Had this on my Steam wishlist for a while but always suspected it may come to the Switch. Hopefully the price is nice! Been looking forward to this one for a while.

Thanks, but i meant at what point from the start of the game. Do you need to have built the shop? Do you just buy them from Timmy? There's a guest in your village (her name escapes me) who you buy them from. She'll be wandering around until 12pm every Sunday.

The first one was intentional to throw people off. I couldn’t resist putting the classics as the other tracks. Everything crossed for a remake! It’s been 10+ years since I’ve played it.

I think it's a case that Nintendo are going to dish out content like new buildings as DLC/future events which is a bit of a shame. Like on New Leaf there were several shop upgrades baked in to the original game, whereas here from what I've heard there's just the one so far. I guess they're doing it to keep people playing/paying over a longer period of time. Yeah that's what I suspect too. Kind of a double edged sword. On the one hand, it's good that there won't be any spoilers and everyone will hit the major changes at roughly the same time. But on the other hand, people who have the time / want to progress will likely get burned out much faster. Think I'd prefer to have everything available now.

At the request of @Hero-of-Time The teaser is free.

Daan Koopman from NWR got the shop upgrade on day 33, so that’s coming. I have a feeling the Cafe will come later down the line. The extra shops in New Leaf were not particularly fast unlocks. The nightclub is a strange one though as that was where K.K. played and where you got reactions. In NH he’s playing on the main square and the reactions come from villagers so maybe they’ve shifted stuff around this time, no nightclub. I did see Kicks when I rewatched the direct this morning, so I’m guessing the Able Sisters’ store can be upgraded as well. Still hoping Katrina and Redd show up, Gyroids and the art gallery in the museum later down the line. Some new stuff would be cool as well, but it is still early days.

I received the globe this morning. "Getting rid of some junk, your pal, Smeagol". Thanks. I'd be up for an open trading system between us all, I've struggled for new items and now I'm finding it hard to deck out my island in a nice manner. I think having a small marketplace open in each town and playing with open gates so people can come and have a look at what we've got for sale would be a good way to accumulate new stuff. I'll hold of selling replicas to the Nook twins and drop it somewhere in town so people can come get it.

I “finished” the game this morning. I’m going to speak at length about the game on this week’s N-E Café, I have really enjoyed my 60+ hours with this game, despite a few issues. Terraforming was a bad idea. I’ve spent the best part of four hours today putting paths across my island and needlessly fiddling and tweaking with the landscape. I don’t think I’ll ever be satisfied, but it is what it is. A good addition, but done in a very restrictive, “Nintendo” way. Currently at a 3-star rating so I’m going to focus on pushing that up now that I have a full island of villagers. I need more fencing, I am obsessed with fencing. Section off this bit of land, and this bit, maybe a cliff here, looks shit, use a fence. This fence is ugly, what about this fence? I need to play something else.

Thanks, trying again.

Dodo code isn’t working for some reason

110 bells in my town... Anyone got anything cheaper and willing to open up?

Coming back now 🥳

What happened there @BowserBasher? I got disconnected Are we having a meet-up tonight? I know @Glen-i can’t host, but what about someone else? @Mr-Paul @drahkon @RedShell @Ronnie @Sméagol @Vileplume2000

This week I'm gonna be talking in depth about Animal Crossing. I'm going to roll the credits tonight, K.K. is coming! If anyone has any thoughts / comments about their time with the game over the past two weeks, especially those who've "finished" it, it'd be good to see how my feeling stack up in comparison. I'm very positive about the game overall, but there are a few things that could've been done better, which I guess is the general feeling on the forum.

Have you tried complaining about a resident to Isabelle, @drahkon? I’m sure you could do that in New Leaf.

Time to get down to BUSINESS. Edit: His town is called Tubtime I left some appropriate gifts.

I'm at 148 bells now, which isn't bad, I suppose. Holding off for now. That ERA code has expired unfortunately. Still hoping I'll get a bigger spike tomorrow.

Yeah I saw Axiom on sale. Might pick it up for Switch...

There’s a difference between bashing China and bashing the CCP. They need to be called out, and people who bash China and the Chinese people should be shut down. Self-reliance is not really possible in the modern world. Mutual respect and co-operation is, so that’s what we should aim for. And people need to be aware of how important this is. The media in Europe and the US is failing us. Why is a YouTuber who happened to live in China doing the work the media should be doing? The WHO are in bed with the CCP and published information on the 14th January that there was no human-to-human transmission. It’s little wonder the rest of the world have handled this badly when only a month before outbreaks started, we were being told not to worry about it. Information is power, and when it is misleading, conflicting or downright fake, there is very little people, or governments, can do. The WHO should be ignored. Listen to your local scientists and virologists. They should be boycotted for this alone. Reprehensible.

I think it depends on how long this thing carries on for and how many people are affected. I think Western governments need to hit home that this problem was made in China. Not a “Chinese virus”, but the fact that the CCP actively made sure the infection wouldn’t be contained and disappeared those who spoke out needs to be pushed. It’s still happening. Critics on social media are still going missing. CCP virus is what it should be called. The fact they’ve sent faulty aid to Italy, Spain and the Netherlands is absolutely disgusting and the CCP know exactly what they’re doing. This is on top of them scouring Western countries for medical supplies in January and February. There are countless videos on YouTube with Chinese citizens buying boxes of masks and other things from the US and Australia, which is why there are so few out in the wild now. They know we can’t lock people in their homes like they did and I’m sure they’re now loving the chaos they’ve created. Seems like my mum has it. I knew this was going to happen with her being in a supermarket, but thankfully she seems to be over the worst now. She’d not told me anything as she didn’t want me to worry but she’s had all the symptoms and still has a tight chest and light muscle fatigue. Her fever is gone and she has more energy than she did last week and she’s spent the last 10 days at home. She can’t get tested because she’s not in hospital. Just have to hope that no-one else in my family has got it. Your point about the older people and Brexit is true, and I hope this mess is one thing that can serve to unify people a little more and get those on the extremes back into some kind of coherent reality. China lied and people died. We’d do well to not forget that fact in any upcoming election. Anyone who wants to be friends and do business with the CCP will never get my vote. They need to be cut off from the West just like the USSR was and Huawei needs to be removed from all government level infrastructure projects.

I’ve hard ridiculously low prices all week so hoping for a spike at the end of the week. Someone had 603 bells on GAF last night but I was sleeping

Anyone who’s seen Galaxy I and II running at 1080p/60 on Dolphin will know that those games needs leaving well and truly alone bar maybe a little light texture improvement. It already looks amazing in full HD, so I hope they put the bulk of the work into 64 and Sunshine, should the rumour be true. The pointer stuff shouldn’t be too hard to work into the joycons. I usually hate rumours, but this one has me so excited. The original All-stars was absolutely amazing and the prospect of having four 3D Mario games on one cart again is filling me with childlike joy. I’d happily play through all four of them to completion and start all over again without even thinking, it’s been years since I touched any of them.
