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.

Too bad this is a joke. I may be a little nostalgically attached to Mario is Missing...

You know what? I'm not terribly interested in this game (or even P5), but if I was, this would be off-putting enough to reconsider.

Nice
Btw, after your first camper moves in, talking to Tom Nook unlocks the amiibo invite function for the campsite.

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.

Bravely Default II for me, maybe Trials of Mana or Xenoblade Chronicles if I have leftover money next month.

Interesting, but I don't think having to pay for shipping will help this in the long run.

Not a lot that interests me, but it was good enough. With Animal Crossing as my main game, I don't have a lot of time to play anything else anyway.

Everyone's talking about the removed dub, but for me, not being able to allocate stats yourself in the Switch version is the bigger dealbreaker.

Financial stability decreased.

Leave Tommy alone. Leave Tom Nook alone too unless you can show me a single real life house loan you can pay off after three hours of bug hunting.

I'm not sure you use amiibo before the game tells you, either on the photo island or wherever you invite animals to the campsite after you built it. I've only unlocked Photopia where you can put them in photo shoots, and scanning an amiibo also adds a poster of the character to your catalog.

You mean another digital only release.

Codes are not physical. You download the game from the eShop. Whether you get access to the download using money or a code is irrelevant.

Why waste storage space when I have a perfectly good unused beach?

Balloons now give you random clothes/furniture (like the trees) or even bells if you're lucky, and there are plenty of them compared to New Leaf. Just keep a slingshot in your inventory.

@CroRock
Remove the weeds around the trees. They count as occupied spaces and if your fruit can't find a free one close enough, they disappear.

Amazon told me the game would be delivered on the 24th, but unfortuately the way my order looks now (it just says Tuesday without the actual date) is the same as several other orders that kept telling me they would arrive "tomorrow" or "today" without ever actually being shipped. The other store sent me a mail that my order was shipped yesterday, but their own tracking says it hasn't even been given to the delivery people. Delay stuff if necessary, but stop lying to me?

Time to get Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon to finish my collection.

@Alundra-1998
In the game itself The event started today. Not sure if the gyroid collection will have more new items, but so far I haven't seen anything that's not part of the fishing tourney or log-in set.

The only items you need tickets for are the two flags for 50 tickets each. The rest is log-in bonuses and fishing tournament rewards.

Yes, New Horizons will get items as well, but since Nintendo said there will be no connection between the games, they'll likely just be regular ingame downloads.

Glad to see we get so many events with news spirits. When thare was nothing after the first two or so events for a long time I thought they were going to quietly drop it.

Ring Fit Adventure is tempting as an option to exercise without having to go somewhere else, but unfortunately the reviews sound like I couldn't make it work with my health limitations.

"SEGA accepted that reality"

Multiple systems for testing purposes, probably.

Looks like no one's going to see me that weekend, I'll be too busy collecting stones.

I honestly don't care. There's no reason for me to let a company's reputation or people's opinions influence how I spend my own money and free time.

Has anyone's user experience ever been enhanced by these updates?

By some people's logic, half the world should identify as geese now, yet somehow that never happened. Children will be fine if their character wears a differently shaped piece of fabric.

I have a feeling we wouldn't have these discussions if people stopped freaking out over customization options for a fictional avatar in a game. Those are usually the ones that start the discussions.

Anyway, guys could wear dresses no problem in New Leaf, and Pocket Camp already let you set your gender (though the eye options were still locked afaik), so I don't really see the issue here.

Mewtwo is really, REALLY hard. Casual players wouldn't really stand much of a chance to catch multiples (if they can even beat it). And let's not give people more reasons to ask for ridiculous trades on the GTS either. This is for the best.

Stuff in directs and other videos aside, the girl on the game's cover has a hairstyle that's not on the chart It also wouldn't make any sense to not even port all the existing ones over.

Even if you don't remodel your entire island, the landscaping is still immensely useful. I'm sure we all had those moments when the river was just a tiny little bit in the way of our building plans.

@nintendork64
The reason they restrict the backup system in the first place is still very likely to prevent "cheating." There would be no need to add these limitations, that still don't mean you can transfer your save data to a new console if you just want to upgrade to a better model.

