My airport gates are open for an hour or so, come take some pears and please leave behind some other fruit.
I'll try and leave the gate open again when I get home from work.
Fireball island made. A few tools made. Now to sleep and work tomorrow.
Peaches on my island. Gonna sleep on what to name it. Got a sheep and elephant for buddies. Seem cute enough. Didn’t even think about rerolling, and I picked their tent spots anyway
My first AC game, ever, but I think I get it—I weeded way more than I picked up wood for the first fire.
Question: when I pick the name will it be “abc” island? Or just “abc”?
Oranges on my island, but I have no idea how any of this works for online stuff yet... and I have no idea where to even see my friend code yet. XD
Ok, can someone give me the elevator pitch for this game? I see people talking about pears, oranges... and people not being happy with their island companions. Is it suitable for a 7 year old boy? He's very game 'savvy' for his age and plays a lot of Minecraft (including online), but he does get stuck and loses patience with, say, Luigi's Mansion 3 for example. I'm not a Switch gamer at all and have sadly never owned a Nintendo so am looking to you kind goodjers to guide me
It's a bit like Stardew Valley where villagers are animals and had tremendous amounts of personality. It's not at all about farming, but fishing, catching bugs etc. It's all very cute and bright, and at least for me the animals are definitely the main attraction.
Can he read? The animals speak gibberish but have text bubbles. It has very little guided content and no plot at all. Otherwise the content is totally suitable, I don't know whether it has enough going to engage at that age. My son (11) certainly has shown zero interest in it .
I got a bird (Plucky) and a frog (Cousteau) who seems to bit of a athlete as he suggested we name the island Awesome Biceps.
I'm quite confident that when you name the island it shows just the name.
Jumping in on this thread. I've never really spent much time with an Animal Crossing game because, truthfully, I never saw the appeal. Dabbled with the 3DS game, but that's about it. Most of my exposure to the franchise is via Smash Bros.
But with the world being how it is, I figured a bright and cheery game may be perfect. My partner and I split the cost and set up tents on different sides of the island. I'm interested (but maybe a little bit skeptical) to see how sharing the island goes.
So far the music is excellent, the graphics are amazing, and I'm having a nice chill time. Not my usual sort of game, but something I think I'm going to enjoy. I immediate enjoy this more than the 3DS game because the smartphone-style achievement system is giving me a steady stream of goals (and dopamine hits!)
It's been nice chatting about the little things we've both discovered too. I think this will be a nice experience
So - I got this, and its great. But..after about an hour and a half of playing, it seems I have run out of things to do? My house will be ready tomorrow and that seems to be real time tomorrow? Thats...certainly an interesting way to set up a game.
I assume its meant to be played a little every day, then?
I have never played an animal crossing game in my life. But oddly enough for “some reason” playing a very low-key, low stress, fun happy world seems appealing right now.
So I played a bit last night after 12am and also some this morning and so far, it is great! I named my island Red Skull to give it a bit of a pirate feel. (Yes, I'm also playing Black Flag so hence the inspiration!) My native fruit is cherries!!! (Probably my favorite fruit in real life!). My first two neighbors are a jock squirrel named Sheldon and a horse named Raneigh. I LOVE them! <3 <3 <3
I paid off my initial nook miles debt and started building a house for tomorrow. I've also been working on crafting the different tools and catching bugs and fish. Just for those who don't know, don't sell the first of each type of bug or fish or whatever you catch or even dig up. At least for now, Big Nook is collecting them and will give you extra rewards.
If you're not sure what to do in the game:
Build all of your tools and collect materials for recipes
Collect fruit and sell (ideally on other islands)
Catch bugs and donate/sell.
Catch fish and donate/sell.
Clean up all your weeds and sell. BIG chunk of starter money.
Collect shells and sell.
Shake trees for wood and bells and ?
Talk to your neighbors multiple times. They sometimes have good advice.
Big Nook will also give suggestions of what to do.
Lots more I'm sure but that's what I have off the top of my head.
Oranges for the Island of Berkelium. Just getting started but I'll open for business soon enough.
Hey Stele, my island is open now if you wanna come grab a pear and orange. I'll drop em on the ground near my airport. Would be very happy to take one of anything besides those or apples.
Had a great time tonight hosting Stele and mortalgroove. Spent a big chunk of my day weeding and knocking off Nook Mile tasks, very easy to lose an hour or 2. Looking forward to tomorrow when I can get a shovel and start planting some fruit, hopefully visit a couple foreign islands too.
I’m happy to report that the island nation of Guilder has apples.
My wife’s kingdom of Florin has Cherries.
I just picked this game up today as I have never played an AC game before and wanted to see what it was all about. Got through the little intro sequence and am running on real time now. My island of Yukihama has the native fruit of... Pears! Was hoping for something more interesting but that will do. I am running out of room in my pockets to hold stuff. Am I just being a hoarder or am I missing some kind of storage option?
Hope to meet up with some people sometime!

You will eventually have all the fruit to place on your island as you please to make it interesting!
If this AC is like the previous ones, we will eventually get more storage space in furniture. In the meantime, you can sell shells right away. Donate your first of each fish and bugs to Nook and then sell the rest unless you want to use it to decorate. Don't carry around anything you want to just save. Just temporarily place it outside of your house and it will stay there forever until you pick it back up. It doesn't look great, but when just getting started, it works to make sure you have inventory space for crafting, catching fish and bugs, etc. But yes, eventually we should be able to store it all in something in an organized manner.
I'm curious as to what that pocket organizer is that costs 5000 mileage and if that will help with managing inventory.
Peaches are on Gijeok. No idea how to visit anyone; I tried and the list came up empty. But I’d love to start swapping around some fruit!
Bought. Figured I deserved it after completing Kentucky Route Zero yesterday under these... circumstances.
Are your first townspeople randomized? I'm already thinking of renaming my town and I just started. Wondering if I should reset.
Also, what are the town names you all have chosen so far?
