Not even two days ago (like the Animal Crossing song) I saw someone post>Look at Animal Crossing New Horizons. What did it get, 2 or 3 updates and then abandoned?I bet that guy feels silly now.Although I gotta say I'm getting a little fed up with how it's becoming increasingly clear that Switch 1 was like a 8 years long beta test. The moment they make Switch 2, they say "Okay, here's the REAL version of all those games you bought and played for years." And would these games even be getting updates if they didn't need an easy way to pad out the Switch 2 lineup? It's cheaper than making a whole new game, but it was practically unheard of for a game to get no updates for four years, then out of nowhere they decide it's time for some more. Yet now they're doing it for a shitload of games.
first post
>>724598091I don’t mind these Switch 2 upgrades to be honest. The worst part about them is that it makes me hesitant to replay certain Switch games because I tell myself to just wait for an eventual upgrade that may or may not exist. A good example of this is Xenoblade. Will we get a Xenoblade upgrade? Who knows…
>>724598352holy fuckiong based fpbp
>>724598359Yeah, now I'm kind of relieved I never tried the 2.0 update of ACNH, now I'll have more to play when 3.0 comes out. But it means nothing is off limits now, at this point I'm fully expecting them to do "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Switch 2 Edition" with like a dozen new characters instead of making a new Smash game.
>>724598091>update video already at 1.6 million views on youtubeI honestly can't wait to play NH again. Is anyone planning on starting a new game or you're going to continue from your old file?
>>724599083How would you start a new game? Doesn't it only allow one save slot per switch? I haven't actually watched the video so I don't know if they announced save slots too or something. If you mean am I just gonna delete my save, then no I do not think I will throw out hundreds of hours of hard work.
>>724598660>I never tried the 2.0 update of ACNH, now I'll have more to play when 3.0 comes out.I can relate, it’s the same for me.>>724599083I’m going to be starting over with a new island. New Horizons is my least played Animal Crossing game. I didn’t even do Halloween or Christmas, so it’s sort of a shame the update launches in January. I have to wait almost an entire year to experience those holidays.
>>724599292>I haven't actually watched the video so I don't know if they announced save slots too or somethingI mean they kinda did with the whole dream islands thing but no I'm talking about deleting my entire save to start a new game
Nintendo is seriously charge 5 dollars for 4k upscaling on switch 2? And I'm assuming it's not even 60fps?
>>724598091I've been playing the older games and enjoying them much more than the switch slop
Why did I like animal crossing as a kid on gamecube, but got bored after 30 minutes playing new horizons. I told myself that new horizons focused way too much on customizing homes/decorating/customizing the island. But now that I think abotu it, that was about all there was to do on the gamecube version.
>>724599480BOTW and TOTK’s upgrades cost twice as much.
Why does Nintendo employ shills on this site?
>>724599480I paid five dollars today for a bottle of juice that I downed in five minutes
5 bucks for the Switch 2 upgrade is surprisingly non Jewish from Nintendo, especially considering they've charged more for less on other games.
>>724599480ungrateful fuck
>>724599480I guess they didn't put 60fps because nintendo wants the online shit to work between switch platforms. I heard splatoon 3 on switch 2 can't play with switch 1 players because of the S2 enhancements
>>724599727Sucker
>>724599756makes me think each team can set their own price for their games
>>724599727>I paid five dollars today for a bottle of juice that I downed in five minutesWhat took so long? Momma never taught you how to chug, PUSSY?!
>>724599727you got jewed by the juice company
they only mentioned res upgrade, but what about 60fps?
I'd pay $40 for all 4 Xenoblade upgrades but they refuse to release them for some reason...
>>724601234Let them cook
>>724598091>All these new additions andcollab shilling>Not ONE mention of Mii masks coming back from New LeafFucking assholes. They better bring back the Diving Helmet at least, that was my favorite helmet.(Also, kinda surprised on the official lego set chosen. A botanical set makes sense, but why specifically the plum blossom? And why isnt there a mini scale nostalgia set like Blacktron?
>>724599897>I heard splatoon 3 on switch 2 can't play with switch 1 players because of the S2 enhancementsThat's not true at all. Online would be dead as fuck for Switch 2 users if that was the case. It's literally just a resolution upgrade and frame rate boost in the hubs. They couldn't even offer joycon 2 mouse controls or anything, probably to keep parity with Switch 1 users.
>>724601834Splatoon 4 with mouse controls is gonna be crazy tho
>>724599701Why not? It's free
>>724598091The Switch was literally this to the Wii U, what kind of retardation is this? We even got XBCX Definitive Edition finally. It's just how Nintendo does their release cycle nowadays, they pad the year 1 lineup with ports, upgrades, remasters, remakes, special editions, etc. of the last gen's games. You've only got so many years to live brotherman, 8 fucking years later isn't "le beta testing" shit, it's the normal cycle for a release and rerelease now, and oftentimes it's even shorter than that. Moreover for most of them it's just minor performance upgrades, like Pokemon and the S2 paid upgrade thing. In fact, they literally did the exact same fucking thing for the free update with the extra content back in New Leaf, came back to it after ages of nothing but spotpass items.
