Good! Compared to how the internet was used in the past, we would have all this stuff spoiled within hours of release. I’m looking forward to just playing and enjoying the game, if I miss an event then so be it. It’s a game!
I just got a dispatch email from Nintendo UK. It says est delivery 20-23 March but I am a little amazed to see the email today... plus it better arrive Friday or I will cry 🤣🤣
I’ve just starting playing this and already think it’s fantastic. Hearing they are ex Disney and tell tale explains a lot. The humour is right up my street and just the tonic considering everything going on in the real world right now, really can’t wait to get properly stuck in.
Well I love it! They have done something new and different that marries the two worlds very nicely. Nice innovative approach, and I will be buying my nephews some!
Wow. So much negativity... personally, I have had mine since day one and feel like I am surprised time and again by what they are achieving. I have replaced one set of joy con and that’s it, no other issues. Their first party games for the most part of blown me away and the third party support is better than its ever been. Couldn’t care less about folder or themes, in fact I find the clean screen that greets me when I boot up is a plus. I would say my only real complaint would be the Eshop not being as user friendly as it could be but I find if I add games to wish list then that helps.
@DarkLloyd for the record they didn’t ban me from reading, just an example of the crazy, but yes you are right.
It’s a shocking statement I know, but the tiny humans we call children are fully capable of having their own thoughts and opinions, quite often they are far more rational and well thought out than those of some so called adults. When it comes to the big important topics I have to say I agree with my kids way more often than I agree with my parents, it’s just a shame they can’t vote and get a say in a lot of it. (They are only just too young to vote)
@Anti-Matter it never stops amazing me that people think that kids can be influenced in this way by games. It’s like my parents feeling they should have banned me from reading Lord of the Rings to prevent me from becoming an eleven queen 🤣
@Anti-Matter Christianity is always used as an excuse to justify a bad attitude towards people whose beliefs differ unfortunately.
Sadly everybody else can see the flaws in the argument, often laughably so when they talk about how caring they are while in the same breath saying how damaging it is for kids to be exposed to diverse clothing options 🙄. It was an attitude that used to make me feel angry, I try not to think too much about it now.
@neogyo that was exactly how I felt too. Happy they are playing together but yeh, a really sad depiction of how modern life means we miss out on the important things like friendship and community in reality.
This comments section has made me feel very sad indeed. Just feels like we really haven’t moved on very much in the last 20-30 years. I remember well the struggle my uncle had coming out as a gay man, and the joy I had seeing him finally be allowed to marry the man he’s spent 40 years with only a few years ago.
But reading here it shows there is SO much work still to be done. I mean really... comparing people feeling they are trans to wanting to be puppies?! Just how poor was your education? There’s no valid or sensible comparison in there at all.
Tell me what harm you come to because of the option in a game to wear or style your character as you wish. How is this harmful to kids? I mean REALLY!! Let kids be creative and have fun, how hard is it really to embrace diversity?
Sometimes I think society is taking a massive step backwards rather than forwards.
Wow it looks SO good. Starting to become really apparent now the amount of effort put into every detail; the weave on the rug in one of the pics, cute little jigsaw on the table, it all just looks so good!
Interesting watch. I have to admit, I find it seriously difficult to pick up on frame rate differences when watching the comparisons, which leaves it as something that doesn’t really influence my choices in terms of the graphics. I have toggled the settings to give me the picture I find most pleasing and couldn’t be happier or more impressed with this patch.
So much complaining! There has been so much chatter about what is and isn’t included in the game, lots of people getting upset by things that haven’t been confirmed and now people are upset that there’s a direct that should clarify the details?
As somebody who hasn’t played AC before I am looking forward to learning a little beforehand even if I do have to wait until after work to watch. 😩😂
Live in the UK now and having fun trying to play around with the settings to get the best out the graphics. If anybody has some tips that would be great 👍🏻
Haven’t been disappointed by any of their DLC yet, keeps the game fresh and after I completed Zelda, gave me some very welcome new content to pull me back into it again.
@sanderev the more I am reading about all of this and thinking about it, I agree. I think this is a bit of a damned if they do, damned if they don’t situation for Nintendo. If they left it open to manipulation and cheating then yes, multiplayer could become pretty frustrating, and I think they have gone with the option they think is safest for them.
Is it a choice that’s going to make everybody happy? No. But for me, I am at this stage just looking forward to playing it.
@Jooles_95 fantastic, thanks for taking the time to give me some info, I search their site and couldn’t find anything about the preorder process (I have mentioned it in their survey) preordered it now, can’t wait 🙌🏻

Re: Animal Crossing Direct Announced for 20th February
So much complaining! There has been so much chatter about what is and isn’t included in the game, lots of people getting upset by things that haven’t been confirmed and now people are upset that there’s a direct that should clarify the details?
As somebody who hasn’t played AC before I am looking forward to learning a little beforehand even if I do have to wait until after work to watch. 😩😂

@Grumblevolcano typical, I start work at 2pm 😑

Ok, so other places are saying 2pm UK? Which is correct.
Re: Animal Crossing Direct Announced for 20th February
Oh how lovely that they timed it so I can watch before I have to go to work. Super excited to learn a bit more about it. 😊
