Guys, help me. I went to preorder the download and thought I’d give the direct video on the store a quick look first to get into the mood. But when it got to the crafting bit, and the guy went round shaking trees to get sticks, I just thought to myself, how many hours have I spent shaking trees in different versions of this game? Do I really want to spend any more hours doing it again? And spend £50 for the privilege? So I left the store without ordering it.

 

I think I might be broken.

It'll be 40 quid on CdKeys. Tenner makes all the difference.

I find it slightly amazing that Nintendo have people rebuying Switches for what basically amounts to a new pair of joycons. 

 

No one makes more money from reselling customers the same console they already own with a new colour scheme than Nintendo. Source: the wide variety of DS and 3DS consoles I own.

My biggest hope for New Horizons is that you can sail to other surrounding little islands in real time, like a mini Wind Waker. Even just half a dozen other small islands all very close together with unique stuff happening on them would be great. They'd probably do it with loading screens instead of seamless sailing, and that's assuming there are other islands at all, but it'd be so good.

I think it’s a safe bet to say that Nook will be selling day trips and excursions. Night fishing, remote island stays and so on. He is going to rake it in

Think I’m gonna have to go physical on it as I intended to use the family secondary switch lite as the AC machine otherwise my primary fat Switch will be used the whole time by the wife and kids. 

Using the non primary lite means digital is not an option if multiple people want to play on the island. Having multiple switches does get complicated sometimes!

How does digital or physical make a difference to accounts on a machine?

On your ‘primary’ switch you can play your digital games along with anybody else who is using your switch. So I can buy it and my daughter can use her account to play it as well. 
 

However on a 2nd switch in the household, only the person (me) who buys the digital game can play it. If another account tries to use it on the 2nd switch it says this software can’t be played. So the only way the whole family can play animal crossing on a 2nd machine is to buy it physically. 
 

I think that’s how it works.

Just to be clear, for ACNH whichever switch the game is installed on (physical or digital copy, or indeed both at once) it’s just 1 unique and completely shared island, and every profile on that machine can play equally on that same one-off island. Not sure it cares for the distinction between primary and secondary switches.

I know that ACNH is slightly different. 
 

However. On a switch that isn’t your primary, users other than yourself won’t be able to play a digital game that you’ve purchased (it will check online before it launches) unless they’ve changed their whole digital structure for it. 
 

Note that for most people with only 1 switch none of this matters.

Surely this game above all others should be bought digital?


I'm wrestling with this. If a game exists physically, I'm inclined to buy that over a download- unless the latter is cheap. But given that this is unlikely to ever see a substantial discount and I'll be playing a bit of this every day...

You can get a digital copy from cd keys for 39 quid.
