This game desperately needs a villager update.
Festivale Update!

Nintendo has been incredibly oblivious when it comes to fan feedback... since the 80's.
I doubt they'll change their stance now. The game already sold incredibly well, their profits were probably higher than they expected. Even if most of the fanbase just abandoned the game right now, it wouldn't make a difference.

I wasn’t expecting a ton, and I’m still underwhelmed. I wasn’t really excited for this update because I’ve never been a huge fan of Pave/the Festival but still. I was hoping the update would be better?
I was really hoping we’d get some cute Valentine’s Day furniture. Maybe it was wishful thinking but I was really hoping we’d get a rose/flower arch, I absolutely adore having arches in my town but I’m gonna have to take down my ice ones soon and I wanted floral ones to replace it.
The update is really bare bones. I was hoping it would have Pave & some little extras. More hair styles/colours are always welcome, for example. Ah well. Hopefully March is better but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

There are around 15 new furniture items added, you probably missed them on the video. The PR site has photos of most of them: https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/703cc041-e5ff-4399-b70b-33fe7e4f49d9
At the same time, they have added POC hairstyles, fixed the visitor schedule system, readded the camera glitch as a feature and added commonly requested reactions like sitting and dancing. All of those probably are there due to fan feedback. They just won't add everything that people think its "feedback". Some of the fan ideas are great, but others are not.

The hairstyles thing is just fixing an issue that dates back to the first game. The fact that it took so long to implement those is a problem by itself. And it wasn't just "fan feedback", it's more like a sign of the times and social pressure (as having a game like this in 2020 without acknowledging POC is disrespectful and disastrous).
The reactions were most definitely already planned to be unlocked, as they were already in the game (the villagers used them all the time, they didn't have to code anything to satisfy the fans). There was a lot of empty slots for reactions (and there's still a lot of those empty slots, so expect more in the future), so that was a given.
I don't know exactly what is this camera glitch you're talking about.
I'm gonna go against the grain here, I'm looking forward to this! Anything, ANYTHING to break up winter boredom now that December is behind us... 
I never liked Festivale, but I do like catching feathers, oddly enough.

The festive looks awesome and the animations and furniture do too, although i hope we will be able to customize the furniture more than just in green or orange.
However i must say I am a little bit disappointed, unless they are holding the guns in order to surprise us in both February and march i feel sad hahah. Specially if the march update will be only mario stuff or furniture as they hinted

As I said.. useless items to me.
I want furniture, not another arch or another stupid garland.

Unpopular opinion but I LOVE the furniture!! The color and theme looks perfect for my tropical themed island

I think this is honestly the most underwhelming update thus far... I never cared for Festivale in the other games, and I found Pave's side quest annoying. The original furniture was pretty bland too. I do like the new interesting lamps, though. And it looks like there are some kind of hanging streamers (I can't remember what they're called, so I'm going with "streamers" lol) and balloons I could see myself possibly using. Otherwise, everything is pretty much blah. (It's sad seeing PC, a MOBILE game, getting more content and cute items.) I'm also a bit surprised that there aren't any game mechanic updates. I thought for sure Brewster would come; maybe even ceiling furniture or villagers visiting your house. Sad that the next update isn't until March, and if I'm being honest, I hope it isn't just solely centered around Mario's anniversary.
I am really happy and excited for Sanrio's return! I missed out getting the amiibo cards when they first came out, so I'm glad Nintendo has decided to re-release them for us at retail price!

It would make a huge difference if "most of the fanbase just abandoned the game right now." If Nintendo gives up on satiating the appetite of their already installed fanbase, they're going to miss a HUGE opportunity to capitalize on paid DLC when that time comes.

If we learned anything today, it's don't expect much for March. That way we won't be too disappointed if it brings nothing nice, but also, we'll be ecstatic if we get more than just Mario stuff.
i'm hoping for more than just mario stuff, mario's pretty basic imo
legend of zelda is where it's at cries at the lack of wolf link
but yeah i've now learned not to get my hopes up because nintendo doesn't pay attention to what everyone is asking for, they just wanna advertise mario i guess

I'd love the Zelda items, and moreso, the Monster Hunter items!i'm hoping for more than just mario stuff, mario's pretty basic imo

Poogie!
oof i really wanted the monster hunter stuff but never got an amiibo for it
but yes! the legend of zelda items were amazing and need to return, especially the master sword
I've never played either game, except for a MH demo, but have all the amiibo's, and loved all the items!
The fairy bottle, cucco ornament, the gossip stone, etc! ^_^

Honestly? I would bet that even if like, 20% of the players who have bought NH stopped playing today, they could still release a paid DLC as meaningful as "Welcome Amiibo" and people would go back to the game again. The reason is simple: the foundation of the game is good. It's just lacks content. Content they could add for like 10 or 20 USD and most people wouldn't mind paying for it. Remember, Nintendo knows that the AC fanbase is used to buy multiple copies of the same cartridge just to have a second or third town. Paying a third of a full game for a substantial DLC? People would do that in a heartbeat. They know it.
People pay for amiibos, which are basically physical dlc. The only way they would leave money on the table is if they don't release any paid DLC. With an installed base of 26M+ people, it's simply not a smart decision, commercially speaking, to not release any kind of paid DLC.
