      Yeah, especially the Zelda and Splatoon-themed villagers, like Wolf Link, Epona, Inkwell, etc.. I mean, if they added the Sanrio-themed villagers and content to New Horizons, there's absolutely no reason why the Zelda and Splatoon-themed villagers shouldn't be there.

      Because once greedy companies like this receives their big payout there is no reason to work on the game so they abandon the game completely. I stopped playing this game years ago after I noticed their greedy ways. Play stardew valley way way better farming sim overall and still receives updates to this day. Then to add insult to injury they tell their players to restart their games.. so basically “no we won’t be updating the game ever but just restart your island and shazam! It’s a new game again !”

      I haven’t played in at least a year or two, and honestly I was recently thinking about playing it again and restarting. Also partly because I did some time traveling and did not get the museum update somehow, but I agree - I am reluctant to leave behind my villagers and progress from before. Maybe not Rasher tho lol, I remember levaing him alone so he could move out 💀 just not my type of villager. I was shocked and scared when he first moved to my island.
      Oh and honestly the cooking thing. Idk much about it, but seems really fun!

  • @whistlingsage9817

    One game save per console is never enough, and I would have preferred that Nintendo let us have as many game saves as the storage in our Switches would allow. I've never understood the one island per console limitation, but If Nintendo is trying to boost engagement or sales or whatever by doing it, then they should push a Switch system patch that allows us one island per cartridge owned. I bet that there are a lot more Animal Crossing fans who would be willing to cough up sixty dollars for another cartridge, than there are people who were willing to buy an entirely new Switch AND buy the game again, just to get another island.
    Edit: Bob's Gang!

    • @ThatGirlKim
      @ThatGirlKim 20 годин тому +4

      Currently, as long as you have physical cartridge, you can use the same one between systems tho? Since save data is on the system instead of the cartidge. So it's only a new system unless you bought digitally, THEN it would be a new system and rebuy of the game. (I'm just being a bit nitpicky with the end of what you said, I agree with everything else you said)

      @panoskotoulas759 20 годин тому +3

      I have a feeling that the reason they're doing that is because if you're only allowed only one save it feels more like YOUR island. It feels more unique and helps you bond with it. Then again, they're suggesting restarting for a fresh new start so this is a bit contradictory to my theory.

    • @unthinkableally6963
      @unthinkableally6963 19 годин тому +3

      My thought is that it's a technical thing more than anything. If they've created special tools for saving and transferring saves, it must take up a lot of room. Either that, or they don't want you saving your island to an SD card and trading it for cash or whatever. Or there is some part of using the game that accesses a server at nintendo that might get overloaded if there are too many islands? So I think resources is one part, perhaps discouraging (or minimizing) manipulation of the game for profit is another, all under the cover of saying it should be a cooperative family effort. In actuality it just makes everyone want to be on their own island. 🤣

    I absolutely REGRET restating!
    I didn't realize how DEMANDING the game was for our time because I had to GRIND FOR DAYS just to get terraforming! Plus, I still have to wait days to reorganize my island(move buildings, add/remove bridges/inclines)!
    At this point I see why so many people time travel because if I have to WAIT AN ENTIRE DAY JUST TO CHANGE ONE THING AT A TIME, I'm basically just wasting a day since some redesigns I have in mind require me to move a building or remove an old bridge!So that's just an entire day wasted on step 1, and years down the drain because of how bored I was with the game.
    I don't know how good the old AC games were, but I heard they're WAY better than NH. All I do now is hope the next game is at least better than NH.

      And it's unfortunate that they didn't add train tracks and the train doesn't move around the island!😂
      Hope they add more features like moving objects in the next game since the new switch should be more powerful than the current one.

    They should also allow us to unlock the full catalog so we can access all the build items if we restart and a one-click option to flatten islands.
    So no... until they make some quality of life changes and real updates for longtime players I won't be coming back.

    Honestly (as a person who played almost the whole series) I think every AC's games have some lacks. That said, although probably it will remain a dream, I hope Nintendo would take the best features from each chapter and put them in a new update or at least in a new game in the series for Switch 2.
    By the way, I restarted my island two times because I wasn't fully satisfied, but I'm (finally) creating the right one so...even if I'll finish literally everything (redecor my parents' and villagers' houses, catch every fish/sea creature/bugs and find all art) I'll NEVER reset it again.
    I did it with NL (unfortunately my Ds and Wii died...) and I'll do the same with NH even without any updats. This game literally helped me in my darkest years.

