Animal Crossing New Horizons Coming March 20 2020 - Blu-ray Forum

Update:

Beloved franchise Animal Crossing gets ready for its Nintendo Switch debut!

If the hustle and bustle of modern life’s got you down, Tom Nook has a new business venture up his sleeve that he knows you’ll adore: the Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package! Sure, you’ve crossed paths with colorful characters near and far. Had a grand time as one of the city folk. May’ve even turned over a new leaf and dedicated yourself to public service! But deep down, isn’t there a part of you that longs for…freedom? Then perhaps a long walk on the beach of a deserted island, where a rich wealth of untouched nature awaits, is just what the doctor ordered!

Peaceful creativity and charm await as you roll up your sleeves and make your new life whatever you want it to be. Collect resources and craft everything from creature comforts to handy tools. Embrace your green thumb as you interact with flowers and trees in new ways. Set up a homestead where the rules of what goes indoors and out no longer apply. Make friends with new arrivals, enjoy the seasons, pole-vault across rivers as you explore, and more!

This new addition to the Animal Crossing series launches March 20, 2020, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system.

Features

Customize your character and home, and decorate the landscape (with furniture, if you like!), as you create your very own island paradise.
Experience a robust new crafting system—collect materials to construct everything from furniture to tools!
Enjoy a variety of relaxing activities like gardening, fishing, decorating, interacting with charming NPCs, and more, as classic Animal Crossing experiences come to life in fun new ways within the deserted-island setting.

Have you never played an Animal Crossing game? It’s always like that.

Nope. Never saw the appeal honestly. But my son or my wife may like it.

So yes or no. Can you mute that god awful gibberish?

Well you never could before, so I doubt you’ll be able to in this game.

You get used to it though, and you can always just mute the TV when they talk to you.

Yay! Great to see it finally confirmed!

You can change the sound I think.

KillaCam · 09-14-2018, 08:19 PM

Hmm... I didn’t spend much time with my copy of New Leaf. I wonder what new features they will add.

celticmoon · 09-15-2018, 12:59 AM

There are some features from Pocket Camp that I hope the implement, like the friendship levels, the fishing nets/honey, and expanded inventory. Maybe a way to officially add paved roads and such would be nice too!

That was quick, this video has already been meme’d

Saw this on Twitter.

My GCU expired yesterday and they didn't even give me until the end of the day to keep using it. Went to pre-order this and it rang up as full price. Looks like I'll be waiting for a sale on this one.

Missing out on all of the new games announced yesterday too sadly. Hopefully some of them at least get $10 gift certs.

That sucks, they should have at least given you until 11:59pm.

Here's 24 minutes of gameplay from Nintendo's Treehouse.

GRD43L · 06-12-2019, 02:49 PM

AC is cute. I played the original and am interested in this but not sure if I'll dive into it.

Getting ripped a new one by Mr. Resetti actually gets terrifying!

Daveismyhero · 06-12-2019, 05:11 PM

Casual me is looking forward to this a lot. Have they mentioned the launch price yet? $60, is probably a safe bet, huh?

celticmoon · 06-12-2019, 05:27 PM

Too bad it's been delayed, but at least not by too much.

And it looks great so far! Crafting, placing furniture outside, and paving roads!

Member-115369 · 06-13-2019, 06:20 PM

Looks great so far to me. Delay is fine by me as my gaming schedule is packed this fall/winter. Though there's a ton coming next spring now too. AC is pretty easy to fit in as it's a great 30-60 minute a day type of game. With New Leaf I often did 30 minutes while having my morning coffee instead of browsing forums. I'll likely do the same here when it's out.

dyne · 06-14-2019, 07:15 PM

The delay was to help mitigate crunch.

In an interview, Bowser revealed that Nintendo firmly believes in not bringing a game to market until it's ready. And rather than rushing the game out the door, they can delay Animal Crossing to get it right without burdening developers. "It's really important that we have that balance in our world. It's actually something we're proud of.”

There’s an Animal Crossing themed pastel Nintendo Switch coming to Japan. A video with closeups plays in the background here.

Is there a western release of this? The colors remind me of robin eggs (the Easter candy).

I did see this preorder item for the US release.
