I think they’ll hint towards a July update but I doubt it’ll be anything major, tbh.
Animal Crossing E3
- Thread starter LokiBoy
- Start date
what do i want to see? probably the same as most other people here lol. brewster, gyroids, and god pls give me qol. let me set ordinances and limit how many flowers spawn!! and i hope if they bring brewster back that its not just like a phone app like what they did with katrina. katrina was probably the PERFECT npc to use as a traveling sales person in the plaza, so i hope it doesnt indicate a trend or anything as far as that goes.
oooo i hope we also see them do something cool with label. like i hope she rejoins able sisters and gets a little upstairs to sell accessories (but not just her brand of accessories). nooks cranny could also use an update imo. but thats all stuff i would want to see.
as far as what im expecting, i could see them adding new furniture sets and adding items onto already existing events. but honestly thats it. i really dont expect an update to be that huge.

I couldn’t agree more. I feel like a game like a platoon only need one releasing per generation, then add content to that game over the course of that generation. Why make another game like it when their going to have the same graphics and Content. Animal crossing only releases one game per generation if you don’t count the spin offs.
Yeah, given Splatoon 2's basically been left sitting there for another couple of years, they ended that game's content WAY too soon (which is probably why they reran the Splatfests last year, but then again, LOL COVID DELAYS) but they'd definitely started development of Splatoon 3 by then (which is why the final Splatfest is the "hey, so we've got a couple of concepts in mind, which one should we do?" one)
But on the other hand, Splatoon and AC are the same team, sure... but they're for the most part different devs, so I don't think one's effecting the other. Same producers, same art director, but different directors, different sound directors... as well as a load of Nintendo devs who cycle around various projects in Nintendo EPD.
I would like to at least see a "keep your eyes open for the next seasonal update in Animal Crossing" if we don't get anything else, because they need to unlock the fall events again.
To be honest, ACNH is starting to feel a little bit like the Sims 4. Very pretty. Lovely building. But it just isn't deep enough. I love building in ACNH, but even I'm starting to get a bit bored.
E3 is the perfect time to announce something because it always gets a lot of media attention. I would be pretty surprised if they didn't announce anything at all.

I'm hoping they announce new content. I know some would be disappointed, but I wouldn't mind paid dlc as long as it isn't more than $30. With that I hope they bring back Club Tortimer or something like it. I miss being able to interact with random players in that way. I also hope we get The Roost back, the ability to change the resident services design like we could town hall in new leaf. I'm also hoping for more diy's of course
I want more museum expansions with fish, bugs, fossils, and art that is even harder to get.

I gotta say, I was really disappointed that they made the village seem so dumbed down. Interacting with villagers used to be so much more fun. What happened to getting all sorts of quests?
It will prevent you from being disappointed.
Honestly, my hopes for E3 and this speculation is that one major thing being possibly reintroduced are RV (or in this case, boat) cards for the small dock when you scan them in. They already have a plethora of items from the RV series, and this gives them a chance to release some new series collection to complement the theme of New Horizons. It’s definitely a really low chance, but I’m still hoping it’ll be implemented at some point.
Other than that, I still have hopes for SOMETHING pretty significant for New Horizons at E3, but I’ve been trying not to get too excited. I don’t want to be disappointed. Mah heart fragile QQ. TuT
I feel like it's a given that we'll get brewster eventually, so my wishlist is as follows:
1. Reintroduce more old furniture sets. It feels like 90% of the furniture in this game are just recolors of the same 10 or so sets.
2. Ceiling furniture a la happy home designer and pocket camp
3. Adding a minigames system, either something similar to the island tours from ACNL (unlikely) or bringing back the NES games from ACGC (waaaay unlikely lol)
I don't think any of these will actually happen, but you can dream right? lol

Whatever we get is what we get. I won't have any expectations at all in that event - Not even for other game reveals.
Anyways, I think there's a new lesson to be learned about buying games in the modern era:
Never buy a game for what it potentially may have in the future. Buy a game based on what it has at the moment.
I.e.: Assume no updates will "fix" a game you're buying, and see the game for what it is in its current form. And if its current form doesn't look good to you, don't buy the game - not even if the game vaguely promises updates.
This doesn't just apply to Animal Crossing: Games like Super Mario Party and Mario Maker are also prime examples of players expecting updates to "fix the game" - Yet did the developers even promise such specific fixes in the first place? Not at all! It's just the heavily gamer entitlement mentality that makes us think they may implement them.
The mentality of expecting updates that the makers never promised will forever make the consumer the fool.

