Hello all! So if you had to pick 5 new things that you would like to see in ACNH in order, what would they be? Perhaps there's a villager that didn't make it to new leaf you would like to see again. Or maybe you would like new and different powers as mayor. Maybe there will be new elements incorporated from pocket camp and HHD. Share your thoughts and top 5!
 
1. I would like to build custom facilities in my town. Say like if I were to design a shop, not only would I design the interior design and decide what’s being sold, but I would also choose the operating hours and who works there. And if I pick a regular villager to work there, it’s not possible for them to move out.

2. I would like houses to have a total of 11 rooms (three 12x8 rooms and four 8x8 rooms per floor except basement). This could give you more room to think about how you design houses.

3. If the Museum is making a comeback, I would like to have new exhibits such as a geological exhibit.

4. More mini-games like ACNL Puzzle League.

5. Wallet size to be expanded to 999,999 Bells.
 
1. New gyroids! Let us place them outside, too.
2. Animals have more dialogue lines and have less predictable algorithms for saying them. I want to hear something new every time I talk to an animal neighbor.
3. More interactivity with furniture for players and animal neighbors. Let almost everything that would have a use be used by the animals, like in Pocket Camp.
4. Gyroid-based furniture, like maybe a gyroid shrine
5. A traveling carnival / circus holiday that comes every few months to a year.
 
1. Be able to interact with villagers freely, such as helping or giving them things on your own will whenever you want.

2. Having many special events like New Leaf

3. Being able to trade or give items to other players without going to their town

4. Being able to friend people just inside ACNH

5. Being able to have previous Villagers Remember you from New Leaf ( I know this can't happen but would be so cool if it did)!

A carnival would be so cool!

Oh my gosh, a trading system would be so convenient. Maybe posting from your island to another would be cool, but with the ability to attach several presents and not just one.

I've been wanting a travelling carnival for so long.
 
1. New kinds of bushes and trees. I hope they will make berry bushes...
2. New villagers / new species
3. More freedom with how big you want each room to be. I didn't like how we'd have to make the main room the biggest upgrade before making other rooms.
4. Rooms with different dimensions like in HHD.
5. Carpets
 
In no particular order.

1. Animals be able to wear everything from dresses to skirts and shorts. Not fussed on shoes/accessories, but I do hate how all varieties of tees just become sleeveless tees in ACNL.

2. Choice of northern/southern hemisphere setting. Let me experience AC's winter during Australias winter!

3. Real life weather sync. I find the games to be extra enjoyable when the weather matches what I'm seeing outdoors IRL.

4. Let me place patterns under a buildings door (I do hate it that much that it takes a spot here lol)

5. Bring back notes in a bottle, Boondox and flea market days from WW. Oh, and the dump from the GC game.
 
1. Lots of multiplayer mini-games to really make multiplayer worthwhile.
2. A variety of new fruit, bugs, fish, and other collectables with the introduction of vegetables as a new farming source.
3. A cavern exploration feature where mining can Accor, or treasure hunts.
4. Import/export system for selling/buying and trading island goods for a steady earned income.
5. New kinds of trees and introduction of new types of forestry like bushes, vines, etc.

I only have 1.

Please don't suck.

But honestly, just don't cut furniture or villagers from previous games.
 
1. New species
2. Cooking
3. Ability to disable visitors from vandalism and stealing
4. Real time events
5. Random forfeits for time travelling eg shut the airport, Jambette moves in.
 
1. My favourite villagers being available
2. Amiibo cards having the same compatibility as NL for inviting villagers
3. More dialogue for villagers
4. A little more polish such as being able to delete multiple letters at once
5. Holidays/weather that are matched to the area of the world you live - I'd love for the Harvest Festival to actually be on Thanksgiving for me and snow not to disappear months before it does in real life
 
1. All the new fancy items from Pocket Camp should be available (especially the wings)

2. Remove that dumb rule that cedar trees can only grow on the north part of your town.
I finally want a town full of cedar trees only

3. Different shaped rooms, having all the time those boring square shaped rooms sucks

4. New hair styles, like long hair for the boys for example

5. Bring back the observatory!

5. Random forfeits for time travelling eg shut the airport, Jambette moves in.
My town could be full of Jambette clones and it wouldn't stop me from time traveling. :P

So agreed on cooking! Though the tt things would be a pain for speedruners.

Top 5:
5: Observatory
4: Expand on the coffee minigame.
3: Wii u / 3ds / possibly nintendo switch? Can be displayed on TV, and you can play those games on multiplayer, and they can watch you. Better yet, multiplayer minigames like desert island escape, acpl, and the cafe minigames to be multiplayer
2: PLEASE LET RESETTI AND DON BE IN THIS GAME I BEG OF YOU NINTENDO
1: Cooking MINIGAME. Not like the cafe from nl, but you press certain buttont to prevent the food from burning/being undercooked. And you could give your meals to dr shrunk

I would love to see new species so bad! Hahaha lol, I love that Jambette moving in would be a punishment for time travelling.

