There's a lot of strange design choices in ACNH. It feels like there was a miscommunication and they accidentally made all the construction actions and dialog boxes take 10x longer than they were meant to. Besides that, they also added online features, but using them requires going through a deep dialog tree where a cartoon animal basically says that going online guarantees that hackers will set your console on fire and kidnap your children.

  >but using them requires going through a deep dialog tree where a cartoon animal basically says that going online guarantees that hackers will set your console on fire and kidnap your children. This is classic Nintendo, which has been both absolutely paranoid and deeply incompetent about online services for nearly 30 years now. The sheer absurdity of Friend Codes speaks for itself.

    Nintendo is actually thinking about the future by teaching children how to remember an IPv6 address, how considerate of them!

  Japanese devs really see to struggle with this. They love confirmation dialogs for things that don’t need them. When I navigate 3 menus deep to load a save, or walk through a door to enter an area, I don’t need a confirmation.

    Japanese websites are the same way. Ordering from some of them takes 10 steps when it could be 1 because they're so afraid you might not have meant to do something.

  To be fair in the Animal Crossing game on the original DS that basically happened (People could drop glitched items spawned with an Action Replay that would effectively brick your game).
