Tweet #7: House Designs

12 years ago 2 Comments

This time we seem to have a screenshot of a basic barebones house on the left and an upgraded customized house on the right. The upgraded house appears to be heavily customized with house pieces from Tom Nook. This is almost certainly taken inside the Model Homes area which makes use of StreetPass.

Google Translation:

In the hope that you have seen in Kent, who delivered the photos in the exhibition hall housing! “Happy Home Exhibition” ♪ I’m able to, thank you also model house is not just visit the hall, the furniture that you like to order direct!

The end of this translation implies that you can order the furniture you view in the Model Homes.

Tweet #6: Kent

12 years ago 3 Comments

This time we’re getting a picture of Kent who is Lyle’s assistant. Apparently he takes you up to the Model Homes area. I might have it slightly wrong though so let me know if you happen to have any more information.

Translation:

Today is a weekend, do you have anything planned? I have dinner with Kent’s twin brother working in the exhibition hall housing. Model houses are gathered by passing in communication you can visit so I look forward to passing with someone too.

Extra special thanks to Prof Gallows for the proper translation.

First look at the Town Map and Bottom Screen

12 years ago 7 Comments

Famitsu has two new screenshots up on their website that give us our first look at the bottom screen! Up until now, every screenshot released had been only of the top screen. With these new screenshots we’re able to see the Map for the Town and the Island.

It looks like you’ll be able to access the chat menu at any time no matter which screen you’re on by pressing the green bubble at the bottom. Certainly will be handy when playing online. I also noticed that your Town Tree is an icon on the map, kind of like the Wishing Well from the Gamecube game.

Also, what is that big orange button on the right? Just a thought but maybe this is only half of the map and pressing that goes to the other half of the map.

Also in this Famitsu edition, it’s been said that Wendell will be back offering patterns. This time however you’ll earn them through the Dream World. Exactly how is unknown at this time.

In this screenshot we seem to be getting a look at the Able Sister’s shop. Or to be more precise, the clothing section. Because of the new taller characters, we will be able to purchase shirts and pants as separate clothing items.

Google Translation:
