I’m aware that a lot of features were introduced in NL but previous games also still had lots of things to do. Out of all of them WW is probably the one with the least content but even that has more villager personality and interactions than NH.But like there are many features which we love that haven’t been in all AC entries. Brewster wasn’t even on the original. Minigames/Tortimer island was introduced in NL.
I want NPC’s back as much as anybody else, but I see lots of people pushing the narrative that NH lacks content and it irks me. I’m sure a lot of those critics would probably stop playing WW, CF and GCN because of the lack of content.

When you play the previous titles it’s startling just have bare and empty NH is.
You're right NH is an AC game but it has a completely different concept from every other ac game. If I'll be honest I think NH is an experiment to see how people would react to updates instead of pre installed stuffNH is literally a game in the Animal Crossing series. Whilst every AC game is different (and that’s not a bad thing!) you expect a certain level of continuity.
It’s like playing the next Elders Scroll game and finding out that “ooops no, I know you usually get several different races to choose from but this time round there’s just 3. And I know you use to be able to use magic from the get go but this time round we’ll be adding it in a update at some point in the coming years, but who knows when. And I know that last time you could make relationships with NPCs but this time they’re more just there for atheistic reasons. Hope that’s okey. But yeah definitely, the games still gonna be just as expensive as previous titles to buy.”
They had Mario images on the "Next Update" page, so I think that the Anniversary Update will have Nintendo items.
They can roll the Mario Anniversary into the New Horizons anniversary, and add additional Nintendo items.It’s Mario items (for the Mario anniversary). I’m guessing: star, mushroom, hopefully M&L hats.
I hope it's more than that. That's a boring ass update if you ask me lolIt’s Mario items (for the Mario anniversary). I’m guessing: star, mushroom, hopefully M&L hats.

Yeah I know. I don't care for Mario as a whole funny enough so the March update will be utter crap to meDon't expect more. They're telling us is a Mario update with Mario themed items, so that's about what we're gonna get. Anything more is just setting yourself up for a big disappointment. And I don't mean to say it in a snarky way, but I've been disappointed by previous updates as well (expecting more).
I assume this is the reason they are locking so much content behind the code then. It makes sense since, for them, this is merely marketing. They know people want more content but as long as the game sells they don't need to go ham on the game, instead, they'll drop more to grab attention in a drought season. Now I don't know how well this sits with the general public though, I'm not sure the Game as a Service model is really working for people more than it seems to get people a little frustrated from what I see.Just a headsup, I read an interview from November where a higher up at Nintendo was commenting on a slight drop off of New Horizon sales, and he said they would respond to that by accelerating new content.
Announcer: Next update you can wear hats! Stay tuned!It’s Mario items (for the Mario anniversary). I’m guessing: star, mushroom, hopefully M&L hats.
I mean we kind of knew this is what they were angling with from the get-go. I am sure if the lock-down didn't happen they would had been forced to drop more stuff out. They just brought it out at the right time.I assume this is the reason they are locking so much content behind the code then. It makes sense since, for them, this is merely marketing.

I've made a few jokes that they will just drop the Big bro and Little bro hat in the next update, but that would actually be an insult to only get those. Especially because you can pretty much make a Mario and Luigi hat with the qr designer being so customizable now.

Is it this interview?Just a headsup, I read an interview from November where a higher up at Nintendo was commenting on a slight drop off of New Horizon sales, and he said they would respond to that by accelerating new content.
Don't get me wrong, I think it would be cool if they brought them back to. I liked the Metroid costume, Zelda, and Mario stuff. And how they would make unique sounds of the game whenever you put them on. Like the Zelda you found a treasure SE when you put on his boots. But I feel like they won't even bother to put that much effort in it.I actually hope they include the M&L hats. I love them! I usted to wear them a lot back in WW and CF, lol.