Absolute nothingburger update
>>724599083I didn't even mean to abandon it last year, I just got really engrossed in other games and was being autistic about gathering seasonal recipes. Definitely no reason to ever start over, never will understand that. Great excuse to boot it up again though, maybe even will test new layouts in the 3 dream island sandboxes.
>>724602025I for one do NOT care for the japanese.Or Moray Towers.
>>724602636With the Switch it kind of made sense because 1) The Switch wasn't backwards compatible with the Wii U and 2) The Wii U as a whole was a massive bomb so it was a way to "try again" with titles that had previously failed.Switch 1 doesn't have either of those problems. It was a huge success. I don't deny that remasters are already common, but this specific "Switch 2 Edition" is definitely a new angle we haven't seen before.
The pedo managed to make a 14 minute video being mad about a free update.This one goes out to the boys in the last thread who said it wasnt possible.
>>724603316What is with the absolutely seething deranged hatred towards Nintendo this gen, I've never seen it as bad as it is now. Even during S1 it wasn't like this
>>724603426It probably has something to do with not being able to pirate switch 2 games lol
>>724603426It happened last gen, but it was late, the first I noticed was starting with the announcement of totk being 70 dollars, then palworld released (this is well before the lawsuit) and people went wild, seemingly forgetting that nintendo is not gamefreak people started doing shit like spamming nintendo's twitter with shit about pirating their games and palworld somehow destroying them. Next there was the "character looking at things" patent which led to a few other patents causing seethe, then finally the flood of totk hate, the lawsuit, and the switch 2 reveal.Honestly, it seems insanely astroturfed, except for the zelda hate, since I cant remember a single 3d zelda to release that didnt have people losing their fucking minds over it.
>$5 performance patch (still 30 fps tho lol)>tendies defend this because they're already used to getting reamed by $20 performance patchesGrim
>>724604021>"$5 is b-bad!!!"Get a job loser.
>>724603209No, it's the exact same shit with a different label. They even did this for the 3DS sometimes.
>>724598091>I bet that guy feels silly now.Hey that was me.I don't feel silly becauas this came out of the blue and the last major updates were back in 2021, maybe 2022 time frame. Happy they finally updated it because I thought they abandoned it altogether back then.And yeah it seems like they are doing what they did with the WiiU by porting a lot of those games onto the Switch 1. Only this time its a bit lame since it seems like most of the Switch 2's games are ports or minor port enchancements.
So we're definitely not getting a new game next year
>>724604186If you mean the "New 3DS Editions", they only did that for a grand total of 4 games. It's hardly comparable to the absolute deluge we're getting now.
>>724602950>Definitely no reason to ever start over, never will understand thatI don't like the way I left my island so I kinda want to start over
Any anon do a non-terraforming island or want to?
>>724604021They can't increase the framerate because it's tied to game logic. It'd break everything unless they rebuilt the game from the ground up, which would be an insane task. A modern game wouldn't have been made like that but unfortunately the game released like six years ago(and probably started development 8-10 years ago) and techniques like this were common back in those days.
>>724604485Nope, they did stuff like rerelease old DS games with 3D added. Not many, but enough to notice.
>>724604496What do you mean by that, it has terraforming so you can change it however you want. Plus this is the game where nobody moves out unless you let them so if you take a few years off the game you don't have to worry about all the houses getting moved around and smashing your decor.I guess the one thing that could happen is you'd get overrun by weeds but in my opinion the weeds actually look nice in this game and for me personally it won't be a problem because I have every single space on my island covered with roads or flowers.
>>724604496NH has an arduous and annoying tutorial so honestly it's easier to just redeco it entirely. You'd still have to with a new one either way.
>>724604960So those videos I've been seeing of the game no longer chugging when you put down a bunch of fish on Switch 2, are not the framerate increasing, but rather the framerate no longer decreasing?
>>724603316Nintendo could announce a free lifetime supply of blowjobs from Princess Peach and this faggot would complain it wasn't Daisy.
>>724605103Oh yeah I forgot how godawful the tutorial was. It took literal weeks in real time just to be able to hear K.K. Slider.
>>724604896I've never touched terraforming, not because I'm against it but because I'm too autistic to fuck it up and I'm now used to the layout.Might try on the dream islands...
>>724599083I have since given away my switch to my sister because I built a high end PC and can emulate switch games in much higher quality than the console so I have no choice but to start over. if only I had a first gen switch I'd just dump the save and transfer, I loved my island and put alot of time and care into making it look nice.
>>724604960I'm gonna say it. Game Logic tied to framerate>>>> Game Logic not tied to framerate. games actually slowing down the gameplay when they're chugging is the peak of gaming kino. everyone who played megaman X remembers the end of armored armadillo's stage for a reason.
