so i just heard about a new update (spoilers probably)

[oak]

I'm excited bunny day will have new items! Especially since they seem to be more so rabbit themed rather then egg themed

 

[Matt0106]

everyone has their own opinion on the updates and that's totally fine

but it's also true that games rarely celebrate their 1 year anniversary so the fact nintendo is giving us new items to celebrate it, is really cool of them and i'm super happy about it

Yes exactly! I can understand if it's not what people want, but some people were expecting every little thing from NL. Like you said, games don't usually celebrate a 1-year anniversary, so I'm just happy we got anything at all

Lowkey me though. I don't really care for Blanca. Found her creepy whenever she visited with her RV and that odd scribble face.

No face or scribbles I didn't like her. She's just weird and her holiday isn't worth being put into the game in my opinion. Hers would last the least amount of time of all holidays.

I saw this on Twitter and thought it was fan-made, like those QOL update videos from Nick Ha on YouTube back when the game first came out. AND THEN I SAW THE LITTLE BLUE CHECKMARK NEXT TO THE ANIMAL CROSSING USERNAME!!! THIS IS REAL Y'ALL!!! (of course it had to be right in the middle of my finals week though... 👁👁)

Bunny Day may be obnoxious (hopefully the mechanic of the holiday changes, but not getting my hopes too high for this one!) but based on that one item they showed, at least it looks like the furniture is a lot more usable. Imo, this makes the event a lot more tolerable, because at least we may actually get some use out of the New Bunny Day furniture probably means we'll be getting new furniture for all of the holidays going forward, so YAY NEW FURNITURE SETS!!!

I'm not even going to get into the more custom design slots thing because it's self explanatory. So glad to see they're listening to fans! AND I can carry around little flags AND face-cutouts are coming back? Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming!

I'm super intrigued to see what NookPoints is. I get it's like the NookStop where you check in every day and get the points, but they only showed one of the prizes. That Nook poster looks familiar, though. Is it somewhere else in the game? Will the prizes be that decoration background stuff that we've been wanting since release (museum fountain, Harv's island decor, etc.)? Will there be other ways to get NookPoints besides checking in each day? How will this affect Nook Miles?

KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA KATRINA!!!!
Enough said.

So the video is fake or?

yeah, unfortunately as detailed as it is, the video is fake

I said the same thing in the anniversary thread lmao I never expected an anniversary event because why would there be?? Sure I too miss old npcs but I am content currently with the steady updates. The sanrio update has me excited. I definitely was not expecting all the other stuff they added with this update. The sanrio stuff was enough already to make me happy so now I’m like

Oh. I got confused. Someone said it was real so xc

I'm the same! Unlike NL, this game's updates has kept me playing for about a year now! And I have no plans of putting it down

 

[Faux]

mostly i'm baffled why the screaming echo seems to be ...

" this isn't a one for one remake of new leaf with brand new features, and until it is, this game is worthless and unenjoyable and no one can change my mind!! "

it's still getting more updates, nintendo has given us multiple things that have been asked for in this single update alone, and while i wish there were other qol updates, it's so so so good, guys.

you can ask for more things without beating a dead horse by screaming how it's not exactly what you wanted 19 times.

 

[DrewAC]

Very excited for this update!! I'm so happy they're patching this game more than any other Animal Crossing title. It's been a great year for the game, and I still can't stop playing. I've played all of 'em, and I've never enjoyed an Animal Crossing game this much and this consistently.

 

[John Wick]

I'm going to give Wolfgang a whoopee cushion!

Hey, if we put them everywhere, villagers can sit on them!

Hehehehehehe!

 

[Jam86]

bruhhh ok but as much as i'd love NL items to return, there's so much new, fresh pieces of furniture and if nintendo just kept the same items for every game then eventually everyone would get bored with them and start complaining about the lack of new things instead

i'm sorry i'm just getting a little annoyed because there's so much hate towards every single update nintendo releases like they're doing the best they can and have added plenty of stuff by now
like how many games actually release this much stuff over a year as a free update and not straight up paid DLC?

honestly i do understand and i want NL stuff too but i just think to myself, i can get NL stuff if i just get my ds and play NL or HHD

 

[John Wick]

Hoping we get the omelette from NL for bunny day.

