Report on 3 days of "Atsumare: Animal Crossing" play. Let's enjoy the great nature with animals.

A play report on "Atsumare Animal Crossing" for Nintendo Switch, released by Nintendo on Friday, March 20, 2020. This title is based on the theme of living on a deserted island, allowing players to enjoy creating their own unique island. The game is full of challenging elements, such as the DIY (do-it-yourself crafting) system that enriches your life, not to mention meeting animals. Let's depart for a deserted island!

Check-in procedures at the boarding counter!

The game begins with the player going to the airport counter.

A staff member from Tanuki Kaihatsu guided me to the counter, and I went through the procedures thinking that it would be difficult to remember their names since they both look alike.

I was asked for my name and birthday, so I decided on each and responded. My name is Newsome and my age is a secret!　Then they say, "We will take your picture. So, we decided to create a character that would be our "alter ego" living on a deserted island.

The face is simply a combination of prepared parts. You can make it look like you, or go for a joke, you are free to do whatever you like. I tried to make mine look as much like myself as possible.

After that, you choose what kind of island you want to go to; from the four islands, you just choose where you want to go. (I saw a lot of talk on social media about heart ponds. .......)

Then you set the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, etc. It helps because it tells you what corresponds to the place (country/region) where you are playing. Even if you don't remember the world map, no problem. And so, the time has finally come for your flight to a deserted island.

During the flight, a presentation video by "Tanuki Development" was playing. Finally, life on a deserted island begins!

Arrival at the uninhabited island!

After the flight, we arrived safely at the deserted island. I wanted to shout, "I'm free from here! But Tanuki-chika told us, "Now we are going to start the orientation for living on a deserted island.

We first decided on a place for our tents, and I wonder if this was the right place .......

I have such a smile on my face, so it can't be wrong!　Okay, I'm going to do my best to live on a deserted island from now on!

Campfire!

Speaking of tents, camping. And speaking of camping, yes, a campfire. In order to get to know everyone on the deserted island, we had a lot of fun while talking to each other.

What was especially fun was when we decided on the name of the island. Everyone seemed to be coming up with names of their own, but here it was Nexpe.

Fishing for salmon by making a DIY "fishing rod!

There is nothing on a deserted island. There is nothing to do, so you have to make your own. But you don't know how to make one, do you? But don't worry. Tanukichi will hold a DIY workshop. If you participate, you will be able to make something useful for island life.

You can find the materials you need for DIY on the island. You will surely find them somewhere. Here, we made a "Shabby fishing rod" from "Kinoeda.

Now you can fish for sakana, so I went fishing for sakana. Nice fishing!　Besides fishing, I was able to catch insects and enjoyed feeling like a boy again.

New residents have arrived and I've been very busy with loan repayments!

As many fans of the "Animal Crossing" series will know, Mr. Hooter, who collects living creatures, has come to a deserted island. The reason is to run a museum.

We immediately went to see Mr. Huta and found out that he wanted to research the ecosystem of a deserted island. He asked us to collect living creatures and "fossils" for him. He told me that if I collected a few, he could build a museum, so I had no choice but to do my best. Here, I asked for an appraisal of the "fossil".

The appraisal result was "Dinonyx's tail," and Mr. Huta was very excited. He wants me to donate it to the museum, but I can refuse. I wanted to see the museum thrive, so I donated it.

While walking around the island, I saw a person fainting on the beach ....... He was conscious, so I patiently talked to him and was able to save him. Thank goodness!

By the way, the construction of my home that I had asked Tanuki-chi to build for me was completed. I set up the furniture freely! Construction of your own home is not free. You have to take out a loan. That's amazingly realistic, isn't it?

Here is the loan repayment screen. It's too stiff. ...... It's hard to repay the loan, but I'm going to try my best to make money by repeatedly fishing for crabs and so on.

But I'm kind of tired today, so good night. *I took this photo using the camera function of Tanuki Development's smartphone.

Tanuki Shoten" and the encounter with Obake.

There are many things that can be done on a deserted island, but the "Tanuki Shop" construction project we were working on was successfully completed and opened. The commemorative ceremony made me smile.

Tanuki Chika asked us to install a bridge, which will be installed in this way. This one will be completed at a later date. It was night when I was working on various other tasks.

When I was working at night to procure materials, I saw an obake!　It is a little strange that the obake is more freaked out than I am. He asks me to make a wish, and if I accomplish it, a good thing will happen. That's the end of today's work. Good night.

The museum is now complete! (Extra)

The museum was completed on the fourth day of our desert island life. There are really too many things we can do ......, but it's fun!　What kind of life do you want to lead on a deserted island? Let's enjoy a relaxing and enjoyable deserted island life. (New Samurai)
