Welcome to haken and Animal Crossing podcast your podcast dedicated to all things Animal Crossing episode. 110 is brought to you by amarok 44 one of our newest patreon patrons today Sergio and I are answering the weekly questions for the 100-day countdown discussing the recent Animal Crossing New Horizons renders and building out our holiday wish list for Doh so to begin, hello Sergio, I'm looking right at you. I truly it's good to see you. Yeah. Yeah. So in case you don't know Sergio and I are actually recording in the same room right this moment a rare occurrence. We actually have never done this so it's a it's going to be interesting. So how you been Sergio good. It's been really good really good week again still because I'm still playing for come on. I'm playing shield now. So I Basically, I'm playing the game the right way now and it's just as fun as I remember the previous Pokemon games being so it's amazing being a great week. What about yourself? Yeah. That sounds good. I've been good. I mean we drove out 10 hours to get here to California yesterday. So it was good. I think I need those days where I'm just like pretty unplugged because I find after a while. I'm just like looking at my phone too much looking at my computer too much looking and that's what I do at work, too. So I like getting a day where i'm just like I can't look at anything. I'm driving. I'm just talking to Jackie and listening to music and podcasts and that sort of thing nice, but I am happy that you're playing Pokemon the regular way instead of just a single score bunny to take down the entire thing. But yeah, I'm really hoping I can get a lot of gaming time in this week. I've played I played Pokemon for literally two minutes today. Progress being made for sure, but I am here. I really want to I guess outside of like getting through some games. I just want to play some games. I feel like I don't get enough time to just hang on. Yes it around sometimes so I've got the week off and that should be a lot of fun. Nice. Nice. Yeah, so, you know, I didn't write this in the notes, but I did want to check in with you recently. I think it was a couple episodes ago. Go that we made our predictions for when the Animal Crossing direct would be yes, and and I'm not gonna like bash you for getting it wrong because I feel like there was still some decent news, even though like the direct didn't happen. Right even slowly getting like drip fed. These little taste from like random sources lately. Yeah, but yeah, I mean it's interesting to see that like none of this is Coming out of Nintendo of America though. Like that's true. Yeah, because the first thing was of course from Mexico they had an event over in Mexico and it was Nintendo of Latin America and we got some new screenshots that showed off some cool new stuff. And then after that there was this kind of a giveaway that Spain was doing Nintendo Spain and it showed off a lot of new character renders and then out of nowhere just dropped a bunch of of renders from the game, which we're gonna go over a little bit later, but I think you were supplied on with like just the date of when use was going to start pouring out. So thank you for bringing us Jesus. Yeah, I'm still okay. I'm still in the running though everything correct? Yeah. I think I said January 15th a regular Nintendo Direct followed by an animal crossing dedicated direct, February 20th. Nice nice. Yeah, so I mean, you know, I always hope they're gonna be sooner but like just looking at the schedule. I think those are still good times pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, I agree and I think it's going to be very beneficial for Nintendo to have a regular Direct in January because they have been very quiet and like we've said before there was no big release this December. So the sooner we hear from them the better. I think people are starting to ask. Okay, what's what's going to be? For next year besides Animal Crossing. So it's the earlier they can talk to us the better - yeah, and it's getting to that point where I always see these tweets about like, you know, we're talking about fruit about noses about all of these like little tiny details in Animal Crossing and all of these tweets are like when you know, the animal crossing fans are desperate for new. So, I don't know it's it's a real bummer to see that like This is all we really have to get excited about because there's nothing else going on. So yeah. Yeah, I'm hoping they should fix it. They should fix it soon and it's coming. Yeah, and it's an it's an interesting way of getting information out there if this is being done on purpose which no need to endure probably is so, you know, we will take whatever we get. Yeah. Yeah, and we are yeah, I think we're currently doing that. We're just getting as much as possible. Go. So before we get to into the renders, we are going to go ahead and answer the day 93 through 87 questions on the 100-day countdown. So the first question is, of course day 93 when we were 93 days away from this game. It was tell us your favorite villager species. And so I'm actually wondering what years is Sergio, you know, this used to be a very difficult question. As I have a lot of species that I like a lot so it was very tough. But honestly thanks to none. Other than pocket Camp. I have a pretty easy answer now and it is actually the cups the the bear cups because I had a lot of really good friend cups in Pocket camp in my campsite, you know, the ones that you can ask to be in your camp site. I definitely prioritize the cops. So I like them a lot easy answer now. Yeah, I love the Cubs serves. So many really cute ones and the series just like always does a really great job of switching up the designs and everything. So they're really cute. Yeah for me in the past. I would have said cats no surprise there if you know me. I'm a I love cats and mostly like just the designs. There's so many different cats and they've definitely like fleshed out those characters a lot to the point where you're like How could they possibly do with cats? Yeah, it's a good point, but I've recently become a huge fan of the koalas and I just don't know what it is about them. They're really cute to me. They have like these really huge features like the giant ears and noses and eyes on their body and and they're just have little tiny bodies and usually like I'm not a huge fan of like the googly-eyed like over huge feet. Teachers on like I guess plush dolls and stuff but it just works with me with the koalas. I don't know what it is. But I think they're really cute and I like the different colors. They have I love that all of their names are very like Australia based in England. If you ever see the English names for them, at least they feel like they're just awesome places in Australia. Yeah. But yeah the koalas and I guess a little story for why they became some of my favorite. So there's this little green koala named Lyman or Lehman. I don't really know. I always called him Lyman but he's he moved into my new Leaf Town pretty early on in the game and I've always I liked him. Well at first I was like he's all right. I don't know how I feel about him. But after like get it like talking to him all the time. I was just like man. Of the man Lyman, I really liked him. And so yeah, just like over time the koalas have just won me over. So that's why I like them. Nice. That's cool. Yeah. So for day 92, our question was our favorite Town fruit and let me tell you about this one because I've gone on a journey with this one. Yeah my very first town which was on the GameCube of course was it had peaches and I was blown away the day I found out out you could have different fruit because it was essentially like that was the only Town I'd ever seen that and I had peaches and then all of a sudden I want to say somebody sent me a fruit another fruit in a letter and I was like, wait what there are different fruit this game so that blew my mind I didn't know that there were different reasons. Yeah, I guess I should have because I'd like seeing the intro and stuff and I'm pretty sure they show different