Wishful ideas for Animal Crossing NH Thread

[Mu~]

Besides what people already mentioned, I need a bigger island. Maybe 8x8 tiles. I'd be happy with that. I'm having problems with my villagers' yards and pumpkin patch.
Also all the decoration options from HHD.

Not sure if mentioned, but my biggest biggest biggest wish would be to add the option to listen to music from previous games...even better pick and choose which games are for each hour.

This is probably never going to happen and I may resort to other things to get the old music back so I can enjoy the game more lol

I don't know about picking music for each hour, but some games that Nintendo have re-made did allow music options for the older music of the game. Maybe they would consider something like that for animal crossing by having it on a special boom box, or in the options menu, or just as added tracks with the new ones.

Oh I didn't know that, most Nintendo games I've played don't have that option. AC has never even had the option to adjust or turn the music off, so it's not something that seems likely.

I am grateful for Nintendo giving us expanded storage last time!

However, I am a greedy hoarder. Can we have unlimited storage space please?

They should let resources stack to 90-99 in storage

A bunch of these are great ideas!!! I wish Nintendo paid a little bit more attention to player feedback... I think it's a little bit sad that we all want to see the return of something present in other AC tittles. As a model collector and fossils fan it HURTS that they forgot about the dinasours models, I miss them so much I hope they make a comback with the giroids.

I think it would be kinda fun to have mitten options. or have a few coats with mittens as part of it.

 

[xhyloh]

i really hope they add more design slots... and maybe an option to customize villager homes!

I want a castle. A palace would also be a nice option. Also taller fences and fence customization. More arches, including a cast iron New Orleans-looking one (to match the iron garden benches etc). A gazebo that you can go in. Also, more styles of house furniture. And more house exterior options, like the Asian style house shape and roofing that some villagers have.

Being able to go into the bath tubs, swim in rivers, get into the pumpkin carriage, ride the teacup ride, etc. Also more amusement park rides like a ferris wheel.

If we could dream big, I think it would be neat to be able to build our own houses rather than just decorating them. Then we could make castles.

My wishful dream is to have flower recipes for the Jacob's Ladder flowers. Let you get a new DIY bundle from Isabelle after having your town at 5 stars for 30 days.

The big dream would to have a full set of furniture including a whole house set, wallpaper, flooring, carpet, flower crown, dress, hat, shoes, pochette, as well as a flower wreath and garden wagon.

Actually, I would love that for all the flowers! Along with special fencing, trellises, and arches. Just let me craft even more things with flowers.

There are some really fantastic ideas in this thread. I would've been so happy if this game were ACNL+ ceiling and window items from HHD + items from Pocket Camp with the new features of outdoor decorating, plot placements and no random move outs.

You know, I'll take an unpopular position on this and argue that I think they've been better than expected on player feedback. A lot of the huge changes that have showed up in the past year were technical things like Island backups, Save Data Exchange, Dreaming, and the App Catalog. Especially island backups and Save Data Exchange, these were things we originally thought weren't going to make it to the game and were added later on. I can only imagine that this was a ton of work to put together.

Some might say that that stuff should have made it in at release, and I'd probably agree with that. But I still remember how worried I was in June about the possibility that my island might get corrupted and disappear forever. A LOT of people had those worries, and now that's a thing of the past.

I only hope that since some of these technical changes are behind them, they can focus on content like shops, minigames, and other things to keep people engaged with their Island for many more years. New Horizons really has potential to be a flagship game for the series that be kept alive for a very long time, sort of how Rockstar keeps GTA5 alive with updates and changes.

Regardless of whether dreaming should have been in the release, I think dreaming was planned long before release. I believe it had nothing to do with player feedback.

I hope there isn’t a thread like this already. Sorry if there is!

Also, any ideas are welcome. It doesn’t have to be something that fits in with past games. It also doesn’t have to be something realistic. Just something you wish would happen. I personally don’t think any of my ideas will make it into the game, but it‘s nice to daydream.

For me, I wish there was a city or something that we could visit that had different shops. ReTail could be located here, along with Gracie‘s, The Marquee/Club Lol, and whatever else. And perhaps Leif, Kicks, and Labelle could have their own shops again that they run whenever they aren‘t visiting your island. These shops could carry exclusive items you can only buy here.

Instead of being a flea market, ReTail could sell exclusive furniture that Nook’s Cranny doesn’t have. Perhaps old furniture sets/items could be sold here? And like the other NPCS, Reese and Cyrus could occasionally stop by your island selling furniture. And maybe Cyrus could do special customization on items that would otherwise be impossible, such as fences.

I was also thinking the pelicans could return with their own shop. I don’t think they will ever add the post office back into the game, but maybe they could do something else. I was thinking maybe they could run some sort of exchange program where you can go to trade items online with people, similar to the market box in Pocket Camp. So you could put items up for sale, and anyone could buy them without having to share codes and meet up. Any items you buy will be sent to you through the mail by Pete. I’m not too sure about this one tbh but maybe this would work?

I would also really like Kapp’n and the minigames back.

Those are just a few basic ideas that I have. They aren’t perfect and could probably be fixed, but that’s just the basic idea behind it. Like I said earlier, I (sadly) doubt they will ever add things like this to the game, but it would be nice.

i wish there was an option for the houses/shops to be placed sideways. all of them are front facing, which i understand, but being able to rotate them would add some variety

the town plaza tree in new leaf was a pretty cute touch, it was nice to see the tree grow the longer you continued playing. it would be cool if a similar thing is implemented into new horizons

There are a few threads like this, but I'll answer anyway.

Bring back every single item and feature from NL.

Oops! I kind of figured there probably were, but I missed them ^^”

I also wish all the items and features from NL would come back. It’s a shame they even removed them in the first place, especially since there wasn’t anything wrong with it. I get they wanted to do something different, but at the very least you would think they could have added in all the old furniture.

I think they didn't add those hundreds of items because it would have made NH a great game, and they didn't want it to be that great that Pocket Camp players might abandon the real cash cow, for NH, so we were left with this empty shell of a game, that will never reach it's full potential.

A real shame.

One thing that could be very cool in a game where we collect/hoard tons of items is this

They could have seasonal gachapons too, so you could collect different sets.

 

[CyrusMoonside]

I would like the ability to change your island name, see Gracie appear on the island to sell her products, and maybe bring back the van camper from New Leaf where the special and holiday characters visit, but just as regular campers.