>>724605137That's correct. The game is heavily based around time progressing and figures it out internally by assuming that 30 frames = one second passed. Some light lag, or lack of in the Switch 2 version, wouldn't have a noticeable impact but a constant doubling of the framerate to 60fps would completely mess things up.
>>724598091>AC update>it's leaning EVEN HARDER into the dollhouse shitthey need to replace the chick in charge of AC fucking yesterday. can't believe she's still in charge after she made amiibo festival.
>>724598352fpbp
>>724605202Yeah don't do it, the tutorial will probably put you off playing again by itself, even with time travel.
>>724605062>>724605103Okay I guess I'll continue playing on my old save file. I totally forgot that this game takes weeks to unlock everything
>>724605515Dollhouse sells.I like dollhouse too, unironically. There are no writers left that would be able to make a game like the original AC, nor would it pass the checks that caused Resetti to be sidelined to stop scaring Japanese children.It's a product of the time. And this is a product of this time, even though it feels like a different series. I enjoy them both for different reasons.
>>724605861It's what trips up most people from continuing after resetting. The tutorial is the worst thing about the game.
>Shiver for scanning the Callie amiibo>Frye for scanning the Marie amiiboThey have got to be trolling with this, surely they know fans of Marie would prefer Shiver and fans of Callie would prefer Frye.
>>724605194> Nintendo could announce a free lifetime supply of blowjobs from Princess Peach and this faggot would complain it wasn't Daisy.No, the real issue is that a lifetime supply isn’t the same as an unlimited supply. It would only be about 1 blowjob a month, which won’t change your life too much.
>>724606058It's because Cece and Viche fit those designs more and they happened to be on those amiibo prior to their redesigns.
>>724605918Honestly with them introducing Dream Islands i really feel like they could go back to normal animal crossing where you aren't the god emperor of the land for the normal gameplay and move all of that to dream islands. its not like i don't get the appeal of making everything exactly how you want it, i just find it lacking in appeal. I don't even like the whole "you're the mayor" shit, it absolutely ruins the original concept of sharing an island with other people.
>>724605515you're a deluded retard if you think they're gonna can the person in charge of Nintendo's second best selling game of all time.
I'm just happy they're adding Nintdndo items and clothing beyond Mario desu. That was my main complaint about NH
>>724606058nobody prefers Frye anon. and they can't have both amiibo summon Shiver.
Wake me up when they make a game just like the movie, complete with an immersive detailed town and a full 360 camera.
>>724606330I know they won't "now" but they should've done it after amiibo festival was a humongous failure.
>>724606369I prefer Frye but Viche looks godawful
>>724606295I don't think that would realistically fix the issues people complain about.The dialogue would be the same.The villagers would be the same.The only difference is now you would have to reset the layout more than just to not have the town hall in the most obnoxious space possible.
>>724606461The movie was kinda trash and the game you're looking for already exists, it's called Skyrim.
Just make a dating sim ffs
>>724598660>"Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Switch 2 Edition"I can't deal with 8 more years of ultimate's shitty online. That would be fucking terrible.
Confirmation from Nintendo that the game is still 30fps on Switch 2.
>>724603316>weak hardware>overpriced >no games>key cards (literally the worst of both worlds) Every new thing they said about the switch 2 killed any hype I had in it, its not hard to see why people would seeth about it when the switch 2 could be so much better
NH is the best AC game and Im tired of pretending otherwiseThe only argument you people have is "the villagers no longer call me a nigger" when the first couple games translations were made up and inaccurate to their JP original
>>724606807It's not like the online will magically be any better because it's a new game, this is Nintendo we're talking about.
>>724606836Does it even matter for AC? Not like there's any actual gameplay that needs tight frames going on.
>>724606928Still had some fucker with a Nazi flag and uniform trying to visit our islands in the ACNH threads. I wish I'd known how to report him at the time.
>>724606943It's just a bit embarrassing when Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 40fps on the same system.
>>724603426Its the thing now, like free palestine or get vaxxed or abortions are good, now its fuck nintendoOnce a thing becomes the thing people just follow it without question, of course nintendo does bad things but these people dont care about nuance I think it happens that when enough "nintendo is bad" content is out there it just becomes the deffault to have that viewKinda scary how easy it is to manipulate people huh
>>724606660The movie was 10/10 its exactly what I wanted from an AC movieI hope they make a second one at some point
>>724607020Why thoSounds fun, I love theme towns. Saw one that was designed to look like an air base.
>>724606928>The only argument you people have is "the villagers no longer call me a nigger"wrong but not surprising coming from a retard like youthe problem is that everything revolves around the player, without the player, there is nothing happening, villagers have no agency and are flat as shit
>>724607271The old games were also like that, tell me please what happened without you in the older gamesOnly thing I can think of is the villagers leaving your town on their own which nobody liked
What if the next AC game turns villagers into AI chatbots
>>724607063It's more because Nintendo itself is doing enough to give the slop farmers some slop fuel to make videos with.They've been extremely litigious as of late and the S2's key cards are rather unpopular, combined with them taking the lead in raising standard game prices and other companies following suit.I don't get up in arms about Japanese Disney doing standard corporate bullshit but a lot of people do. They also get shade from what companies related to them, like Gamefreak, do.
