Super Name My Island Ultimate

"Go Suarez, cowabunga dude!"

Unfortunately they were spelt with a "ph".

What's Rafa?

He's either beyond stupid, or an utterly awesome troll.

Now that's what I call a bump!

Animal Crossing is finally coming to the Switch and so I'll once again be relying on the internet to name my Town (or Island I guess). I'll do the same as last time, a CPU Smash Bros Tournament because if it was human controlled then I'd just ask Jay directly what to name it. Each person picks a representative for their town name and I'll aim to actually record or stream the tournament this time to make it more interesting. I'll even throw in a £5 Amazon Voucher so people might care.

Now with New Horizons having a silly rule where it's one Island per console I've given my girlfriend the option of putting a name in seeing as she'll have to live with it, she's opted for the rather egotistical Cloville and chose Pikachu as her fighter. I'm also automatically including the previous winner and source of some great puns which was Bumend represented by Fox, this also means Jimbob technically gets 2 picks.

All Ultimate characters are available including the DLC and even Sans and Cuphead if you wish. I anticipate/dread to see what names everyone puts forward.

One island per console? What?

Surely you can have your own save file if you're playing on a different account?

You all live on the same island

Also Brexit Island with Joker

You can have 8 different villagers, but one island per console. WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE THAT'S THE POINT OF ANIMAL CROSSING, TO SHARE THINGS (uh-oh, this is probably an argument for another day!)

I'd feel bad it being called Bumend now that you have a littl'n with which you may have to guard from bad words in the next few years. I'd better defeat my previous self and save your soul! Here, we were trying to think, now it's an island, of a pun version of a famous British island. Therefore, my suggestion is the Isle of Shight. Er... Banjo and Kazooie as the fighters.

That's such a nonsensical restriction. "Hey - want to make your own village? Buy another Switch!" is a bad look for a system that ostensibly has user accounts.

The /inclusion/ of the 8 people locally sharing an island is great, but it should be an option, not mandated. I will definitely argue against it being fine - surely half the fun is in designing your village layout and choosing which villagers you live with!

I was reading this thread in the staff room earlier on, not paying attention to a story my colleague was telling about her Dad going into a care home. I get to this quote and burst out laughing just as she gets to an emotional part of her story. My boss wasn't impressed, and I don't think my colleague will talk to me again for a while. I couldn't even explain the situation, I was hardly going to say 'yeah, someone online said do a toilet roll seven years go'.

I've got to pay tribute to Dusty Knackers with my town name nomination: I'd like to name your town Plopton, and I'll go Sonic The Hedgehog in the tournament 

I was funnier back then.

I've shunted this thread into the Switch sub-forum for obvious reasons. I would like you to call your village: MASOFDAS. All caps.* I'll be represented by Greninja, in a tribute to Jas' fine drawing way back when and the emoji's tongue.



*If Christopher Pengilly objects to this choice I'll happily have a rethink.

Why?

Town names are a max of 8 letters IIRC.
Your username is 8 letters.

...er, that's really it. Also the idea of Treesmurf waking up in a town called MASOFDAS makes me giggle. Like I said, I'll happily come up with another idea if you're not keen!

Haven't got any issues, just seemed odd

I’ll take Hero and I look forward to visiting Gashland

Mingeton will be your town name and King K. Rool will be its unofficial mayor.

I think that might be worse   I did grow attached to Bumend in the long run, I'm sure she'll get over it.

Sorry about that, tell her what it was about, she can even suggest a name.

Reminds me of the time a friend had another friend's name as his password, they didn't see the funny side of it sadly, I'd be honoured to have my Island named after the Mas of Das.

Huh. Apparently I chose Ike last time too.

issssssssland name: SSSSSSSS

You better hope you've got a heron waiting in your tournament, Smurf.

When's the tournament kicking off, incidentally?

*pots and pans rattling in the distance*


Island name: Hoville

Fighter: Terry

Somebody choose Falco, quick!

It's a ten character limit for AC's island names.

Well that's a little more reasonable.

I'll probably do it the weekend before it's out I think, might try and get it up to an even 16.

Well that changes everything. My suggestion will henceforth be changed to... PENGVILLE no it won't.

Smurfs Up [is the etymology in surfing or excited cocks?], administrated under the careful watch of Mega Man [so cocks then].
