Animal Crossing E3

[VanitasFan26]

Alright thats it I am done! I refuse to play this game even longer. I am going back to playing old AC games. Clearly Nintendo doesn't seem to care. They had their chance to show that they are still working on the game, but they blew it. Pfft what a disappointment. I tried SO hard to give hope that this game would get an update and I tried to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt that they will at least acknowledge what to look forward to in Animal Crossing New Horizons but they did not.

6 months, For 6 months we've been waiting for a huge update to happen and we tried our best to be patient and to hope that we would get updates that the game needed, instead we got small updates to existing events that we've played before and just more new seasonal items. They are cool don't get me wrong, but its not enough to even play the game. Returning players like me are very disappointed that Nintendo didn't even mentioned how well Animal Crossing New Horizons has helped everyone during a time when the world was in a lockdown.

When I was watching the Direct I went in with no expectations. Of course they showed games that I do like and I had no issues there, but the moment when we were getting to the end is where I started to feel nervous. They showed Breath of the Wild 2 and that was it. It was enough for me to snap. I am sorry but I am just done with this game. I have lost all hope for any updates and its too little too late right now. People can say whatever they want about "being patient" but right now I've waited long enough and now I am just going to put this game down.

I like how I didn't watch the E3 and expected nothing and still got disappointed. I'm moving on from Acnh. Imma start getting into Miitopia.

 

[misstayleigh]

wow that was... unbelievably disappointing

the lack of communication of what the vision is for ACNH's future seems to be the most frustrating part. when the game released, updates seemed to promise stacked and layered rollouts for new content and quality of life fixes. the game as it released felt incomplete, but setting the expectation that the game would flesh out as players got deeper into playtime seemed to make sense, and changed the pace from NL

but as each update becomes further spread out, the quality also has been decreasing. it's a rinse and repeat of bland, flavorless, and almost moot editions. the basic QoL updates players want (and almost need) surpass any niche furniture added—especially when they're not even adding furniture series beloved from past games. nevermind the bigger updates that would breathe life and longevity into the game, like Brewster for charm, or Kappn or Tortimer for expanding island potential

the game is called New Horizons, and I came to expect that meant expanding horizons... the more time passes, the more I start to believe this game is really only as big as one can dive and swim out to. a pretty disappointing show and feels like a total disregard for the player base :/

Animal Crossing stays getting the crap end of the stick. Look how long it took them to come out with a new AC game. Heck, even in New Leaf look how long it took for the Amiibo update. I don’t get it. It’s what like the second best selling game on the Switch and they’re just sitting on an incomplete game??? lmao ugh i hate nintendo

You can blame Splatoon for that.

Damnnn this year's E3 was so underwhelming. There were really good games, like Metroid Dread, Wario Ware, Shin Megami Tensei V, and more info on games like BotW2 and MH Stories 2. Yet, Nintendo seems to value Mario Golf more than our beloved AC. I didn't expect much for Animal Crossing...but no news or updates at all is troubling. I think I might just go on hiatus from playing AC until Nintendo releases an update the game so desperately needs.

 

[Lulucrossing]

I didn’t watch the e3 because I knew nothing was coming out of it but I had this glimmer of hope deep down and I am a bit disappointed. NH has potentials, but as for now, feels very incomplete and soulless. It’s a pity that they are not committed to one of the bestselling games out there. On the other side, I expected that because the last updates were very bland and basic so I think that for now on those are all we are going to receive.

Saying Nintendo's E3 didn't have anything and was garbage just because NH didn't get a spotlight...Nintendo stole E3. They had so many amazing games that they showcased that I am going to get. Advance Wars, Metroid Dread, Rabbids, Mario Party 2.0, Wario Ware, a few I am forgetting, but dang so many goodies I am going to get.

If all you expected was an entire direct of NH beefy update, you set yourself up for disappointment.

 

[nerfeddude]

Okay I was a tiny bit disappointed by the direct, but omg I'm HYPED for BoTW sequel! Finally some news after two years of silence. Also new 2D Metroid and WarioWare look really interesting. And the next DLC fighter for Smash looks cool. I know nothing about Tekken, but it seems a lot of people were excited for this guy.
Maybe some news for NH update will drop later this month? I mean, that's basically how it worked so far. Still, low-key sad Nintendo had nothing to say/show.

I agree. Nintendo direct was actually amazing. Mario Party, Wario Ware, Advance Wars, Metroid, BOTW 2, SMT V. I'm pretty excited.

I haven't touched ACNH in months (hiatus started right before the easter event). I am dying for substantial content, Nintendo. I really thought they were holding off on a big update for E3, but I guess I'm a clown for believing that because there was absolutely nothing. Zilch. Not even a mention of some sort. I thought an update would have been announced when they did the DLC segment, but when nothing was shown my hopes rapidly dwindled. Guess I'll just wait and hope for something during the next Direct, whenever that will be... T_T

Plus we're approaching summer, which doesn't have a lot of content to offer in terms of updates revolving around holidays. This content drought is probably going to last for a while, unfortunately...

*EDIT: I also want to mention that the Direct was otherwise very good! Even though I'm not really interested in any of it, I thought Nintendo had a pretty solid conference--especially when compared to the others this year. I know a lot of people wanted a new Smash player and BOTW2, and Nintendo brought both! Metroid 4 was mentioned and Dread was announced. A big day for those players.

 

[trashpedia]

It's been a while since I have been on the forums since I haven't played Animal Crossing for half a year now, but wow >.>

Honestly Nintendo has had a much better E3 presentation compared to others so I'm thankful for that. It's disappointing that there's no Animal Crossing updates, but Fatal Frame and BOTW 2 kinda make up for it tho

Someone mentioned AW is $80, so that is a kick in the stomach though. I will probably still get it, but why so much more?

yeah. Tbh the one game I wanted to see more of was BotW2...didn't get as much info as I thought there would be but at least there's an initial release date...well, release year. As for AC, I didn't expect anything. Still don't, at least not until the end of this year or beginning of next, at the earliest.

 

[Che5hire Cat]

At this point, I guess I will moving on from Animal Crossing for now. I was most of the time positive when it comes to NH, but this game just doesn't have anything right now that keeps me motivated playing it. I had no problem with the idea of content getting added via updates however I expected a bit more from that. Idk, I still like this game, but at the moment it's not interesting for me at all. Maybe changing my mind about it later, who knows.

It has sky islands. That's pretty dang cool. I do hope they switch up the land a bit more so it isn't so samey. Maybe somehow Ganon's resurrection caused a big shift in the landscape.

You can blame Splatoon for that.

oh and i do lmfao i have been since the delay lol i’m happy for splat players but hire more devs nintendo!

It’s $59.99 on the website unless you mean in another currency.

You had some kind of expectation if you are upset AC was not shown. You clearly were expecting AC to be shown.

 

[Hsn97]

I’m really not surprised that NH wasn’t featured at E3. It’s really sad, but I think at this point we need to stop pinning our hopes on a update that will probably never happen and just accept that the game is what it is.

 

[Etown20]

Just a heads up - there's a big eShop sale going on right now! For those looking for something else to play until the next update comes, now might be a good time to pick up something new.
