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. 

Fair enough. Probably sensible to assume the same rules apply then, until/unless they reveal otherwise.

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

 

ShopTo have a similar price. I'm still torn.

Will this be the first Animal Crossing game where I don't abandon my village for years?

Unless you’re immortal, no.

Oh you're going to be so embarrassed when he turns out to be the real Duckula Strafe!

Hello Animal Crossing lovers.  

 

Did you see this interesting bit of news on PC Gamer about Animal Crossing e+?  You can now play this Japan only title on your PC! 

 

If you have the means, that is.  No idea how you'd sort that. 

 

What a fun way to spend 5 weeks until....5 weeks....oh, such a loooong time.    

 

*yawn*

Irresistible. I kind of wanted the box and cart but being able to just whip it on and off without switching carts seems the most natural way for Animal Crossing to work.

[Ktisis]

Would this be a decent get for someone that's played the shit out of Stardew Valley and wants something else similar? I realise it isn't out yet so I guess this is more of a general Animal Crossing question as i've never played one before. I played My Time At Portia but it didn't really grab me the same way as Stardew and i'm still looking for something else.

[Gotters]

Stardew Valley was a charmless ripoff turd in comparison to the joy of Animal Crossing - of course others will disagree but there is a feel about Animal Crossing games that nothing gets close to.

[joffocakes]

Some people get a bit frustrated with the lack of purpose in Animal Crossing. I've not played Stardew Valley but I imagined it to have tasks closer to Harvest Moon?

[moosegrinder]

Yeah, Animal Crossing and Stardew don't have that much in common. I'm probably going to end up picking up Animal Crossing but I wonder if I'll just stop after it starting to feel like a job. That's why I stopped playing New Leaf.

It's a quite different purpose from narrative driven single player games that reward you for retrying a level or playing hours - and I get it's not to everybody's liking.

 

I love that even what appears a simple quest like filling the museum with fish is a huge task, driven by the realtime calendar and clock. If you miss the last the last day of spring a certain fish you didn't catch may not be back for months - its incredibly gentle as a game but brutal in that respect that it dictates to you when things happen and when they're gone its tough luck.

 

The switch is going to help in that regard being portable - no more missing the turnip sales on Sunday morning or KK Slider just because you weren't at home.

Don't forget the gifting / trading aspect, too - playing New Leaf with friends and forumites was The Best Thing.

I almost always go physical with games when possible but that cd keys offer and the fact this game will consume me is too tempting.

5% Quidco at CDkeys too

Thanks (deal is still on)

Download purchased (still £37 at cd keys)

Joycons sent off for the drift to be fixed

Kid Cat confirmed as a character

Roll on March 20th!

If you ordered one of the gorgeous Animal Crossing Switches from the Nintendo UK store, I hope you pre-ordered it before last Wednesday, as any preorders from 12th Feb onwards are now delayed from March 20th (the game’s release day) to April 17th. Covid-19 supply chain related perhaps?

[SteveH]

Somebody is actually selling those Animal Crossing joycons and base on eBay. The joycons are a ridiculous price, something like £100. But the stand/base is a fairly reasonable £50-ish. So technically for £150 you can make your boring old Switch into one of those special editions.

[jonamok]

Though it will still be a boring old chassis. Not the gorgeous AC rear shell.

[Rex Grossman]

 

[Strafe]

Wonder if they’ll include Metroid prime 1-3 remastered in it

[R0b]

For you guys up-page buying from grey market sites.

After some backlash Nintendo have now said you'll get one warning strike on your account before a ban following the next one. Obviously cdkeys is more legit than places like G2A, but it's worth a word of caution.

OK, I'm in. Thirty eight quid unplayable icon downloading now!

AC Direct in 2 hours. That’s gonna make the next month an even tougher wait.

Given the island getaway setting will this be the first Animal Crossing I can finally roam around in a pair of scatty briefs and a string vest? (Doubtful) Looking forward to it anyway!
