Welcome to haken and Animal Crossing podcast your podcast dedicated to all things Animal Crossing episode. 104 is brought to you by death Smith one zero three eight one of our newest patreon patrons today Sergio and I are going to be talking about shops throughout the Animal Crossing series and what we're playing while waiting for Animal Crossing New Horizons, so to begin hello. Oh Sergio, how are you doing? Hi, Chuy. I'm doing pretty awesome. You know, I really liked when it gets dark early and it's November in a Pokemon game is pretty much almost here. Honestly. The only thing lacking here in California is the cold weather. I'm just waiting for that last part and I'm good. Yeah, it takes a while for it to cool down over there and you know, it was crazy because at the beginning of this Autumn we had like really freezing temperatures and it just felt like autumn Skipped completely and it was just winter already and now it's been it's been more normal. It's been night a nice temperature lately. So I've been enjoying it believes are all changed colors. Now, they're falling all over the place. I've crunched a bunch of them. I see. Yeah, so it's been a good time. But yeah, I guess I mean Pokemon it's right around the corner and we're probably going to talk about it a little bit later. But are you getting sword or Shield? I don't remember. Amber I am getting both. All right. Okay, that makes sense. And then are you getting them physically or digitally? I'm very tempted to download at least one of them but I'm gonna be a good boy if you will and I'm gonna I'm gonna buy both physically. Okay, cool. I have I mean I have Shield already downloaded on my switch. I'm just waiting it for it to be Thursday night at 10 p.m. For me so I can play the game now. But I'm excited for it. But before we get into that, let's go ahead and start this show. We're going to be talking about shops in Animal Crossing and my last Friday video that just came out was about shopping and shops in the game, you know, and how we're going to be I guess kind of shopping in this one because we do have the crafting mechanic, but we also can talk to Timmy or Tommy and see what they have in stock to sell you. Yes, so I wanted to talk about like the history of shops throughout animal testing and kind of I have a little a big list of them throughout each game and we're going to kind of see how they grew how they changed what shops were added throughout which games and everything but I will say that I focused here on things that essentially you can spend money there and I may have some that are don't really fit that category, but it's essentially a thing. You can walk into and pay money to get something out of it because you know, they're a bunch of free things like sending mail, for example, you know or visiting the museum like those don't really cost anything but there are some things within those that do. So anyways, let's go through these so I started out with population growing and there are not too many shops in this game when I was looking back at it. Essentially, there's no X and you can buy clothing and furniture there. Yes, and that's the weird part about it. Like you can buy clothing. Yes at Nook store. Whereas Able Sisters like that it exists, but it's only for making designs. You can't really buy clothing there, you know, and that's weird. Isn't it that the yeah, she was at one point didn't sell clothes. Yeah. Yeah, it still feels weird even though you know, that's how We started but it just doesn't match what we're mostly used to know. Yeah, and everybody is so like specialized with their shops in Animal Crossing to so it makes it even weirder for that. Yeah. So then we also do have some occasional appearances like things like the black market where the black is crossed out, but it's crazy Reds shop, you know, and you're sure to get some crazy deals. No, he's going to rip you off. It costs a lot to shop at crazy Reds. Like you think things things a new Leaf. Don't cost too much in Crazy Reds, like back in the original game. I feel like the cheapest thing there was like seven thousand bells and it was I don't know a lamp, but he did sell the paintings and things and even then you didn't know if you were going to get a bootleg. Here and a legitimate painting. Yeah. Yeah, you just spent like ten thousand bells on this thing. So it's place. It truly did rip you off in those early games and I miss that. I wish that that was still a thing because getting you getting money in that first game was hard to begin with. Yeah. Yeah, and you had to really pick and choose what you're going to spend on or you were going to be fishing all day to get anything. But yeah, absolutely. Out of that one. There was Katrina she would also show up and she was pretty cheap. It was I think it was only a hundred bells or so to get your fortune told nothing too crazy. Excuse me. We did have characters like Gracie Grace actually exist, but they didn't really have their own shop or anything, you know, and then I didn't really count I guess Joan because she's more of a traveling salesperson, you know. That's right. So I didn't really put her on there. But you know, you can buy from her every Sunday still. Yes. So from there, I guess wild world is wild world actually added quite a bit and looking back. I was like, oh man, there's some like real Staples to the series here. So you still had annexed shops and you still had Able Sisters, but the big difference here is no cook stopped selling clothing and that finally went to Able Sisters. Thank goodness and Ice. Yes, because you know, he truly had a monopoly on the market then that's true. He sold it all like he was your One Stop Shop for literally everything in the game. So it's good. It's a good thing. We've knocked him down a few pegs. So yeah Able Sisters sell clothing. That's a good thing but not only that they also sell accessories now because this is a game where they added hat and glasses and you know, all those cool accessories that you could put on your character. So that's a good change. But from here, this is this is where the cool big stuff. I think happened and one of the big things is that the museum now had a downstairs area called The Roost and the roost was the coffee shop where Brewster was introduced into the game and you could buy coffee. Yes, but I mean everybody knows the big draw to that coffee shop was Saturday nights when KK Slider was there playing you some music and you don't, you know, you don't really have to buy his music. He just gives you a