All in all, I think there's enough here for me to be satisfied, though I'm not sure if there's enough for me to get a Switch
So, if you like videogames and your preferences aren't crazy specific (like exclusively playing CSGO or something), I would say a Switch is about the best entertainment investment there is right now. The time of "wait for a bigger games library" has passed. There must be at least a dozen, A-tier exclusives out by now, with a level of variety that's just impressive. Then you have all the indies and third party releases on top of that (I find myself playing random indie games on the Switch that I had owned for years on Steam but for some reason never played there). I bought a Switch 2 years ago and I'm actually enjoy playing lots of different games again, it's fantastic!
Yea, it's not cheap. All I can say is that I came from a similar position, haven't owned a console since the Nintendo 64 for that reason and I didn't regret my buying a Switch for one second. I...
Yea, it's not cheap. All I can say is that I came from a similar position, haven't owned a console since the Nintendo 64 for that reason and I didn't regret my buying a Switch for one second. I noticed for myself that a lot of the cheap alternatives tend to just pile up and, ultimately, I prefer buying one 60€ game I truly enjoy over buying half a dozen games on a sale that I'm not truly into.
Also, yea, look into modding, I certainly won't judge you! ;) You just likely miss out on online stuff, which is way more enjoyable than the "but there is no messaging!"-yellers want to make you think.
I feel they gave the entire game away here. There is nothing really left to discover, just customization. I get that they just want you to go nuts on the design of your island. But I think there...

I get that they just want you to go nuts on the design of your island. But I think there is too little variation in the terrain to really make something unique.
I was hoping to see some mountains or other "biomes".
Guess I'll stick to Minecraft for my building needs and Stardew Valley for my cuteness needs.

I wonder if this isn't the kind of game that you thought it was. Previous Animal Crossing titles had less customization and less variation in terrain, but I still thought there was a lot to discover. Minecraft and Stardew are very good though so I can't fault you for loving them. I'm still excited but I can also understand wanting more variation.
I haven't played other Animal Crossing games. I was trying to see if I would like this one and judge it for what I would see in the trailers and this Direct. 'Cuz I love me some Switch gaming.

I would recommend renting it but then I remembered that doesn't exist I guess. Animal crossing is one of my favorite titles, but I view the customization as a bonus and not the heart of the game. A lot of the exploration is meeting the different animal people, experiencing zen moments, and finding little hidden bits about the world. I don't think very much was spoiled in the video. A lot of it is, you come back to this same place over and over, and rediscover new things about the place you thought you knew. The time, season, and weather all affect the mood, and I'm very fond of the older titles. I think it's probably closer to Stardew, but the experience of it is quite different. Stardew is much more busy and directed, whereas Animal Crossing is more like a leisurely stroll through the woods. If you can find a retailer with a good return policy, I would recommend giving it a shot just in case.

To be honest, I am an avid gamer and I'm not sure if I want to spend the time I reserve for gaming on this/these game(s). Especially because this game will probrably be $60. I feel I won't reach the $/hour ratio I usually go for in games. That said, if I could maybe borrow it from a friend (I know someone who is going to buy this game at release) I will most definitely check it out to form a better informed opinion on it.
Also: it's a little to cute for my taste, when Links Awakening came out for the Switch, I decided to play the first remake (DX on gameboy color) because of its 'cute' animation style.
That's fair, animal crossing is often the game I play between other games. I use it to chill out more than "play". My current main game is Noita, which has an aesthetic of a mix of caffeine and...
That's fair, animal crossing is often the game I play between other games. I use it to chill out more than "play". My current main game is Noita, which has an aesthetic of a mix of caffeine and shrooms lol. Animal Crossing by contrast is weed vibes.
Oh man, please tell me more about Noita, that looks awesome@ It kind of reminds me of Powder Game (forgive me) As for weed vibes, I go hard on 2007 Runescape when I'm baked xD Or incremental...

Or incremental clicking games... as long as it's low input I will play it stoned.
yeah Noita is like a mix of the powder game, a roguelike with very weird backstory. Personally I like to switch between pacifist runs and playing exceedingly carefully while killing every enemy lol.

Very cool, I put it on my list. thanks for the tip!
Sorry, I had to post this somewhere: Is the narrator voice actress the one from the Half-Life Hazard Course?