>>724607340Then I'll exploit the AI to ERP with them
>decorationslop update>trannyjeet shill posts
>>724606807The online is so bad that it’s more fun to just fight the CPU.
Best part of the update is the extra 2000 storage
>>724606369>nobody prefers Frye anonDon't be like that
>>724607063All those things except fuck nintendo are good though
>>724607584Agreed, I was close to making another character on a different switch profile just as a mule.
New Horizons is the shitties fucking Animal Crossing to date and has the worst fucking OSTT in the entire series. I really hope they make a new one just to see if the series can still be good otherwise it's fucking dead to me. I'll stick to playing my City Folk town for the past 15 years.
>>724607737Nah its the best one and you are a nostalgiafag
So does the Switch 2 version actually add anything that's not on the Switch 1 version, aside from "better performance" (on a game that runs perfectly fine on Switch 1)?Or is this just Nintendo going "Please buy a Switch 2 and the whole game again." even though you can play it on 1 just fine.
>>724607737Anon I can guarantee to you that if they make a new one you will hate it even more because this one is literally one of the best selling games ever fucking made
>>724607806Mouse controls, voice chat, and more players online at once.
>>724607737What does city folk have that this one doesntExtreme grass degradation? You enjoy that? Then yeah CF will be the best for you
>haven't played in over 2 yearsHope my lawn isn't overgrown
>>724607737I think NH is better than the Wild World/Coty Folk OST, that was almost entirely just remixes of the same song over and over. The Gamecube OST remains undefeated.
>>724607890>soul>game is actually designed like a game instead of a retarded version of minecraft where you can do whatever the fuck you want immediately>Better OST>Villager dialogue is unique and feels like you're actually talking to them >60fpsDid I mention the music is better? The entire fucking selling point of the series, meanwhile New Horizons has like 10 songs that sound exactly the samehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMeSD23TV9Y
>>724608112>soulbuzzword>game is actually designed like a game instead of a retarded version of minecraft where you can do whatever the fuck you want immediatelyNot true, NH has like a two week tutorial period where you cant do shit and surprise is the part people like the least>Better OSTOpinions, I like both>Villager dialogue is unique and feels like you're actually talking to themNot true at all, NH has more dialogue than all previous games>60fpsObjective criticism
>>724608112I like how you didn't reply to the grass deterioration part, probably because you don't know what that means and all your criticisms are surface level, lowest common denominator bullshit.
>>724608112Oh also>music is the selling point of the seriesWhat the fuck? Is that really the selling point for you? First time Ive heard such a thing but ok
>>724608112Aside from the music, CF is probably one of the worst AC games. No, Chrissy telling me I she's feeling pissed because she can't remember a TV show line doesn't make the game better.I played the shit out of it but the game is definitely not above NL.But yes NH has the worst hourly music and a horrendous tutorial.
>>724608313>>724608271>>724608250>>724608112>>724608359https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F59lA8c3lkThis mogs any other hourly music in the entire series
>>724608570Explain why, cause this sounds like utter shit. 5pm in New Leaf and City Folk and def the OG are better
>>724608250>NH has more dialogue than all previous gameseven gamecube?
Purley IMO>Gamecube>New Leaf>New Horizons>CF/WWIn terms of OSTs.
>>724608570It's fine but honestly I vastly prefer almost all the hourly music from NL and CF far more than this.
>>724608359CF was cool for the weird modding potential the game had. HDLC was really neat
>>724608271>Grass deterioration is more important than music and actual gameplay They didn't reply to that part because there is not a single person on Earth that has fucking grass deterioration as their biggest issue with the series. You also are intentionally ignoring everything else they mentioned just to draw out your shitty bait, all of which are far more important aspects of the game.
>>724608726Sure but I'm judging it by the vanilla merits. Also hated the fomo DLC items in both it and NL, despite NL being my favorite.
The only thing I prefer about the old ACs is the Gamecube one where the rain had its own theme song and if it rained it would rain the whole day. I don't like how in the other games rain just comes and goes and if you're unlucky you only get a few minutes before it's gone. Other than that I prefer NH.
>>724598091>30FPS (don't give me bullshit about physics, BoTW has TON of shit fixed to framerate and they pulled that off. You could also limit framerate in multiplayer if needed)>Didn't remove breakable tools or at least introduce unbreakable ones>Crafting materials still can't be taken from storage>Precisely placing/moving buildings still requires you to physically position Isabelle to a precise spot instead of just opening up a new menu and allowing you to precisely select placement similar to how you move furniture indoors>Nooks still has one upgrade>Houses still look like shit and don't allow full rooms as the second floor>Terraforming is still a fucking hassle and a half, if they're going to make the game a glorified dollhouse and let you move your furniture indoors like a god at least commit to it for outdoors and terraforming tooAll off the top of my head, there's probably still more I'm not thinking about.The game is still lacking shit that should have been fixed close to launch.
