What? Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Which console(s)? Nintendo Switch
When does it release? March 20th 2020
Can we play it online? Why yes of course we can
So what is this Animal Crossing game you're talking about?
Animal Crossing has been one of the more important Nintendo IP's ever since they started the series. Animal Crossing is basically a life simulator with cute animals and a huge debt you owe to a business raccoon. Better known as the infamous Tom Nook. In this new edition of Animal Crossing we go to a deserted island. We get the chance to pick an island lay-out to our liking and Tom Nook will facilitate a tent for us to sleep in. Besides that two villagers will accompany you on the island from the start. From here on out we just start slowly building our new little society.
Animal Crossing works with the real time clock of your Nintendo Switch. Besides that the game allows you to select in which part of the world you live. This way the game will always be on the same cycle as we the players are in real life. So if you're living in Australia it will be winter in your game while for European players it will be summer in their game. It also means that if the shops close at let's say 8pm, you won't be able to do some shopping anymore after 8pm in your real life. That basically means the game will keep changing and especially the first 365 days of playing we will keep seeing new things. For the first time ever Nintendo is delivering the holiday events as DLC (for free). This will mean with a bit of luck that they can do something different each year and no holiday will be the exact same as last year. This also means there's a possiblity of Nintendo adding new villagers and items over the game's lifespan. Nothing of that nature is confirmed yet, but these are exciting times for Animal Crossing fans nonetheless.
Much like in older games it's still a goal to keep expanding your house and being in debt to Tom Nook to do so. We still have a museum to fill with fish and bugs. And we still will want to keep playing to get new shops or have older shops expanding so we can buy more stuff to decorate our houses with. Two of the biggest new improvements to all this are the options to terraform your island next to placing furniture outside. With the first one it's possible to create waterfalls, dig new rivers or build ridges to change the island as you see fit. And it will finally incorporate proper path management. Placing furniture outside will finally allow you to actually give a personal touch to your island. From the footage we've seen so far the possibilities look endless. Next to those new options we can also finally craft stuff in Animal Crossing. Cutting down trees will give us some logs and other raw materials. By collecting DIY recepies we can now craft all kinds of tools and furniture with those raw materials. Pretty exciting if you ask me.

So I thought it was time to just launch a thread for this game. Long time players are probably familiar with the art of turnip trading. Besides that there are many other (mostly bell related) reasons to be wanting to visit each other's islands in the coming months and years. So this would be the central place to share friend codes, keep us updated about turnip prices and all other things Animal Crossing related. As it's a brand new game I'm sure we'll stumble on many new things in the first few months that will make our island life easier as time passes by.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostKind of tempted to get this, never played a AC game.same. will be on my radar when the switch pro/2 drops
For the time being (april 6th) I'm working from home. So during that time I can start adding friend codes to the OP and keep it up to date for some time. So yeah, drop your friend code in the thread if you're in for the multiplayer side of the game and I'll add it to the OP.
Dutch retailer Gamemania will start selling Animal Crossing tomorrow because they close their shops on thursday. So everyone who made a reservation for their physical stores can pick up the game tomorrow. Strangly enough they allow new people to put in a pre-order. People who ordered it online will get it shipped to their home address on thursday the latest.
So I guess we're gonna have a lot of folks out there starting one or two days early. Got it preloaded on my Switch so I won't be one of them.

Can't wait to forget about potential debt or actual money issues and instead worry about paying off my bell debt to the bastard Tom Nook.
By /sy Go To Postcan you have the camera zoom out or even position in behind ur character?out yes, behind no.
That top down view looks more intriguing to me.
Zero interest rate tho.

Day 1 update is available for those who have bought the game digitally. Hit the '+' mark while sitting on the Animal Crossing icon in your homescreen to look for online updates.
Anyone set on their island name yet? I still don't have a single clue which way to go. When New Leaf came out it was amidst the Game of Thrones hype so I went with Westeros. Don't want anything that tacky anymore.

That's why i couldn't go for Swagtopia69 and had to settle for Swagcity69.
I'm at work whole day, for some reason our shop is still open. But I got my house because I played quite some hours into the night. Island is called Meeseeks. Will add the new friend numbers to the OP.

I am really enjoying this. I suck at naming things so I gave my island the name of the actual island I live.
It's kind of the perfect game for this days, very relaxing.

By Laboured Go To PostThis is my first ever AC game and, uh, yeah I totally get it.Haven't played one since the DS days and forgot the OCD kicking in to keep the place free from weed.
By /sy Go To Post🙃
I feel exposed
My daughter is playing the same island and it's not great. Getting in each others way and leaving nothing for the other to do.
I need another Switch..
.. And another copy of the game
