A few people on twitter has been saying it's nice to know how many tiles you will be tilling beforehand but I feel the same way as you. The wait animation bugs me. It looks clunky. Especially the watering can's animation.
Also, maybe I'm just being dumb but why does the number display 5 but it tills 6 squares?

Level Five tool. The fifth-tier Hoe, Mithril, tills six squares. The number is not how many squares you're affecting, but the level of the tool.
A new clip. Nothing new here but a chicken outfit.
Also 3 seconds into the video it shows they added a pathway from the Poultry Farm to the Yodel Farm.
In the original we'd have to walk around, which never really bothered me but it's interesting to see the little changes they added to the town to make things more convenient to travel.
Also, it seems if you order from Amazon, you get the chicken outfit. I heard you get other outfits depending on where you order the game from. It makes me wonder if Xseed is just gonna include all the outfits as DLC for the US release.
I actually really like the way the farm looks in 3D. The light by the coop area is a cute touch. The angle on the farm buildings still looks kind of weird, but I can live with it.
It seems that people are understandably upset about the apparent lack of the child systems from AWL and AP, being that there isn’t as much to do with the child like the aforementioned previous entries. Even the inclusion of the seemingly set child portraits as opposed to them having the hair colour of your spouse like in SoS and Trio is kind of sad. However, I hope we still get to name our child like in previous SoS games, which I would really appreciate. I have been playing Fire Emblem Fates recently and was a bit disappointed that we can’t name our children anything we want. It really makes me appreciate the freedom given in SoS games to give the kid a name that no one would probably use in real life.

I really am disappointed to see not many people liked the "Display the Tool's Charge Level" thing, I got so excited to see that, although I think a bar filling up above the head that changes to a new color for each level (like Secret of Mana) may have been a cuter/more BokuMono "feeling" way of doing it than just showing a number. However, having it be a number does increase accessibility for colorblind players.
Horse race clip was adorable. I'm looking forward to having a variety of activity based Festivals available again.
I've been wondering if I should import this game, but I think I have too much on my plate right now. Just in the last two weeks of this month there's Ni no Kuni, Link's Awakening, Dragon Quest XI, and Dragon Quest I, II, and III, all super long and enjoyable games coming out for the Switch. Then next month, the Doraemon Story of Seasons crossover is coming out pretty early on... then Little Town Hero and so on. Add in just Curry Cooking Simulator... uh, Pokémon Swoosh... and Fall & Winter quarters for 2019 are ridiculous. I'd be surprised if I find myself with no games to play until the English version comes out.
It was more expensive than I anticipated, which makes me wonder if the English version will be $59.99 (The Japanese version was around 6,200 yen, but I preordered it for 10% off, bringing the total down to around 5,700 yen.)
Does the Japanese Cart actually work on the English Switch? I don't know Japanese, but I pretty much know all the text in Mineral Town from playing it so much! Hahaha

I wanna say you’d need a Japanese switch? After all we’d need a Japanese 3DS to play 3D Japanese games.
I just made a second account that was set up as a japanese account. With it I can download any game from the Japanese or English eshops.
It doesn't tend to like American cards though but there's work arounds.

The Switch is completely region free. You can play Japanese games on any switch purchased anywhere Doesn't matter if they are digital or physical.
They also appear slower to power up in comparison to the original GBA game.
