I bought the game with my hard earned money, and I decided to let my wife play first. She has never played before, and I’ve played since wild world. I then discovered that I HAD, key word, HAD to share an island with her. We have COMPLETELY different play styles, and Nintendo just wants to plop us both on one island? Whatever. Fine. But here’s the real catch. She becomes the “Resident Representative” and she does EVERYTHING. Is this some kind of joke? I bought the game! It’s MINE. However, Nintendo deems that it’s important that she logged in first. Worst of it all, I can’t do ANYTHING. She progresses whilst I do absolutely nothing. Can I donate to Tom Nook to start the museum tent? No. Can I upgrade to Nooks Cranny? No. Can I gather the items for the three villagers that have to move in? No. Can I do ANYTHING related to infrastructure? No. But want to know Nintendo’s compromise? Spend $360 on another switch and game. Yeah, I Call BULLSH*T on that. You can’t go and tell me that the games great, and I shouldn’t give it a low rating . Well guess what. What am I SUPPOSED to write a review on? How great it is fishing and catching bugs all day, and that’s all I can do? Sorry that I can’t share the experience of being the resident representative. Maybe If I could, I would enjoy the game and write a positive review. But I can’t because I CAN’T DO ANYTHING! And you know why? Because I didn’t play first. Doesn’t matter that it’s my $300 switch. Doesn’t matter that I spent $60 on the game. No. But because I didn’t click “play” first, and Nintendo somehow deemed that important. This is a cheap trick to get you to spend $360 on another switch and game. Congratulations Nintendo. You ruined me as a customer. I LOVED Super Mario Odyssey, Luigi’s mansion, Zelda, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bro’s, Super Mario Maker, yet somehow, you wanted money SO bad, and I hope you realize how many customers you lost.