fruit trees and those intros. Yeah, but I didn't know they Like I could have them in the game. Anyways, I planted I think it was a want to say was a pair or something, but I planted it and it didn't grow so I never got another one, but I think I had peaches for all that time. I don't remember what I had really in between there. But I knew bye-bye New Leaf. I wanted cherries. That's what I was going for it right berries. And so, you know, I spent the whole first day resetting my town a million times trying to find the Layouts finding the perfect fruit and everything and eventually I found that and I got my cherries and now that we've had so long with new leaf, and I've had cherries in my town forever. I'm ready for something different. So I think I'm going back to Peaches. I kind of want to go to that classic first gameplay that I had and so yeah, I think peaches are my favorite right now. I'd be okay with apples. I'd probably be okay with You still but I do really actually like cherries a lot and hence. The reason I wanted them for so long. Oh nice, but no, I think peaches are my favorite. Cool. Cool. Are you thinking are you going to be resetting again? Yes, I'm going to reset alot. I I've thought about like I love that feeling of like what you see is what you get at the beginning of Animal Crossing, but I feel like I'm going to treat the rest of my game. Like that. Oh, that's that's a good point. Yeah, so and since because you know, like I don't want to really like dictate where my villagers move into because it is going to be an option in this one where they move in you can pick where they stay and I don't really want to do that. Like I want the only time that I really dictate what I go for is the very beginning when I decide on my Island. Yeah. So yeah. I'm going to reset a lot for that reason, but it's also like me just being interested. As we've seen so little I want to see the variety in all of the islands and everything. So, yeah. So yeah, I'm going to reset till I mean one day I'll have peaches. All right, cool. Cool. Well for me it is Apple's still I had apples a new Leaf. I think I've had apples in my town and city Folk as well. I don't remember the ones before but definitely city Folk a new leaf. And I feel like it's the the factor tree fruit and it's you know it. Offers a nice contrast between the rate of the fruit in the green of the tree and honestly, I won apples again. I'm gonna go with whatever the town gives me at first, but I'm really hoping it's apples. I see your point about well, I had so many apples for so long, you know in early but even so I really hope I get them. Yeah, and I was always really jealous of the Apple designed to because they were by far the best for The perfect fruit like that. Yeah, the perfect apples just looked so good that I was like, oh man, why would you not want apples in this game? It felt like the one to go with in I at least New Leaf, but I don't know. We haven't seen like perfect fruit at all yet, even if the new renders that we're going to go over a little bit later, so we're not sure if they're coming back. But personally, I think they will just based on how this I'm already seems like it's really going to be fleshed out and have a lot, you know. Yeah, but yeah the apples they look great and you're also I agree with just like the contrast of the green and the red. Yes together. It just looks so good. Cool. Okay. So day 91 we had another question and that was what is your favorite River fish? And yeah, what which ones do you like Sergio? Mine? Is that Dorado? You know, it's really big. I kind of like it's so rare. I always felt like you are actually catching a fish. That's pure gold. You get a bunch of good whales for it too. So it looks very fancy looks nice. It's big it's rare. I like it. Yeah, and it is like worth gold because you sell it for so much to ya around. So it's always like one of those caches that is worth getting if only you know, what here's the thing. I would probably choose that one in New Horizons is If you actually like saw Sparkles coming out of the water when I was swimming around, that would be awesome. Yes. Yeah, so my favorite it's not quite gold but it does kind of have gold in it as well. But it is the pop-eyed Goldfish and I just love this fish. I love how weird it looks with its bulgy eyes and it's kind of like really I don't know. I guess I'm really into the big eye thing right now. Even though usually I'm not but regardless so I think the gold the pop-eyed goldfish is just a fun little different fish than the regular goldfish. I like the new color that it has the black color versus the I guess gold color. But yeah, it's just when whenever I get when I'm just happy to see it's big eyes looking at me and ice and I don't have the heart to sell them a lot of the time I do but for a long time, I would just put them in. In my house at home. And so I'd have like a pop-eyed goldfish in every room and I say yeah because they're cute. They they go in a little bowl eligible cool. Alright, so the day 90 question was design a new Public Works project and I'll be honest I was driving so I did and packing and doing all sorts of things to get ready to come here. But so I didn't have time I didn't have time to draw one. So there's no art piece from me this time, but I do have an idea and my idea is that I would create a water mill and this you know, the Watermill is kind of that like wooden round wheel thing that gets pushed by the water and creates some sort of energy. Yeah, as it goes because one I do really like that as kind of an environmental source of energy. Yeah, but then to is just like we've never had kind of a way or I guess items that we could place in the water outside of bridges. Yeah, we could put bridges that took us over them. But there was really no way to decorate the water really add more features to it. You know. Yeah, and so I I would like that I would like to have methods of dressing up the river a little bit more. Yeah, like, you know, I guess I also thought of doing like little paper boats that you could put in the water and follow down. Oh, but yeah, I Watermill I felt like was a little bit Easier to put up as a project just because you know, it can sit there a paper boat. It gets to the ocean it drowns. Yeah drowns it see it's over for that paper boat and but the mill seems like it's a good thing to put that'll last a while. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. I love that idea. Yeah. So what was yours Sergio? So for me I drew or not. Really I did. Signed a bridge but it's actually made out of glass and if the if we do get something like that in your horizons, I would really want it to be very very sparkly. It would look very shiny almost like Crystal, you know, it would look it would look nice. Yeah. Yeah, and I do like that you have your little rendering here of it and that you use like an actual location from the game. Yeah from a New Horizon. So I think Really cool, look it makes me feel like it's very it gives me kind of like an icy feel. Yeah, but yeah, no, I think that's really cool. I think I want to see that. I want to see different kind of materials come out and like glass if we can collect sand or something like it would be cool if we could make glass out of stuff or you know, at least use some material to turn it into a certain type of Of item. So yeah, and we can make it out of Gorilla Glass voice breaks. