Festivale Update!

The more I research the update and the closer I look at the trailer, there's a lot more in the update that I thought.

Also, +1 on the Festivale set. I really, really, want that stuff.

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.

You said most. 20% of the players who have bought NH does not account for "most."

You're right. The 20% is basically the portion of the installed base that I expect will stop playing the game after it's first year (or already stopped playing). The playerbase will continue to shrink even if they keep releasing content, because that's the nature of the market. A lot of people played NL, stopped and then came back after Welcome Amiibo. The fanbase is clearly thirsty for content, and there's just so much you can do with the content we currently have. Most people will stop playing the game (at first they will play it least often, and then, they'll just move on to another game) in the coming months. There's other games being released, new consoles... meanwhile, NH still has the same content. The only way to encourage people to come back is to add a bunch of content, and I don't see how Nintendo would choose to do that without charging for it. But people will pay anyway because it's Animal Crossing.

I hear you 100%. I've played every single day since 3/19, and have no intentions not to anytime soon. Depending on the perceived value of the DLC, I'm a day one buyer. The problem is Nintendo has to find a way to add value for all audiences (TT/Non-TT), otherwise, there will always be the complaint about there not being enough content.
 
Ngl is the next update is just Mario stuff I'll be bummed since the items will most likely be ugly and will only work for a video game aesthetic. Bring on Splatoon items bring on LOZ items supersmash even anything but basic Mario stuff
 
So wait...without me digging through 17 pages of posts...was the Sanrio card pack indicating that the villagers will be available to move to our islands again...or just that they're rereleasing the cards?

The cards are definitely being re-issued. It remains to be seen if new villagers and/or their sets are coming with them, or if these cards are just another way to scan their posters into the game.

We’re not sure yet. Nothing official has been said.

it'll be a huge loss for nintendo, if they only add in furniture based off of other nintendo ips, mario or otherwise
