Oh my god finally! I can’t wait!!

 

[smonikkims]

Ngl there wasn't actually anything else that excited me besides AC Switch in this direct. I was gonna go away really disappointed if not for that announcement. I agree that I was pretty sure there would be an AC Switch but I think everyone wanted to see it realised, because there were plenty of people convinced there would be an AC Wii U too haha!

 

[Laureline]

I'm not going to get too excited just yet. I was sorta hoping they wouldn't announce anything this direct because I'm not ready to leave new leaf. I also don't have a switch or the money for one. Don't mean to be a downer or anything.

I am hoping they dedicate a whole direct on the switch ac. Until then I'll reserve my hopes for it.

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Lol, I’ll just be standing in the corner Switch-less. But enjoy your new game, guys! I’m so glad Nintendo finally decided to make what its fans have been begging for.

 

[ali.di.magix]

I think overall this was a pretty good Direct, and not just because of AC lol. There was a lot of focus on their big series. It was good to see more about the Yoshi game and Super Mario Party. I'm glad there's an online component of Mario Party, it's a shame that it's minigames only though. And omg, Luigi's Mansion for Switch yaaaaas!

They probably will closer to time, sometime next year.

In a way, I know how you feel about not having a Switch. But at the same time, New Leaf has been out for over 5 years. It'll be about 6 years by the time the game actually releases. That's a REALLY long time for a mainline game for most franchises.

I remember last week, I set up a wishlist on what I want in the Direct. A new AC game announcement is the only thing on my wishlist that appeared in the direct. The others are unrealistic or not realistic for the time.

The only other games that appeal to me are Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee and the new Mario Party.

The fact that the 3DS is only getting remakes right now shows that original titles for the 3DS has reached the end of the era. But at least it’s still getting new games.

 

[Bread Kennedys]

HOLY **** AC SWITCH
ISABELLE IS IN SMASH BROS.
LUIGI'S MANSION 3
FF7, FF9 AND FF10 ON SWITCH

The Nintendo Online service is a massive disappointment but we already knew about this before so it's nothing new. Otherwise I'm happy with pretty much everything else they talked about.

 

[Minto]

The direct finally delivered what we've wanted all along.

 

[Elijo]

FINALLY

Now to save up for a Switch lmao

 

[Hyrule_Crossing]

IM SO HYPED

 

[Tri]

Well, I was saying for the longest time I wanted a Switch but also only wanted three games on it... let's consider four my threshold.

I'm not 100% sold on AC Switch yet, though. I'm going to follow it closely to make sure doesn't become a Let's Go situation and take too much inspiration from PC...

Who am I kidding, it's going to be so exciting to play a game at launch with you all!

 

[Mr_Persona]

Why are you on an Animal Crossing forum? haha. With all respect!

I don't mind if they don't announce an Animal Crossing game during this direct. I'm pretty content since Smash is coming out in a few months. I really don't have the attention span for too many games at once, and coming late into the 3DS game, there are plenty of titles I'm interested in playing before dedicating all my time and attention for another Animal Crossing title. Either way, I imagine they will highlight something Smash related in this direct, among other things.

I can be welcome on the forum anytime any1 can be on belltree.
So sush up about me I don't need to be a ACNL fan just to be on the forums.

Will we have to pay to connect?

 

[-Apples-]

I don’t mind spending money to log into Nintendo’s servers for a whole year. I spent more on many things before. Even in 2018.

It just doesn't make much sense if you're on a forum dedicated to Animal Crossing and you don't even care about it ^^;
But yeah just come on in where ya want (no sarcasm intended)

I'm sure we will, since it costs money to play online now. Though their price seems very reasonable for a year, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Look people don't need to be a fan of something just to join a group, look the only AC game I play is ACNL and I will stick with acnl. Example I play kirby games but it doesn't mean I'm a fan of kirby and same thing with MH games, I played them but I'm not a fan of MH.

 

[Midoriya]

I missed watching the announcement today because studying ****** me over big time. I’m excited, but I still have to get my hands on a Switch, hopefully this Christmas.

Anyway, I quoted this because I was wondering it as well. If we have to pay to connect, I guess the price isn’t a problem, but if the servers are shoddy like others mentioned then I wonder if it will be difficult to stay connected? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Will we have to pay to connect?

We probably will have to pay. But at least it's only $20 a year, which is basically only $1.70 a month.
