Thought there would be a thread about this. Anyone here interested? There was a great direct about it today. I’m getting all the AC merch!

I cannot wait! Although not sure how to play it around the toddler lol! I used to play it non stop will definitely be a challenge this time around!
It looks amazing I love all the detail that has gone into this one and customising the island!

Oh wow. Thanks for replying. Thought nobody was going to! I am at fever pitch with excitement which is really nice. Don't have much reason to be excited about anything generally. I'm really looking forward to the day, getting it with my son and playing all day. Just planning to go to some events too. There's one in Nottingham.

O wow really I didn’t know they did events! That will be lovely you can both play together. It’s just such a lovely game a good escape from reality 😊 I just keep watching the direct atm

Hayb24 · 23/02/2020 21:59

I cannot wait for this to come out!
I used to play all of the previous ones and have always loved them. It looks so great!

DesLynamsMoustache · 23/02/2020 22:04

YourStarlessEyes · 24/02/2020 15:51

Im looking forward to it too! Love AC.

tribpot · 24/02/2020 16:03

I'm looking forward to this too, I love Animal Crossing. Definitely thinking about the themed Switch.

NeilTheBaby · 24/02/2020 21:54

Oooo came looking for a thread on animal crossing and I've found one Grin
I've just bought a switch lite so I can play animal crossing. Having watched Nintendo's video I am so excited! Ordered two point hospital which also looks amazing to keep me going until animal crossing arrives. I love the landscaping options so you can customise the water and cliffs and things.

It’s such a lovely game that brings people together. I can’t wait to get all the fruits!

I am so excited for this game!

ElfAndSafety1 · 26/02/2020 06:58

I've found my people! I was beginning to think I was the only adult excited about this game. Had it on pre order since January Grin

RasberryRoyale · 26/02/2020 07:01

@ElfAndSafety1Definitely not! I got a switch for this game. I still play the old Animal Crossings. It’s just such a nice chill game.

Hayb24 · 27/02/2020 13:55

I really wish that the older Animal Crossing games would also be available to play on the switch. I used to have the ones for the DS & 3DS, The New Leaf & Wild World ones, and would love to be able to play them againGrin

Bardockgurl · 28/02/2020 19:20

The whole family cannot wait for this - after the latest direct, I was stupid enough to pre-order and download the game.
Now, every time I'm on my Switch home screen , there it is... It's TORTURE! weeps

I'm going to be there, at midnight on the 20th salivating and raring to go :D
Then I'll have to find out how to cheat so I can get Ankha and Wolfgang on my island :D

Amiibo cards! You should be able to get them from eBay. Ankha and Wolfgang's may be a bit pricey, though, as I've found that the ones for more popular animals tend to be. I got the ones for Beau and Tangy a couple of years ago and I am so excited to use them!

Bardockgurl · 29/02/2020 17:27

Bangs head on desk
Of course!
I forgot all about Amiibo cards.
I'm so used to cheating my way through New Leaf with Home Brew, that's where my train of thought was going...
Worst thing is, I got Ankha and Wolfgang's cards for Mother's day last year... Blush

Now they seem to have made the grass all plush and lovely with no bare patches, I won't even need to cheat anymore!
I WANT IT NOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!

Bluebutterfly90 · 29/02/2020 17:29

I'm super excited about this!
Also I'm so jealous of the new themed switch. I have the Pokemon themed one but the Animal Crossing one is so much cuter!

Pandamoore · 01/03/2020 17:04

So excited - how dare this year have the audacity to be a leap year and make us wait an extra day for it?!? Lol

I wonder how many animal villagers we will get to have in our towns? I'm hoping at least 12 but the most I've seen in clips is 8.

Do you think we need the nintendo subscription? It says for some features but I'm not sure what. The holiday updates maybe? Hope not..

Pandamoore · 01/03/2020 17:11

Who does everyone want in their town btw? I am hoping for Vladimir!

And cherry/orange trees.

RasberryRoyale · 01/03/2020 17:41

I think we will need the nintendo sub for online play with other people.

I’m hoping for Bob, Nan or Static in my town. I have so many favourites!

TeaAndTrifle · 03/03/2020 18:39

I'm so excited about this as well! Me and my DH both have Switches so have ordered a copy each Blush

I LOVE the look of the AC themed Switch but can't justify the money buying it even with trading my current one in. I heard in Japan they're going to sell the themed joycons separately so am hoping they do the same in the UK or at least be able to source them easily.

Pandamoore · 03/03/2020 19:34

Yeh I couldn't justify the spend either, though they are adorable.

Was just thinking,if corona virus hits and we all have to self isolate... ...well on the bright side- that's two weeks to play animal crossing yay! I'll be doing a Monica and be like 'I'm not sick!' even if I'm at deaths door I think haha.

tribpot · 05/03/2020 18:45
- the game looks fab.
