ACNH DIRECT RECAP 2/20/2020
There was an animal crossing: new horizons direct today! Here’s the biggest hits from it! Also, this post is very, very long and very in-depth (i spent well over an hour on it) so there is a cut in the beginning to save your dashboard!
btw you can watch the direct for yourself here. And if you enjoy this recap, you might want to join my animal crossing discord server!
First of all, you can pick your island (and further customise the terrain but I’ll get to that later)
And you can pick the northern or southern hemisphere! You’ll be able to experience all four seasons regardless of your pick!
You start off with two villagers! You then get an orientation from Tom Nook, Timmy, and Tommy!
You can pick where your villagers live!!! You can also see the borders of how much space the tents will take up.
BTW we’re only four minutes in to a 27 minute presentation so click the “keep reading” to see the whole recap!
Facilities
The plaza (the leaf on the map) has Resident Services, which is run by the nooks to provide, well, basic services. They sell tools, flowers, and medicine for wasps! There’s also a crafting table to make more stuff! And it’s open 24/7!!!
Crafting works by learning the recipe, and then gathering the crafting supplies to make it! You just make it at the crafting bench in the top right corner.
You can customize furniture really easily in this game! And, Custom Designs Are Back! (more on that later)
The Airport! It’s also open 24/7 and you can travel to other islands and send letter to your residents here! Also it’s run by the cutest dodo bird
You can have 8 people on one island!
Nook Inc. Special Services
iPhone whomst? I only know the Nook Phone
CEO Tom Nook delivers an Island Broadcast aka morning news to everyone, yall my heart
The Nook Mileage Program is a lot like MEOW Coupons from acnl! Do some tasks to earn miles, to then get rewards! They’re also used to pay off the Getaway Package cost! (yall gonna need 5,000 miles for that btw)
We’ve got tool rings y’all!!!
Wasps, scorpions, and tarantulas are back y’all! Ya know how when you got bit by a tarantula or stung by a scorpion in new leaf you’d just pass out? Well wasps can do that now so #YouCanDieInACNH kldkfjdlfjfhjdffj
These aren’t here for any particular reason, I just thought the mushroom lights were pretty
My boy Wisp is back! It looks like you can collect ghosts in this game (which you could do in older games as a friend informed me)
My other son is also back!
Apparently you can get lost and need to call a helicopter to take you home? how big are these islands??
You can build a house! and the villagers face omfg thats a great screenie Tom Nook is also supplying loans with no interest or deadlines still! thank god
The secret storage room is also back!
It appears you can change the direction of the flooring at least!
The Happy Home Designer-esque room decorator is here!
Get those snazzy houses! It appears you can have 4 rooms in your house (the main room, one to the left, right, and back)
You can use Nook Miles Tickets to go on Island Tours! You can do things like the acnl island tours, along with picking up some animal friends! There’s multiple islands and it seems to be random every time.
Apparently you can jump over small rivers to escape the tarantulas and scorpions fvbvsjfbvjlsfbvhj
Party Play lets you call residents who live on the same island as you for some local co-op!
Creatures found by the people you’re playing with are stored in the recycle box at resident services!
The Nintendo App finally has a gosh damn use! You can scan qr codes from happy home designer and new leaf! As well as talk to the people you’re playing with!
Part 2 of the Presentation
Ya’ll you can decide where your new residents will live before-hand! You can invite some residents to live on your island as well!
More Facilities!!! The facilities shown in the direct were: the museum, nook’s cranny, able sisters, the campsite
You can move your house AND the shops and facilities once they’re built it seems!
Town services is supposed to expand into a town hall and ya’ll know what that means!!
ISABELLE!!!
Some other fan favorites will also be visiting the island! These include: Label, Harvey, Celeste, Saharah, Daisy Mae (more on her in a bit), and Kicks!
Celeste can give you a magic wand that lets you select outfits!
Daisy Mae is a new NPC who sells turnips! I speculate she’s the child of Joan, but we don’t know yet.
Fishing Tourneys and Bug Offs are now hosted by CJ and Flick! Flick is my entire aesthetic I love him!!
Free updates are coming with seasonal festivities! My main man Jack is back yall!
Island Customization is expansive! Rip homebrew bc there is no need anymore! We have easy paths, bridges, ramps, river customization, cliff customization, AND you can make your own damn waterfalls! (i’d recommend watching the direct starting at 20:49 to fully grasp this bc it’s a lot)
Happy Birthday to You! 🎶
Additional Info:
1. Up to 8 people can share an island on the same switch system
2. Animal Crossing Amiibo figures and cards are supported! They mentioned add availability to more Amiibos, so maybe the loz and splatoon ones will be added!
3. No more griefing! Only your best friends can use certain tools while visiting your island!
