100% agreed! And I recently picked up a Wii specifically to play Animal Crossing GameCube haha. The clock battery on my cube was dead (so AC would always load up at the time of day I left it at), and it turns out it's WAY easier to replace that on a Wii than it is a GameCube - not to mention Animal Crossing can run in progressive scan mode via Wii component cables (way cheaper than GameCube ones).
No worries, I like your positiveness towards NH (helps me getting more excited). Since I was expecting something slightly different, it will take some time for me to digest it, but I am sure I will love the hell out of the final product. Your point is accurate, they are just giving more tools and freedom to the players. Although one can play it as an Island Tycoon and micro manage every small detail, you can also have the chillest island in the seven seas and just fool around with the villagers.
They're showing early game stuff and how the game starts, which is you on a deserted island with nothing. The point is that your town development is all driven by you. You start with nothing and build up everything. This article vaguely tells how some of those beginning aspects will occur (and confirms isabelle). Looks like beginning stuff will be from upgrading your house and probably attracting new villagers so that Nook suggests you build a Town Hall, or whatever it may be. Don't worry, shops will be here, just gotta work up to them.
Thanks, I haven't been able to read much info but that's reassuring and actually sounds really fun to build up everything. Sounds like the game will have a huge amount of longevity, moreso than the previous games!
I get that. Fortunately, I haven't played too many games with crafting in recent memory.
Interesting; thanks for the advice. Another one of my favorites is Punch-Out!! Wii, so that sounds like a good idea for me. Plus, I'm a heathen who likes City Folk too, more than Wild World or New Leaf.
From a gameplay perspective, you couldn't be more wrong. The new crafting system completely changes how players interact with their environment. In a single "small new feature," the team has revamped how the player-environment relationship. The core gameplay of the series has been dramatically changed, and the player's role is now perfectly balanced between the sometimes limiting depths of immersion and the potentially dissociating effects of godly oversight.
I'm not prepared to go to war for Nintendo; I live on the east coast and it's getting late. Nor do I think you expect me to. But as just a small example of deeper crafting, the Treehouse gameplay showed combining furniture items to make different, compound furniture items. I believed the example we saw was an oil drum + a campfire to make a rustic outdoor furnace of some sort.

Its called progression. Something they started getting towards with New Leaf, and now this is the next level of it. After a while you will have a full AC town like you remember. Its not as tropical focused as it seems, only because they were showing you could camp on the beach and build stuff outside etc.
Yeah, I think so. I'm super excited about it because I'm one that loves the feel and everything of Animal Crossing, but I eventually get burnt out on the repetiveness and everything. I think this one should last a lot longer with everything that it's looking like you'll be able to do.
I think this might be how the shop/town aspect works. Watching the treehouse stream, you can see an airplane icon. I assume that is an interface to get to other areas/have other villagers move in. Guess we will have to see later when Nintendo is ready to show more systems.