bootleg of whatever you plays. Yes, but yeah I said was that it was really cool to have a new character having you thing to do and it was generally pointless but still very nice, you know because you just like you sat down drink some coffee and it was a it was a nice time. Yeah, just relax. Yeah, though. I always did worry about my character because I was like you're drinking that really hot. That's gonna burn your mouth. You're not going to be able to taste things for days. Days, you may damage some taste buds and he won't come back. So I was always worried about my character nice. So then from there we also had Shem poodle get introduced in this one and this one was a weird one too. Because once the only got it once you got the biggest store in the game, which was looking tins. And so once you got an acquaintance shampoodles would show up in the back and Julie was just you know, he finally could get your hair done because they introduced hats which meant you can take off hats and not wear one at all. And you know, you get you get your hair done the thing that bothers me about getting my hair done as I always I always do it without looking at a guide the first time and I always end up with like Guy Fieri spikes and I'm just like, why is this my personality? That's not cool. I don't think I look like that on the inside just flames and spiky hair. Yeah. Yeah, so, okay. And then once again, you do have some occasional appearances from crazy red and Katrina, so they kind of they do the same thing essentially and then city Folk comes around and for it being a minor update to Wild World. I've got to say the update seems bigger now that I've listed things out. Because we have you know, we have anacs-- enable sisters always the Staples here. The one cool thing about Nooks shop is once you do get it up to nicking tins. You can actually he'll ask you a question and you can revert the shop to previous Nook shops, you know. Yeah, so that's a really cool feature there, but you had the roost again and these were all essentially located in your town like the roosters. Inside of the museum which yes was also in your town. So that was still there. But then you have the city in this actually added a ton of things because there's some returning things like shampoo bottle comes back, but now they have their own shop in the city, but now you have the Marquee which is essentially a theater a comedy theater. It's not very funny. I don't recommend it. But you do get emotions after you watch their terrible show. It is in its kind of worth going. Yeah, there's something there for your for your troubles. Yeah, exactly. So you don't have to just suffer through everything for nothing and then you have Katrina who has her own shop there. So and she's moved off of that. I guess traveling tent that she used to have and she's now settled down to a little shop where you can get your fortune told so So that's a good change and then you also had crazy read that and he stayed there at all times, but it was very tricky to get to crazy red in this game. So he was in a back alley as one does business when they don't have quite legitimate Goods, you know, maybe they're stolen. Maybe they're well, you know, he would put them as found he found them and You know, he may have five finger discount it. But anyways, so you have to actually get invited to shop there. So if you knock on his door, he says whoa. Whoa. Whoa, you are not my cousin cousin. You do not have a ticket to get in here. I don't know who you are. You're probably going to call the cops on me scram. So he kicks you out and then it's not till somebody one of your sketchier villagers, you know, they talk about about they talk crazy read up. They say they go way back and so, you know, they're probably sketchy but they essentially give you they tell you about crazy Reds shop and then I think in the mail, I believe it worked is they'll send you a letter that's an invite to go and Shop there and so from there you can actually show crazy read that invite and you're in you're in the club The Exclusive Club of crazy red and it's all good. It's all really So yeah, once they're at once you're there you can you know, get ripped off some more. So yeah, it's pretty cool. Anyways, so the big new things here there. There are a couple of them kind of a few the one of them doesn't really count because it doesn't work very well, but there's Gracie Grace's shop. So we've gone so many years of her just showing up and being mean to us and telling us our fashion sense is terrible. Oil and you know maybe if we're lucky she'll give us one of her cool designs, you know, whenever exclusives but now we don't have to go through all of that. She can judge us from the comfort of her own home will go to her and so once you go there you can you essentially just find out how poor you are because you don't have enough money to buy anything. And once again, I feel New Leaf was very easy to get money, you know, so buying Things from Gracie Grace's shop before was close to Impossible. Yeah. So anyways, you see her clothing and furniture series there and it's pretty awesome. It's pretty cool that she has like four different seasonal clothings and and Furniture Series. So it's pretty cool that it gives you at least a good three months to save up for them. You know? Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, and then outside of that it's not really a A shop but it is an introduction to our good friend kicks if you talk to him, I think for 500 Bells Hill Shine Your kicks, essentially. Yes, and this was the way you kind of customize your shoes. So I feel like I always did it and would get blue. Did you ever get your shoes shined by Kicks? Yes. Yes. I don't remember what color I got. But yeah, he was he was one of my favorite characters introduced in that game. For sure. Yeah. He's so cool. I love his little Hat and everything like he was always dressed. So awesome. And yeah, I like that character lat so the last shop that was introduced here and it never worked in never will and it will probably never make a return but isn't the auction house and this one was I guess it was run by Lloyd who is a very unfortunately forgotten character. He's one of the living gyroid Xin the world. Yes who, you know even made a couple of appearances you get your Lloyd gyroid in population growing the very first game there outside of your door and then he shows up again in City Folk, of course, and I did you ever get this to work. Do you know how it worked at all? No. No, I don't remember