So, chances are, you already know there was a special Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct late last night (or early this morning for those in the UK), but if not, I highly recommend heading over to watch it<\/a>. Also, go pre-register now<\/a> if you haven’t yet. <\/p>\n

I mentioned a while back<\/a> that I was a bit apprehensive about an AC mobile game. Not because I didn’t think it’d be good or my general aversion to mobile games, but because AC could easily fit into a lot of terrible tropes in mobile gaming involving awful energy bars, lots of waiting, and not much to do or even being a very puzzle focused game focusing more on minigames than any of the big aspects of Animal Crossing itself.<\/p>\n

In a way, I was partially right–the game does seem very “Kingdom Builders” style with its crafting, earning craft materials through quests and gathering\/general grinding, and building up an area, but the thing is: There’s no energy bar in sight which is a really good thing<\/b>. And while some things WILL have a timer (Amenities):
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe good thing is there will be a lot of other things you can do in the meantime. You can fish, you can bug catch, you can gather stuff, you can help villagers, you can craft some other things.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThere’s so many options and with the game being real time too, you also have a lot<\/b> of time to do it. <\/p>\n

While you’ll mostly be customizing a camp site, there’s a lot of great new interactive items–a pool, a merry go round, a skate park… And seeing the villagers interact with them in all new ways is just really awesome??