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. You don't want that thing breaking while people are walking over especially if they don't have their pole vault on them. Oh, yeah, they'll be stuck. But man that's an interesting concept now because we have we're going to have like flimsy items that will break definitely none of our things that we craft break. Oh, yeah. I want them to last especially because like, you know, you're Going for a certain look in a town. It would be a bummer if that bright and then yes have to go and craft it all over again. But I guess it just keeps you playing. That's that's that's a great approach to look at it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So question 89 is your favorite diving catch and this one took me a while, but was here Sergio. Oh my was easy. I want the scallop because you know whenever you get one you are guaranteed some great life. If advice from Pascal, so why wouldn't you want to you get the scallop and you get advice and it's always really good advice. You know, you're right that is a really good option just with you know Pascal he's come up in different ways throughout the series, but it wasn't till that new Leaf where we had the swimming and were able to dive where he popped up in such a very Pascal way where he was just kind of, you know, he's probably sitting around On just lounging about and then you dive down get a scallop and he's like, oh, whoa, I better go check out what this guy's got going on because I want one of that. Yeah. So yeah, I do really like how you pops up mine took a while just because for some reason I couldn't think of the name of it. I knew exactly what I wanted and for a bit I was calling it the wrong thing, but I love the spider crab and it's just this really giant crab with long creepy legs like a like a daddy longlegs. Or something but it's just amazing to me whenever I catch one and swim back up and I like whoa. What am I carrying? That thing could kill me? Because it's huge. Yeah, it's a huge crab. And so I really like it for its size its creepiness and just the fact that you go down and just grab one. Yeah from the water. I would be afraid to do that. Yeah life. All right. So question 88 this is our second to last. So we're getting close and this one's a fun one. What was your favorite villager dialogue? Well for me, it's actually whenever to Bill atures sort of engaging a conversation between themselves and your kind of they're just listening and they have a lot of different stories some most of them are pretty funny and then out of nowhere one of them asked for your opinion a do you agree with me? Do you think I'm right or wrong? What do you About this in you know, regardless of your choice, it's always a really funny outcome and I just really liked when they get so into their conversations and then they involve you too. So that's pretty cool. Yeah, I love those and I think they started popping up more. They've always been in the game. But I feel like in City Folk. They started popping up more have they always been in the game. I don't even remember now at this point, it's tough. Yeah. But yeah, those interactions are always really great where you could just see your villagers and how they hang out together. Yeah, I think that brings a lot of life to it and you're like, oh, yeah, so I'm not the only one who can talk to these animals. They can talk to each other too. Yeah, they all speak animal. He's so mine. There's some really great pieces of dialogue from the first game and the ones that I really liked were very I guess unique and just Is that I hadn't heard before but made perfect sense to me, but I don't remember which villager I had who said this but they were talking about something that made them really angry and the way they said it was that really steams my broccoli. And so you see like, you know, they're little puff of smoke coming out of their head. Yes, sir, you know, they're angry in that moment, but that's how they put like. I'm really angry right now. Like I'm heated and it's making me boil the A spot and I got broccoli in it. And so I don't know the whole image of it just makes me smile. It's a really funny way to think about being angry. So yeah, that really steams my broccoli. That was my favorite. I really don't remember who said it but it was just one of those pieces of dialogue that really stood out to me because I was like, I've never heard this but I get it and I love it. Yeah. Yeah. Alright our last Last question for this week is bug off or fishing tourney Sergio. I know my answer and I used to like fishing more but now I think I'm a hundred percent in on liking bug catching more than fishing and I'll tell you why there's just like a to me at least there's it feels like there's a bigger variety and challenge to catching bugs because You know, there's some conditions that you have to meet in order for some bugs to appear like new Leaf had ones where you were like, oh, you have to have like a blue or purple flower in your town for the peacock butterfly. Yeah exist in it at War you had to have a stump in your town because this bug only showed up on the stumps and everything and there were even ones that were like the pond skater. That's like oh this one's just on the pond skipping. Around and you have to get it from the water, you know, right and then there's even like the diving Beetle to that one has that but just the variety of being a of what you could catch was really fun to me. And then it's also like you can see them versus like fishing it it's very repetitive the the action fishing to me where you're walking up and down the river you're walking across the shore and just like your eyes are peeled to see if there's a Shadow out there. Yeah, and the only Shadows that are really, you know recognizable as a certain thing that you're looking for is the Sharks if you'll see the fin popping out and that that Edition was really cool to me because I was like, oh cool I can tell when I'm gonna catch ya or it's going to be one of those ocean sunfish which aren't worth as much but it did, you know, allow you to know what you're catching. So I do like that, you know what you're chasing after in bug. Yes, Stephen. That it's not like just you know, you throw your line out. Hopefully this is something new so it's not I'm gonna guess sell it. Yeah, but then I feel like once you see a bug that you've like never seen before like you get right into the action right there. You have to act fast. You have to think about how you got to approach it. Like, you know, the ones on the trees could get scared away. So you have to you have to be careful walking up to them and or maybe it's like one of those really fast dragon. It flies so you have to just like get right to it right now and start chasing it. Otherwise, it's getting away. Yeah, you know, yeah, so the bugs I just love that immediately the excitement begins when you see something that you've never seen. Ah, yeah, that's that's that's a very good point and you know for me it is a tough choice. I do like both activities a lot. I really love it, but I'm actually gonna go with the bug off as well. Oh, well. Yeah, so in the big reason is because what you said you actually See the box or you know what you're after, you know, what you need to do if you have limitations or if you need to work faster, if you can take your time a little bit you can see it and you know what you're gonna get right with fish. You don't really know like sometimes you can tell by the size of the Shadow, but even so you don't really know until you catch it in another part is because with the bug off it it's more like a like an activity. It's like a challenge, you know, it's like a tournament but fishing for me, it's more about relaxing so I do prefer. Fishing normally outside the tournament like I would rather fish instead of buck catch, but when it's tournament mode, I'm more interested in the bug off because it's more like action packed in a way. Yeah. No, I really like what you're saying. I almost would go the other way and a tournament though if I thought about it just because like, oh, it's a mystery to everybody but at the same time like her the shadow thing where you Kind of tell after a while. I do like the Nuance of that with fishing but I've seen you know, I've played every game so I've seen the shadow sizes change over over each game where I think the red snapper used to be a lot bigger of a shadow in older games and then that changed in the sea bass turned into a large Shadow so they kind of swapped and I was like, I was angry at first. Yeah, like what another sea bass like I thought I was done with this life. Because you catch a lot of yeah, it's why people make sure it's out of that. But yeah, like every game I feel like you have to learn the new