    I restarted last year and I both regret it but at the same time don't? I noticed myself missing a lot of the late-game progress stuff + items when starting again, but on the other hand it was a whole new experience playing it from the start with all the 2.0 update content in it. I had bought my game right when it first came out so a lot of the progress was already made when 2.0 dropped and I got bored of the stuff quicker. Now I find myself enjoying a lot of the things and as I've developed my island I don't regret restarting so much anymore. If you plan to restart just know that it's going to take a lot of time and effort to get back to where you were, and some bits will feel old because you've played through it already, but if you persevere it can be a fun new experience as well~

    I could never restart my game from scratch by deleting the save that made the years around 2020 bearable. Certainly not after the painstaking effort of redecorating their home interiors (which should be a base-game addition not DLC dependant).

    I restarted my island twice over the past almost 5 years, and part of it was due to the fact that I felt bad about missing out for so long. Another major part was I didn’t really have a vision for what I wanted, and I’d accidentally flooded my island with flowers and I was so overwhelmed about it-and I got sick of the names. If I could go back to my very first one and take my hybrid flowers, recruit my favorite villagers, and send over the items I’d want, I’d be totally happy. Even then, I’ve kind of liked the thrill of the grind and getting different villagers and trying over again while having something of a vision with a different map, and I don’t have any plans of restarting this one. There are pros and cons of both but I would love a few save files at least

    Put it this way. If I wanted to restart my island, they should have updated or already had an option to do a "one time" sell your island like we could in New Leaf, selling the value of your town. You get to start over with the added interest as well. I shouldn't have to start over because I'm bored, lack a second Switch or burnt out from multiple soft resets of the same island almost 5 years in. Those are reasons that you can but I rather they update the game with more content or give the route that was option given in New Leaf.

    If they make the villagers much more interesting, I will play it again. Decorating houses doesn't keep me from playing, but the overall quality of the villagers. I reset my island, but don't have the appetite to play again, cuz I see the villagers somehow bland. Would love to see more interaction from them, or allow us to have a mini shop, and really be able to start our own bakery, or smoothies, or be able to set a community hangout with all the villagers, and you can pick which part of the island it will happen. So many things they can add up, but they leave us hanging just like that.

    My Forever island is on a Lite and I wouldn’t think of deleting it after 1,000’s of hours of game play and having it just like I want it now. I love the game so much I did splurge for an Oled a few years back. That is where I start new islands to try different themes. I love the beginning play of a new island. I’m currently putting aside $ for when the Switch 2 is released. Thank you for your videos. Always good vibes.

    I restarted my island, having the completed island and a stock pile of bells and other items was getting old without much to work towards anymore. So I restarted so I have tasks to work towards again and a fresh set of new faces in villagers. Also this time I'm changing the look of the island to something new.

    I never stopped playing. As time goes on I may only play a few days a week, and have sometimes skipped a week. I’m also still playing Paradise Planning. I’ve thought about restarting, but I’ve done way too much in 5 years to justify deleting my island. If we could have a second island I would have probably started one, as I always had more than one town on the other platforms/versions.

    I did restart my island, but that was mainly due to me having to give up some video games to pay bills at the time, including Animal Crossing New Horizons. But I did have the foresight to upload a dream code for my original island, so in a way, I can still visit it with my current save (I have since gotten ACNH again) if I ever wanted to see it again.

    While I enjoyed a lot about the game, and the early game, there is no way I want to grind for DIY recipes again. I loved DIYs, but acquiring them is insane. I played over 3 to 4 thousand hours and am STILL missing some.

    I had restarted my island back in September or so, and it's been taking me so long to get it up to where I want it to be....still not finished it yet, and I *really* don't want to start it over again. My hubby and I have our own Switch Lites, but I'm the Animal Crossing player in my house. As a few people had mentioned, if Nintendo really wanted people to continue playing Animal Crossing on a regular basis, why stop the updates and content? There's so much more they can improve of in the game, as well as bringing some features back from previous games, too.

