Four different versions of the villager are included as playable pieces. You’ll need to earn the most Nook Miles by purchasing decorations and using Nook Miles cards to trade resources and Bells. Bugs, fish, and fruit appear on the game board.

The story of Glover 2’s cancellation
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
Glover 2 was originally supposed to happen. Interactive Studios, the developer of the first game, was originally signed on to create the sequel. But as you may know, Glover 2 ended up seeing cancellation.
Believe it or not, Glover 2’s cancellation came about due to the first title. Publisher Hasbro ended up ordering 300,000 units since Nintendo had a special on N64 cartridges at the time. Rather than going for 150,000 units – a standard amount which was also suggested by Interactive Studios – Hasbro went with 300,000 units at a slightly reduced cost.