shadows and everything, which I think it's fine. I do. Like I said, I do really appreciate that aspect and feel like that little Nuance to fishing is really cool. But I think the excitement it just doesn't match up to seeing an a bug that you've never seen. Yeah, that's true. Mmm. Yeah. All right. Well, that's all. Them for at least this week and so for everybody listening. Congratulations 87 days to go until this Animal Crossing game is out amazing. I am so excited and you know, I guess we've got about a week left of this year, which means there's one more week to go before we enter the year of Animal Crossing and there's got to be news pretty soon. So, yeah, hopefully everybody were not Waiting too much longer after this. So let's go ahead and move into what we talked about a little bit earlier, but we've got some recent Animal Crossing New Horizons renders, and these were really mysterious. I have I still don't know really where they came from but somebody like tweeted it me that there were these renders and they were all posted in this Animal Crossing fan site and I just don't know their Origins and it was even to the case of like it. Should I talk about this on YouTube because we're living now in a world where Pokemon is after people for leaking stuff. Yeah, and I'm like, well, you know, I guess I didn't leak them. I'm just looking at them as and as a fan, I feel like I should be able to react and talk about them, right? Yeah. So yeah, I don't feel too worried about that and overall though like these are a mystery honestly a gift. To us because I have no idea where they came from, but I guess to go over them really quickly. We got about a few kind of I guess storybook images. I would call them where like say you're just flipping through a picture book or something. And these are just like little scenes of characters in Animal Crossing. Each of them has about two characters and they have some different items and stuff going on and then the others are just like renders of characters. And the just the characters themselves are not like in a setting, you know, right but they do have some different clothing some different things going on. So we're going to go ahead and go through them Sergio. I want to know what you thought when you saw these. Oh, I like them a lot in in honestly. It was a little bit jarring at first like trying to determine if they were real or not. And when I saw KK cider, I knew they were pretty much real we still don't know but I'm 90% sure they are. Our in will get to KK, but overall these look very nice. They keep highlighting how exciting this new game is going to be in the little nuances the little details that we pick up on in. They just making this game very special already in it's giving us a preview of what's to come. Yeah, and I felt the same way to I was like are these real are these actually what we're looking at here, but I'm really glad that like once you saw KK U you for sure. I knew these were real and I'll say I leaned toward them being real just because just the earlier that day we had gotten some new I guess character renders from Nintendo Spain. Yes. And so those character renders some of them matched up with the new ones that we were looking at. So I was like, okay, I think these are legitimate. I think they are ones that were going to see in the future so still no idea where they're coming from. From but I'm happy that we got the yes. So let's go ahead and go through some of these and Sergio actually wanted to start with you and your thoughts on KK Slider because as you all know we have not seen any care any I guess special characters outside of Tom Nook and then Timmy and Tommy the nooklings essentially and KK sliders render. This is the first we've seen of another special character existing in this game. So Sergio Run me through your reaction seeing him and your thoughts on him and everything. I want to know. Well, my first reaction was pretty much excitement because it's really good to see him again. And then right away you kind of start seeing the differences in to me the biggest like the most striking difference right from the get-go is that he looks a little creamy. She doesn't look as white as he used to. He looks a little more texture so So I don't honestly, I'm not a big fan of the change, but I'm not going to get used to it. I'm I'm now I'm still going to love KK no matter what but it's just it's unusual. Like I wasn't expecting him to look that way like out of nowhere. Really. Another thing is that it was cool to see that Kiki was the first special character that we saw besides Tom Nook in the new clinks. Honestly. I was expecting Isabel before KK, so that was nice. Yeah, that is really special because I mean if we go back to at least our Origins with the game like Kate's the guy who greets us. Yes start. You know what I have a question for you. They're like did you know about KK Slider before playing this game or playing Animal Crossing for the first time? That's a good question. No, I didn't know. Yeah because I always wonder because you know like you run into him. He's the one who essentially creates your file for Animal Crossing the very first one and then then yeah, I don't think I feel like I saw him and I was like, oh man, there's this cool dog. Yeah, then after a while I started playing the game, you know, I never ran into him again and was like, I had gotten to that point where I forgot who KK Slider was to some extent and then all of the sudden I just happened to be walking by my train station at after 8 p.m. On Saturday and he's right there and I was just like this dog what happens if I talk to him, you know, And that's where the magic all begins. Yes, take a slider. But I also really love that like immediately you're noticing differences about kick a slider and I'm like, you know, I saw him and I was like, oh man, this is cake a slider in HD. Yeah, and I didn't really notice too much like the color thing. I didn't know until you pointed it out, you know. Yeah, so I guess what else have you noticed is different about his render and everything. So the nose looks a little more narrow that that's a little it could be the angle. To in the specially also his feet. They look they can't look flat. I don't know again. It could be the angle, but I think they kind of change him a little bit at some of the people on hey can were also discussing that maybe the color is it's a little different because of the lighting and it's more of a sunny island environment, so that could be true. But I think it's going to be a little more creamy this time around it's probably on purpose and that's totally fine. And the the actually the reason why And I saw him and I kind of realized no, these are pretty much authentic is because if you look at his eyes he is Left Eye is a little more open. It's like it's taller a little bit and he's right idea is it's a little more close. It's like he's giving a like a very faint wink with his right eye. And if you look at official KK art or renders or even the amiibo they always have that the left eye is it's a little more taller or open. So when I notice that I said, okay, this is this is legit. It now I'm going to look at all of them. That's cool. Yeah. No, I didn't know that but like he's definitely you know, he's a guy with a lot of style a lot of Charisma and everything, especially when he's performing so know that makes a lot of sense with him. Just giving you like that slight. Yank. Yeah. I'm and now that I'm looking at them a lot closer to I just I love his look. I think he's looking great. I can't wait to run into him on my And and start playing some music and I'm hopefully hopefully March 21st because that's the first Saturday, right? Oh my goodness. You are totally correct. Okay. Yeah because you know, you've complained about that in the past and one big gripe with new Leaf. Is that just like you can't see KK Slider right at the beginning, right? It takes a lot of time to get to that. So yeah, I'm surprised you didn't time travel. Yeah, but I guess you did have your two weeks off to really we focus on the game. Yeah, and you'll have