March 2021 Update Discussion Thread

[Midoriya]

I’m excited for the island tour creator thing, and who knows, maybe I’ll use more custom design slots in the future (definitely nice that they’re adding more). Looking forward to tonight!

Can't wait to get more designs and scan my cards.

Me for sure, I want to know if there's any data update on the roost, gyroids, museum shop, the other vegetables and the sewing/cooking mechanics.

The gyroids are in the games files, according to tcrf, so maybe they will get added in?

If they are I hope they have a collection tab and like you can donate them like fossils. That could make them fun.

I always found them annoying because they weren't really a collectable you could see progress on, they couldn't go on display (all of them at once) and they got in the way of finding fossils.

I know a lot of people liked them but yeah, to me they were an inconvenience

apologies if this isn’t the correct thread to ask this, but does anybody know what time the update will be finished/playable in GMT? i know it’s usually 1am or 2am but i can never remember thanks to daylight savings, haha.

According to Google:

" According to a Japanese page from Nintendo, the Version 1.9.0 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons containing new Sanrio items and more will be released at exactly 10AM Japan Standard Time on Thursday, March 18th. "

Really looking forward to all the updates to be honest but I'd say the Sanrio villagers and design slots are getting me the most hyped! (and the plant from the tree day event - can never have too many plants!)

Should be 1 AM, if I'm not mistaken.

Has someone already datamined stuff or do you mean when the update drops?

I believe when the update drops, the data miners will go in and datamine.

When the update drops!

 

[LuchaSloth]

This update isn't even out yet, and I'm already more excited about the April forsythia plants.

I am actually looking forward to this more than playing the game. Talk about priorities.

I don't mind getting spoiled. I've always found this exciting.

The pattern spaces are a biggy for me. There wasn't near enough in New Leaf and Horizons was no different. I like using custom patterns in my houses and on furniture, signs, etc. That doesn't leave much for a path. I'm so thrilled we get 50 more. Having 50 more spaces for clothing will be nice too.

I'm confused by the Nook Points system. Couldn't they come up with a more interesting way to earn items?

I'm 85% certain it's to bribe people into using their app.
I would rather it have been handled differently but I've got the app so meh I guess.

The latest update to the game ver1.9.0 is now available.

If the game doesn't auto update, you can manually update the game by selecting the game's icon and pressing the '+' button. Select 'Software Update', then select 'Via the Internet'.