>>724609084Really the only thing the Gamecube game needs ironed out is some of the weird shit like having to mail off your fossils and the low variety of ocean fish. In terms of overall vibe and gameplay it's pretty much perfect.
>>724608818Nigger, grass deterioration was umiversally despised.
>>724608818It was probably the most widespread complaint back then. Plenty of people cited it as their biggest issue with CF.Personally my biggest issue with CF was villagers doing irritating shit like asking for specific dinosaur fossils I had zero chance of getting within a day for them. Or maybe the obnoxiously low bell income despite it needing so much for stuff like the lighthouse or the feathers.
>>724609162I'd get rid of acre transitions or just make it an optional setting but yeah I agree.
>>724606921Then why is it selling well
>still no new expansions for Nook's CrannyThis is the biggest bullshit of all, how is this a thing
>>724609094You sound absolutely insufferable
>>724609675>no nookway in the big 25criminal
>>724609675>>724609821What would adding an upgrade to the shop do other than have more shit per day to sell?
>>724610023aesthetic, also the shops had different hours of operation
>>724610023>why do you want something that's been a series staple since the first game to remain in the gameGee anon I dunno
>>724610023>other than have more shit per day to sell?Aside from the different hours, yes, I would want more shit to look at every day instead of praying the meagre showcase has it. Additionally, Graciegrace and Leif had permanent shops as part of Nookingtons.
>>724610023change the fuckin outside for one thing. We can change heaven and literal earth on the island but somehow we're stuck with a rustic mom and pop store for the whole game.I'd kill to force the store into looking like Nook 'N Go for a more urban vibe. Also having more shit to sell is a good thing
>>724603316>giving clicks to rage bait grifters.
>>724610145>>724610361>>724610528While I get why a convenience store and department store wouldn't have fit the comfy island aesthetic, I'm genuinely baffled that they never came up with some way to expand the selection to the same size as it reached in previous games. I thought for sure that would be material they were saving for a big update, but nope.That said, they're adding a fucking hotel now, so surely that excuse has gotta be out the window. I'm kinda glad they never had Nookington's though, I always found it to be an eyesore. Nookway was better, I wish you could choose which one to keep.
>>724610023more shit and potentially move a bunch of the harv's island functionality onto the main island itself. I'd kill for Cyrus to have an attached store for furniture customization immediately on purchasing it from the Nooklings.
>>724610894A hotel built in the middle of the fucking ocean on a dock btw
>>724610953
>>724610741It's worth it to see him and his synchopaths desperatly cope
>>724610953yeah the location is a bizarre choice for sure, feels like it should've just been a new facility you can place yourself. or at least have it be a new pier you can place down instead of awkwardly extending the pre-existing one
>>724611125I think it's because people were begging for years for them to do something with the pier and they've been overcorrecting ever since
>>724610894fuck the island aesthetic, I paved over 1/4 of the island in cobblestone, made pseudo-walls out of clothing booths as buildings, and made roads and parking lots out of patterns in order to make a mock urban settingand it all looks ugly as sin :(
>>724611438Can I get your dream address? I wanna explore it when I come back to this game
For the next game I really hope that they'll let us pick a biome for our town. Old GC Mountain style, urban style, island, deeper forest style, there's a lot of potential for customization if we can pick starting templates for our environment to work with.
>>724606058>surely they know fans of Marie would prefer Shiver and fans of Callie would prefer Frye.wrongand it's shiver and frye, and callie and marienot frye and shiver, or marie and callie
>>724611781If you want to get technical, it's Shiver, Frye, and Big Man. But I'm not sure the order really matters since there's no pun there like there is with Callie/Marie and Calimari.
>>724611681Doing a wild west themed town in a desert biome would be fun.
>>724611681>>724612013I feel like there's already a game for you guys out there called Minecraft.
>>724598091wow i cant believe theyre incentivising people to buy new copies of old games, sickening stuff.
>>724612118And I feel like you're a fucking retard
>>724612118You're five years too late with that comment. Modern animal crossing is just a shittier minecraft with a cuter aesthetic.
>>724611896>and Big Man.he lost twice and got turned into a bench, it's just shiver and frye now
>>724612216Well it is more sinister than you make it sound because now people won't be able to buy used copies of the game for a lower price and deprive Nintendo of money.
>>724606058Do we know the amiibo? My only AC Amiibo are the 4 Off the Hook ones
>>724606461It's unironically not Animal Crossing without the top down camera and the illusion of the cylinder world
Post your own custom designs
>>724613595lmao, classic.
>>724613095They didn't say which specific amiibo, so my guess is some of them will unlock one character and some of them will unlock the other, so that people don't get fucked over by not getting a very specific amiibo.