two weeks on this one. Yes, man. I'm excited. All right. So let's go ahead. I think I've broken this down and several different ways. But the first thing I kind of pointed out on here was the new tool designs that we've seen for these characters the most I guess we've only really seen I would say four or five tools. Usually I would say for is what I wanted to say. I'm counting the Nook phone as a tool in this one. I think it's gonna be like a pretty key role in the game, you know, the ones that we are seeing are the watering can the neck phone a bug net a fishing rod and an Axe and the in most interesting ones are definitely the bug net and the watering can to me mostly because we've seen kind of a more updated fishing rod before in a render. So that's not exactly new but it is an update from like guess the flimsy Rod, which maybe we haven't even seen the flimsy Rock and and then the other item is the acts which is recognizably the flimsy acts. It's just the model that we've gotten used to seeing from the tree house. They used that the whole time but the bug net is definitely different like right away notice will be noticeably different because we've thus far seeing the flimsy one, which is more of a try. Angle shape. Yes, and wooden of course, but this one is like is it metal is what is the net made out of it just looks like a much more intensive type of net you know, yeah, I like it a lot more pretty much from the get-go. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I love the triangle one just because like, oh man, it's triangle. Yeah, I get that. But yeah the bug net is a really cool updated look and then the the watering can we have actually seen we've seen A wooden watering can thus far? And this one is it looks like it's a Fisher-Price type of tank and it just looks like it's blue and yellow and has look like a bright color to it and kind of more of a plasticy look to it. Yeah. No, so yeah, and then underneath their watering some new flowers, which I think a lot of the comments. I read on my video that kind of looked at all of these was that they're called hi. Since I think that's how you pronounce it, but yeah, there's some new flowers here, which we've seen now a couple new flowers. But yeah, I don't know it seems like I'm hoping the it means there's just going to be a huge variety to the the tools that we craft. Yes cousin in emphasis to them. Like they're really showing a lot of abilities with the tools so they can have maybe telling you in a way. A you're going to be using these a lot in they're going to look different because you're going to be crafting different versions of them. Yeah. Yeah, and I guess so I guess if I scrolled up I will we also get a look at the pole vault some of the the sun hammer for crafting and then another look at the acts just laying next to some wood. But yeah, it seems like the tools are going to be a big part of your game play because we've already seen that kind of come true with the axe for example, like you pick up some That you find on the floor a rock or something and then you go over tunics and you craft those items into an X and then that acts unlock some other crafting materials essentially like I start chopping the tree you get some different types of wood and then all of a sudden so it seems like this crafting business this whole system. It's going to have a lot of depth. It's going to have a lot of stuff that is going to be unlocked as we get the materials for stronger and stronger tools. Right. Yeah, so that's that's exciting to me. It's really exciting that like we're scratching the surface with this. Like I'm just putting out ideas here and already I feel like these ideas are going to grow. Yeah. Yeah. So after that I also wanted to point out just like there are tons of bags and backpacks on these characters. I want to say does every character here have a bag or backpack, I think. Just like three that don't which is insanity. It seems like they definitely added a wallaby that has a backpack shop and it's going to expand your inventory. Just putting that out there because it's a good idea. But yeah all of these bags and I wanted to ask you Sergio. Like are you feeling like are these gonna unlock more inventory space? Does it give you that impression? Yes, I think so. I really definitely hope so it would have been nice, you know, even if they're just aesthetic just for looks but how having more storage just by having any kind of bag you could even switch them around and you still get the extra storage that will be amazing. Yeah, I and the weird thing about him is like some of the backpacks for example, the one that stood out to a lot of people most is just like this bag that carries logs. Yes. And so the kind of log carrying backpack is its unique it makes people feel like Are we going to have certain bags that do certain things like is this one specifically for collecting wood or is it specifically for crafting materials, you know because we've also seen ones that have like the fish on them like a fish symbol and so does that fish symbol indicate that like, oh this is extra storage for catching fish when you do catch them because that's the one I guess the one flaw, I would say Animal Crossing has had pretty. Distantly just like managing inventory in the game. Yes is a hassle and you know, you get used to it after a while you got used to your 15 slots that you had to to store things. But you know, you had to be creative with how you use those because you're carrying tools you're doing certain things and you had to always be managing it to do the job that you wanted to do, right? Yeah. So the bags I'm hoping that it's pointing toward a system. Where we just have more ability to store things. Yes, especially because and I guess I don't have an image of this but I think back to opening the inventory in the game. We've seen kind of the bubble that pops up and yes along the bottom. There's different men. There's a lot of room for menus to scroll through different things. Mmm. So I would expect there to be open up different compartments in the future as we play the game, so So yeah, I don't know there's there's a lot that this game could do to really improve some of the stuff that has been limited thus far. Yes. Hmm cool. So the next thing I wanted to talk about was layered clothing and this is exciting. Yeah, because this seems like we're going to have a lot more options for how we customize our characters and really express ourselves. So going from the first image we've seen In this there's a girl in overalls and I guess kind of a plaid shirt like blue overalls and a plaid red shirt and we've seen this outfit before this one actually showed up. I think in the first trailer we saw this outfit, but the one thing we've also seen in that first trailer is the same shirt without the overall. So this gives me the impression the overalls are going to be of option that you can put over the actual clothing that you're wearing like Can just wear it over a lot of different things. And then the other thing we see is a character with a shirt kind of a plaid shirt tied around their waist. It's very 90s very grunge, which is cool. I'm into that look a lot. But yet like is this going to be a new way that we can wear our clothing like maybe we can take our long sleeves and say oh, I don't want to wear it as a shirt. I want to just wear it around my waist because we've kind of seen those options. Pop up in other games where we you could use a pattern and a bunch of different styles, you know, and so yeah, I don't know. How are you feeling about that Sergio? It's very exciting. I've always really wanted more variety in the clothing and the accessories that you can get in the way that you can combine them. So like you're saying it would be very nice. If you can design your clothing whichever way you want it to look and then you can decide either to wear it as clothing or as an accessory in that goes with layered clothing, you know it hopefully there's a lot of options the more the merrier for this. Yeah. Yeah, and you know layers they're just cool. I want to look awesome. I