Animal Crossing Mobile -OT-

Super Mario Run was a good start but after Fire Emblem Heroes turned out to be a way worse game that made way more money I don't have high hopes for Animal Crossing. Fully expecting some generic city builder type game, please surprise me Nintendo.

Whaaaaaaat. Fire Emblem Heroes is amazing.

3 hours until impending doom.

This is either going to be kind of awesome or kind of bad.

Are we leaving this as the direct thread?

Oh, this is out soon? Let me check the thread...

Hmm...

Any chance of deleting that porn? We got the user banned, but unfortunately I guess it's impossible to contact a moderator any more.

I guess it's just permanent until Evilore checks this thread, and I don't know if he is a big AC fan. That's kind of awkward.

I was thinking what porn, its only an old school cartoon. (Until I scrolled down) and thought, oh another suicide post.

I could have sworn I saw screens for this as a match 3 game using the fruits or something this week. Maybe it was a shop. Eager to see this direct
 
Did we already know it was going to be a mobile game instead of a Switch game? Disappointing out the gate for me but I guess I didn't pay attention to a previous announcement.

They said they were making an ac for mobile ages ago. They also have never said what kind of ac game it will be. Just cause there's a mobile game doesn't mean there won't be a switch game.

You probably saw this:

Which was a free New Leaf upate.
 
There is no way the mobile game does not tie into the inevitable switch release. I don't think we'll hear about it tomorrow, but we sure can speculate.
I was thinking about how the Nintendo Switch app looks so empty with just Splatoon 2 last night, and was wondering what else could go here - and then it hit me that AC would be a really good opportunity. Granted, I don't really know how apps work and if something like this is feasible, but having the AC app work with the Switch app. Being able to farm fruits, bells, items, etc. in the app, then have them delivered to your town would be really awesome.

It's a gacha game, so it's fun for about a week, then you realize that you have to either start paying to get good rolls or grind forever. It's about as good as a game with that type of business model can be, I'll give it that.

They’re crazy generous with how much free stuff they give you

What? I haven't invested any money into the game and I got pretty much every unit I wanted to far. And there isn't much grinding to do, leveling a character to max level takes less than 30 minutes.

I'm worried this will be a very small scale game. Just a city/home designer or something. Hope I'm wrong.

Well, of course it won't be the real thing. They want the fans to buy the next game on Switch (most likely).

As long as it's a fun little game to play while waiting for the Switch version, I don't mind it to be honest.

I want something that will transfer over to the new Switch title. Whatever it is, I hope they make them connected.
 
Is New Leaf still worth playing? I bought the New Lead themed 3DS all those years ago, but never really got into it. I feel like I’m too late and the community might be over it already :/

it would be interesting to see a way to import items from the mobile game to the real game (using AR/taking pics of items with your phone, RL pics in picture frames etc)

Yeah, it starts at 11pm EST/8pm PST. Kinda getting hyped. Hope (but doubt) they'll release the app right afterwards.

Fire emblem heroes released about 2 weeks after it was shown in the direct in janurary. I can see it releasing sometime November.

I'd like to see some AR where you can see your full house in 3D as some miniature thing on top of your table and you can move the furniture around, etc... Please!
 
wait WHAT??? this is a new leaf update?

*start the game since 2 years ago*

lol I just did the same thing, no idea how I missed that back when the update came out. Only I am more excited that apparently the desert island game from amiibo Festival was in the update as well. It was the only part of that game that looked interesting to me but I never got to try it.

On topic, I have absolutely no idea what the mobile game is going to be. I do hope it has a multiplayer aspect of some kind.

Ugh... would like to be hype, but...
Actually animal crossing is probably one of the very best titles Nintendo could release on smart devices. Who knows, could be amazballs or whatev the kids say these days.

I'd like options to be mean to certain animals I don't dig though. Looking at you, Benedict... I'm fine with the consequences of my actions so long as my enemies show outrage... well... it's Nintendo so maybe chafing discomfort, when I surround their house with piles of trash. Hit them with my net or hopefully this time we dig a hole and push them in it. Promptly burying the evidence... Mwahahahaha!!!

Very excited to see where this goes! Animal Crossing on Mobile has the potential to be a full-fledged experience. Hoping the delay on the game means Nintendo had the chance to really polish and direct the final experience.

On topic, I have absolutely no idea what the mobile game is going to be. I do hope it has a multiplayer aspect of some kind.

Yes! Online multiplayer is where this has a chance to really be something solid.
