Even if I don't use voice chat, typing on my phone and having the text appear ingame is easier than typing on the Switch or reading on a different screen, and I can correct typos without having to delete half the message. Had the app installed for Splatnet anyway, so it's not a huge loss of storage space.
I check in every day, but I only play as much as I want to. If I'm in the mood for three hours of landscaping, cool. If I don't feel like playing, I check my mail and the shops and that's it. No point in forcing myself to play, games are supposed to be fun.
I wish Leif wasn't guaranteed. Kicks is fine because his stock changes significantly every time, but Leif just doesn't have a big enough item pool, especially when you can get the flower seeds from the regular store anyway.
Is it really gone from their wishlist? So far games that were taken down temporarily remained on the list, you were just unable to buy them. If it poofed, that's a little more suspicious.
Funny how they think taken usernames are "too confusing" as if their customers never tried to sign up for literally anything else in the world. Pro tip: "This username is already in use" gets the point across quite nicely.
I have a little place with two benches and a fountain and that's it. The rest of my island is full of random things to msintain my 5 star rating purely based on numbers until I figure out what to do with all that space.
@Kalmaro Never seen anyone do that with these two, maybe I'm not hanging out in the right internet circles. This article is thr first time I see anyone push their opinion.
@Kalmaro That was a jab at how every time a relationship between two people of the same sex (in the broadest sense) is the tiniest bit ambiguous, some people are hellbent on disproving that there could be romance involved. Read: this article is pretty pointless.
Peopke who want to ship them will do that regardless of official confirmation, people who don't won't, and the only thing that really matters is that we're all just scamming them out of their money.
I got one meteor shower and that gave me enough fragments to craft the Aries chair and three different wands. We can't even get the other zodiac fragments yet, I'm sure we'll eventually collect more than enough for everything.
Overall I'm beginning to get the impression that some people forget AC is supposed to be a long-term game and anything that can't be easily accessed through time traveling feels like it's not enough. The game has been out for ONE MONTH, it's not designed to let you collect all you need in one evening.
@Mountain_Man Moving villagers out when inviting someone from the campsite isn't that obscure though, and adopting isn't either, there was a huge market for villagers in the community when NL was popular.
For the delay, this game has a concerning amount of major issues.
The eggs are annoying and I wonder how much thought even went into the event if I can get almost 90 wood eggs from my usual daily island tour, but only 2 earth eggs. I don't remember New Leaf having such a massive egg type imbalance.
The problem isn't even fruit. The problem is that most items with color variations aren't customizable. Instead every game gets assigned one color and you have to trade for everything else. Or you're lucky enough to find them in trees or balloons, but with so many items and colors, good luck getting the ones you want, let alone as many options as you had in previous games.

I wish the Nintendo Switch had more customization options. What do all these Joycon colors exist for?

Nope, they all do the same, they just have different designs.
Re: Random: Reggie Says Animal Crossing: New Horizons Should Give Out More Star Fragments - Do You Agree?
I got one meteor shower and that gave me enough fragments to craft the Aries chair and three different wands. We can't even get the other zodiac fragments yet, I'm sure we'll eventually collect more than enough for everything.

No reason not to get the games unless you hate top-down Zelda. Or minecarts. Or minigames that throw five dozen bombs at you. Or Jabu-Jabu.

Proper customization for all items with different looks. And touchscreen functionality for designs and inventory organization.

Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Sales Fall By 81% In Disappointing Week For Nintendo
Closed stores and the fact that everyone bought it the first week and obviously doesn't need more copies might have something to do with it.
