Will you be getting it?

[Jason Voorhees]

over 36 million switch consoles have been sold so thousands won't matter to nintendo
i know you aren't the only animal crossing who won't buy a new switch because of the *limited* saving options, but you are one of the very small minority. im not gonna say anything else because its silly to argue if you refuse to reason but we just have to go with what nintendo gives us. if you don't like it, don't buy it; you're free to do so.

That's all I've been trying to say, is to let those of us with valid reasons to not buy this until changes are made, be able to post without having to constantly defend those reasons.

Anyway, I am still holding out hope for reasonable saving options.

I like how you said 'limited' saving options.
There is only one. The console itself. LOL

 

[Gemini Oxymore]

I'm waiting it for too long. I'll be sick the day of its release I think lol. University bye bye !

 

[moonbyu]

i'm getting a switch just so i can play it!

Nintendo can profit more by adding other means to save. They aren't just hurting fans, they are hurting themselves.

If nintendo don't start bending, they will lose customers.

No they won't.

For the vast majority of Switch owners and those will be purchasing the game, the lack of cloud will not affect them. Same goes for those whining about the Pokedex in Sword and Shield and how they are claiming that it's going to hurt sales; It won't. Both Pok?mon and Animal Crossing are going to sell 10m+ easily because the general audience isn't going to care one way or the other, as it's only hardcore that are going to care about certain omissions enough that it would have an effect on their purchase decision, and let me tell you: Despite the loudness of their voices, there are very few doing the screaming.

Nintendo knows this. Game Freak knows. The loss is negligible in relation the outcome.

I am one of those individuals whom will be depositing 5+ years of my life into this game, cloud saves or no.

Because it's a video game, and as far as things that ultimately do matter in life, it's absolutely nothing in comparison.

I believe they will, lose customers.
I played Pokemon, and because the new game doesn't appeal to me, I will no longer be playing. That's a customer lost.

I can't be the only one.

As far as what matters in life the most, that is up to the individual. Not you.

What each of us who play AC takes away from it, is personal.
I play it therapeutically, and that is important; to me..

I'm talking about Sword & Shield.
It has put me off the entire series.

I still play Ultra Sun, but that's where it ends.

but they haven’t even come out yet. i’m so confused about this

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Why does it matter?

I don't like anything I've seen in Sword & Shield and many people feel it is graphically inferior.

On the topic of New Horizons as I've said several times, I am waiting to see the final product before deciding.

 

[Buttonsy]

If I can afford a Switch in the near future, then yes.

It's your life, man, but for your own sake, if you feel you need therapy and are resorting to a video game for help, let someone in your life know. There is no substitute for actual therapy from a trained professional.

While this is off-topic, c'mon. Sword and Shield is the best the series has ever looked. What exactly is it inferior to, and don't say the 3DS games.

Playing therapeutically doesn't mean that person is in need of therapy.

One meaning of therapeutic is "having a good effect on the body or mind".

There is no need to be aggressive here.

This is a message board where people will post opinions that differ from your own, and they should be able to post without constantly having those opinions belittled.

This goes for your opinion on Sword and Shield.

It is your opinion.
Not the only opinion, and certainly not carved in stone.

I am a much older player and must make allowances for much younger posters who sometimes see things one way only. Their own way.

this is belittling in itself, and honestly any reader could see that your tone was short and slightly aggressive first
but im going to unsub from this thread because i really wouldn't like to get into any argument or be mean

It wasn't belittling at all.
I was avoiding aggression and trying to post peacefully.


I am attempting to post on the forum, with other people who enjoy the game.
Yet it was suggested that I 'seek help' for posting that I play the game therapeutically.

I have posted nothing to offend anyone, nor would I do so. I am only asking for the same courtesy.

 

[LunarMako]

I NEED to get a Nintendo Switch. I plan on getting the lite as it's less expensive and all I need is one for handheld games and most of my friends don't play a switch. I get paid three times in November, so that is a great time to buy one. Christmas is also coming up, so I should be smart and save. But I will probably get the switch next month. With Luigi's Mansion 3 to start. I need some bad influences to tell me this is a good idea. LOL

 

[Celinalia]

I already pre-ordered it because I'm so hyped for it lmao

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I've decided to get it, reguardless of the downsides.

I will wait and see if there's an AC themed switch first.

 

[niko2]

Yup, and I will buy a Switch just for Animal Crossing! I still have to decide if a classic Switch or a Switch Lite, but I think a Lite because I'd like to bring it with me while travelling.

 

[Galatea]

Yes I already have a switch so i'm playing my other games while I wait. I'm not going to purchase it tho until closer to release date.

 

[MeganPenguin]

I'm definitely buying it! I already have a switch and I'm super excited already. Though, I'm not allowed it until after my gcses. Just so I don't get distracted. Which sucks...