having it worked honestly. No. Yeah, so I don't know you talk to him. He'd say like put up in the item. I think one day I went in and I noticed there was an item in the shop and I was like wait, how did that happen? And I never I didn't buy it. I never knew how to do it. So yeah, I think it was essentially like because there was the we connect 34 was that what it was called? Yes, wiiconnect24. Yeah, so you would essentially use that and it was kind of like I guess equivalent to the spotpass features and on the 3DS, you know where yeah data was sent over the Internet while the system was like in sleep mode. Or something. I don't really know exactly how it worked. But essentially like you would get some data back and you would see stuff show up in the auction house. So people could place bids and things and it was a great idea I think but I just don't think anybody ever got it to work and I wouldn't mind if they Revisited it and maybe gave us also a Lloyd amiibo because he's one of the few characters I think one of two characters that does not have an amiibo technically three, I think Hmm. And those three are Lloyd Harvey and wisp which does show up if you scan in a certain amiibo, but he doesn't have an official amiibo for himself, you know. Yeah, that's kind of strange. Yeah, he leads the whole amiibo thing. Yeah Harvey does too. So those are two characters that are like pretty amiibo Centre Yellow Leaf who don't have amoeba. Yeah. Okay, so finally, Lee we get to New Leaf and this list it gets along it gets really long with newly because New Leaf is like shopping Central and it's now looking at it all kind of listed out. I understand why they made it so much easier to get money in this game and it's because they're like double maybe triple the amount of shops that were in City Folk. No, I think it's about double which is pretty insane. Yeah, so There were three different places where there could be shops. There was the town. Of course. There was your Main Street and then there's everybody is kind of Forgotten one the island gift shop. So I'm going to go ahead and start with Main Street since its longest one of the list but now you have knuckling switch. They've taken over and looks old business. They're now selling furniture and things and you know, they're the business tycoons of this game. So then you have Able Sisters once again, but this time they've added an accessory section with labelled in charge. Yes. Oh, yeah, that's the big new feature with them outside of that. They do generally the same thing there was an update to the designs that you could make in that one. So that one's cool. And then you get a bunch of cool new things. Like the gardening center is a new one and this is essentially Leaf shop you get all of the Landscaping things you And I think the big bummer about this one is that it eventually ends up merging with the TNT Emporium. Yes. That's right. It's such a bummer to see it like because I love the little building that he has it just it screams Leaf. Whereas when you walk into the TNT Emporium. So like gaudy the lights are all bright and everything. It's it's just it doesn't say Leaf to me. Yeah, I agree. Hmm. I want I want him to have his own shop again. Yeah, yeah. Yeah people much better and then you have kicks is finally upgraded to a shop in this one. He's got his very own place and not only that he does more than just shine shoes. Now. He actually doesn't do that at all. Yes sells shoes and socks and leggings to so yeah. I think that's special. I think I have everything from his shop to if I recall I was keeping track on it on an app, but maybe I'll look back one day. Nice shampoo dough is kind of the same. She's got her own shop again, but then another big new one is Nick's home. So no cook Tom Nook the thomna K. He's moved on from the kind of business tycoon thing and he's gone into real estate, which is you know, it's a good fit for him. Yeah, that's where he always found his passion. So now you essentially can buy exteriors for your home you pay off your loans and stuff and get upgrades to your home and even like change the I guess the exterior style into like a castle modern or the cottage look. Yes. So yeah, that's a cool one. This is a strange one. I put on the list, but it's the photo booth and oh, yeah. This is technically not a shop. But essentially the only function it only functions if you pay it. So yeah, if you pay the photo booth you'll be able to buy or take A new ID photo so nobody ever does it more than once. Yeah, essentially you take a photo at the beginning of the game and that's what you look like forever. I think actually though I think people do revisit it when they go and change their character up pretty yes exactly. Yes. So so it's always there and then once again, you have the fortune shop. This one takes a while to unlock you have to have a fortune. Told in your town by Katrina 20 times. So if you only have one character living in your town, it'll take about 20 weeks to get her. But if you have for it should only take about five weeks if you get a fortune with every character and if you have lots of friends, you can do it in just one week. Yeah and just have 20 people visit you and then here this is probably my favorite of the new ones but it's the dream sweet with Luna. At a pier and she allows you to take a little nap and visit some dream towns. She'll also pay you if you update your own dream address. So oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. She gives you a lot. 5,000 Bells. That's pretty money. Right? Yeah, but yeah the dream sweet it's always a good place to stop by and just explore other towns. I love that feature. I used to do it once a week until I canceled my oh weekly updates. Okay, and then we have once again Gracie Grace does show up in this one reminds you that you're poor and she shows up at the top of TNT Emporium and she fits she works with this whole story as yes. Yes. I think that's the shop for her. I don't think it works for leaf, but it definitely works for Gracie Grace and then here's a kind of lesser thought of shop one, but the happy home showcase where you could go and look. Other players homes, you could actually buy five items a day from that. Yes, that's right. So yeah, it worked out OK so let's move into the town. The town has retail the roost and Harvey's RV park. So retail is a brand new shop. Of course led by everybody's favorite. I'll pack a couple Cyrus and Reese. They're pretty awesome. I do love that. It's like a it's very Mental this shop to