I'm under the impression that this last point is why the majority of the backlash happened, because it looks like Nintendo is paranoid enough to make sure players play it EXACTLY the way they expect. And there have been enough revisions made to the procedure now that the backlash has worked. Or maybe Nintendo realized they won't sell as many consoles if people choose keeping their save file over buying a new model. Either way, we're not stuck with their initial crap idea anymore and that's good.

What is cheating in this game even? Time manipulation was an ingame function in NL, so that wasn't it.

Hacking an inconvenient stone out of existence? I know someone who did that, and I wouldn't have noticed because I typically don't go around counting people's stones. And they were happier playing in their own town.

Duplicating items... maybe. But it doesn't hurt me if someome decides to put 50 ice cream lamps in home. The largest ac community is adamantly against even talking about cloning, and even a few years after release I could easily find people paying high prices for my legit Saharah wallpapers. I myself had someone clone a golden watering can for me ONLY because getting one the normal way would have forced me to build my town matching some criteria that go against the "create your own world" spirit I bought the game for.

So, what kind of "cheating" do you need to protect other players from?

I don't think it's supposed to add value or convince anyone to buy the digital version, it's just meant to get people to buy a subscription.

You'd think the kind of people who discuss tiny trailer details would have seen Hitokui Village.

It's for you when the bees kill you.

Regarding upgrading the system, some people on my AC forum believe the restriction applies to the save file transfer only, and you can still do a full system transfer to a new device. Has this ever been deconfirmed somewhere? It would be a little strange if you transfer the whole system as is, but one game would be excluded somehow. (If it really does work like that, I wonder if they'll change their mind when people inevitably stop upgrading their systems.)

The all-digital future has been touted long before the influx of physical special editions filled with stuff that takes up even more space in your home than just the game. It's almost as if there's a market for these things.

I don't think I really understand where people go where they need to take their entire library with them, but even my cheap carrying case (that I have with me either way if I take my Switch on a trip) has room for 29 cartridges.

I'm glad I don't have to pay three times as much for games I don't even want, so Nintendo is perfect for me.

This "maybe we release/port our game if you beg enough" mentality is getting out of hand these days.

And here's the same Yoshi theme again for the fourth or even fifth time.

If excitement for the game doesn't hold up when there's no money to win, I have a hard time believing it was excitement for the game to begin with. But at least the guy doesn't sound like a demanding crybaby, like the other one.

Would be a nice long term goal if it wasn't limited to the first month.

Even more evidence that user reviews and scores in general are utterly useless.

At least the game got a publicity boost.

That harness thing they're wearing is exactly he same as those dudes in Dragon Quest. Give the guys some pants but otherwise I don't know if THAT much censorship was necessary if the text is clearly venturing out of kid-friendly territory that often.

Looks interesting, but that price is a little too high for me.

Nintendo really counts on us making impulse purchases when we're forced to go to the eShop to view the full list, hm?

Doesn't every game with online multiplayer have this because of the option to buy an online subscription?

@Roto13
Oh right, the RV series. Those were so stupidly rare I forgot they existed.

That reminds me, I hope we get June back as a regular villager.

No regular villagers in NL were locked behind cards though? It's been a while since I used them, but I thought it was just the special characters visiting your campsite and selling unique items, and even then you could trade them/buy from other campsites.

The only amiibo-locked villagers I'm aware of were the Splatoon/Zelda/Sanrio ones.

I'm sure time travelling is not an issue when changing the internal clock was an official game feature in new Leaf. Item duping maybe, since that's why we can't back up Pokemon saves.

I hope they'll finde some way to at least allow people to transfer their data to a new Switch, or else that will be a dealbreaker for many people.

And here I thought something interesting happened, instead it was just a Switch pkayer playing a game that was released on the Switch. Totally worth an article.

I like how it incorporates both forms in its design. The apple dragons didn't do it that well.

I'm glad we get more free Gmax forms, but I'd love to have a way to get it on my team pokemon. You know, the ones I care about because I played the whole game with them.