    I hated to do it, but I restated this last year. I actually stopped playing for quite a while. I didn’t know what I was doing when I started in 2020, and made lots of mistakes that I couldn’t correct. One being my fruit, I didn’t know to plant the third type. I got really far, but really frustrated. After restarting, I have moved forward quickly. I do miss things I had as well as my neighbors. I’m still having fun now.

My only issues with the game is i wish we could put briges from cliff to cliff without a waterfall under it, kinda like a bridge overpass. Also, the vacation island, shame we cant invite our friends to it like our regular island

I will say though I miss my first island. It's a pity I couldn't have kept my first island and have all the fun of a restart, just rebuilding it isn't the same.

    Not a hecking chance I'm restarting. I've been busting my arse to finish the museum for literal YEARS, no way am I doing that again. And DIY recipes! Those are a NIGHTMARE to collect! Why would I throw away all of this effort and work and results for...nothing? To be back at zero with NOTHING. I've done that over and over and OVER my entire life, I'm TIRED of having to start over because of the actions of other people, why the HECK would I want to do that in a game?? There isn't a chance I'll delete what I've done, I'm done with having to throw things away just because nobody else can comprehend things like "legacy" and cultivating something long-term. Putting a game down for a few years and coming back? Yeah, I'm used to that as well, but that's different, coming back is like putting on a cozy old coat or blanket or the like, good memories and things, and nothing is lost. And sometimes things come as a surprise, that I'd forgotten about some stuff, or made new discoveries with info I have then that I didn't before. Deleting? Yeah, no. Stuff like this, and the mainline Pokemon games on the Switch, are why I've given up on Nintendo, and that's genuinely depressing, as I played the old 8-bit games when they were current content, and have continued to enjoy their games to this day. Way to throw away your own legacy, Nintendo :-\

    I did infact restart my island and regret it. This was after the 2.0 update happened like a few days after and when the dlc was released. I had no idea either things happened. So I restarted it and then like two days later or around that amount of time I went on UA-cam and saw that there was now dlc and a huge update and I had just restarted my island so I spent the weekend GRINDING like I did a ton of time traveling and went from having basically nothing to having kk perform just so I could play the dlc and the new update played for hours on end like from the time I woke up (around 12 probably) to like six am for like two days. And then last year or the year before I restarted my island again and kinda grinded again to get to that point just not as relentlessly. Now I’m trying to complete my museum and finish all the nook miles tasks and get five stars for my island.

    It took a year to finish my first island. I got bored because there as nothing to do. It was perfect and I was scared to chance anything in it. So I saved dream address and restarted, to try new island. But I have restarted 3-4 times already and never finished new ones, because those never felt right like first one did. Some times I visit my first island by dream address and there I feel nostalgia while fall in love with it again. I miss my Sunny Island now very much, I can't recreate similar island ever again 😭

    I restarted mine once, and I somewhat regret it- but at the time I wanted a new theme and taking everything down felt like it was going to be too tedious. Plus I have the Amiboo card for my favorite character, however it hasn't been the same and I can't think of anyting new to do with my island. I wish the game was still being taken care of, with updates- even if once a year or something. But it really felt like the game was shoved aside as soon as it was released. I find it difficult to keep up the whimsy for a game that feels abandoned. Aside from them advertising to get people to play, but they won't add anything. I suppose it does free up people to work on bigger projects.

    I’ve been putting off redoing my island for a while. I already flattened like 2/3rds of it and rerouted the river to allow the largest possible space. I want it to be as natural as possible, like the older games. Two equally tiered elevations. I also need to spread out the houses a bit lol, they’re all clumped in a corner of a giant field. I may keep my giant farm as is, because I added bits and bobs to it to make it look more like an actual farm, rather than just two giant squares of crops growing. Too bad I didn’t have it on elevated land. 🫠

By sometime Sunday I will be back to 4 stars because Isabelle and evidently my villagers are pissed because I have too many trees.

    Aren't you able to create another Switch account on the same console to be able to create a new island, though? But I know that that would be bringing up the cost of getting another NSO subscription if someone wants.
