Animal Crossing We wanted a Horizon as well

Somehow Balla missed a thread of the biggest game from the Direct and likely part from Pokemon Gen 8 the biggest Switch game of 2019 it what you'd think will be in the Odyessy and SMASH spot as the big E3 centrepiece.

I'm just really excited but still dam you Nintendo for that troll.

I think you're going to be in the minority with that opinion there, andyman....

I've never understood why andy hates Animal Crossing, as he loves having set goals and things to tick off in games and AC is quite good at providing that.

I'm sure every gamer had an irrational hatred for some game - take me for example, I bloody hate Mega Man, it's absolutely shite and just the worst bollocks imaginable.

A disliking to Animal Crossing is a bit easier to rationalise though: some folk just don't take any satisfaction from it or it's set-up at all.

Andy hates animal crossing because he cant rush to the end.
Anyway, yeah, turns out its worth being alive in 2019 now

Trolling aside I might actually give this a go, I've only properly tried the Wii one long after it was cool. I'll give it a go when the hype is high and on a platform that isn't an actual effort to turn on and see how I feel then.

That's true, it just always seemed like a very Andyman game to me.

That's good you'are willing to give it another go at least, like I said above I think it it fits your personality so it'll be interesting to see what you make of it once it's out.

Till now I would have said it was right up Andy's street.

This is me too. I'm going to try and play it at a sensible pace this time, maybe mix it up with some other games. I binged on insect-catching with New Leaf, which likely didn't help, as I burned out early.

That said, I really do hope they do something about the generic personality types. The villagers become exactly the same after they've learned your catchphrases and bought your junk.

Wow. Im legitimately impressed we had nine replies before Balla trotted out his one Animal Crossing opinion.

This was a mighty troll wasn't it? I genuinely thought Tom Nook was about to be added to Smash as well.

I'll save my wants for the game for later on but if ever there was a perfect game for the Switch it's this (after Pokemon).

This was what I was going to say! Here's hoping Britain hasn't actually crumbled economically by that stage #CrazyReddVotedForBrexit

I can't wait for this. Can't wait. Andy is a silly man.

Can't wait.

Can't. Wait.

What do people want? I'd like to have a City hub which is the main online component with a social gathering outside your villages.

Ah come on!

I was going to mention some of the other opinions I had about AC (give us more sub-plots in town, some more places outside the town to explore etc.)... then I realised I was basically describing Ever Oasis.  The campaign for Ever Oasis Switch starts here!  (The very small campaign.)

I honestly don't feel like I need any changes. That said, I would welcome everything you boys are suggesting. I would imagine online functionalityis gonna be a focus here in a big way.

Also, tagline.

I think the only Animal Crossing I played properly was Wild World, which was fine and all but I wasn't totally engaged with it as the lack of any clear objectives bothered me at the age I played it and I didn't have any mates with the game to enjoy the multiplayer aspect with.

New Leaf looked like it was more up my alley in terms of having objectives to work towards, but even if the Switch game stripped a lot of that away, I don't think I'd be bothered. Thanks to games like Tomodachi Life, I've grown to enjoy games with no actual objective to work towards. Still, I can't see them stripping anything away - the likelihood is that they'll add more to the game. Couple that with a healthy crowd picking up here and I can see me giving this a fair crack of the whip this time.

I've been reading the above, and I'm trying to think of what new things I'd want. I don't really know - they started off the "customise your town" vibe with New Leaf; maybe this could be extended somewhat... ultimately I just want Bob the cat to be my friend.

Stuff thinking up taglines myself, I'm just going to stalk Jimbob around the forum and nick my favourite line from each of his posts.

Not a town anymore as you get your own island in March 2020

I have nothing else to say at this stage. Pole-vaulting looks cool I suppose.

Yeah as Anthem turned out great

That's not Nintendo though.

I bet there is one though which is bad
