Festivale Update!

[Cosmic-chan]

i've never heard of beans in animal crossing, those are so cute

not gonna lie though, i was looking through the pictures trying to find baked beans

Haha you're adorable. Back in NL the japanese version of ac had an item called "Beans" it's basically a simple item where you throw beans at your friends. It was supposed to be kept in the japanese version but hackers found a way for the Americans to get the item too. It was a simple item yet it was sought after by many.

I loved the beans in New Leaf, although I'm pretty sure you could get them in NA without hacking as you could just talk to Harvey when he was feeding the birds and he would give you the beans!

Anyways, the new furniture in this NH update looks awesome and I'm definitely excited for the event, but I'm still disappointed on the lack of features they are adding in this update.

 

[meggiewes]

Since we are getting beans and maracas back, I hope Harvey can get them back too.

 

[Pupperina]

I have hope the March update will be better than this one since they’re releasing the Sanrio amiibos to the US in that month. Hopefully we’ll get to invite the villagers + access their furniture!

I know it seems fairly basic and boring on the surface, but I spy a few things that are getting me SUPER excited for this update, naming a few

PARASOL, THE BIG KIND, massive beach upgrade!

BEANS. BEANS GUYS

MARACAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

And.. is that a rug I spy on the floor? A RUG? Wait a minuuuute....
RUGS OUTSIDE?!?!?! Probably just a rug disguised as furniture kinda like beach towels, but beach towels can't be stepped on - only slept on... AND THEY BE STANDING ON IT. So, yes, I'm hyped

I don't want to screw up your mood, but it looks more like a QR pattern on the floor with a new feather item on top. So more like the leaf piles we already have .

 

[Nefarious]

I do wonder what they are going to do now that they don’t have anymore holiday events to fall back on.

Well yeah, but considering it's a Nintendo trailer they don't usually use QR patterns in their trailers as far as I know? Especially in centerpiece items meant to be teased. But yeah, I figured it'd probably just be a single rug item disguised as furniture if nothing else

I have a feeling they're just going to do furniture/reaction updates.
I really hope I'm wrong.

Hold up Saniro amiibos are coming back ?? I've been trying to find those everywhere !! But of course they're prices are ridiculous..

To clarify these are the same amiibo cards from New Leaf and probably will act the same. As in, villagers in New Leaf and posters for New Horizons.

I'd be *very* surprised if that rug was just a QR code. These trailers are carefully put together to showcase the item sets, why feature something so prominently that doesn't even exist?

u can always get the fake ones for £12 or however much they are nowadays
but the real ones are gonna sell fast so u would have to be quick buying them

No that's good. That's exactly what I want. I couldn't get them upon the time they were out years ago. So as a Hello Kitty/Saniro fan I'm happy af rn. I need to keep my eyes peeled.

Precisely! Why display a centerpiece, and make it a QR code? Of course, if it was a fanmade trailer (which it of course isn't lmao) but straight from Nintendo, I do not think that's a QR code and more like a "rug" working like a pile of leaves OR if we're super lucky, rugs will be allowed outside............... >u>

 

[trashpedia]

....

Well that was something

I was kinda hoping for something else other than event-related stuff because I was getting tired of it or didn't have time but oh well. I haven't played ACNH in such a long time because I feel like I have already explored of most the game, but this seems underwhelming.

 

[Raz]

This is one of those situations where you come with the lowest expectations and even then, you manage to feel disappointed.

I don't care for carnaval, festival, whatever. Never liked Pavé or his furniture set, so the only thing I was looking forward while waiting for the trailer was to see if they would tease us with something else... like, something that wasn't announced yet...

Gotta say, as someone who doesn't care for this event and absolutely isn't interested on mario items (I feel like other Nintendo franchise's don't belong to Animal Crossing, they just feel out of place), there's absolutely nothing for me on the horizon (pun not intended).

I think this is a furniture item disguised as a rug unfortunately. It looks like it will function the same way that the manhole cover does.

 

[Sheep Villager]

Hrm. I didn't expect anything else but Pave but this is a very dry update.
I do like the new Pave set at least. It will fit in nicely with my circus zones. Not sure if the red or green variant is better quite yet.

Not a whole lot else to comment on. I see the ogre wig is returning and that does make me happy. Beans, maracas and megaphone will be good for cute photos but not much else as I don't have friends to play with.

I hope gifting the valentines items will trigger special dialog but I don't expect this.

As for my thoughts on future updates...

I think the big updates we had closer to launch are officially a thing of the past. The March update being presumably just Mario items tells me there is not going to be a big anniversary update. By now Nintendo has cemented in the fact they are not going to give anything except for what they put on the tin. I hope other people realize this too so we can avoid a massive upset come March.

My only hope for future updates is that they at least give us April Fools this year. I want Blanca back so badly.

Final thoughts... I wonder if in 10 years or so when the next AC title is in the works we'll get any transparency about what happened with NHs updates. Were they always planned to be like this or did Nintendo simply try to hide how badly the pandemic hit them?​