>>724611681petit planet does thisthere are different types of planets, i thinkwe'll see next week how it works
>>724614852Yeah, this confirmed they can no longer be trusted when they say no more updates. Updates for anything will always be on the table from now on.
the game is more dress up than life sim letting have control over everything now feels boring
What kind of fucking lunatic sleeps in a room a kappa has a key to
>>724615143I don't want a life sim. At long last, I am the one in control. I can not be stopped. My power is infinte.
>>724614803it does have functionality, but it's repeated functionality of the campsite where random villagers visit and can be invited to the island
>>724614852I doubt it, seems like they just added a cut portion of the DLC into the main game to bundle with the switch 2 upgrade to make it more worth a shit than not at all.
>>724615338But that means there could be more cut DLC we hadn't heard of that we'll be getting down the line if they want to pursue it.
>>724615674sure but I doubt they'll have any reason to, they're just trying to conjure up content for the switch 2 re-release so there's more to do than just touring your complete island with an improved resolution.
>>724607890>What does city folk have that this one doesnt- A short tutorial that doesn't take a week to complete.- A town where you're one of the villagers instead of a tardwrangler that micromanages the place.- Villagers that come and go as they please. Letting you choose your villagers is one of the main reasons NL and NH feel more repetitive than the older games. The old games forced you to rotate villagers with diverse personalities that kept interactions with them "fresh" for longer, while in NH a lot of people tend to collect villagers with the same personality, making interactions dull and repetitive once they exhaust their dialogue pools.- Unbreakable tools (minus the non-golden versions of the axe).- Flea markets. Why they abandoned this cool feature is beyond my understanding.- Saturated colors. Granted, this is a subjective point, but seriously, since the transition to HD, all of Nintendo's games have more washed out colors compared to the SD era.
>>724615884Never underestimate Nintendo's ability to squeeze blood from a stone. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw this game again when Switch 3 comes out.
>>724615938Flea Market was still in New Leaf, just moved to Re-Tail and made permanent.It was cut in NH but NH cut a lot of shit for some reason. But I won't sit here and take this NL slander.
>>724603426Snoyggers were absolutely obliterated by Nintendo last gen, and when they tried to reverse that it was too late. They're trying to get people to hate Nintendo right out of the gate this time around.
>>724598091this game doesn't need 4k resolutionIT NEEDS 60FPS LIKE THE GAMECUBE ORIGINAL HAD 23 YEARS AGO FUCKING HELL ALMIGHTY
>>724608359>CF is probably one of the worst AC gameits not, by a longshot. Its better than WW(minus the number of rooms you can in your home) and kept villager dialogue form being watered down kiddy shit. New leaf and new horizons are by every single metric worse then the first 3 games
>>724618453Did the Gamecube original have 60fps, or do you just think it did because you played it on Dolphin?
>>724618557CF was like a DLC for WW that they sold as its own game. Reused music from WW, reused dialogue from WW, it was terrible. And WW was already a huge step down from GC. NL and NH are not the same kind of game that GC was, but they're sure better than WW/CF.
>>724618747>Reused music from WW, reused dialogue from WW,both of which were great>WW was already a huge step down from GCnot at all. Blathers wasnt worthless, bigger inventory, easier to type messages then scrolling with the thumbstick ,rolling log instead of having to load in acres, WFC, flea market, has the most rooms to expand into for your house in the entire series, great items like the crown, moon, egypt stuff, and other stuff, designs can be made with the stylus rather than the clunky wiimote/gc stick, and all the villager stories to flesh out their characters. You are objectively wrong.
>>724618656the gamecube version was an n64 port so it probably ran at 60
>>724618747>WW was already a huge step down from GCMore like a sidestep, it did a lot of stuff right but was hindered by the lack of holidays and events
>>72461865660fps according to TCRF.https://tcrf.net/Animal_Crossing/Version_Differences>The GameCube versions, meanwhile, are re-rendered in 480i, allowing for double the resolution but alternating between even-numbered and odd-numbered scanlines on a frame-by-frame basis at 60 frames per second.
>>724618453Both should be doable, but it probably requires large scale changes to the engine, maybe the next game will be 4k/60fps.
>>724608570>guess it's 5pm sunny>it's 5pm sunnyIt's on my phones playlist.
can't believe it's still 30fps what a fucking joke
>>724606461Rolling log is iconic to the series, 360 camera can fuck off, in game visual style is excellent, if I could add one more feature it would be points where you can expand the towns territory, but you can only have so much town expansions so towns form into interesting and unique shapes.
>>724619596>Rolling log is iconic to the series?Everyone always complains how they miss the GC style of camera and now the new camera is "iconic"?
this is my islandcan anyone with an active nso check if you can visit it?
>>724619679GC style isn't 360 camera either though
>>724619679>iconic features can only come from the original release
>>724606058I for one would prefer if Cece and Viche still looked like Callie and Marie respectively. Guess I'm not scanning their amiibos into NH now
>>724619812I'm also kinda confused about why they reused existing characters like that instead of just making new ones.
