If the Island Returns...

[Zelda5820]

If the island returns in Animal crossing switch, (which it should, that'd be depressing if it doesn't), what new features would you like to see?

Everything about the Island I love in new leaf. I love club tortimer, going with friends, playing mini games, unique currency etc.

But one of my ideas is to expand the island and make it bigger like in the gamecube version. The switch could definitely handle it. And unique to this island would be two Cabanas, one that the player can decorate, and another inhabited by a Tropical villager. This is how it functioned in the Gamecube version, and I really liked it.

For club tortimer, the Player house would just be decorated by Nintendo and perhaps changed every so often. The villager on the club tortimer Island could also be either Tortimer or Kappn.


Another thing is that I wish they would make it so you could use your silver/golden tools on the Island. Perhaps once you unlock them in game, you unlock the ability to rent them on the island as well. You just can't put silver/golden tools in the drop box to prevent duplication or trading.

Make it possible to save your game on the island. If you have a personal island hut and save and quit on the island, your character will automatically come out of the hut on the island, as if it were a vacation.

What about having more than one islander? Or being able to bring one animal along with you to visit the island too

 

[Khaelis]

Would be cool if there were multiple islands you could visit and you could befriend them over time, eventually asking them to move to your town.

I love the island the way it is.
Maybe add more attractions.

I wouldn't want the animals there because it's like an escape where you can relax and not have to deal with task requests.

Yes make the island bigger with a hut we can decorate. Unlock items and PWP for the island with medals or upgrade with bells.

If Club Tortimer comes back they need to make that island bigger. The ACNL CT island is too small for 4 players to catch bug/fish.
The diving tour island is big and would be perfect for 4 players. PWP outside would be nice for those that like to sit and chat.

An island villager could be fun for those wanting to unlock that. It would be nice to take a villager to the island and play some tours with them. Some talk about the island a lot in ACNL.

I would love to have a little hut that we could decorate on the island. Even better if it was upgradable and we could make it our little home away from home. I also agree that the island needs to be a little bigger. It just feels so small for four people to run around on.

I think ability to decorate the island more would be very nice. In New Leaf we can only plant trees, flowers and bushes on it. There could be some PWP to build (maybe some island exclusive).

How about a beach cafe on the island, which you and also your friends can visit and where you
can also work there? Like a cafe in a tropical style, which sells cocktails and lemonade instead of
coffee. And the owner could be a parrot. You know, like a counterpart to Brewseter and his cafe.

Maybe we could occasionally see one of your villagers wandering around the island like you do when you see them on mainstreet.

That would be really fun and really cute! Instead of a takeout coffee cup it could be a half coconut with a straw and an umbrella! Of course, the more carry around food items the better.

I would love:
* Having the cabins back to decorate from the gamecube version.
* Ability of playing minigames by yourself or online and earn medals (or some other token) to buy rewards with.
* Bringing over special characters to the island (like Pelle, Pete, Tom Nook, Isabelle, Blathers etc.) through amiibo. Just like you can summon them in to the campsite. Just giving them a day of vacation would be awesome.
* Giving Kapp'n a house or his own shop (and his boat of course).
* A bit bigger Island, Gamecube size would be awesome.
* The ability of planting flowers and trees on the island and also cutting them (so you can create a money making machine), but without losing the charm of the island (it's a big thing with the current island: mine is so blend with no flowers or bushes and 4 trees, just to get the best bugs).
* Villagers can visit the island. Your own villagers or random villagers. You can play minigames with them and maybe convince them to visit your campsite in your town (if we say that's in it again, then you can invite them to live with you).

What I would hate:
*The return of club Tortimer (but I'm pretty sure it will return considering Switch Online services).
* Not having random villagers visit the island (like now).

Honestly, it would be anything you mentioned BUT club tortimer. I have an idea though where you could take a vacation to the island where you stay there for a few days (or however long you'd like). In New Leaf, the things you could really do was catch bugs, go on tours, online, and that's pretty much it. If you think about those things, you couldn't make the most of the island if only, coming and going. What I'm saying is, why not utilize the island to better fit the relaxation?

I like this idea, you could also make it a spot where you can go if you don't feel like playing for a while and your villagers will just assume that you've gone away for a long time instead of being worried about you disappearing for 2 months. I think you would still have the possibility of getting weeds and cockroaches but at least your villagers would be happy.

I think that along with an island that is perpetually summer, there should be a variant where it is perpetually winter.

Also, I think you should be able to run your own resort where other villagers can visit.

 

[PrismaticVoid]

I would want the shop majorly expanded upon. The minigames are fun and all, but there's not a lot worth buying unless you love the mermaid/cabana sets, or get super lucky and get a silver axe/hammer in stock. I hate how one of the three slots for items will always be taken up by the Club Tortimer membership, even if everyone in your town already has one. Maybe stock at least four items/two pieces of furniture at a time, expand the selection a bit, add some new furniture sets into the mix, and move buying Club Tortimer membership over to speaking to the lady at the front desk.

 

[Relly]

I'd love them to bring back the beach hut that your player can decorate and the islander, but also I like the mini games

 

[GoldenKaraSus]

I was thinking of a tour in which the entire island was sandy, and you were given a type of rake so you could rake for seashells, beach glass, bottled messages, and other things that would wash up on the beach(Not Gulliver though). I was also thinking of a Club Tortimer where you could play with maybe twenty or more players at the same time.

 

[LambdaDelta]

choice between a perpetual summer, autumn, winter, or spring island

What about having more than one islander? Or being able to bring one animal along with you to visit the island too

yes, bring back islanders a la gamecube crossing

 

[smonikkims]

Honestly kinda wanna own the island! I know there wouldn't be much of a gameplay difference for being allowed to own it but I personally would just like that. xD
