New Leaf was essentially my first Animal Crossing game as well! I did have Wild World but I never got into it. I poured around 700 hours into New Leaf! I also tend to go with the flow to some extent! I do have some general themes in mind though. I've seen some amazing and detailed map planning from some people in the community, but I wouldn't go that far myself without knowing exactly how much can be done with the terraforming!

Did anyone watch the Nintendo Direct today? The new land forming features look amazing!

That's fantastic, I hadn't seen that!

Weren't the villagers the same height in new leaf? Regardless, I do like the look of the taller villagers!

Same here, I feel like I've been waiting for this game forever! I would also like to see amiibo support, it was really fun in the Welcome Amiibo update.

The AC Switch is so nice! I was hoping they'd put some sort subtle of animal crossing pattern on the joycon, instead of just plain blue and green. But they don't seem to have done anything like that for any joycon, as far as I'm aware.

I haven't pre-ordered yet because I haven't decided where to get it from! I was originally going to pre-order from Target, because I thought the pre-order bonus was cute (it was a journal) but now when I look online, it won't let me pre-order anymore. I'll probably end up pre-ordering from GameStop.

I was surprised to find that there wasn't already a discussion thread for Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Do you plan on purchasing this installment when it releases in March? What plans do you have for your island?

Update. As of right now, if you try to access the link to the website, it will no longer take you there, and will redirect you to the github project page instead. I've seen rumors that Luc has stopped working on this project because he was afraid of getting involved in a potential lawsuit from Bandai.

I've heard V3's can live forever if you take good enough care of them! The farthest I've gotten is around 30 I think. Here's a growth chart!

Yeah, you could say that, since a major point seems to be collecting things (hence the name "atsume"). I just think it's fair to call it a v-pet since you still are taking care of the sumikko gurashi characters like pets! I wonder what defines a v-pet if it being a pet isn't enough? Regardless, I would be very interested to see more modern devices similar to this with focus on being a cohesive game that you could complete over a longer period of time.

I understand that! I worry I might lose interest since I know it's supposed to be very easy to care for, and I don't think you can die at all. But from what I've seen, the games look really fun, and the mechanic of shaking it to make things happen occasionally looks really unique!