want to be able to put on like a shirt and then put on a jacket over my shirt too kind of, you know, unzipped and show like a cool design on my shirt or something while I'm sporting an awesome jacket. Yeah. Yeah, especially during the winter and things I don't know. There's so many possibilities with what you could do layering clothing. So I hope we get that for sure. The next thing I wanted to mention was the new hairstyles. So we are seeing a lot of representation for people of color. We're finally getting a bunch of new hairstyles that just didn't exist before and I've talked about this. I hate whenever I would go to Harriet and I'd say yeah, let's get my hair done and then I answer all of her questions and then I come out looking like Like Guy Fieri, I like oh my goodness. Who am I? Why is this my personality and now it's just like it seems like they've updated a lot of the hairstyles made a bunch of hairstyles that are more contemporary while also keeping a lot of the classic Animal Crossing ones, you know, so I am excited about this. I feel like It's about time we get more than what is their 16 hairstyles / gender and then eventually once you've gotten every single one of those hairstyles you unlock the other one's right. So yeah, I think everybody's been looking for way more variety from what they get because you know, like a lot of people do their hair in different ways and it is a huge way to express yourself. So and you know, it's a huge way to just capture who you are too. So I am For it. Yes, definitely and I think you pointed out that we're also getting new hair colors and I'm really really excited about that as well. Yeah, are you gonna go with like different colors? Because I feel like I'm very basic I go with the basic dark brown option for me. Yeah. No me too. But it's very nice to see other players with other hairstyles other colors. Yeah. I'm a stickler for my regular dark brown hair. Yeah, because I'm seeing a lot of people go with really fun. Colorful colors like not you know, the bright ones that aren't natural hair colors in Pokemon and I see them and I'm like man they look awesome. They just look really cool. And like I have a friend and she her character has pink hair or it's kind of like lavenderish, but I'm like man your character looks great. Yeah. I love it. So I don't know why I don't explore the hair color options too much, but I don't know. I just don't know but I do really love the colors when I do see them on other people. Yes, Mmm Yeah. The next thing we see is just some little things we can mention the new flowers, but the other thing was new bugs actually. Okay? No. Yeah, we'll talk about bugs real quick because I did want to make a couple predictions based on these things, but the new bug and I've put bugs but it's really just a bug but it's a butterfly which I don't think is one that Had in the games thus far and I thought it was like a peacock butterfly or Raja Brooke, but I think that they it is a different design. It is something new. So this is pointing to us having just new Collectibles. And one of the big things is the museum in every game which we still haven't seen but I feel like we've got to get it. Yeah, there's there's just like the whole Encyclopedia of looking through all the things it'd be perfect as an app on your Nook phone. So I feel like it just makes sense to have that so I don't know man. I how are you feeling about like seeing you bugs and fish and things we can catch? Oh, it's awesome because that just means more value to the game more longevity. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think they have ever taken out either fish or bugs or things that you can collect. Maybe there's been like a few exceptions, but I don't see why they would so just seeing new ones. That means we're getting New ones and the old ones should all come back. So it's going to be more things to get in the museum or things to catch. So more gameplay. Yeah, and they actually have taken out some and there's some there's ones in population growing on the GameCube that haven't returned but they're kind of some reasons behind it. Like for example, one of there's three fish that one's like a small bass ones just a bass and then there's like Like a large bath, so they're all the same fish just different sizes, but they're counted differently in your encyclopedia in the game. Oh nice. So there are those but beyond that like there's not there aren't too many that have disappeared but I think there are a few more but yeah, I think you're right definitely like we're we should be expecting more stuff to collect verses that versus them like deleting some to make room for others. So yeah, I Like there are definitely going to be just a lot of new ones to catch and I hope they do different designs for a lot of them for like the tanks and the I guess what would you call the enclosures for a bug that you keep whatever those are but yeah, just when you put them inside your house and display them. I hope we get a cool new way to display them. Oh, yeah, fish and Bug, yeah. Mmm. Alright, so the last thing I want to do with these I guess kind of screenshots is I want to make a couple predictions because we are getting like a vast amount of new hairstyles and probably some new flowers and everything. But my prediction is that when we see characters like Harriet and leave characters that you know have in the past kind of introduce some new Greenery some new hairstyles for us to get I think they're going to really be focused on Unlocking our options for stuff because I have a feeling we're going to have some like pretty basic hair options and I options and all sorts of things with our characters when we start but it isn't till like maybe Harriet visits Our Town one day and she's like, oh, I'm doing some haircuts here. It costs this much and you can go to her and be like, oh, they're all these new styles that I can try out while she's here, you know, so I have a feeling those characters are going to be really aimed. That doing still the similar thing but growing all of the new stuff that we have been able to do, you know, right gotcha. That would be a nice way to slowly like sort of daily be introducing the special characters and whatever unlockable they're related to yeah. Yeah, I would love just you know, like they're supposed to be the masters of their craft, you know? Yeah. So show us what the Masters can do and give us all the cool new stuff and maybe don't limit us from Having one haircut a day. Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah because you know you sometimes you just want to experiment. Yeah a bunch of different things. Yeah. All right. Well, I think that's it for these renders. Let's go ahead and move into creating our Nintendo / Animal Crossing wish list. So as you all know, it is Christmas Eve, but it's also toy day here in Animal Crossing. So we figured it's time to make our wish list for For I guess not Santa but Jingle the black nose reindeer and so Sergio and I we came up with a few Animal Crossing items for our wish list and a few just general Nintendo items that we'd like so Sergio will go back and forth on these. What is your first I guess item on your wish list for Animal Crossing the very first one the biggest wish is a limited edition original switch to the Switching at the light. That is Animal Crossing New Horizons team. I really really want one. Yes. I was going to put this on my list, but I was like, oh, well Sergio's asking for it. We can't double up we gotta get as much as out of this as possible. That's right. Yes, I want that for sure. That is I am starting to work on my set up for like more streaming and doing more YouTube stuff and I'm going to need a second DOC for that. That and I'm like well I might as well just buy another switch if that's the case so I might as well just buy one. That's Animal Crossing theater. I'm gonna buy a switch. So, you know, it just it's an easy equation. Yeah, it's simple math. But yes, I agree. I need that for sure. My first wish is a small but obvious one. I want I'm wishing for an animal crossing direct. I just