    What are your hopes for the next Animal Crossing game?

    reposting what I said upthread because I ultimately think doing a big wishlist of stuff treats the stuff that's in Animal Crossing as just Content that's been put there because "hey, it's a good idea" rather than stuff that has a specific purpose... but at the same time, I can't resist going...

    Successor to the Switch to be announced this fiscal year

    it's extremely funny that a) there's a year at best between them being able to make enough PS5s so retailers could actually sell them (and not just get a few in every month then have empty display boxes and out of stock labels) and them dropping the PS5 slim (one of the biggest factors in me...

    Successor to the Switch to be announced this fiscal year

    Woke up to Pyoro retweeting the NCL announcement and somehow managed to still be surprised by the announcement a little, given I knew that Nintendo's investor meeting was today, have been keeping a firm eye on the current rumours, and the Switch's library for this year gives a distinct "end of...

    Do you miss these crabs?

    there's a list of cut creatures I really miss: the pine cricket, the rainbow trout, the giant petaltail, the eel, maybe even the giant catfish... but I definitely miss the crab you can catch with the net from e+, and I don't recall encountering it in e+ yet! Bring it back in the Animal...

    What part of the Nintendo Switch do you find to be the most disappointing?

    Tooie is probably also coming at some point given the Rare deal, but hard disagree about having Virtual Console back. It felt overpriced (digital copies of retro games are generally devalued given Emulation Is A Thing, but even so... why were NES games around £5?), and it didn't transfer between...

    What part of the Nintendo Switch do you find to be the most disappointing?

    Come on, they're bound to release DK64 eventually, they did on Wii U VC and they’ve made a big deal about the fact that they’re releasing Rare titles that they haven’t rereleased before due to the deal with Microsoft, like Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps and freakin’ GoldenEye. It’s going to...

    Artwork Official Nintendo Patterns (2012-2016)

    hi, I posted this over a year ago but forgot to ask: has anybody got these two cutouts saved at all? Would have been in Nintendo's official town around about July 2013 (these pics were taken in September, saved the Charlie one but didn't save Alph and Brittany)

    Is New Leaf's dialogue better than New Horizons?

    Exactly! I genuinely don't get the argument that it's worse in NH. Maybe before they fixed it, sure. Maybe before they added more dialogue.... but can I get some proof? Somebody? Some screenshots? A little description of something? Because this is the kind of thing that generally needs a bit of...

    Least favourite feature in the entire series so far?

    the hats that you wear in GC (actual hats are so, so much better. Doesn't help that the boy's one is ugly) Flea Market (villagers randomly visiting you is a much, much better version of it, because at least they're not barging in and trying to buy Literally Everything You Own. Don't get the hate...

    What kind of minigames do you hope they add in future games?

    once again, increasingly feel as if Tortimer Island's minigames are mostly comprised of stuff you can do online anyway if you're creative enough. Competitive fishing, competitive bug catching, competitive finding a specific colour of flowers... if not for the Whack-A-Cornimer On A Mower, the...

    I would love to experience a modern 'classic' Animal Crossing experience

    Would I actually like to see a modern classic Animal Crossing? Honestly, I've got pretty complicated feelings about it. On one hand, Animal Crossing as a series turned 23 on the 14th of April, with the Japanese release of NL increasingly near the middle of it (looked it up, that date's on the...

    Is New Leaf's dialogue better than New Horizons?

    Asked at the time, unfortunately there isn’t anything similar for GC, WW and LGTTC as of yet. One day, hopefully. But for now, we’re just gonna have to open up emulators and make screenshots of anything good.

    Is New Leaf's dialogue better than New Horizons?

    That reminds me, there's an actual website (with thanks to randomacman in the Nookipedia Discord server): NL: https://acnl-msbt-explorer.aeonsake.com/ NH: https://acnh-msbt-explorer.aeonsake.com/

    Is New Leaf's dialogue better than New Horizons?

    generally confused as to how NL's dialogue, which was mercilessly criticised for being repetitive and bland for a good 6 years at least, is now somehow better than NH's, a game where eventually, eventually they made it so dialogue's less likely to repeat, and while it's not the villagers sassing...