The reason why people are upset is because the way Nintendo made the decision to make it so that updates are spread out, but I mean the fact that they even added some QOL update to the game means they are willing to do it and maybe continue. I know that everyone in the AC community is always wanted certain things and I do understand their frustrations, but at the same time they need to not keep expecting so much for big updates for the game.

The thing is the changes to the game will happen eventually but again its clear from the start that the game came out during a time of a pandemic so I get that most of the stuff that was in the game was left out and added in later in order to polish the game over time, but I know the 1 year wait is starting to bother people. I too was annoyed with the game and I took a long break from it. I learned to keep more opened minded for updates. If there is something I don't like then I would not be interested but if its something I do like then I would turn on the game.

I know what I'm saying isn't new and I know this has been said by others but it is true that this game has really divided the community.

I'm honestly getting to the point where I think I'm going to stop coming here.
I understand that not everyone can like the game and that's perfectly fine.

But I am annoyed that the site I come to because I love the game so much is filled with certain people that can't go 5 seconds without trashing the game or complaining about every single thing.

I mean lots of cool stuff got announced for the game today. It should be a time to celebrate but yet this is going on.

i just don't see that justifying the vitriol especially over this update, tbh. i get being disappointed something you want didn't happen, but i don't think it's much to xpect people *not* to kick, scream and threaten across multiple threads to quit this game over not getting like, the princess set back from NL. if you're so pressed over the set .. go play nl?? or, you know, just ... learn to enjoy *one* thing from these updates. idk man.

i'm just right tired of people acting like they're entitled to every single thing they want and then more, i guess, to the point where no one's allowed to rejoice in anything because they have to state a thousand different ways how useless this feature or that feature is, acting like no one can enjoy it. if that's the end of the game for you, then ... stop talking about it. we can't suddenly make you enjoy something you're hellbent on hating, lol.

feels like walking into mcdonald's, saying because they won't sell you a pumpkin latte on easter that you'll never go to mcdonald's again. it accomplishes nothing, and is just a lot of tiring negativity for something you'll likely get with patience in time.

 

[John Wick]

I am so excited I can hardly stand it!

I can't wait for tomorrow!

 

[Rosch]

I've learned to be VERY patient with this game. Pretty sure there's more to come as the datamine suggests. This is just the start of Year 2. I'll continue giving this game a chance as long as the developers continue to support it.

Regardless of opinion, let's just respect each others' views and move on. There's nothing to gain from this apart from additional TBT when we post. Other people's dissatisfaction should not affect how a person plays and enjoys the game. I am playing for me, not for others.

 

[Eureka]

I'm pretty shocked... I never thought Nintendo would actually add more custom design slots. It's something a large portion of players have dreamed of with little hope of actually receiving. New Horizons has the most design slots of any Animal Crossing game already, right? Nintendo listened to the players in this regard and I'm so appreciative. An extra 50 slots?! That is so awesome!

They shortened Bunny Day, which I know lot of people complained about it being too long. We are getting new Bunny Day items which is great. I'm guessing that means all the other holidays will get some new items too. New items to customize is very cool! I'm in love with that little orange tree item. Overall, some great new things added and quality of life changes!

I'm happy and satisfied.

 

[Corrie]

Wow, an update that's worth it! Happy to see all of it! It's a lot of new stuff too besides just a lame holiday update. I'm really pumped to get the Sanrio folk in my town and actually use my cards!

This is what I never understood. Nintendo did not set out to make out NL 2.0. It's New Horizons. It is its own Animal Crossing game; not a remake or a remaster. If people aren't happy with it, then it's time to let things go and move on. There are plenty of other life sims out there, while everyone is fully allowed their own opinions, they can clearly just leave the game and move on to better things.

I find it shocking by how much energy people put into saying the same thing 50 times. Once or twice is more than enough to get the message across. But when I start seeing it every day, and it's the thing lines or paragraph, I start to wonder if those people would be better off moving onto others things. It's redundant.

Anyway, that's my two cents. Just wanted to say how much I agree with your statement.