me. So, you know because it's very focused around like taking in your old furniture refurbishing it getting it all fixed up and then it's also like a consignment shop to where you can place your own items for sale and your villagers can come by and by them as well as as other players too, you know. Yeah. Yeah. That was a really cool feature. Yeah. So I really I love this shop. I definitely want something like it to return. We know so little about shops in New Horizons. So it's hard to know what's going to happen. But this one is probably the one I want the most if I'm being honest, I'm out. Well Leaf is the one I want the most awesome hoping it means like new things to plan to new cool looks for our town, you know. Yeah, but this one this just like captures our own lifestyle at least Jackie and me, you know, yeah because we shop a lot of second hand stores. Us and we like we just got a couch reupholstered like two months ago. So it's essentially how we buy things in this shop. Yeah, this shop represents us very the roost is very cool in this one because it's finally its own building. And yeah, I think the one unfortunate thing is that it doesn't have like a stage or anything for KK Slider to play. Because I think it'd be fun if he'd like took a one night off of club elal, which I didn't count in here because you don't really pay for anything Club, LOL, you know, yeah. Yeah, so I wish he took like one night off and just played at the coffee shop. Yeah, I think that'd be cute. And then finally, we have Harvey's RV park and this one was added after the welcome amiibo update and essentially it added a lot of items from happy home designer. So we had a bunch of returning characters in the form of I guess the RV cards and then yes, those got you items that were added in happy home designer like I was saying so this gave you just a bunch of new things that you could buy a bunch of new things that you could For and it uses its own currency, which was the meow coupons. So yeah, it was different. It was cool. And if you talk to him when he had he was feeding the birds he'd give you the bird seed so you can feed them too. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, and then like I said, the last place that has a shop is the island and that has its own gift shop which has a lot of I guess unique Furniture like you have the mermaid series you but have a bunch of like Sailors things, you know, yeah. Yeah, so yeah, there was a lot of cool stuff. And once again, this one also used its own currency in the form of like those metals that you'd win from playing the island tours. So yeah is very different a lot of a lot of variety with this game in the in terms of shops, but it was definitely a shopping heavy game as and they recognize that and gave you tons of money to make that happen. Yes. Yes in a lot of shops that like you mentioned they have their own currency. Especially like the island. They have a lot of good things that encourage you to do the mini games or get this special currency so that you can get the cool items. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. And you know a lot of those mini games were pretty fun. I think did you have a good time playing them? Yes. Yes, definitely a lot more, you know during the early months of the game, but for sure it was a lot of fun in. Yeah. I just kept you coming back to that and you would check the island every day. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm gonna I expect this this idea that returned to just with us having a player multiplayer online, you know, because it seems like that's going to be the it's going to lead to like four versus four mini games which are going to get crazy and we're going to have a lot of fun playing that sort of thing. At least that's what I expect. You know? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah. So to end this topic I We did receive a question from bricks e19 on our Discord and they asked what new stores. Do you want to be an Animal Crossing New Horizons? And what stores do you want to return what features from pocket Camp? Do you want included in Animal Crossing New Horizon? So Sergio, let's go through your list real quick. Sure. I definitely want a dedicated fortune cookie either like a shop or like a kiosk like we see in Pocket Camp. I think it would be cool to have have random items with a little bit of luck involved, you know every day the more the merrier definitely if there's a lot of cookies that that's cool. I also want to see a lot of clothing shops or I guess ideally a shop that is really big and that has a lot of clothing options. I that's one of my favorite things to do honestly nearly just buy a new pair of shorts and a new t-shirt and just wear them like for the day and then just change them the next day. So the More options the better but at the same time though, I'm thinking if there's like a new store that it's really big in that offers a lot of a single item maybe instead of just being clothing. It could be like a random thing every day. So maybe today is a lot of clothing or maybe the next day is a lot of furniture or a lot of stationary just like a random iding every day, but it's a it's a lot of variety of that item. I think that that would work really well, that would be interesting I think. Where that would also help is like if it were crafting materials because yeah kind of talked about in the past where you know, if you're a person who really doesn't like the weeds popping up around your town save sold them all but then there's something you really want to craft with the weeds and the don't have them like having a place where that's available is pretty important, you know, yes. Otherwise, you're going to have to like just buy the item. Yeah, and who If it's in the shop at that point, yeah. Yeah, so that could be a job for a seti to like just give a he he seems like the person just digging around, you know, so maybe he's found a lot of cool Treasures to sell and so he'll bring back a pack of something special right every time yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's so cool. Yeah really like that in us for an a classic shop that I really like the roost. It's classic for me. I Drink a lot of coffee. I go to a lot of coffee shop. So I respect Brewster a lot and I like the roost. I want a lot of features added. I mean honestly I it would be cool if he sells food, but I know that's probably against his motto that you know, it's all about the coffee with him and we can respect that. So I wonder I mean do you know