>>724619897That certainly would have made more incentive to have the amiibos of all the idols
i really hope they make more free updates but this seems like it's just to sell switch 2 or more copies on a better hardwarewell, at least there's zelda and splatoon collabs nowthe rest of the update looks boring dollhouse decoration slop
I fucking told you retarded faggots they'd just keep updating this game instead of making a new one. If they start from scratch it would have been another shitty drip feed or it would take 5 years. And they outright don't have the manpower for it. Smash and Mario Maker 2 next.
>>724606345>They're adding more Nintendo stuff>It's just Zelda and Splatoon (No Samus costume/Metroid, Arwing, or Blue Falcon)
>>724603426Conservatives making rage baiting a cottage industry, you see that shit here constantly too with how /v/ gets flooded with anti-nintendo threads
>>724620640desu most people don't care about iti hope a pokemon collab is next
>>724620756I care, at least do Metroid, it's the only one that's not dead right now
>>724598091Im just going to replay New Leaf and maybe City Folk using the deluxe mod.
>>724598091Welcome to modern gaming , anon
>>724619979It's especially weird because the Zelda characters ARE new characters. But then for Splatoon they didn't give a fuck. My only answer which I'm completely pulling out of my ass is that because the Animal Crossing team makes Splatoon, they didn't want to seem like they were giving Splatoon special treatment. Look how mad people get at Sakurai for giving Kid Icarus so much stuff in Smash.
>>724622531Unfortunately, Switch games are unmoddable.
Ah, I posted in the wrong thread. Lemme quell my tism:>we are adding classic consoles!>with games!>tendie paid subscription plus premium deluxe is required Fuck you. Shouldn't have expected anything else.Anyway, five bucks for the upgrade? Seems fair
>>724623798I always figured that was how they were gonna do it. They already have the apps on Switch that let you play classic games, what I thought they'd do was put for example you use the NES item and then it launches the app and you can play any game from the collection, instead of just... one game. But whatever, it's a start.
>>724604384This announcement means a new game isn't coming for at least 3 years anon. It might even mean that this is all we get for ac on the switch 2, like Mario kart 8 deluxe on switch 1
>>724624105The new AC on Switch 2 will be Pokopia.
>>724598091I want so fucking multiplayer mini games
>>72460694330fps is never acceptable, it doesn't matter if its competitive or not, it just looks awful and distracting. 60fps is the bare minimum and even that is kinda embarrassing a lot of the time but at least doesn't look like garbage.30fps is a smudgy mess to look at and frustrating to interact with
>>724599659That makes this paid update justifiable (it doesn't)
>>724599897they could just make it not desync
>>724605194Yeah I'm thinking based
>>724599756It should be free retard
>>724625702
>>724625872>*lick lick lick* mmm nummy nintendo boots
>>724598091i'd rather just play the compiled fan project of OG
Do we know if the Hotel is optional yet?It looks really ugly on the pier, and I already have HHD, so I don't really want it shitting up my island.
>>724613595
>>724626068Back when I played was trying to see if anyone made a jacket like the one Karen Kujou wears in Kiniro Mosaic, but unfortunately it was impossible to find anything because the results were poisoned by "animal crossing karen" videos. When I come back I may have to make one myself. I would have preferred to save some time and get one of the internet since I'm not very good at patterns, but I feel like it's simple enough I might be able to pull it off.
What does the paid upgrade give you?
>>724626253Mouse controls, voice chat, 12 player online, and 4K resolution. Easy to see why it's only $5 instead of the usual 10.
>>724626380Yeah, I don't really want any of that except the resolution upgrade (and I don't own a 4K device so I don't care that much).Surprised this isn't a free update.
>>724606369You say that, when in pixiv, aka the japs, vastly prefer Frye over Shiver.
>>724626591Post the numbers
>>724599480it's not 60 fps because for some fucking reason nintendo tied game logic to fps like it's the early 2000's
>>724626470More like, I'm kinda surprised the actual good stuff is in the free update and nothing interesting is in the paid one.
>>724606943>game graphics are too intensive to reach 60fps>game is relaxing and therefore does not need 60fps
>>724608250>>soul>buzzwordstopped reading there
>>724627317>thereStopped reading there
I really hope the next game pulls back on the crafting stuff. Keep it as a mechanic but make it less all encompassing. Literally every event in NH boils down to get crafting item and recipes and nothing else. There isn't even fucking snowman bingo.
>>724628227This game sucks, too much liberty sucks, sandbox like mechanics suck. New Leaf will forever be the best animal crossing game.
>>724598091>I bet that guy feels silly now.I doubt that he does. It feels like the game has been an afterthought since it was released. All they're doing with this update is just more decorating. The only fix I saw was being able to put trees/shrubs/flowers into the storage after all these years. Something you could do in New Leaf.
