New Leaf: Bon-boozled

Tonight, Filbert told me that he was moving away on the 9th of this month. I decided to let him go. I like more of the squirrel villagers but Filbert is one of the "okay" ones.

But I don't even like popcorn...

Rolf started talking about bonsai trees and interior design out of nowhere. All this talk about aesthetics has made me fool bon-boozled.

Flurry is still not out of the holiday spirit yet. I guess it was my fault for putting them Christmas jumpers on display back in 2016.

Thank you for reading and have a good weekend!

What could we expect from Nintendo in 2018?

Its a new year which means that Nintendo have different things up their sleeves, whether its games we already know about or surprises. Today I'm going to look through what Nintendo have planned and what they could be planning.

Nintendo 3DS
Personally I think the 3DS is on its last full year since the 3DS family has been going since 2011 (In March it would be 7 years old, I feel so old right now). Nintendo could either end the 3DS era with a bang or just by making less and less content for it (which they did do last year). I can see them adding one more "major" game or a few remakes.

Nintendo Switch
I think the Switch will be Nintendo's focus, especially since we are approaching its one year life span. We already have games coming out for it like Metriod Prime 4, a Yoshi game, a Kirby game and they even mentioned a new core Pokemon game that could come out as early as this year. The Switch already has or will have some of their biggest IPs like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Metroid and more only after one year. They are missing a few that will fill the void for this and next year. Maybe we will get some more announcements like Animal Crossing.

Mobile
Nintendo's last two apps that they mentioned were for Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing. Since we now have both of them what do you think we will get next? They already did something with them two franchises plus Mario and Miitomo. We'll have to wait and see.

My Nintendo
For the last year I thought that this would suck. But now it still does except in Japan when they finally started releasing physical rewards. Okay its only phone cases at the moment but they are one step closer to adding the things they had on Club Nintendo. This also means that other countries will hopefully start seeing rewards like this (I can only spend so many coins on in game currency)

So there you have it. I think this could be a good year for Nintendo if they do it correctly. Thank you for reading and have a good day!

New Leaf: Happy 2018!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everybody had an awesome New Year's Eve and have an amazing 2018. I'm back and ready to continue blogging.

I played on Saturday and like I expected, I kept the sack. Score!

Tammy finally moved into town. She's alright but she's where I wanted a path so she's got to go.

At least her house is decorated nicely!

I didn't play last night but I played on New Year's Day.

2018 marks the year of the dog, so Isabelle was quite pleased.

One thing I know about dogs is that they hate fireworks. Isabelle seems to be an exception.

There was also the cutout board. I posed with some headless party goers!

My villagers were wishing me the best for 2018 (I keep typing 2017 by accident).

I actually had a dream that I did this. Scary stuff!

I ended the day by checking out the bobblehead dog. I was secretly hoping that it would be Isabelle's head, but at least it matches the other dogs scattered around my room.

Thank you for reading and again, Happy New Year!

Merry Squishmas!!!

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! I hope that everyone enjoyed the last 12 days and are enjoying the festivities of today. What did everyone get/do? If you got any awesome video games and consoles (and if you didn't that's fine too) then... turn off your consoles, put your systems on charge and spend some time with your loved ones.

This is why I'm posting today and a lot earlier than usual. I've realized that after nearly 20 Christmases, traditions are always the same but who you follow them with is always changing. People will come and go for a variety of different reasons. Sometimes people may not be able to come for Christmas. Spend all the time that you can with them (unless they are really cruel people or something).

One Christmas in particular that I remember fondly is Christmas Day of 2015. I remember getting quite a few games that year. All I remember from that year is me either sitting in my room or in the living room playing those games non stop, talking to nobody. I knew it was bad but after recently looking at my 3DS Activity Log, I felt awful... I somehow put 8 hours into my 3DS and four hours on the Wii U.

I must have really learnt my lesson because I only played for half an hour last year (for blogging purposes on New Leaf).

Christmas is why I choosing to take a week off blogging. Spend the day with your loved ones, then "rot your brain" on Boxing Day. Your games can wait but the people and memories can't. Thank you for reading and I'll see you all next year!

Squishmas 12: Toy Day

Today is Toy Day and the last day of Squishmas! Weird how time flies when your blogging about random stuff.

Slightly off topic but for some reason, Tammy's house plot still isn't a house yet. It showed up on the 22nd and hasn't changed. Weird...

