I'm otw too. I already sold on the exchange but I'll water your flowers.

Mind if I buy that cello in the shop?

Great island! I replaced one of the cans that broke while watering and my daughter had me buy like 5 sandals for her in the shop

Hot damn new update coming on July 3rd.

Link to Nooks tweet this morning

Video in link, includes swimming/diving etc

Second summer update coming in August as well.

The diving looks awesome. Just in time for the July 4th weekend.

Redd's on my island if anyone's interested.

So, at least for me, the island visiting mechanic has been mostly to help out friends and people on the board to get stuff they might not be able to get on their own. For example, you'll never get all of the different fruit trees because you're limited to what's on your island. Redd is an island visitor that rarely shows up on your island, and he's the only way to get "real" art for your museum, so visiting someone else's island when he's there helps you get more art.

The most common use for traveling, at this point, is for selling turnips. Once a week, a visitor will come to your island selling turnips. The sales price of turnips varies day to day, and sometimes you'll never get a good sales price so you can get stuck at a loss. We'll open up our island if we get a great sales price to help others make more money.

It's also pretty neat because this gives friends and family the opportunity to go to your island and see what you've done.

I'd say it's worth it for a kid to go check out other islands for sure. My niece and nephew visit their friend's islands all the time to exchange stuff and get new ideas for stuff they want to do on their island.

Okay.

Do you have to purchase the 20 dollar membership to be able to visit games. I was content to keep her offline to be honest. Again, i'm not sure of all the mechanics of the switch's online world.

If she’s playing alone and you or family aren’t playing with her or helping her , then don’t. Just let her be alone on her island . She won’t be able to maximize her capabilities but she likely won’t know any better. Unless she’s talking to her friends.


The game is perfectly setup to play alone and isolated. She just won’t be able to access all the fruit trees for example (pears, apples, cherries, oranges, peaches). It won’t change her experience or appreciation of the game. It’s more so for completion purposes (I know that probably sounds silly for someone that doesn’t know the game).

If you do get her online, post a dodo for us one night and I'll bring a bunch of stuff over for her