>>724598091Another Switch 2 edition was just announced. I'd rather they just automatically update the Switch 1 games with the improvements like they have done for other titles. So tired of the Switch 2 edition meme
>>724628431New Leaf was the game that gave you the most freedom in the series before NH though
>>724628486He actually arrived in the thread earlier today, first time I've seen such a thing happen.
>>724629031That's a weird one cause mostly it's been first party games to get NS2 edition so far. This game is multiplat so it's only for people who were dumb enough to buy an inferior edition when they could have just got it on PC.
>>724598091desu I don't mind that this update boils down to "more decorating". Most flaws NH has like villagers being bland and lack of progression are too late to fix and I would rather have a new game have those changes where everything is a fresh slate. Just adding some new villager lines or new shop upgrade six years later when everyone's run the game dry isn't going to change much. Might as well just embrace what NH does best and make it the ultimate dollhouseThis update is just a harmless bonus people will play for like a week or two before moving on. And I doubt this would mean that the next AC would take years or guarantee it would be all about decorating. MK8 had the Booster Course pass exist just to tide over fans until MKWorld came out like a year later. And for better and for worse, World went in a different direction than "more MK8"
>>724629658Well actually there were two years between the final wave of the MK8 booster pass and the release of the Switch 2 and MKW with it, but I agree with the premise. It probably wouldn't delay a potential new AC so long that we won't see one on Switch 2 at all, it just might be a couple years.
>>724630049BCP ended late 2023 while World was mid 2025, so a new AC in 2027 isn't too farfetched. Especially since Tomodachi Life and Pokopia also fill similar cozy life sim niches for 2026
>>724598091>can be anything you want to be in this virtual world>still choose to be blackImagine that.
Some people are talking about restarting with a whole new island, but I gotta say, I remember the early game feeling kinda bad, since you have like 2 or 3 villagers, and they get tired of talking to you pretty fast. Unless that changed.
>>724626916Decorating with the mouse sounds really good though
>>724630481Being a true intellectual, I choose it despite being white.
>>724629658>This update is just a harmless bonusI think the LEGO thing could mean more stuff like that in the future if that takes off.
>>724630591No, they didn't change anything about that. I think people who restart the game are insane. That said I do think it takes a LOT of talking for them to actually get angry at you, they have passive aggressive greetings that start up pretty quickly and repeat over and over but the threshold for annoying them so much that they won't talk to you at all is pretty massive.
>>724630591I wouldn't mind resetting my museum progress if the option was available, plus the upcoming reset options would be a great help, but I do agree about everything else being a slog that I wouldn't really think of starting over
>>724630894They've done collabs like this before.7/11 furniture is a great example. The Lego furniture is obviously just a promotional tie-in for the Animal Crossing Lego sets.
>>724598352Based, never give up, king.
The crafting table now asks how many items you want to craft. Did everyone miss that on the video? Few years too late but better than never I guess. I have almost 500 hours on my island and I think I'm not going to even bother with this update
Which is the best AC game? I've been playing the gamecube one and it's pretty cozy. Nook refuses to stock me with a fishing rod though, fuck that guy.
>>724633524gamecube is the best one
>>724633524Depends what you like>Best for talking to villagersGamecube, hands down.>Best for customising the townSwitch, for sure.Personally, I think New Leaf and Wild World are the games I enjoyed the most, but my favourite is Gamecube. Animal Crossing is at it's best when it's a social sim.
>>724620756>pokemon collabUnlikely, TPC is notoriously stingy with it's IP use, even in Nintendo games.There's a handful of Nintendo Games that boast having connectivity with all amiibo Except Pokemon
>>724634081They already have a history of collabing with Pokemon tho.https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Item:Pok%C3%A9mon_Pikachu_(Animal_Crossing)
>>724634628That's really early on, back when TPC didn't pucker that sphincter.
>>724634740They're a lot more open to collabs now than they ever were.What are you talking about?
>>724634893You have any proof of that statement or are you just talking out your ass?
>>724634961Sure.>UNIQLO × Daniel Arsham Collab, 2020>A Bathing Ape × Pokémon Collab, 2020>New Era × Pokémon Collab, 2020>Mizuno & Mikasa × Pokémon Collab, 2020>Zavvi × Pokémon Collab, 2020>Fossil × Pokémon Collab, 2022>PUMA × Pokémon Collab, 2022>A.P.C. × Pokémon Collab, 2023>Hatsune Miku × Pokémon Collab, 2023Now want to show me some official collabs from the year 2002, when Animal Crossing launched?
>zoomers itt pretending this game isn't unplayable trashthey had one way they could have measurably improved this god awful game, by making it 60fps, but they didn't even do that. new boreizons should be the laughingstock of the industry
>>724634961>>724635338Guess he realised he was wrong.
>>724635676Fine
>>724603316I don’t go out of my way to learn things about ecelebs. Who’s this faggot?
>>724635864Concession accepted.
