Posted January 31, 2020 That’s disappointing, no design on the joycons. It’s not like you ever look at the dock much. They did much better with the AC edition 3DS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 31, 2020 Wow lovely colours! Really hope they sell those joy-con separately or I'll have to go the eBay route Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 31, 2020 Hmm, I would love to be able to buy one but I can't really justify blowing £300 on a second Switch. I'm in the same boat as you @Ronnie, hopefully the joy cons are sold separately. Will definitely go for that case though, really like the design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 31, 2020 There are news about the multiplayer-aspect in the game as well: Quote Up to eight players can reside on an island; four residents of the same island can play together simultaneously on a single system. Eight players can play together on one player’s island via online multiplayer or local wireless. *Up to 8 players with registered accounts on a Nintendo Switch console can live on one shared island, and up to four residents of one island can play simultaneously on one console. Please note: only one island can exist per Nintendo Switch console, irrespective of the number of user accounts registered to or copies of the game used on one console. One Nintendo Switch and one copy of the game is required for each unique island. Alternatively, up to eight people can play together on one island via local wireless or online play. Local wireless play requires one console and one copy of the software per player. Internet connection required during online play. To use online services, you must create a Nintendo Account and accept the related agreement. The Nintendo Account Privacy Policy applies. Some online services may not be available in all countries. Online play requires paid online membership. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 31, 2020 I'm very surprised that there isn't a Switch Lite Animal Crossing model on the cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2020 Just now, Glen-i said: Considering that there will be same screen multiplayer available for the first time, the Switch Lite wouldn't be ideal for that. The way I see it is that I imagine a lot of people, especially in Japan, will be playing the game in handheld mode, which is why the Lite makes more sense to me. Plus, with it being the cheaper model it would probably sell a lot more. Saying that, the AC IP is strong so maybe by offering just a standard Switch AC console it then forces people to buy the more expensive version if they want their limited edition goods.

They are selling them separately in Japan. So you can at least import them if they don't see a release over here. HERE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2020 Bah, can’t seem to find where to preorder one, even on the official store. As I said before, a Lite version would have been preferable but I’ll probably pick this up. Can always connect the dock to the tv upstairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2020 Those colours are even more stunning at a second glance! I'll buy the whole Switch and sell the console/dock on ebay if need be. I NEED them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2020 I was hoping to use the 10% discount code I got for registering that catalogue I got over Xmas. The code is on the back, but I can’t find the catalogue now!! Does anyone know if they’re still running that promotion or has it expired now? Saves me searching everywhere for the catalogue if it’s expired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 1, 2020 Looking forward to this, my first AC since the original. I'm hoping I can get the wife into it, but probably won't though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing deters a person from playing a game more than another person trying to co-erce them into playing it. Just play it in front of her, don't talk about what's going on (Unless she straight up asks you about it). See if that catches her interest. And if she doesn't, well, you've always got N-Europe peeps to visit. Edited February 1, 2020 by Glen-i 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 1, 2020 I'm unsure if I'm going to pick up this game. The vibe and energy are very me, but then I find with games that require such a commitment I back out quickly. Essentially... Also I know it's a painted on design so it can't, but it would be really nice if when you docked the console the waves bobbed up and down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
