '14 called a "-nohovereffects" command,. wile i like TS4, Its number 2 in the series as TS2 is my favorite of all in TS's series

That's true! The only problem with the RV's in NL is that unless you have a card, only NPC's stay on the grounds... Hope more can fit in NH ?٩(*? ꒳ `*)۶?

Spoiler

Ah I see! That gives me peace of mind, I don't know why but the thought of that gave me anxiety (((;՞;ٹ՞'));
I was originally going to see how it played out but gave up... I'm hoping TS5 will be amazing but
I'm not holding my breath (◍︎˃̶ᗜ˂̶◍︎)✩︎
TS2 was also my favourite as I have great memories with all the Alien families! It was just so charming! Although, I did like what they did with TS3 and the Future and Lunar Lakes etc... (•́ ॣ?̫ ॣ•̀,)՞

I'm pretty sure we'll get more as the cart sizes are pretty hefty, here's hoping!

Spoiler

I really don't think TS5 will be coming out anytime soon as i recall reading that they will continue working on TS4 for the next few years (and they say not to use previous releases as a point)

I remember hearing that the reason TS4 was so lackluster in 2014 is that in the beginning it was supposed to be an online game, a really odd choice for a sandbox game as you can run into SO many problems...like routing issues and the like. obviously you can't design a game where you are god and expect it to work without issues, it needs to be made for it (like mario/link, basically any character that you control with the keyboard/control stick) you could say maxis was a bit too ambitious back then ;o.o

Yes! I'm sure if enough of us hope, our brainwaves will reinforce our wish! *:ஐ(●︎˘͈ ᵕ˘͈)人(˘͈ᵕ ˘͈●︎)ஐ:*

Spoiler

Yes, at least they can learn from the development of TS4 and yeah, I was expecting a release date for 2020 of TS5 but they're still making money from TS4 so not much point releasing something new yet. I'll be interested in the future development but at least there are so many games they can draw inspiration from - including the TS-TS2-TS3. No doubt they will have some competition in the future though... I wish to see them release something so epic, it'll make us instantly favourite the game! ( ✧︎Д✧︎) ｷﾗｰﾝ
