when i get New horizons.... will i have to download the updates that have already happened for the game *you know, the summer update & what-not*

or will they be on the game already?
 
I'm not 100% confident but I believe the game will download an update as soon as you try to start the game for the first time.
 
If you're buying the game from a store, it has probably been sitting on shelves in warehouses and such for at least a little while. The chances of it not being the latest version are pretty high there.

Digital download versions will probably just download everything at once, but don't quote me on that. (It will have to download everything either way! :D)

Your switch should tell you if there is an update available the moment you launch the game, but if it doesn't (and your game is not on version 1.4.1) you can do it manually by pressing + on the game on the home menu, then going to "Software Update" and selecting "Via the Internet". Normally it just works automatically though. ^^

i guess i'll get the digital download version, then :3
 
I don't think the updates need to be a factor when choosing physical vs digital. My copy is a physical one and I barely noticed the updates. Time time you'll take downloading and installing the updates is probably the same for both.

Don't quote me on this but I don't think you need a Nintendo Online membership to update the game, just a connection to the Internet.

i read on https://animalcrossingworld.com/202...ween-update-version-1-5-0/?Bibblio_source=UTM that ' Your copy of the game should update automatically for you, but if for some reason it doesn’t, you can manually trigger the update by pressing the + button on the Animal Crossing: New Horizons home screen icon, selecting Software Update, and hitting Via the Internet. '


that's good... i'm glad :)

so i think that Hypno KK is right about they said, about it not mattering which i get, physical or digital... :3