These are great points! Haven't thought of the rooms one before! I would love to see a lighthouse style house. Could have a lot of fun with differently shaped rooms. 100% agree with the observatory.
 
1. Most important to me is if they added more variety to the dialogue and bring back the edge it lost after WW. Please make mean characters mean and not all the same puppet personality. :(

2. More item storage. Enough to compensate for the new items too. I liked the bookbag idea I read from someone else here where you could hypothetically add extra items there, and even better if they Connect to your closet!

3. More villagers! Please add more than 10 villagers like in the gcn. It makes for more variety in tasks and dialogue.

4. More town events! Like in the gcn version where you could do morning stretches and q bunch of other stuff. And random balls appear that villagers could kick. :d

5. A bigger town! Please it's getting kinda dull to walk in just one small area all day. Divide.the island into many sections that you can explore for longer.

There's other stuff I'd wish for like bringing back the recycling bin or area, but those 5 are the ones I wish for the most!

It won't happen though. :(

I agree with all but I don't get what #5 is proposing. Is it punishing time travelers? :(
 
1. More item storage!
2. Expanded dialogue for villagers. I don't want a repeat of NL's dialogue.
3. Villagers being able to wear accessories such as hats, glasses, etc.
4. Being able to place shrubs right next to buildings.
5. Being able to choose the colours of PWPS if they come back. Example: instead of a red brick bridge it could be changed to blue, or yellow.
 
Most of them aren't really "new", but here is my list:

1) Continued freedom to time travel, unimpeded by any new mechanics that might be implemented. I've been utilizing time travel since the GameCube game and it's the only way I can really enjoy the game to the fullest. Hopefully it should be the same as it always has been, but topics here in the past have raised the specter of the possibility of them messing with that. Don't know why it bothers and offends people how others get enjoyment out of their own games considering it does no harm to you, ourselves, or anyone else. We're not doing anything that needs to be punished.

2) Increasing the villager limit from 10 up to between 12 to 15 or a few more. I want to have as many villagers as I can in this game, as the 10 in New Leaf always felt too limiting.

3) More robot villagers. I love Ribbot and Sprocket and I want more robots. I hope someday that we will have a robot for every species.

4) More hairstyles, more eye colors.

5) Bring back more of the old villagers that didn't make the cut in the main game or even in the Welcome Amiibo update, like Aziz and Quetzal.


---

Additionally, here is a bunch of stuff I'd love for them to do that they won't implement in this game or probably any of them in the future:

Instead of building a house, why not let us expand our starting tent into a multi-room tent? They exist, and it would allow for more creativity and personality in our towns. You won't get a second floor or basement, but you account for that when you make that decision.

Please let me cover up the windows in rooms. It breaks the illusion to have this fancy, sometimes elaborate wallpaper and then have these clunky, ugly windows smack in the middle of the wall. The basement is the superior room of the house in these games since it's the only room without windows, aside from the main room once you'd added the side rooms.

Allow us to simultaneously use hats and accessories when wearing a Mii Mask. I dislike having to choose between them.

Give us the ability to grow rafflesia. Furthermore, I want the ability to grow multiple of them instead of just one and I want to keep them without having to choose between having one or having a terrible, underdeveloped town without Public Works Projects.
 
1. More inventory / wallet space. (Inventory space is confirmed, I believe).
2. Bring back more events at the plaza, like La-Di-Day and morning aerobatics.
3. New villagers, but don't remove any old ones please, Nintendo.
4. New native fruits.
5. More villager mini-games like hide n seek.
 
1. Mosquito Repellent/Bug Spray in the Summer. I am so tired of saving and continuing or opening my gates just to get rid of the mosquitoes. Bug Spray would be awesome.
2. Morning Aerobics. I loved waking up, getting on Animal Crossing, and seeing my villagers do the morning aerobics. It was also fun watching them play the games like Tug of War and the one where they had to shoot the balls into the basket.
3. Nook's Raffles at the end of each month. It was so cool participating in the raffles and I always looked forward to them at the end of the month even though it was annoying having to carry the tickets around sometimes.
4. More interaction/dialogues from the villagers. I'd love to see them like they were in Population Growing- but that would be too harsh and mean. I just hope Cranky Villagers are actually rude until you climb up the friendship ladder and they begin to open up. That would be amazing :D
5. Items from Pocket Camp, please! I don't play Pocket Camp- but the items are gorgeous. Especially the ones from each villagers little fortune cookie set.
