Will you be getting it?

It is my hope and intention to do so, yes. Animal Crossing was one of the reasons I decided to get the Switch, alongside Fire Emblem, Pok?mon, and Super Smash Bros. With the disappointing news of Pok?mon Sword & Shield not allowing you to transfer in and use every single Pok?mon killing most of my interest in those games, and since Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate have both already released and I've been enjoying them, Animal Crossing is my next and biggest target of interest. Hopefully they don't make any big, troubling decisions that could negatively impact my interest like Game Freak did with Pok?mon.

I got a switch as a gift for my little brother, but in truth as also a gift for my mom. She loves Animal Crossing, but doesn't really follow any gaming news, so to her it'll still be a big surprise.
this summer, I bought a switch on sale just to have ACNH at midnight, I will buy the digital game since I have 40 euro in eshop ^^ but I will buy the collector edition as well (hope we will have one). I am so excited and I can't wait

If I didn't already have and love New Leaf, I would consider it. But it looks like New Horizon's not doing anything really different enough from New Leaf to make it seem worth it to me, personally. I'm sure it will be an excellent game, like New Leaf. But I didn't see anything in the information they've released that made me feel like I needed it. Maybe they'll surprise me and reveal something really new later. But from what I've seen, it's just New Leaf again with a few very small differences.
And I already have a Switch, so that's not the issue for me, personally. I saw that some of the other people saying that they weren't going to buy it said it was because they didn't have a Switch yet. So, that's not the case for me.
I'd be willing to listen to explanations as to how New Horizons is more different from New Leaf than I think, though, if anyone has anything to say about it. But the big thing that I noticed is that you can have eight people playing at once instead of four... I'm lucky if I have even one other person to play with, so that doesn't affect me at all. ^o^;>
Plus, you have to pay for the online functions on the Switch, whereas they're free on the 3DS. That's a big deterrent to me.

I voted no until other means to save (SD card) become available.
I'm not investing a large sum of my hard earned bucks on something that could be wiped out at any given moment.
I hope the petition about cloud save will help us, I am pretty sure I will spend hundred (surely thousand) hours in ACNH and I don't want to loose my progress because of my switch.

I'm curious about all the people saying that the Switch not being able to back up saves is a problem. Did none of the people saying that play any past Animal Crossing game? I think that save data has always been unable to be backed up. If not, then I really missed something when I was playing New Leaf for the last six years. ^o^;>

NL saved to the cart.
Consoles are more likely to break than a physical copy of the game.

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining.
while this is true, it's rare that people are actually gonna break their switch. so its not a huge problem but its something that is obviously a negative to the release of the game.
and if worse comes to worse and your console does break, i would suggest getting a save manager through soft hacking beforehand so you can protect your data

I'm on my 4th 3DS in 5 years, and that's not me neglecting them.
I shouldn't have to hack a console to allow me to do what I alreay should be able to do.
i mean.. ive had my one ds for 8 years and its still working perfectly. plus, you're buying nintendos product so you have to work with their rules

Well, if nintendo don't change their rules and start offering other means to save game data, then they will ultimately lose customers.
Nintendo need to meet us half way, since some of us have literally spent thousands on their products over the decades.
This isn't even a debate. It's a real issue.
I hate that I won't be able to play a game I've loved for well over a decade, because I won't risk losing my data.
This makes the Switch a hugely expensive disposable console.
You can't even play the game on a different Switch. I can't fathom how screwed up that is.
If that is nintendo's rules, then I won't be buying any more of their products.
I'm certain I'm not the only person on the planet to feel this way. Put enough of us together, and we'll definately make a dent in their profits.
i guess so.. but i really don't think that many people will refuse to play animal crossing just because they can't save their data to the cloud. there isn't always going to be a safety option with whatever you do...

I have no interest in cloud saving. I want to be able to save to the SD card.
There are many others out there, just google the subject.
