Anyone planning on picking up on Friday or pre-ordered?

I'm an AC noobie, so think I'm going to get the physical version in case it doesn't click with me.

Same boat, first AC, but pre-ordered a physical copy.

Watching the direct a couple weeks ago got me more excited than I thought it would. My Switch hasn't seen much use this year as I've been diving into Xbox game pass, but I imagine this could turn things around.

Trying to stay away from most reviews to ensure that first experience is as fresh as possible.

I've been on PS4 mostly myself, until I got back into Zelda recently.

I know what you mean about experiencing it fresh with no spoilers but as I was still on the fence I thought worth watching a few reviews rather than spend £40 only to sell on in a week at a loss.

My physical copy shipped from amazon this morning. Which I’m giving to my son as an Easter present.

probably grab myself a digital copy at some point so I can play too.

Do you have separate Switch systems? I take it you're aware you can only have one island per console regardless of the number of profiles or copies of AC.

So who’s everyone got for their starter villagers ? :D I got Rory and Reneigh.

I also got cherries for my fruit. And my airport is blue.

so pretty happy with that.

Audrey and Samson are my villagers, I presumed everyone had the same starting characters but I guess not (AC noobie). Cherries here too.

Introduced my 5 year old little girl to this and she loved it, filled her tent with fish tanks and already bought new clothes and just waiting for delivery. Is it right you get stuff in your mailbox at 9 and 5?

Cant remember who I got but got apples.

How does it work if my wife wants to play the game also. Will she appear on my island?

Yeah she will need her own profile on the Switch, when she starts the game she'll go through the same starting tutorial to place her tent etc.

She can play as normal and you will both be on the same island.

Once in game she can call you from her Nook phone, or you can call her and then you can play together.

One of you will be the leader (you can switch) and has more functions, the secondary person is more restricted and anything they pick up goes in the box near Tommy or Timmy in Resident Services.

Hey guys, would you get a physical copy or digital download? I've never played a AC game before but heard digital would be better because of how you jump in and out of the game.

I'm intrigued with the game style and during this time f craziness I think it might be a good game to try.

I went physical as wasn't sure if I'd like it (I do) so could sell on if not.

Depends if you change games a lot, my Zelda cart basically lived in my Switch for 2 years, can see AC not being removed for months so not a big deal for me.

Because the rock will smash, and break. You can farm nuggets from rocks if you hit them with a spade and haven’t eaten fruit :)

Thanks, trying to avoid too many guides and online resources so didn't realise eating a cherry would make me superhuman... :)

I smashed 2 on my island, pleased to hear they respawn.
