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

[Foreverfox]

This is great. I don't make my own designs often, but I do use other designs, such as a couple of custome paths for outdoor flooring, and villager caricatures for outside their houses. Those take up all of my current slots, so it's frustrating to have to shift out a design that I did make, on occasion, and have to re-make it.

Having the design portal on your phone is going to be awesome. I can't believe it took this long for that, honestly. I hated when I missed the hours for Able's, especially during events on here where you have to design custom things! Nerve-racking to say the least.

Love that they're adding umbrellas, flags, and standees. I'll probably give each of these a whirl.

The brochure...so cute! I can't wait to make a little brochure for my island! I wonder if these will be actually items that you can give? Like villager's posters? That'd be cool, to have a collection brochure from friends.

Now this is a nice surprise! I didn’t expect it!
Super excited for the 50 design slots PLUS did you all see the me toon of Katrina?? Maybe she’ll be visiting our island soon!
I’m also happy that they changed and improved bunny day! I only saw one item yet but it looked cute and I preferred the look over the last years items!
Honestly, I’m overall excited maybe Bc I had no expectations lol. The standees we can customize are exciting too and someone said customized flags?? Heck yes.
I don’t think it’s a proper update personally because of the lack of the trainer maybe something exciting is still in store after this update?
Overall I think the update shows they’re listening to their fans. It’s a slow process yes, but I’m optimistic that eventually they’ll change some QOL things we’ve been asking for since a year like bulk crafting or stacking of items like clams.
I can’t wait to find out more about the new things ☺

I assume you meant trailer instead of trainer?
We did have a trailer for the sanrio stuff which is also part of this update. So personally I count it as a bigger update.

Still routing for lots more stuff soon because can you ever have too much stuff? Don't think so

This looks pretty beefy! Hopefully this sets the bar for the rest of the 2021 updates

 

[Peach_Jam]

So happy for the additional custom design slots!! that opens up a lot of opportunities to get creative with your island, whether you've just started decorating or are close to finishing.

 

[ivorystar]

I'm excited! Those design slots fill up so quick! I'm glad I upgraded my phone too lol I can finally download more apps

The variety of things we are getting in this update has me hopeful for 2021. The 2020 updates were all fairly small and I wonder if that was mostly because of the pandemic. While we're still in this pandemic, I think most people have adapted or companies like Nintendo have figured things out, so maybe now these updates will be more sizeable and will start providing more new content and possibly more importantly, QoL updates. I'm going to be positive for now (until the next update disappoints me...)

One thing I’m a bit sad about tho, Blanka and April fools day still didn’t return
It was one of my favorite events in new leaf

Wasn't one of my favorites, but I agree with you. It's sad to say, but I think I've just gotten used to the smaller holidays being turned into Nook Shopping items with no mention of them from any villager or NPC

 

[Sheep Villager]

Can't believe they replaced my second favourite NPC with this.

I consider this a personal attack.​

I'm actually pretty glad that event didn't come back. I didnt find it fun and found it cheap to the point of feeling like a cheater to get villagers photos from it.

Blanka wasn't always an April fools day character so maybe they can repurpose her for something else

 

[Fridaynightcatlady]

Can someone post a pic with all of the items? I can’t get in the website for some reason.

 

[Jam86]

it would have been cool we did get april fools but instead of recieving villager photos, we got different types of prank items like the whoopee cushion for example

like the whoopee cushion is pretty naff tbh and i probably won't use it but it would still be nice to have an event with blanca and get something other than photos

alsoooo vv

 

[charmingpeach]

This is actually a huuuge update if you think about it. It's probably the best one we've had in months! There's a lot of new content and items, so I'm super glad that we got it! Most excited about the standees, they are simply adorable!

 

[Ganucci]

What if the anniversary cake is customizable and this is the default "summer" version and then you can customize it to be a spring, fall, or winter version as well! I hope that's the case.

Concerning what the Nooklink Rewards will be.

Either cool items trapped behind online subscription and app download or just app based things. Like fortune's from Katrina which were shown, which then also sucks because then it is unlikely the feature will be in the game itself.

 

[watercolorwish]

Yesss, so excited about more design slots! Definitely going to be a game changer for themed islands

 

[Fridaynightcatlady]

Blanca could still come back, though. Like she used to wander around your town back in CF and WW and you had to draw on her face and she’d go to different towns (online). Not sure if Nintendo would be ok with that today, but maybe they’ll bring her back for something other than April Fools.

Katrina I’m concerned about

 

[ForgottenT]

YES! More design slots!

The Tom Nook poster was such a let down as a reward we already see him all the timeWas it dumb of me to think the rewards would be anything different than the Nook-brand stuff from the nook stop? Guess we’ll have to see

One of them is the poster of Tom Nook that is taped up in the RS. I'm curious what else there will be
