You can buy Pocket Camp right now.
All the gacha experience, but in a one-time payment!

no god mode dollhouse simulator shit. you should not have so much pull or say in how the entire village runs. Villagers can’t even itch their own ass if you don’t agree

>>712546891 (OP)
For it to be fully 3D.

Honestly there was TOO much freedom in NH and they should scale back. Having complete control over the way your villagers home looks? Too much

>>712547867
That would be retarded (but will probably happen) seeing as all the NES games are already available on the NES NSO application.

>>712547980
they opened Pandora’s box with that one. Being able to alter the entire landscape? There’s no going back now people are going to expect it

Implement the friendship level thing from pocket camp or the “helper” thing

Just port new leaf to switch 2 so we can actually have furniture and stores

>>712547479
>>712547867
or just wait for the pc port
its almost done decompiling (relatively)

>>712548419
I'm more excited for a new GC build is just the original with bug fixes, new furniture and villagers, etc.

>>712548282
being able to alter the entire landscape, the outside of your house, the inside of your house, the entire outside village, the outside of each and every one of your villagers house, as well as their interior, them not even being able to leave without your approval, ALL of this goes against the original premise of the game. You’re a villager not fucking GOD

>>712547339

>>712548526
I stopped playing for over a year and came back recently. There were a bunch of weeds and cockroaches. Each villager said one line of dialogue “it’s been how long since you’ve been gone?!” and that was it. Virtually nothing else changed in a year

>>712546891 (OP)
>What do you want from the next Animal Crossing?
For it to not be like New Horizons.
>>712547790
This 100%. You should be at the mercy of the village, not the other way around.

>>712547980
Based take. At some point it stopped feeling like a living town and more like a sterile Sims playground where the animals are just set dressing for your interior design portfolio. The charm was in being a *part* of the village, not its architect, mayor, and interior decorator rolled into one. Give villagers free will again. Let them decorate their houses in bizarre unmatching furniture sets and passive-aggressively insult my fashion choices.

>>712548526
>You’re a villager not fucking GOD
New Leaf is best experienced as the _second_ villager in the town, with the 'mayor' main account left basically ignored, with you only logging into it occasionally to push some essential developments along.
Being adressed as 'mayor' all the time feels unnatural, and you can change too much even in that game.

>>712548525

Romance with Tom Nook.

>>712547980
It's honestly really sad how quickly NH became a game for women to turn their towns into sterile Instagram photoshoots and cute animal ethnostates.

>>712548913
Not for a new GC build where you're limited to 480p. Dolphin? Sure l, why not.
Actually, a crazy Wii U build with touchscreen inventory management and typing would be amazing.

An English N64 build that has near parity with the GC version would be cool too.

>>712549000
Animal Crossing has always been for women

Sex with lazy villagers.

>>712547790
>Villagers can’t even itch their own ass if you don’t agree
False, I itch Audie's ass daily.

>>712549576
It's a thing, but it's further behind
Personally I don't understand why a lot of people like the N64 version when the GameCube version is the same thing but with more content

BEAR TIME!!

>>712549086
It can look pretty good sometimes

>>712549861
Solely for the novelty.

Serious question:
Ankha is an Islander in the GC game.
Do islanders celebrate their birthday?

>>712550069
way too fat

It just keeps happening.

>>712550069
Too skinny

>>712546891 (OP)
More of the old formula. I liked New Horizons just fun and put around ~250 hours into it but I feel like that was mostly due to quarentine. I'd also prefer a much more open and expansive universe, the whole 'you can travel to other proceedurely generated islands' just doesn't scratch the same itch.

I want a return to the original formula of you being an absolute nobody moving into an already established town in which each resident has their own life regardless if you were there or not in the first place. Give them agency, give them personality. No more doll house sim.
Also make Sable fatter.

>>712550069
didn't he quit 4chan in 2018 or something
all i remember was him bitching about /vg/ because someone in the animal crossing general slighted him or some shit

>>712552468
I've seen him around as recently as last year.

>>712546891 (OP)
I always wondered what an Animal Crossing game would be like where you had a set time limit in a town. Like, you move to a town, you have 1 year to live there, and after that year is up, you have to move away. I figured it'd have more of an emotional impact after the year was up (assuming you played it a few times a week). Also in order for it to have any emotional impact, you'd have to give the villagers a more expanded history and complex relationships with the player character and other villagers. Not dating per se, but maybe villager A borrows Villager B's fishing rod and accidentally breaks it. Now Villager B is pissed at villager A and it takes some time before they warm up to each other again.

I have no idea how it'd play. But if you could make the game more about getting to know your new neighbours, and giving each neighbour a complex history and behaviour, it could be really unique.

normalfags can’t even handle time limits in games like Majoras mask and Pikmin they’d absolutely hate this. I personally think it sounds kino

>>712554025
Just make it like harvest moon where after a year things change in the town. Like villagers dying/growing up.
I don't think it would really work for animal crossing though, nu villagers are already super shallow. Nintendo isn't going to spend the time fleshing them out like that.

>>712554025
You just described "Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life"

Sable my love...

>>712546891 (OP)
1. Softball "relationship" mechanics, even if it's just "best friends" and they drop by your house every now and then and have special dialogue. Make it special too, like having to directly ask them to be your best friend and only being able to have one.
2. Unbreakable golden tools, even if it means locking gold tools behind a long-ass grind or some complex event.
3. Expand all the main NPCs to do more non-NPC things, like being able to find Isabelle shopping for clothes sometimes, or have there be a random chance to find Nook chewing Redd out.
4. Pocket Camp character events. Max out friendship with certain characters or certain groups of characters and you can view an event with them.
5. More clothing types. More accessory types too.
6. You are NOT the mayor unless/until you go through a whole process for it in-game, like you've upgraded your house and the shops a couple times. Could even include an "election" that you automatically win, just to make it feel more special.
7. Add a couple lines of potential dialog per character that nobody else has, independent of their set personality.

I just want to play the Gamecube version again. It went to shit after that. And I hate how the community is full of Pinterest women and fags. Take me back to 2002.

They could easily just hire a single person on Tumblr to bang out a few lines per character and it would be done in a day.
Now imagine a full team of writers refining character personalities throughout the entire development cycle.

A REALLY REALLY REALLY big area to work with. New villager personalities

More shit to DO with the villagers.
I hate how you can't really do anything with them, why not have some events you can do? Like cooking together, playing a NES-like game with someone, going to a restaurant or cafe with them, SOMETHING.
also I want to fuck them

why are people after tom nook and sable when they're meant for each other?

>>712559710
The axe had durability in the original game to discourage players from playing as a Captain Planet villain, you even had to comit to the True Planeteer alignment to unlock the Gold Axe.

It would be fun if they implemented basic board games like Chess, Checkers, Connect 4, and maybe Battleship or something. Or you could purchase some arcade games like Pong or any number of old Nintendo arcade games and play them in that. It's funny that for whatever reason, the NES emulator in GC Animal Crossing is really good. Like, better than what Nintendo is charging money for now.
