The update is weak, but I'm still very much playing, and will be with or without this update. I love Animal Crossing. The main disappointment I guess comes from getting overhyped. At least we have dancing reactions to look forward to. I've been wanting to dance so badly.
Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere who aren't TTing now have about 30 days left of snow. February 25th is an exciting day to look forward to.

There’s always Sunday night.
I wasn't expecting much so didn't have my hopes up. I'll be so disappointed if it's only the Mario update in March though 
I'm not into the Mario items and I don't typically like crossovers (only exception would be if they added some foresty Zelda items). They definitely need to do something bigger and ~ AC related ~ 
for the anniversary.
I'm excited for those umbrellas and I like that a lot of the items could be used year round to add a bit of spice to the beach!

In my case, it's not that I expected them to completely redo the whole event. My biggest issue is: if the event is going to be LITERALLY the same (as it's been with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Toy Day), why do we have to wait for 11 months to get it via a ridiculously small update (or at least, that's what it looks like)? I just don't understand it. If their intentions are to keep people hooked and make them come back to play the game, it's not working for me. This is making me want to stop playing. I used to defend them and try to see the silver lining (it's free, lol), but I just can't keep pretending this is not the way to go. I understand we're in the middle of a pandemic, but these events are literally copy-paste from New Leaf with some changes in the furniture.
This update looks alright if not a little underwhelming compared to previous updates.
Like others have mentioned, the thing that is more of a bummer to me is the image tease for the next update is the Mario star and mushroom. The other image teases have usually had an NPC on them, and I thought we'd get an NPC in March for the one year anniversary, but now I am less confident about that.

So... where are all dataminers right now?
Are they digging any new-non-existing-content?
Abandon your hope, really... as what we got, what we will get will be just made with not much effort, and promise for the March... it will be still the same game... nothing will be changed...
... so until the end of our sentence on island we can enjoy our pumpkins and celebrate every single day.
Maybe later on in 2021 we will got another insignificant event, giving us extra 30 minutes of play?

Obviously nobody is disappointed in Festivale. People (myself included) were hoping/expecting to see a little more than just festivale.

Quarantine, amIright folks?
Yeah I'm with everyone who's on the disappointment train this morning.
Obviously Festivale will be fun and I'm pumped for the new stuff, but I do think it's a little ridiculous that we're a year in and missing so many of the basic elements from NL... I used to roll my eyes at those who said this game was unfinished at release, but now it's starting to feel that way.
I was hoping that the March 1 year update would be a big release, but now it just seems like it's going to be Mario stuff. I hope I'm wrong!

Par for the course with most updates. We set various expectations based on previous releases and current playstyle, and when those expectations aren't met, disappointment manifests in rapid succession.
I too am satisfied with this update. Having played the game every single day since March 19 (1,125 hours+), any new addition to New Horizons is welcomed and appreciated.

Honestly I'm just wondering, dataminers have discovered a lot of content in the code, so when is Nintendo planning to deliver it? Something as small as villagers visiting wouldn't have hurt them, as it is there. The coffee, a museum update, a nook's update... With how very thin the updates are I feel like we will see the next gen Nintendo console comes out before we get half of them... No but seriously, all that content seems so crazy with how vague and small the updates have been I can't help but wonder when we are getting actual content.

I won't bother watching the trailer since it seems like no one here likes it, but I just want to know if the feathers have been brought back yet? I miss being able to wear feathers like in literally every other game besides AC:GCN.

Wouldn't that be a downgrade to make The Roost being part of the museum again when it was it's own building in New Leaf? Also, why a museum shop? Bring back the observatory, that would be nice.
Well again, I see this game taking a lot of cues from the original games and for game simplicity. The devs don't really want to impair people's islands by having them uproot the stuff player's create or shove players houses closer
Just because coding is there, doesn't mean the complete mechanic, model or whatever is actually there. It very much could be just old code for things they were working on but dropped mid-development.
Honestly if sales continue I can see bigger content drops later, but these have been free updates and a lot of things people want still take a lot of work and resources to make, lots of money to pay lots of people.
Not directed at you, but people keep tossing around the idea of paid DLC but I also bet you or anyone the moment they do they will complain they have to pay for it.

I am feeling indifferent, to be honest. I wasnt really expecting anything in particular so i cant say i am disappointed. I think upcoming updates will add more features than this one, now that they almost got the first year out of the way.
I wasn't expecting much, but it's still disappointing that they didn't actually add anything worthwhile. Also, are the Mario-themed items really the focus of the anniversary update? 
Edit: I wouldn't mind that the update if it weren't for the fact that Nintendo won't update the game forever. If they handle it similarly to Splatoon, there might be 2 more years of updates. At this pace, I fear NH won't even have the content of New Leaf.

LOL. I've been mostly positive about the game but this is lame. I hope it's better than what it seems from the trailer. I think I'm just getting impatient for a big update like QoL or upgraded nooks.... anything