That maybe so, but Nintendo said that they will "update" the game when they see more people play it to discover surprises. With all due respect I know Animal Crossing does have a lot of secrets but many people in general don't play the game to look for hidden surprises they just want to see the game improve and have content. I think Nintendo misunderstand the concept of an "update" since they are so out of touch of how modern games usually update with new content.
They said they will add, in a vague manner, "Updates".
They did NOT say Brewster, Gyroida, Tortimer Island, Gracie Shop Upgrade, Villager Visits, Rococo Furniture, fixed up dialogue, beach terraforming, or anything else like that will be added.

I'm not expecting anything, but some kind of QoL update would be nice. Not necessarily on E3, just sometime in the game's life. But I am not even expecting that.
I am expecting Nintendo to reveal something during E3, whatever that may. Botw2, something Metroid, more news on the Pokemon games, ect. Not all of these games or even any of them. But for Nintendo to have a spot on E3, they need to have to show something for it. Unless it's just a 40 minute stream of a blank screen lol.

Personally I don’t really care too strongly either way about an update announcement. I would enjoy an update, I always do, but I also like the game as is and am still enjoying myself, so why set myself up for disappointment by expecting some imaginary update? It would be nice to have some more items which would accommodate a range of different aesthetics, which does not seem outside the realm of possibility based on previous updates. I don’t think items are lacking in terms of number really, but I do think more fantasy/ modern/ creepy etc item lines would be fun and inject some new design inspiration (in part I was convinced by people here that this would be a valuable addition to the game.) it’s a nice to have not need to have for me, but it will be interesting to see what happens.
Mainly, (though I think maybe this is an unpopular opinion) I would rather have no update than paid dlc. Even though I would buy it and certainly get my money’s worth. I just hate the model where you buy a game and have to keep buying new content for it every x months/ years/whenever. I know that is the popular model now, and I’m a grumpy old person. But I just don’t like it.
the only thing I really strongly would want would be more spots for villagers, since they are my favorite part of the game. But of course I don’t expect that to happen, and I know it is an unlikely hope.

I don't have any expectations for anything NH related being shown at E3, lol. If they show something, cool! I'll eagerly await the update that puts whatever they show us into the game. If they don't show anything, that's cool too! I'll keep playing the game daily at the more-or-less minimum level I'm already playing it at, no problem.
I'll note that in terms of what I would like from Nintendo's E3 presentation, an NH update is lower on that priority list for me, tbh. There's just other potential games out there that I'd like to see Nintendo cover ahead of NH.

I think you have a good point. My problem is I didn’t expect certain things to be in updates. I expected Brewster, diving and many others things in the base game. It is my own fault for expecting certain things. I think if they do have another animal crossing or just another game with this sort of update system I will be waiting for awhile before buying to see what happens.

That's a good point but Nintendo is just better off listening to what the fans want at this point. I hate to come off rude but, just because Nintendo didn't directly say that all that stuff the fans (including me) want, doesn't mean it's just not going to happen at all. Nintendo expanded the qr code design thingy to 100, and that was highly requested, so clearly they do listen to us. So, trying to say this in the nicest way possible, just know that Nintendo has a habit of surprising us, and maybe that surprise will be a better update to the game. So maybe don't say it's 100% never going to happen because I'm sure it will, you just have to be patient
They might add them, they might not add them. But my point is more about spending money on the game and expecting that the features not in the game will be there in the future. And that. I'm afraid, is quite the losing gambit for the consumer.
For the consumer to win, they must hold back purchasing until they know that all the features they want will be in the game. Goodwill of features should be put in the finished product, or at least transparent that they'll come in updates - Not from forcing mindgames on whether to put the features in or not.
