Festivale Update!

Low-effort "update", as expected.

Good, now that they have run out of holidays to milk, maybe they'll try to actually deliver meaningful content in the next update.
My exact thoughts. I really didn't like the holiday updates because they are merely recycling what was there on previous titles, now they'll actually have to put in effort for actual content, so let's hope they start bringing out the exciting stuff. Thankfully, the March update should set a precedent, let's hope it's not low-effort and there's way more than the Mario items, it's the anniversary after all!
 
Nintendo managed to do less than I expected. At this point I wouldn't recommend thinking the March update will bring much more than the Mario furniture. The very least they could do is give people the Brewster content we've been asking for almost a year. At this rate can you imagine how long it will take for the loved (not even all) NPCs to return? I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt when it came to Animal Crossing over the past year but I'm getting angrier as I write this and I'm at a point where I want to fly to Nintendo HQ in Japan and flip some tables.

This time I can't stay online to read the usual defenses for my own sanity. Have a respectful day.
 
Was really hoping for a feature update. At least I really like the new event furniture and I have some perfect ideas for it. Hoping we get more than 'mario day' for the games anniversary.
 
Yeah......extremely disappointing.
Don't care for the outfits or the ugly green furniture (I hope we can at least customize it).

So nothing's gonna happen next month except for the Pave event? :cautious:

And the update in March...mario items.....but no mention for any first anniversary 'big update'?

I don't know man......the lack of content is driving me away from this game...
 
Ooof. I'm getting Bunny Day vibes from this. Maybe the pastel colors. I do like the beach umbrella and stand/plant lamps. Think I can add those to my beach area/tropical area.

Does seem a tad low effort. Was really hoping for something out of left field. I want more public buildings or some new mechanic/feature. Maybe next time. :confused:
 
So far my least favorite update in my opinion. The only thing that's new is Festivale Event, a bunch of new Reactions, and probably some new furnitures...That's all. I think i'll leave my island to grow more weeds again

Well, i'll just wait for the next update or if possible,1st anniversary update i guess...

Another update that is solely a holiday update. That's really disappointing. I don't see any reason to come back to my game outside of the holiday day.

And the following update having Mario updates is a big yawn. I love Mario, but Mario objects in Animal Crossing stopped being amusing after the first Animal Crossing.

Nintendo is really dropping the ball with this game's updates. :(
 
As someone who love all holiday events in Animal Crossing games, I'm satisfied. As someone who sees the community's wants for this game, I think @Insulaire said it best...

I've had to pull away from posting on this forum because of the overwhelming negativity. But even I am second-hand embarrassed by this thin "update"-- oof indeed!

It really feels like Nintendo hears us, sees us, and doesn't care. QoL updates, including some things that are so small like choosing how many customization kits/shrub starts/etc. you purchase, that people have been asking for since day one are still not here. It makes me sad that a franchise that has my whole heart has apparently stopped caring about the people who love it.

Well, i'll just wait for the 1st anniversary update i guess...

I'm quoting you specifically because I saw your post, but this is to everyone talking about the "1st anniversary update"...there is no 1st anniversary update or at least not a confirmed one. As of now it looks like Mario items are the March update and we might simply get an orderable item from Nook Shopping to celebrate the 1 year anniversary...like a cake or something. I wouldn't get my hopes up for any type of 1 year celebration.
 
Honestly I think people are being a little harsh on the update. Is it the most amazing one so far? No. I think this update is the weakest one in terms of content.

However it’s also an update and something new to this game. It brings new furniture, new event, new reactions and new character interactions (in terms of the pave event) Plus orderable seasonal furniture which is a nice touch aswell.

It’ll probably keep me busy for the day (time travelling back maybe to get everything). Plus considering I have outside commitments now which means I don’t play the switch as often as before and I still have a lot of my town to tweak. I don’t see the issue as some do with there being no content left. (But we all play differently so, each to their own)

I think it’ll be fun. Could have been more but at-last, it’s something.

I know that, but still hoping that the next update is not only about Mario items but also about the game's 1st anniversary although the chances are quite low
 
Wasn't expecting anything besides Festivale, and I have to say that I am not disappointed in the least. I do like the look of the new Festivale furniture items.

I am probably alone in not being disappointed though

This update is looking great! I am looking forward to Festivale!

I'm not disappointed either. I think Pave looks great and I'm excited to catch feathers. I just wonder if I will be caught up by the time it is out since I am slowly TT my way back to present day.
 
Posting again because I changed my mind on the table flipping. I'm willing to think the smaller update is a result of the holidays and the current state of the pandemic. I'll wait to see what they have planned for AFTER March.
 
A bit underwhelming... Nothing really exciting, but looking forward to Festivale regardless.
I do wish the events were more than popping balloons for diys and catching crafting mats with our nets. Hoped for more Valentine's Day items as well.

I'm really hoping they bring the Sanrio item sets back! I'm not crazy about the Mario update. I've never used those items, but the Sanrio items would be awesome.

I’m honestly thinking this as well. They don’t have to give us an anniversary update. It would be nice if they did but I’m thinking they probably won’t. I think your right with if we did get anything if probably will just be a cake. It might be best not to get hopes up for any of the updates that we will get. I will be happy if one day we get Brewster but have to remind myself they might not add him.
