Ghost-catching idea

[Steampunk Mage]

Hey, I've come up with an idea for a new type of critter to catch: Ghosts.

My idea is you use a vacuum to catch them, and you can find them in a wide variety of places (such as possessing furniture items). They'd also be based on spirits from various mythologies.

What do y'all think?

My opinion is that it could have been a nice new dynamic and a cool activity to do during October linking it to halloween

I don't think this would fit in the game at all, sorry. Wisp is good enough.

That's... basically just Luigi's Mansion? I can't see Nintendo recycling gameplay from one of their other franchises to that extent. Maybe an homage here and there like the fortune cookie items in NL or a minigame like the NES games in ACGN, but not just straight-up copying a mechanic to be a permanent feature.

Haha, I thought this was about Wisp at first. As cute as this sounds, I don’t think it fits the general vibe of Animal Crossing. I like how all the “catchable” creatures are based on real-life critters, and this wouldn’t fit that theme. Plus, we’ve already got Wisp.

I would prefer pages (missing manuscripts) to find and collect for the museum on stuff. Could be mythologies or about famous inventors.

It would feel even more unrealistic.

I'd rather they added reptiles such as snakes and lizards to catch, as we have our resident ghost. Wisp.

That'd be awesome.

more museum items, i would definitely love an expansion of our museum with new bugs, fish etc

For Halloween I think it would have been good

 

[Uffe]

I love ghosts, so I'd be down to see more.

We already have wisp but I could see there being a small quest where you have to search for ghost's next halloween. And add scary islands where you can visit and find special items. This would only be for halloween though.

I’d do that, it sounds fun any new activity/game would be great. Ghosts do appeal to me

I like this idea. Or maybe in addition to fossils, you could find artifacts - arrowheads, pieces of pottery, etc.

it’s a nice idea but considering that’s pretty similar to wisp’s mechanic, i don’t really see that ever being added in, unfortunately. that being said, i think it would’ve been cool to have that for halloween! it could’ve even been used to introduce ghost-themed furniture of some sort, which i would’ve definitely loved to see :’^)
