Not until February 1st it seems.

You can get those tonight if you TT though. They were always going to be a Nook Stop thing, so they weren't going to be available tonight for non TT

i’ll admit, i was one of the many people who weren’t very impressed by the new update. however, on my end, i feel like that’s partially the trailer’s fault as now that the update has actually dropped, i’m feeling a lot more optimistic. i really enjoy the look of the rainbow festivale items and am super stoked about the mermaid fence finally being in the game! overall, while it’s still definitely not the greatest update, i’m content with it for the moment. :’)

The trailer did a horrid job of making this update look so bad. As we discovered more it appears this update won't be so bad.

Yeah, I was only expecting festivale stuff so I wasn't as disappointed as others but that trailer was so low effort! Really felt like they were going out with a whimper instead of a bang on the holiday updates, especially for the holiday that's all about dancing and partying.

 

[Cosmic-chan]

This holiday is about partying yet the trailer made it look so meh

 

[coldpotato]

Now I'm actually thinking the trailer was rushed last minute because it really left out a lot. I'm definitely not going to judge an update by the trailer again.

Everything you said against what I posted was missing, looks like you were drowning and clutching at some very, far reaching straws, but that's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

There are many that feel the addition of any of what I had listed would only improve NH.

Over & out.

That’s how I felt about many of your points — especially the features that have clearly been improved in vast ways.

I’ve seen posts here where the developers have been called lazy and incapable of their job and if that’s because some didn’t get a carbon copy of a 3DS game on the Switch, then that’s just beyond cruel, sad, and wrong to say. I’d wager the same people are probably still playing the game, too!

Never hurts to be positive and hopeful. Nintendo has a great track record, as does Animal Crossing.

What did we do?

Let's see.

In NL, we had Tortimer island, where it was always summer, and only cost $1000 bells a trip to get there via Kapp'n's boat, and it had an amazing beetle spawn rate (and a drop box that held quite a few beetles and sharks etc, you could pick up at the drop box back in your town), and a shop with exclusive items including the silver axe that allowed us to make stumps with awesome patterns, as well as the tour games that were awesome and won you medals to spend in the island store, plus you could gather fruit (mango, banana, lemon, lychee, durian), flora and fauna that wasn't available in your town.

We had an ANIMATION whilst travel on Kapp'n's boat, we had a song he was singing.
It's worth to mention, drop box has a size of 40 items, what is current limit in NH.
While mentioning medals, it's worth to remember we had "FOUR currencies" in NL instead of two: Bells, MEOW coupons, Medals and Play Coins and every single currency was serving a purpose.

Then we had Main Street, or Nookingtons in Wild World, but Main Street had the Emporium, that housed Leif, and Gracie as well as the many items, including fortune cookies with nintendo items, that could keep you collecting for YEARS, and they were unique, as were the MANY furniture sets, that could be customized at Re-Tail - another awesome feature.

I really miss the rococo set.

Gracie had her unique furniture as well, like sweets and gorgeous sets.

We had Katrina that could let you know if you were going to have a lucky day.

We had Club LOL and Dr Shrunk with his joke book, instead of this impersonal reactions UI.

There was the museum shop, and the four rooms you could rent to do what you wanted with.

If some new players never played NL and never experience Club LOL unique atmosphere may not understand this, as this club had multiple purposes as: stand-ups, disco with dancing gyroids, lovely animations with lights and player was able to dance on the floor. K.K. was a D.J and performer, what was more common sense than sitting since 5AM on hard stool and acting like a homeless musician instead of being a real star.

There was Harvey's Campground that had NPC's arrive each day in their RV's with unique items to buy with meow coupons you got from completing Isabelle's daily tasks, or by beating levels of Desert Island Escape and the other mini game you could play on the in game DS item.

It's worth to mention, inside of RV's we were able to meed a special characters. MEOW coupons could be exchanged for bells.

You could also feed the birds with Harvey.

We had house styles such as modern, and zen castle, and so many awesome exteriors and mail boxes as well.

We had a full sized mansion, and with a plethora of items that could literally take years to get, we had no trouble filling or theming it.

We had perfect fruit that could give us dead trees.

We had some great PWP's like the windmill, statue fountain, wisteria trellis, flower arch, topiaries, zen bell etc.

There was a ton of awesome DLC, and the holidays had furniture sets.

We had Brewster who you could work for to get special cafe items and gyroids from.

We had the post office, with Pete, Pelly and Phyllis, not an impersonal card stand.

We had the HHD giant furniture too, and the mini dinosaurs Cyrus could make.

We had extra "secret" storage area.

We had more interesting conversation with Gulliver and answering his question may be considered as educational as well as having unique gifts and some of them could be customised.

We had Happy Home Showcase.

We had "Happy Home Team" instead of anonymous society sending a letter with results.

We had Phineas and the badges.

What was a nice addition to MEOW achievements. MEOW achievements are more interesting, had more depth and some of them meant to be completed within a day, week or so.

We had a more meaningful relationship with villagers.

There is a heap more, this was just off the top of my head!

Most importantly - we had FUN.

But now, we have Resetti figurine

Can feathers be worn by the player like with flowers?