I know a lot of people are like I don't need to see any more info and I'm like, okay, then you don't watch it. I need something at this point. Like I don't want them to be quiet anymore. Just give me the news. I feel like Animal Crossing is not really a game that can be spoiled. You know, but I think we're going to have a bigger discussion on that idea a little later. But yeah, I wanted an animal crossing direct. Just give us that. Yeah. Yeah. It's I really hope it happens. I do think Animal Crossing it sits. It deserves its own direct and it really helps a series like this to have its own specific direct. Like I said, I was surprised that we just mentioned three didn't get one but I think Animal Crossing needs one and I think it is going to get one. Yes, it does need one. Yeah. So what's your next Animal Crossing wish so I want them to either show or mention some Item distribution or even if it's paid DLC, but I want them to talk about it either when the game comes out right a launch or really soon thereafter. Hopefully within two weeks. I just want them to to reassure players that we're going to be getting new content. Hopefully free. I'm okay with paid DLC, but I mean free would be way better and that's how it was in New Leaf. So as long as we mentioned that in we're getting new items here and there maybe even once a month or two a month, that would be that'd be good. I want them to let players know what to expect. Yes. I agree. I think my second one kind of Falls in that vein as well where I just want there to be regular updates to New Horizons kind of like Splatoon because yeah, we do know like those those Studios. They're very huge that at least those developing teams for Nintendo and they have to be huge to some extent to just kind of minimize the time it takes to makes a lot of things. Yeah, but also minimized The stress that you're putting on your workers and luckily a Nintendo's big and they have the resources to pay for that. Yeah, not a lot of you developers have that luxury money can be hard to come by and when you're trying to hire people to make awesome awesome things. Yeah, like Animal Crossing but we you know that a lot of the same people who work on Splatoon go back and forth and there's a lot of similar influence in those games. So I want to see like monthly updates for the game. Like Splatoon and I feel like that kind of goes along the line of your free item distribution, you know, because I wanted to be free like Splatoon they give us free stuff for like what two years. Yes. Yes. It's amazing. That is so incredibly generous and you know granted like that's kind of their kickoff plan with Splatoon every time where what did we have when that game first came out five levels to play. Yeah. Now it's at like a million. It's that way more than five. So like Animal Crossing just do that. Like they kind of did that a bit in New Leaf? Like there were items on a monthly basis kind of monthly. It was a weird schedule. You really had to keep up with it. Yeah to get everything but it was it was making the game like feel special and it really adds to that real-time feel to it. So yeah. I agree. I feel like we just need regular updates. Yeah. Yeah, they're for free dump it. I don't want to pay. Yeah. All right. So what was your last Animal Crossing? Wish? Well, the last one is speaking of free. It would be a big expansion. You know how we got welcome amiibo for New Leaf. I want something like that for New Horizons and I think by the end of next year, that would be a good time to either have it out or to talk about it in. It would be better if it's free, but it in in this case. It might be like a concern if it's a considerable expansion. It might need to be paid but I just want there to be something. You know, like we have said we want something that is going to keep us coming back to this game. We already have it. We're going to be playing this for years. But if we're going to be waiting another seven to who knows how many years for the next one, you know, there's got to be something in between to change it up. Really we're going to be playing no matter what but if it's a little bit different a couple Of years into the game even better. Yeah. Yeah, and I definitely feel that too because now since this way it has been so long since New Leaf like it's literally going to be eight years in the making for this game because you leave first came out 2012 in Japan and now the next game is coming out 2020. It's not quite eight years. It's like seven and a half-ish but it's eight years number one. It's wise yeah between those so I'm just like You know, like it takes a long time to come up with all of these new ideas ways to really make this game feel fresh and everything and you can tell they're doing that with New Horizons or putting tons of new ideas into the game. So I expect them to avoid like a small city Folk style release where city Folk wasn't a very big push for the series like it didn't do too much new stuff. Yeah, and I think they're going to be aiming to do that with every animal crossing game because it's just kind of what's expected at this point. But yeah, I think they need to start thinking about how they're going to eat us Animal Crossing content in this next 10-year. Wait. Yeah, which I keep saying 10 years because I don't like to get my hopes up. Yeah that the next game will be out in like five or so, but you know, that's very realistic ya go. Like I feel like it it does take that long to make a game like this feel fresh and new Yeah Mmm Yeah. So my last I guess wish for Animal Crossing is I just want them to do and Animal Crossing concert tour, ah in the u.s. That we because I feel Japan gets all of these really cool concerts for video game music and I'm just like come on. I want to see cake a slider on stage playing. Saying all these cake a slider songs we give them today and I'm Sergio. You probably want that to yeah, and you know, you probably live in a place that's closer. That would probably be closer to a location where they'd actually host write something like that. So I'm like, yeah, I make a trip out here. Yeah, I'll come and I'll see KK Slider. Oh, yeah, I would want to see ya along with all the other musicians that are going to Up in New Horizons. Oh, no, they haven't told us. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, I guess let's go into our last few wishes which are Nintendo specific. What do you want to see from Nintendo? I guess what would you put on your wish list? So surprise surprise. I'm in Pokemon mode. So my first wish is I want a new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game and I wanted for the switch in the reason is because these games are actually like Pokemon, but very very difficult. It's actually challenging. So I want a new one. I want one with the three new starters from the gala region and it's just going to be very nice. They always have really cool very heartfelt stories actually. So just getting a new one with a nice little upgrade on the graphic side because of the switch. And again, it's like playing Pokemon would with a challenge and it's actually very difficult sometimes so I'm I'm definitely stoked for that. Yeah. I love Pokemon mystery. Dungeons and it's exactly because of that like they're tough games and if you want a really tough and I guess tough Pokemon experience. That's the way to do it. Yeah. Yeah. Mine is one that I see a lot of people ask for and I'm definitely on that train with them but Pikmin for I just want more Pikmin. I always really enjoy the games and I really liked Pikmin 3, but they're just the experience of A bit on the Wii U Hardware felt clunky and kind of not well thought out to me it felt like it forced Gamepad stuff and I'm just like yeah, I just want and just give me Pikmin I can gyro control aim. Yeah and be fine. And because I do it in Splatoon pretty easily like I play with the motion kind of stuff. So yeah Pikmin for that's what I want. What's your next one? Cool? So next for me. I'm sorry another Pokemon game and I really want to Remake of diamond and pearls in if you go by the Remake series