The amount of money i would pay for new leaf on the switch though

[redkid]

Contrary to people not wanting them to port or remaster the old games and would just rather them make a brand new one from scratch, I'd actually want them to do this with New Leaf as it was the definitive Animal Crossing experience in my opinion. Issues and gripes for the game aside, it still felt more complete than New Horizons in my opinion, and still to this day puts New Horizons to shame in terms of content and how many furniture items and customization options it has. New Horizons did bring new things to the table, but if they made a New Leaf HD with some New Horizons features sprinkled in, I think it could very well be one of the best games in the series, but also do absolutely amazing in sales. They just need to make it happen. Whether it's on the Switch as a nice thank you and love letter to all the players who bought New Horizons also for not leaving them in the dust, or something they open for the Switch 2 to boost up hype for the console as well as hype up an eventual brand new entry to the series are something the developers NEED to consider, please!

Why does Nintendo hate animal crossing so much? Esp since it’s one of their top selling franchises!?

[drowsyfantasy]

As someone who hadn't even HEARD of Animal Crossing until a friend let me borrow their 3DS, I would LOVE to be able to play some of the old games!! Especially the GameCube version - it seems like it would be SO EASY to bring over, if they would only put GameCube games on Switch Online!

New leaf will always be my ultimate Animal Crossing I think ❤

[roseprevost]

I have HHP, and Bob showed up on vacation. Obviously I had to build his vacation home. :)

I miss the online island so much easier to make friends in new leaf and the hourly music so much better with piano

[TheeAiDiva]

Why they can just make an ultimate ac game combination of all games in one game I miss watching that big tree grow lol😂 call it crazy that iconic big sapling tree it’s a vibe being under it sitting at the brick box 😂 and music play and showcase the history of your accomplishments as mayor villager moved in so precious

Open world like Zelda just like the Mario kart ac track

Having an Animal Crossing Population Growing remake with new features added would be nice.

You said the Switch successor will be announced "before March 2024" when it should be "before March 2025"! Not a big deal I just thought I'd point it out.

1:22 Before March 2024? It's already August.

TLDR: Give us New Leaf while we wait 8 years for the next console and AC game.
Nintendo hates their Animal Crossing fans it's been like this since the beginning. People who discovered AC with NH in 2020 (majority of fans imo) are just now learning this. It was 8 years between New Leaf and New Horizons and if you consider the amount of time between the Switch being released and NH being released (3 years) it probably won't be until years after Nintendos next big console that we actually get another mainline AC game. That all said, New Leaf was the best installment of ALL TIME so in the meantime of the potential 5-8 years we get a new Animal Crossing, THE LEAST Nintendo could do is give us the ability to play New leaf again. It had way better music, way better path options, was simpler. Your village really came together over time instead of being such a daunting task to make it amazing. Don't get me wrong, I love New Horizons, but it has never hit the same as New Leaf. Part of that could do with the console being the 3ds which was an amazing handheld for A LONG TIME. Anyway, I'm glad there's so many AC fans now because before New Horizons, I knew 4 people that played the game and one of them was my best friend who I forced to play and the 3 others were my sisters.

Only way I can think of is that with new console release hopefully we get one last update to accommodate, while at this update you can update Kappin so he can take you to GameCube town port. I just haven’t thought of an idea to connect to the bus station to let’s go to the city unless you can open up a holiday shop/post office in the museum, run by Phyllis who you see to organise a trip voucher to take to airport and instead of going right once through the gate you go left and use the loading screen to tell the story of how you go from sea plane to bus

I found Bob on a NMT island, I wish i could've gotten him but i had like 3 Lazy villagers already 😢 maybe next time though.

[ztarfy]

STARFYS ON THIS YRS ONLINE UPDATE?!??! NO WHAT I WAS NOT TOLD OF THISSSS THATS BIG NEWS

[Mizra]

They may hold it put for Switch 2. Like maybe the processing of GC games or similar could be added to the hardware with Switch 2. But I would love to play some of the old games. At least the original and New Leaf, personally.

[rikkaqueen]

I didn't know that Bob was so paranoid about being a video game character lol

[ignatiousmary]

I only have the handheld old Animal Crossing games like Wild World, New Leaf, and Happy Home Designer. I dont have a gamecube or Wii.

[haydenyuy]

To be honest, I wouldn't want a port or a remake of the original. Mainly because if they do that they would have to change everything that made the original awesome. Like Resetti at you for not playing "correctly". The villagers would probably not be mean or get mad at you for things either. I noticed that Nintendo did something to the villagers in ACNH because when I went 6 months without playing the villagers didn't seem to care as much as they did when it first came out. When my friend didn't play for one month the villagers kind of gave them a guilt trip for being gone so long. After 6 months I didn't get a guilt trip. Just a quick missed you and that's it.

I would love to play the older games after hearing all about how different they were for New Horizons, the only AC game I've played. Hopefully Nintendo's next system will have them! Bob's Gang!
