not at all! i didn’t care for him much when i first saw him in the direct, but now that i’ve met him in-game and have interacted with him, i actually really like him! he’s absolutely adorable, and i like his personality and dialogue as well! he’s definitely become one of my favourite npcs.
I don't really like monkeys - there are a few cute types out there tho and all animals are amazing but I don't think Niko is one of them. Not cute or adorable for me
Ok I actually really like some of them (Tiansheng is a dreamie!) but don’t inherently disagree. It just shows how unfortunate it is that the villager species’ never get expanded to other models (i.e. all monkeys look like x, all wolves look like y etc.) Some species could be so much better if they just updated the base a bit…
Niko IS adorable. Was so hopeful there was a way to adopt him when I saw the trailer. Lol If he was a villager and not a special npc I would’ve wanted him on my island ASAP.
No, you're not alone in thinking Niko precious, I know that I and many people do as well! I'm not into monkey characters in all honesty but his design is super adorable! I love that he's an NPC too and his role in helping you in Happy Home Paradise plus it's great that he's got a sweet personality to match his cute appearance!