if we can buy more than once per day? I don't think we can I think we should be able to know it was always only once and yeah. I mean and I feel like it was either like I think you could do two things but one of them was working the coffee shop, you know, yes. Yes. That's right. Yeah, and but I did like that they added that you could get a to-go cup. Yes. That was pretty cute. Yeah. Ideally I want to drink one there and then take another one to go. Yeah, I mean a lot of people do that. Yeah. Yeah, so it would make sense to have that feature. Yeah, and then while you're there maybe you could could I don't know read a newspaper or what have you could rent like a little book that has these like made up Animal Crossing stories are like anecdotes from the villagers in your town that you would just read. Maybe they have a list relations or Like Comics Animal Crossing comics and you know, okay, so a couple things Comics we just got one from the Nintendo live event in Japan. That one was really cute. And then I feel like the characters are always talking about like the In their reading and stuff like that, like it'd be cool to get too long and you know, a lot of the villagers show up in the album covers for cake a slider like yeah, what if there's like an interview with KK Slider and his process of getting this album cover made and everything. Yeah, you can make tons of really cute stories with Animal Crossing. I think that that would fill in like such a kind of a little Gap that Animal Crossing has where it's not story driven in anyway, so Though there is so much dialogue in the game. And you do get to know your characters and everything and learn a lot. But there's just no story attached to it. You know. Yeah, so I really like that. I like the idea of being able to check out some books or magazines and just learn a little bit about the world that you don't usually get to see. Yes. Here's hoping yeah, so my shops, I kind of mentioned all of these at some point throughout the show. But the first one at least the new store that I want is a backpack shop. I think especially if like backpacks we find out they do something, you know. Yeah. Yeah, that would be really great because if they go into your if they expand your inventory, that's the ultimate item right there to carry around with you at all times. Yeah, the other thing the two stories I did mention earlier today. So Leaf store the gardening center. ER and Retail those are for sure ones. I want in my game, especially like having a place where your friends can come visit and buy stuff from you is very cool. Yes. Yeah. I mean, I mean there's always the option to give it away, you know, just drop it let them pick it up, but buying it from you and making some money live in that Tom Nook dream should be cool. And then the last I guess what features from pocket Camp. Do I want in here? I'm sticking to that Shop theme and I want okay Motors to make an appearance, except they work on boat houses now all that's awesome. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh and I think I mentioned that last episode right? Yes. Yeah. So okay Motors. I love those little guys are so cute and bird villagers. We're Jackie and I were fans of birds. So so we want them. Give us a little Quail. Those are cute. Yeah. So anyway Sergio this was really fun. I had a really good time going through like all of these shops and just figuring out like just remembering like all the things that didn't exist in previous games and and all the things that they also introduced, you know, yes. Yeah, so it's fun to look back at that history and enjoy it but let's go ahead and look toward the future. And think about what we're going to be playing while waiting for Animal Crossing New Horizons, and we it's been a little while since we've done this but we're closed now like it's literally as of the day of this recording for months and 10 days away and for anybody listening on the day, this is out for months and eight days away. So you're a lot closer than we are with Sergio, I guess before we get into what we're playing. I how are you feeling with this way? Wait, do you feel like it's been fast so far? Is it just dragging for you the last couple of months have been pretty fast and I think part of it is because we're getting a lot of really good games. Like too many. I would say like there's always that too many games thing and it's definitely been being the case lately. There's a bit of a slowish period coming up but there's so many games in the backlog that it doesn't really matter. Yeah, definitely and I've got to agree with you a hundred percent because like The way to between September 2018 when they told us about the game and June when we finally got it revealed. Oh my yes, those were the longest nine months of my life. And then the past I guess almost about four and a half months gone so much faster than that. It's just like but I feel like there's stuff in between, you know, like there's been stuff filling our calendar. So essentially Lee Joon was Super Mario maker to and so people had fun with that as it was out. July was Fire Emblem right after that and that's you know, for those who are interested in stuff. They could get like deus ex machina and I don't think anybody was interested in that one people like to astral chain a little bit more. Yeah, but then, you know September hit and you have Link's Awakening and then October is Luigi's Mansion 3, which just came out like what two weeks ago now. Yes in two weeks. It's so it was not very long ago. And then Pokemon is this week. We're literally like two days away practically. Yeah. It's insane how close that game is and and then here's where the bad news comes in. This is going to be a lull from here. Like this is why I wanted to talk about this topic because Pokemons a sword and shield or essentially the last big release between The essentially this and Animal Crossing like this is not and there is a port I guess of what's it called Tokyo Mirage sessions. That's right you yes. I mean that's it's not a big deal. You know, like it's a cool thing is probably the port I was most interested in but it really like as far as like Nintendo games go like Nintendo published or Nintendo made this is this is going to be a long four months. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, so there's going to be a lot of time to fill and Sergio. I want to know how you're going to be filling it cool. So definitely the one right now, it's Luigi's Mansion 3 man. What a really good game. And I wanna you know, I'm taking my time. I'm exploring everything. So it's going to take me a little while to beat it. Especially if I want a hundred percent the game, which I really do want to so that's going to take a little while and I'm glad It is because it's a it's a really good game. It's very very classic. Like you said Pokemon is nearly here. I'm getting sword and shield. So for sword, I'm only playing with score bunny. I'm not even going to evolve him. It's just me and him and once again in the world that's gonna be that's gonna be crazy, but it's gonna be fun. Wait. I have a question. Are you catching any other Pokémon or is it just score bunny? I will catch them and you know, there's probably gonna be like Five there on the party just because but no it's just me and him. That's awesome. I love it. Yeah, and then right after that back-to-back, I'm gonna play shield and that's going to be the normal run with a an actual team that I that I built from the choices available. So that's going to be cool. Yeah, and then yeah and then after Pokemon like we said it's kind of there's nothing on the Nintendo side other than Tokyo Mirage, which is cool. But like you said, it's I feel like it's filler but it's a good kind of filler than intended us early in the years. Usually January. They have a nice Port from the Wii U that a lot of people missed. So it's a cool option, but on in my case, I'm switching over to the other platforms for a change. It's strange when this happens. I'm actually going to be playing PlayStation and Xbox a little bit. At least that's what I'm planning in January. There's a game for Dragon Ball Z Kakarot that it's looking really cool and it's basically the entire Dragon Ball Z series in a game which is a lot. It's I feel like I've seen pictures of it and I'm like man this looks awesome. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot of scope to cover in a game. So it's going to be cool February has Has a sequel to one of my favorite games of all time the sequel to orient. The blind Forest is coming out February 4 Xbox. I might actually play it on PC. We'll see how that goes. Yeah, you said you had a lot of good things to say about that game. I haven't picked it up, but maybe one point. Yeah. No definitely in I cannot wait for the sequel It's Gonna be awesome and then in March early March before, you know, the big one hits early March has No Fantasy, 7 remake for the PS4. I'm going to try my best to be dead before Animal Crossing because after Animal Crossing everything stops. Yeah, it's really too bad. They're going to delay it into April though. No, I'm just kidding. I hope it does come out so you can enjoy it before. Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be tough timing but I gotta try my best. Yeah. That's that's a tight timeline for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then you know what I'm planning to do. Do after afterward. So we're going to be playing New Horizons for a lot of years and that's awesome and everything but as you know in a lot of people know in myself, especially I haven't played a lot of the big hits which games I haven't played Odyssey. I haven't beat breath of the wild. I stopped playing Fire Emblem. So what I'm planning to do is to run a poll in just share it with my friends and I'm taking and on njp and everyone like on Twitter and just ask people what game they Should play as I'm playing New Horizon, so it's going to be like the side game and whoever gets the most votes. Basically. I'm going to play them in the order that people vote on so that should be a cool interactive little thing for them to do to complete them. Yeah, that'll be fun. I mean, there's so many games there that you should just play Sergio you get through breath of the wild. It's worth it. It's a it's a fun game, but Also, it's like you could take as long as you want with it because there's so much to explore in that one and then Odyssey, it's it can be a long game if you want to go and get everything but it can also be a short game and I think it's so worth seeing like that final boss fight. It's a oh, it's it's it's fun. It's the something really special and one that one fight that I really appreciate. Oh cool. Yeah, so that gives you something. Forward to yeah. Yeah also like the final segment of breath of the wild man. I say I did it like maybe a hundred and fifty five hours in and I was just like man this game just keeps given so it's very generous game as far as like how much you can do in it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's really fun. I really like your list. I've got a lot of the same things. Jean mine, for example the shared one. Of course. I've got Luigi's Mansion 3 and Pokemon on mine. We just mention three. I'm having a lot of fun with and I'm really I feel like at least from what I'm getting getting on Twitter. A lot of people are kind of trying this series out for the first time and I'm really glad they're getting to it because it's such a special game to me where the first one I played was dark moon and I haven't actually beaten the first Luigi's Mansion, but I'm on it, you know. Yes, there were moments in Dark Moon where I was just So Satisfied by the gameplay where I was just like man, I used literally every tool at my disposal to make this happen. And so yeah, I think Luigi's Mansion three does a good job of that so far too. So yes. Yeah and Pokemon Shield, I can't skip any new generation of Pokemon. I'm always excited for New Gen nice. Yeah, but yeah, I'm still chugging away at Fire Emblem. I haven't gotten too much time to play games the past couple of weeks. So Fire Emblem. I'm still at like the same point but I'm doing I guess I'm playing ring fit Adventure very regularly. I'm going to play after we're done recording here just to get my exercise in you know, and I don't know how long the story mode is, but I'm already like a good five. Well, it says I've been playing for 10 hours, but As far as what that accounts for as exercise, it says about five hours in something. So yeah, I'm getting some good exercise while also beating this RPG. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and then I have one more game that I just added to this list over the weekend and that's new super Lucky's tale because I know I've always really loved like 3D Platformers, you know and kind of Platformers in general and so I feel like this is going to scratch that itch. Because I'm like, when is Mario Odyssey are monitored, I guess Mario Odyssey to coming out or something. So new super Lucky's tale. I'm going to make a special video on it pretty soon. And so anybody who wants to check that out. There will be something that I'll be giving away that has to do with this game. So when that video pops up be sure to check it out because I've got something cool for that. That's cool. I'm interested. I've been really interested in this game. You know, I feel like Belongs to this which he wasn't the Xbox and PC but this is kind of one of those games that is just it has a Nintendo charm even though it's not really related but it's just it feels at home. And it feels like this version of the game is what the developers intended to make and it looks like a really good game. Yeah this feels and looks like a Nintendo game through and through so I'm really glad it's moved over now. I'm just waiting for like a Viva Pinata there to come out on switch, but there are a lot of like really cool kind of games on the Xbox that feel more like Nintendo games that I feel should come over. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and so like these are just like five games that I listed but I have a whole long wish list of things like I would love to get daughter mon story of seasons and have like a little bit of a life same thing. But I'm like, oh man, I've never got very far on Porsche my time at Porsche and so I want to get back at that one too, because it was I was very When I was playing at first, so yeah, I want to get back at that game. But there's only four months left and I know for a fact I don't have time based on this list already and based on how much gaming time I get. I'm never going to finish. Yeah. Yeah. So anyways, I'm excited Sergio and we actually we should move on to this haken Islander Corner because we're going to be asking our patrons to what they're going to to be playing. So for those of you who don't know Higgins island or Corners are segments of the show where we ask our patrons on patreon a question and read their answers. This week's question was what are you looking forward to playing between now and New Horizons and Sergio? I took a lot of answers here. So we're gonna have to go. Let's just go through them. Do you want to go first? Yeah sounds good. So our first answer is by Kali and they say the new Pokemon games. I tried so hard to avoid any leaks. So I'm really high for Pokemon sword and shield still. Yes, there's been so many leaks and there's been talk that they're fake but they're not but they are I don't know but it says it's just scary to look so, I mean the game is almost here. We made it pretty far for those that haven't seen anything. I've seen a couple of things so I cannot count myself there. Yeah. I mean I told myself like I wasn't going to avoid them if they pop up I'm gonna look at them, but I'm not gonna lie. Like actively seek them either. Yeah. Yeah. So I've done pretty well. I think I saw a little bit but for the most part, I don't know too much else. So I'm still it and you know, some of them are always like new Pokemon reveals and everything and for me, that's honestly not the biggest part. I just like yeah playing the game and exploring everything. So I'm more excited to see that game. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So Benedict said Course playing Pokemon Sword goes without saying but I'm still really enjoying Fire Emblem three houses considering how regularly and before time. They're releasing DLC. Other than that. I need to fully complete breath of the wild as well as put lots of time into stardew Valley. I know I'm late on that train. Oh man. I just want to go back to stardew Valley and I want to do like a multiplayer farm with people that would be really fun. But these are really cool games to for sure. Sure. Yeah indefinitely heavy time sinkers is those are good games. They take a while but they're rewarding. Yeah, that's true. All of those games are very long. Yeah, so lampshade says I hope to pick up Fire Emblem three houses finish happy home designer and play a lot more ring fit Adventure nice in you know, it's cool to have a little animal crossing there before more Animal Crossing. Yeah, and really getting a taste of happy home designer is cool because it As introduced a lot of really cool gameplay mechanics. Yeah. Yeah, so grisly Nina said I was hoping Luigi's Mansion three would keep be keeping me company, but I finished it fairly quick little fingers animal cross that Pokemon Shield will last a little longer. So, yep. She's done with the Luigi's Mansion three moving on to the next game Pokemon Shield. I wish I played it that fast honestly, sometimes just based on like how many games I have to play Still and how they are still coming out. I'm doomed nice. Yeah, grisly. I think Pokemon it's gonna take a while. So you should be good with that. So Elijah Baron says I'm playing Link's Awakening which is so much fun. I also have ninokuni to on my PlayStation. So once this semester is finished. I have a lot to enjoy all that's called me. No Kuni takes a while, but it's very rewarding and Link's Awakening. It's cool. I don't know if you have if this is your first time playing this game, but there's Least there's more than a dungeon. So there's a lot here. Yeah, and it's really confusing. So, you know, it's it's easy to get lost in that one. Yeah, but it's just a like anybody who hasn't checked out and you know Cooney go watch a trailer or something. It's essentially like Studio Ghibli made a video game. It's amazing it. It's so cool. And the first one just came out on switch. So if you like it and need something to play in the meantime, I like that choice and Nice, so Jillian tufo said Pokemon sword and shield along with finishing Luigi's Mansion 3 & Fire Emblem three houses. So yeah good classic set of games. That just came out. Yeah nice. So Lou JP says I'm currently playing The Witcher 3 really different from what I usually play but the open world and hundreds of quest will keep me busy for a while. That's what I need to not be thinking about Animal Crossing all the time. I'll pick up Pokemon Shield. I can't wait to play it. It feels fresh. Nu, I mean honestly The Witcher 3 alone is probably more than you need so if you're also going to play Pokemon man you are set that's awesome. Yeah I call this Witcher 3, it's true. Yeah. So Andrew artaud said between now and New Horizons, I'll be playing some Xbox game pass and smash DLC. Hopefully I get some new games for Christmas like sword and shield and yeah, that's pretty cool. I mean game pass that has so many cool things. Things