I've been keeping track of all the clues that I managed to get over the last ten days. Stitches was the only villager I didn't get a clue from, plus there are two villagers that only mentioned the colour green (at least Iggly mentioned wallpaper).

When I went to buy the Santa outfit (I lost my one from last year, oops) I got Labelle's manniquin. Best Christmas present ever!

After a quick search I found Jingle!

Like every year, our goal is to play Santa and give all our villagers the correct gift

Iggly was the first person I found. His clues were wallpaper and green, so of course I gave him...

Rolf was next and was lucky enough to get a full jar of candy. Sweet!

Lucha wanted something red. I somehow started off with THREE UMBRELLAS! Luckily I got rid of one of them here and he liked it!

Rosie wanted something brown. At this point i had to google some of the remaining items. The bingo wheel looked to be the brownest object. I gave it to her and she wasn't so happy...

Filbert asked for an umbrella... so it was a 50/50 shot. I got it right though!

All that was left were two green objects and a swell tee. I figured that the swell tee belonged to Stitches but I was wrong.

I somehow got both green items correct so I got 6 out of 8 correct!

I guess I got Stitches and Rosie's items mixed up. I decided that this year I would keep the sack if I didn't get them all right. So free sack!

Thank you for reading, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Squishmas 11: Make a Squishmas themed song parody!

Since today is the second last day to Squishmas, I'm deciding to have a little fun and get you guys involved.

Everyone knows the song "The 12 Days of Christmas" (the one that takes ages to sing and has a bunch of birds at the beginning). I've heard a lot of weird parodies of it over the years and want to see if anyone can write a parody of it, based on my 12 Squishmas posts. To give you a little more time, tomorrow's Squishmas post will be based on Toy Day.

All you have to do is either comment on this post with the lyrics or tweet it to @SquishyPixelz using the hashtag #Squishmas (thank goodness for 280 characters now). The winner will have their song mentioned on the blog and Facebook page. Its mainly just for fun! The contest will end on the 1st January 2018 when I will announce the winner.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to your parodies!

Squishy: Baaaye!

On Tuesday I randomly got the news that Baabara was moving out of town. She wasn't here for long and I'm glad to get rid of her, but I'll miss her a little bit. She was my first ugly villager in ages and I didn't get much time to annoy her.

When I left her house, I heard someon in a pitfall. It was Iggly!

I've been getting more Toy Day hints lately. I might actually have a chance!

Rolf was getting a little worked up about Toy Day though... He does have a point!

I saw my first igloo this winter. It looks really weird near the green grass and pink flowers.

Inside was Astrid and her baby. I did say that I will miss having an ugly villager in town, but not enough to invite one in.

I took a visit to Tinsel for Squishmas. You can read about my Tinsel adventure here!

Yesterday was the winter soloists, the shrtest day of the year. If you want to briefly read about it. Feel free to look at my Squishmas post here!

I'm so glad that my villagers piped up last minute about these hints!

Me too Rolf, Me too...

I'm having really bad luck when it comes to villager placement. I know its my fault since I've been lazy with my paths but really?

When I spoke to Rolf today, he somehow made a candle sound spectacular.

Thank you for reading and have a good pre Christmas weekend!

Squishmas 10: Yesterday's shortest day

Yes I know this event happened yesterday, but due to some computer trouble I had to either do something else yesterday last minute or miss a day of Squishmas (and I wasn't going to do that). So I'm talking about what took place then today (Note; I did not time travel). With that out of the way, lets get started!

Yesterday was the shortest day of the year. In Animal Crossing, the day was cut altogether!

Isabelle was handing out blue glow wands to keep us safe in the dark. I like how the blue one is event exclusive while the others can be bought.

There is also a face cutout board with children (and a snowman) playing, but I never looked at it. Either way thank you for reading and have a good weekend!

Squishmas 9: My Christmas themed Pocket Camp

Over the last few days, I’ve been working on my campsite in Animal Crossing Pocket Camp to make it both Christmassy and cute. So here is what I did with it so far for the holidays.

For my Campsite themed, I decided to go with a Christmas cafe with a variety of different foods to offer. I even added the picnic blanket!





It turned nighttime while I was taking photos but they look cooler now!



I even have live entertainment in front of the tree!



Thank you for reading and have a good day!