basically like the side games like they keep going back to older games. These are the next ones and I think let's see in ultrasound and ultramoon. I believe there was a little bit of a hint towards Diamond and Pearl. So overall, you know, what you might have been in the let's go games actually, so that's even more recent. So I really think it's a matter of just waiting for these. I think they're going to be awesome. These games have my My favorite gaming soundtrack. So just getting it revamp or orchestrated. It's going to be amazing. Yes, that's always really fun just to feel hear the updates to the music and everything. But yeah, this is a popular choice. I think it needs to happen. I Gen 4 is one that I've wanted to go back to for a long time because the way I played it ruined the experience for oh I didn't I guess it didn't like ruin it, but it was it did leave me feeling Like I did I was annoyed. I was annoyed when I played that game the way I played it. So now I'm just like all right. I need to revisit this because I feel like I look at it unfairly as like there's one specific thing that bugged me and it was mostly me on me. So right because I do think back to some of the stuff and I'm like, oh, yeah, that was pretty cool. I do want to experience that again. Gotcha. Okay. My next one is WarioWare. Game, I want WarioWare. I've always loved minigames in Mario Party and micro games in WarioWare. Just take them to the next level. It's so fast. It's quick. It's hilarious. The art style is off. Its off. I don't even know where it's off. It's just gone some different direction. Yeah, you don't even know. So I love WarioWare. I think they're fun. I think they're hilarious and I just want something Charming. Or non stressful, even though can be a little stressful. They that's games get fast. Yeah. Yeah, and you know, those are a lot of fun for single player but also for multiplayer in with the switch with a share the joke on really easily that's going to be awesome. Yeah, it's gonna make all sorts of things crazy. Yeah. All right. So I think we're on our last ones, right? Yes. My last wish list for from Nintendo for next year is either a new per Mario Strikers game like the soccer game that we had one for the GameCube one for the week. It would be great to have one on the street or if I cannot get that maybe a Mario Golf game of the switch. I feel like that's more likely I'm good with either one. Probably more people would play Mario Golf and I know you're a big fan and have a lot of friends that are big fans. So either one that would be that would be pretty awesome. Yeah, I would get both of these. Oh nice. Yeah right away. I am a huge Mario Golf and those Always been funny enough my favorite Mario Sports series just because I like the variety and all the courses like all the different characters that are in it and they just feel fun as golf players to me. Yeah, I wrote Mario Golf fan fiction in fourth grade. So yeah, I was into it. I was really into it. So yeah, I would not mind another Mario Golf game cool. Alright, my last one is Is one that I'm sure you want to Rhythm Heaven. Yes. Yes. I love Rhythm Heaven. I love beets and keeping up with them and the songs are always so catchy and fun. And yeah, that's a real adventure to go see ya. Those are our wish list items. Hopefully all of them come true. Of course, they would I don't see why not Nintendo you've heard it from us. All right. So let's go ahead and close out the show. With our Higgins Islander corner, and for those of you who don't know every single week. We asked our patrons on patreon a question and read some of their answers here on the show for you. This week's question is which is better bug off or fishing tourney. So we are keeping this in line with our 100-day countdown Challenge and asking them one of these questions from The Challenge each week. So this one Sergio we've already answered so we'll just go back and forth on our patreon. On answers. So yes, would you mind starting sure thing in the first answer is by Riley G and they say fishing tournament for sure. I feel so much more successful catching fish as opposed to bugs. Hmm. That's interesting. I mean it gets in the tournament mode. You kind of feel more like you said to me because you don't know what you're gonna get and then once you get it, it's like a surprise to everyone participating. Yeah, and I'll say there is that like tension whenever you throw your line out where you really have to pee A attention to the fish and sea and really react to it. Yeah, so I get that for sure the thrill in the tournament. I agree with that. Yeah. So Cody bear said, I've always enjoyed the fishing tourney more. I personally love fishing in animal crossing the most. I feel like I'm not very good at catching bugs. Yeah, I guess yeah, you kind of have to approach bugs in a different way, but the fishing one it's a repetitive action. I feel Makes it accessible like I've complained about it earlier, you know, but I do recognize that like, you know, you get a lot of practice with it and it becomes something you can learn and improve at yeah. Yeah, definitely. So dragon flame says I would say the bug the bug off can bug off so it sounds like they want fishing more. Yeah. Yeah. So real life Cloud said I'm going to say the bug off especially if the contest is for a specific. Of bugs / fish when fishing you can look for the right Shadow size, but it's always hit or miss if you're getting the right fish when bug catching you can actually see what you're catching. Also. I really like that that's a good reason to like it to Nat is a very unique chameleon style character. So yeah. Yeah and yeah the but the tournaments do come off very interesting when you're catching certain things too. So I like that appeal to it. Oh, yes, definitely. Really so X and the MPX MDB says the vector knee is easy as you can usually go to the island or somewhere else to get a huge bug. I like the fishing tournament because I feel more proud catching fish as big fish are rare and that's true. And then sometimes you just want a regular fish and you get trash. So yeah, that just gives you fishing. Yeah. Yeah, and I guess you can kind of like cheese the bug off. So by doing the island. Yeah, I get that for sure. I'm so Winnie World said I like bugs a lot. But I feel it's much easier to catch fish because you can easily see their shadows in the water and bugs aren't always around. It leaves me much more successful in the end so fishing tourney. Yeah, and I guess that's there is a little bit more consistency with the fish for sure. Like, you know, you can just walk around and eventually you'll run into one in the river. Whereas the bugs you can run. You can just like be looking for some and not find them. There's a lot more. Ground that they cover. Yeah, and no real set path to follow to find them. Yeah. I remember he took forever to me at least to get the tarantula and a scorpion. Yeah, they could pop up anywhere and sometimes like many times for me. They pop up next to a pond or river and you accidentally scare them in and then you're like, it's dead. I definitely just killed this one. Oh, well nice so our last chance. For this week is by Kulu and they say I like bug off because you can get to hunt down what you want. Is that a hoping that it's a good fish that is sponsored for you. Yeah, like we said it I think it's one of the biggest appeals of the bog of they actually can see what you're after so you can decide to skip what you're not or you know, if you want to catch them still you can yeah.

It's Toy Day, which means Sergio and I have met up to record this episode in person together. We start the show by answering the week's 100 Day Countdown questions. We are only 87 days away from Animal Crossing New Horizons now. We also go over the latest renders we've seen from New Horizons. We don't really know where the renders came from, but they look great. Finally, we make a wishlist of things we want to see for Animal Crossing and from Nintendo. We end the show with Haken's Islander Corner and see what our patrons think of bug catching and fishing.
