Nintendo life preview:The first thing that hit us is just how pretty the game is. Yes we’ve seen screenshots and video footage in various different areas, but none of that really managed to do it justice. Seeing it in person showed just how sharp the whole game is, despite all the rounded corners on just about everything. Colours pop out at you, details as fine as Timmy and Tommy’s face fur are crisp and refined, the various lighting effects cast a wonderful array of different feels across your character and the surrounding environment, the entire thing is nothing short of drop-dead gorgeous.
Oh and the Museum, the Museum. We don’t want to gush about the visuals too much but we can’t let this slide by without a mention. Having perused through the halls we were utterly floored at just how atmospheric, original, and downright real the museum felt. Vents on the walls, small gratings where you might expect them, ants surreptitiously stealing sugar from an unattended cup of coffee; it is without a doubt one of the most wonderful visual experiences we’ve had in a game.
All in all, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is shaping up to completely and utterly usurp its predecessors. There seems to be almost no reason we can think of why we’d return to the other games once we own this proper, it’s improved upon every single aspect from past titles, and thrown in a whole host of new lovely little quality of life features to boot. If when it comes out it can hold our attention even half as well as it managed to in our short time playing it, we’re all going to be in for a treat like no other
New massive video previews in the opening post.
Oh crap. I have 15 days to get my joycons fixed. Or face missing out on the game while they are being repaired. Crap.
WTF they have little wooden cabins, I guess as the next step up from tent.
The preview saying that there is much more incentive to do things as you always have something new to craft or nookmiles to get.
Animal Crossing Breath of the Wild edition?
Collect stuff to craft items, breakable tools, including watering cans?
I've been on about as much of a blackout as I could with this game. Just eight more days! I only hope the spreading corona virus doesn't shut down my Best Buy next Friday....

I'll be buying this digitally. I don't want to have to swap out carts every day to play the daily 15 minutes of AC.

I get it, but I'm just a sucker for physical copies. Plus, I don't have to worry about SD cards.

We just 'prepurchased' AC this morning through the eShop. It's downloading as I type this. We won't play untill Saturday though, as my kid's only allowed to game in the weekend.

i just did the same.
Wow, GAFs Animal Crossing thread is called: Animal Crossing: New Horizons |OT| Self-isolating on a deserted island
A little controvertial, but I get the setiment. This game is coincidentally coming out when the world is in chaos and we are all being advised to shut ourselves away inside.
It's going to make the coming weeks much more bearable and soothing for me. I truly love these games and how relaxed they make me feel.
looking forward to the awesome dialogue.
