killthenet Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Is it really a town any more though? Surely we need to come up with island names instead. I usually call mine Bumtown - Bum Island doesn't have the same ring to it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmsly Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's pretty crazy the things you can place around the island. Like the large mech and Godzilla type creature in this video^ As for Island names, I can't think up anything original so I just look through the names of levels and places in other games. Like any of the 1000's of named locations named in Breath of the Wild, for example or level names from one of the Mario games. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had TheShire (GC), Narnia (Wild World), Oz (LGttC), I’m sure there’s been more. Three seems not enough. Anyway I got a week to come up with my new towns name. I think I'll borrow that Narnia idea! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brothers and I would do the same, I can recall the names of each of our towns from back in the day... Norfair, Hyrule and Subcon.

drahkon Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 My sister, her boyfriend and I just ordered a copy together for my mom. It's her birthday tomorrow and given that she put at least 8 million hours into Animal Crossing: New Leaf, this seemed like a perfect present 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I feel like both Animal Crossing and Astral Chain are one of those rare instances where Nintendo can advertise the game's all that they want, but with a niche-but-totally-successful franchise and with a new franchise from a developer which serves a somewhat niche genre these days, respectively, I think that word of mouth is much more important than any deep dives or previews can muster up for the game, especially when it comes to sales and bringing new fans into the franchise. Anecdotally, I doubt I'd be on board for AC:NH, save for the love of the franchise on here and elsewhere on the internet, and so I'm more than willing to give it a go, and I'm very excited to do so. Unfortunately, and this has been discussed elsewhere on the forum recently, review scores are much more important to the average consumer today than the actual contents of the review. I think this ties into releasing this review a little bit earlier than they might otherwise; Nintendo is confident about their product, and want that word of mouth to spread about the game. What's more, there's not much that I feel like you can spoil with a game like this, so I personally am all for the reviews dropping today.

Ronnie Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) There's also a rumoured Indie World showcase coming this week, so if that's a thing, then they might announce on Tuesday and release on Thursday, today is the best day for AC reviews to get out of the way of the indie news.

drahkon Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Think I'll give this one a go myself. I very much enjoy games à la Stardew Valley and AC:NH is obivoulsy one of those "play at your own pace" kind of games. Even if I end up not liking it, I'll be able to resell for minor loss anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktendo Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Love Animal Crossing, hate Coronovirus. Day 1. FFS, Nintendo. I'm beyond caring about your arbitrary save system. Just let me listen to K.K. strum his guitar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I believe the reviews. Animal Crossing is a unique kind of magic, and if Nintendo has managed to repeat the formula, but expand on it enough, it'll be exactly what we need right now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