on it now that I'm just like man, maybe I should start using it but at the same time I start thinking about it. I'm like wait, I barely have that I intend no guy and I barely have time to play those better turn back now nice. So Grace or a penguin named Abraham says three words mean Echoes Night Market. Oh, when is that out? Like that's a good it's a good. Yeah. I wish I wish this game had some sort of Update the last update they put out for this game was I don't know somewhere between like April and June and it was essentially saying that they've taken like a mental health break their yeah, they're delaying it for a while. So originally it was planned for 2019. They haven't said anything since this update that they did back in like spring. So who knows I want to know so badly because this game looks incredible. Yes. Yes, it does. Hmm. Yeah, so jam also said Monaco's Night Market is the only other game. I'm looking forward to 2019 release date but no news yet. So I'm hoping it comes out before New Horizons and I've got to be honest. It doesn't look like it's going to yeah, which is such a bummer because I was banking on this game to be one that like, you know keeps me busy for a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. I think we can still look forward to it will see how how the timing works out in the end. Yeah, so contralto Val says gonna play a lot of ring food Adventure now so I can lose all my progress once New Horizons cancer. I'm almost finished playing all possible routes in with female pilot in Fire Emblem three houses. So I'll need to do it all again as male by lit. Nice in a suit play Pocket Camp Daily even once New Horizons inside out. I have more than enough space in my Animal Crossing diet for both experiences, and I'm really Lee not it and it's really not feasible to bring my switch with me everywhere I go that's cool. I don't I don't see a lot of people doing that so controlled I'll power to you. That's awesome. Yeah, that is a lot of Fire Emblem. I haven't even finished all man. Yeah, so I'm proud of you. Yeah, so when he World said for some reason I've been playing Hive swap act 1 over again with my boyfriend and I'm excited for act two to come out not really a Nintendo game or a game that crosses over with Animal Crossing fans, but it's fun. For me, I really I don't know what that game is. No me neither but it sounds interesting. Yeah, I like the name. Yeah. So rain says Monster Hunter world with so much time before they release that means I'll have time to sink into an MMO and get cozy. Ah, nice. Yeah. That's a it's a nice departure for the traditional monster home Monster Hunter series, and I know it did well in it. It was well received so Nice, enjoy it. Yeah Cthulhu said I just got my own switch today and I got ring fit adventure to go with it. I am excited for Pokemon sword and shield and I know I want to play Luigi's Mansion three there. There are plenty of choices for me until March 20th. Yeah, especially if you just gotta switch to there's just like such a huge backlog of games that it's going to be worth. I mean, you're gonna be trying to play too many between noun. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. So Sasha, 505 says ninokuni Luigi's Mansion three Pokémon Shield the Ramona story of Seasons Layton's mystery Journey Minecraft The Sims 4 Professor Layton in the Astra and Legacy in some other older Pokemon games. I'm not sure how I'll manage every time I finish a game I either find a new one to play in by or I end up playing a game that doesn't end like Animal Crossing in The Sims 4. I mean, I finally finished Link's Awakening and that he came out a while ago. Need to step up my game. Well, honestly, if you're playing all these are at least planning, I think you're doing great. That's awesome. Yeah, this list looks like mine and yeah, at least you're finishing something because I have not so like Mount said, I'm definitely picking up Pokemon this weekend. Hopefully I can be the very best like no one ever was before New Horizons comes out. Yeah. I mean nothing matters once that's out so you got the right idea there. Nice. Yeah, so lead agent says I'm getting close to beating Link's Awakening which I've Loved after that. I think it's time to start another playthrough of stardew Valley. Nice. Yeah, I want and you know I run into that to where I just want to revisit a game so but I'll said I really really need to finish my first playthrough A Fire Emblem three houses. I just started Luigi's Mansion and hope to get through that to also Pokemon Shield somewhere down the line to so Yeah, those are all gonna keep you busy. For sure. Yeah. Yeah nice and last dragon says Fire Emblem Pokémon Luigi's Mansion rocket league in a shout-out to Crystal Chronicles in January. Yeah. I feel like that's going to be a big one for multiplayer, you know before Animal Crossing comes out that that's going to be nice man. I totally I'm getting that Crystal Chronicles. It's so good. So, yep, you get you'll find me adding another game to my flip it sounds gonna be fun. So yeah, I mean everybody's playing such awesome games. It's really cool to like look at your lists and see what you're into and me. I'm just sitting here wishing and that I could just like play for hours upon hours, but I gotta go and work a day job and you know make money to live. So yeah Sergio is your gaming time looking okay house. Looking at it's been it's been lacking a little bit. But you know, I feel like it's it's more motivating to to make it work during the winter time. I feel like if I try harder I can play more games during the holidays. So I'm looking forward to that. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm I'm banking for. So I'm just waiting for like Thanksgiving weekend. I want to go all out nice and you know like Luigi's Mansion three. I'm Luigi's Mansion games tend to be pretty short. And so I'm really hoping I can get through that one and make some decent progress in some other games. Nice. Yeah. Yeah.

Today, Sergio and I go over the different shops that have appeared in Animal Crossing throughout the years. Each game had a different assortment of shops for us to peruse and enjoy. Each game has also added more shops and increased the variety of items we could purchase. We also discuss shops we'd like to see in the next game. From there, we talk about what games we'll be playing during this last stretch of waiting for Animal Crossing New Horizons. Our patrons also let us in on what games they'll be enjoying between now and then.
