I made a mockup of what an in-game social media app would look like!

Haha that's very quotable!

I just imagine that Peanut is living on a very gassy island

Peanut: HOW ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT FRUIT?! All this island has is beans...and a TON of them! xD

Would have been amazing to have miiverse in new horizons, but I understand why they wouldn't touch that again, as much as I loved the service there were a lot of crazy **** going on there haha

This would be so cool! ❤

Then I could stalk Raymond on social media

Yeah, an Animal Crossing and Splatoon focused social media service would be awesome, since it would be more centralized on JUST Animal Crossing and Splatoon would work well.

I think this would be waaaay better than the Best Friends app which I literally forgot about until someone mentioned it in this thread lolol

Yeah, I tend to use the best friend app, but not often. I do think if they went through this approach it would work really well.

And honestly? They could just make it between friends to filter it a bit and the filters are already pretty decent on Animal Crossing (I mean they could be better but I still wanna jokingly call my friends mean names LOL)

Okay but imagine Nookazon in the game. You could immediately message a seller in game about their item and purchase it through the app.

My thoughts exactly! This is how I envisioned it would work.

Someone get Nintendo on the phone ASAP this is huge

EDIT: All jokes aside I love this! I want it in my game :/ Good thinking!

Reminds me of the social media in Tiny Tower!! This would be a fun addition to the game, but only if they had a lot of unique "tweets"

This is how I would imagine it as well! I can imagine all the preppy villagers spamming fancams of KK Slider all over the timeline and in the comments of every post saying "stan kk slider for high turnip prices " lol. I can also imagine cranky villagers just posting stuff like "How do I delete a post?" or "WHY IS EVERYTHING I TYPE IN CAPITAL LETTERS?"

 

[Underneath The Stars]

these would have been SOOOO fun... SOMEONE CONTACT NINTENDO

 

[twins]

You could use it to keep up with the villagers that moved away!

 

[usa-chan]

awww, this is so cute and creative! i would love for nintendo to implement an app like this in the game, i can see peppy and smug villagers trying to grow their popularity with their posts!

I made a mock-up! I had the idea when I saw Skye pull out her phone. Villagers could post there, but also you could see your friend's in-game photos and statuses! It could be really fun and cool. What do y'all think? Anything you would add?

Super cute!!!! Hopefully we get something like this.
