Animal Crossing Direct Nov. 2, Miitopia featured in JP stream (no mobile/Switch)

And people were wondering how they could have a direct dedicated to an update for a 4 year old game.

Apparently it's by giving away the sequel for free.
Yeah I wonder if this started as a sequel but then they moved onto Switch so rather than scrapping that work, they just decided to release it as a free update.

That's a nice update and all, I could buy one or two cheap amiibos but.
I have an old 3DS XL, so I would need to buy an adaptator. And it's 20€. Too costy for a game I'll probably play again for 5-10 hours at most.
 
Loved it.

Got confirmation of Sanrio furniture in the West, which I was praying for.

Also that secret storeroom looks nice. I won't lie, I'm a massive hoarder XD

So I missed the direct. If you don't have amiibo or cards, does the update even matter to you?
Happy home designer style furniture movement is in, and tom nook will buy your town and let yo upstart over with a ton of money if you want. There were probably some other things but I was only half paying attention lol

Definitely! There are some big QOL improvements and new mini games you can play by collecting in-game Wii U or 3DS hardware.

Am I wrong or did they change the way you place and re-arrange furniture? It's like in Happy Home Designer now using the touch screen right?

And if you want to start your town from scratch you don't have to start a new game and start from 0, you can sell your previous town for a ton of bells and begin your new town with a fat stack of cash.
 
Sorely tempted to start over with that "nest egg" now. What a good feature. Is there any way to save the old town in case I change my mind later?

lmao, so the Miitopia feature was just a heads up that there'll be a direct for it in three days

Anyway that was weird. I'll need to get some AC cards now tho to trade them for the two I actually want

This update looks big enough to make me go back.

I'm worried all my favorite villagers will be gone though. :(
