Animal Crossing Direct Discussion Thread

[charmingpeach]

This should be taken with a grain of salt, but the Nintendo leaker who has been right about almost everything else said they think it's coming later (if it doesn't turn out to be a surprise).

I think you are wrong, what she said was that Kapp'n was probably coming later but she was wrong. Unless you are not talking about Samus? She's the leaker that went viral before the Direct. There was however source for a store upgrade in the datamine long ago, so I wonder if that was scrapped.

can someone explain to me how the dlc works if i get the family subscription of the expansion pack? do i get the dlc permanently, or will i lose access if i cancel the subscription next year?

I assume you will lose access if you cancel your subscription. I thought I saw somewhere that people saw text somewhere too that said if you have multiple accounts on your Switch and only get the expanded NSO for 1 account, then only that account will be able to use the DLC.

Honestly, it sounds like it will be best to me to just pay the $25 and buy it as standalone DLC. Then all accounts on the Switch can access it (again, confirmed somewhere through text) and you also don't lose access at all if your expanded NSO subscription lapses.

What is up with the NSO sub price though? Like that is nuts. If it's because the AC dlc is being part of it, that's not really fair for those who don't own or want the game.

That's my concern to. Like that would be really scummy if we had to pay $25 per year for the extra content.

I'm glad that most of the content we discussed has come back or been added on to. I hope that corn can be planted to. It's a lot of good stuff coming back/new now. I would had preferred last year when we had such a content drought, but I will take it now rather than never. The only thing I am disappointed in is the crazy sub price and that we still don't have mini-games. I hope they do come back, even if it is just for dlc.

Cyrus being able to craft stuff that we can't do is great. I wonder if they planned that or if some of this 'new' content is from Nintendo doing research and pulling from different fan's suggestions and opinions on the web.

I'm so happy right now. I feel like I swallowed a box of fireworks and they keep popping off little bursts of happy!

WAY TO GO ANIMAL CROSSING DEVS! <3

Wouldn’t that hurt?
Oh and how many of you will get the dlc? I probably will.

 

[HappyTails]

Am I the only one who doesn't feel like playing Animal Crossing until the update now?

I can't be the only one. If I am, that's pretty sad for me. XD

 

[b100ming]

Wait. I’m confused. So the dlc’s NOT a part of the main game?

I barely play it as it is now, so this will definitely get me coming back. Harv's marketplace and all the other stuff is the progression-based content that we needed last year.

Do I have to get the expansion?

It’s paid dlc. So in order to get it you either buy it or pay for NSO

 

[HappyTails]

No, DLC is usually a expansion of a main game. And no you don't HAVE to get the expansion.

 

[b100ming]

So it’s free with nso?

 

[Fridaynightcatlady]

You mean NSO expansion? You can permanently buy the DLC for $25

Yes, but according to info spread online, you lose the DLC if you stop paying for the nso service

Well I play online with friends so I’m not stopping anytime soon

You get access to the N64 and Sega Genesis games that they're adding to it. Right now I don't think that N64 and Genesis games are enough to justify the expanded NSO price, so I agree with you - non-AC players do get less benefits. I wouldn't be surprised if expanded NSO gets more features though.

Watch a lot of people get confused though by them having 2 different tiers of NSO. Really stupid on Nintendo's part to do this, when IMO this is just a strategy to get people used to paying higher prices. I bet they will eventually phase out the cheaper non-expanded NSO.

So it’s free with nso?

Yes, but only if you get the expanded NSO, the version that is new and more expensive ($50 per year for a single user, $80 for the up to 8 users family plan). And only if you keep your subscription active. You drop the subscription, you lose access.

 

[HappyTails]

So it’s free with nso?

Yes, but probably better off buying it separately.

I have NSO but I'm likely going to buy the DLC separately so if I decide I don't want NSO anymore, I will still be able to use the DLC.

She has always stipulated she didn't know their exact timeline, just that she had heard about the things they are working on. As far as I can tell, she has been right about those things so far.

Here's a tweet compiling her predictions:

And here's a tweet she had today about the shop upgrade:

People can make their own decision about whether they choose to trust her or not. I personally like checking what she has to say.

Nookazon have put together a master post on Instagram about all the free updates coming to ACNH on November 5th. So for anyone (like myself) who can’t remember all the updates due to shock and excitement here’s the post.

Oh fair! I didn't know she talked again after the Direct. I do like her content too and I hope she's right with that, the store upgrade was the only thing I felt was missing from the update, otherwise it'd be the cherry on top!

lol I didn't even notice the froggy chair. I'm sure the internet with its froggy chair memes is very excited.

Anyone else notice that some of the new Nook Terminal item names start with 'Plaza'? It makes me wonder if we can actually place them in the plaza. I noticed that there's a 'Plaza Teacup Ride', and we already have just 'Teacup Ride' in the game... why the specification I wonder?...
