Who's your favourite NPC?
I'm not sure, tbh. Blathers is ok but I don't like that he always has to wake up whenever I visit him during the day. ^^"
Who's your favourite villager?
I only have like 5 different villagers but bot Cherry and Maddie are alright.

Question: I got to deliver a present from one villager to another. However that other villager won't talk to me because they're cooking. I know they want me to get a cooking license and get the recipe before being able to talk to them. However, I can't get the license (doesn't show up in the Nook Miles Redeem shop). I tried looking up what guides said and they just talked about only needing the 2.0 update (I have 2.05).

Does anybody happen to know if there are other things I need to do? ^^"

Omg, so happy to have you here! Cherry and Maddie are pretty good, nice choices <3

About your question, that's really weird! Is it possible that you haven't made enough progress yet? I don't really know what to advice you because I haven't found many info online, but this video is pretty clear. Maybe it can help!

For now, here you have a warm welcome to the Animal Crossing fan club!

I have never bought the DLC, but I am planning to maybe buy it at some point! I still haven't finished my Island, so yeah I wanted to do that before getting it lol.
I understand what you mean though, because I feel like one of the biggest strengths of the game is how creative you can get with houses and the Island. I bet it's real fun!

Anyway, this opens to a very interesting topic:
Have you bought the Animal Crossing DLC?
What do you think about it?



My more complete answer on the topic:

Spoiler:

I have got to say that the free 2.0 update was really good and it already kinda helped re-giving life to the game, that players had already stopped playing by that time.

The DLC features really interesting things and I am definitely up to try it. One of the things that was often said about Animal Crossing, in a negative way, was that it's a game that has no real goal. I kinda disagree as the goal in Animal Crossing is the one you set yourself: "finish my island, decorate my house, complete the museum". More than that, do games even really need a goal? I don't think so, but that's another topic that would require much more discussion. What I want to say is that the DLC kinda fixes this problem because you have actual missions.
I have got to say that I am personally not much into that kind of thing. I found the terraforming/decorating Island part to be more interesting and fun.
It's still cool as the DLC brings decorating houses to a new level that I'd like to see in the future games as well. I also love how you can interact with different villagers, which is pretty cool.

I have, in fact, not bought the DLC. It's actually been a while since I last played the game. I was busy with school and stuff, and a certain game…

Spoiler:

I'm also really lazy when it comes to my island. When I start to play, I'm always like "OK, I'm going to pay the rest of the house, get more villagers, "finish" the game and I'm getting the terraforming thingy so I can change the island as I've always wanted!", but then when i actually go to play, all I do is get bugs, fish, collect weeds and balloons and then I just peace out.
I need to stop procrastinating jeez…

 

[Megan]

I have a strict no DLC policy when it comes to games. Unless they ship the game with DLC or add it as free later on I'm not gonna spend money on it. It's just a business practice I don't support.

But that's ok. I mostly just spend my time picking flowers, hitting rocks, grabbing fossils, getting frustrated whenever a shovel breaks and do some other stuff to get more money. All so I can buy more clothes. Occasionally, I also need to spend it for more storage so I can buy more clothes. xD

I used to do a bunch of diving, as well. But it has gotten a little bit too slow for me after a while...

What I've only done once or twice is fishing. I think you need an audio queue in order to be good at it? I do play with muted audio, though. So I stopped bothering. Supposedly it also gives you more recipes? But that doesn't matter to me as I still don't have the license for cooking. <_<

Congratulations! Good luck for the next!
Actually, I have never reached the last star because of the number of trees I have!
But I like my disposition, so I am not really up for a change lol

Hello, everyone!

Today I have stumbled across an interesting YouTube Short about Animal Crossing. Here it is:

Spoiler:

The person in the video talks about how a new Animal Crossing game might be released this year and that it could be a spin-off! I wonder, how would you feel about that?
Do you believe the prevision could be correct? Would you like a spin-off Animal Crossing game or would you prefer a main-line game?
How do you imagine an Animal Crossing spin-off game? Do you think it should be released on the Switch or for the next Nintendo Console?


Here there are my personal answers:

Spoiler:

As much as I would love to see an Animal Crossing spin-off, I don't really think we'll see a new Animal Crossing game in the near future. I think the next game is going to be on the next Switch console and it'll be pretty much a main-line game. While I think that a new main-line Animal Crossing game should definitely be released only on the next Nintendo Console, I think an Animal Crossing spin-off has better chances to be released and to perform pretty well on the actual Switch.
I would really love to see a Spin-off, mainly for the reason that we could get something new every tot of years without having to wait for the next big game. I think the DLC was a great addition, but it almost seemed like it was giving an end to the game. A spin-off could get the community still alive in the meanwhile!
I imagine an Animal Crossing spin-off like Pocket Camp or the DLC. So, in this case we would have missions or something like this. I don't even exclude something on the line of Pokémon Let's go games, meaning some sort of connection to Pocket Camp, even though it's quite an old game now, so it's pretty improbable. As for the girl predicting a new Animal Crossing game in 2023, yeah I am not expecting it. Or better, maybe there could be an announcement, but I totally expect the next game to be out at least in 2024 and most probably on the Next Nintendo Console.
