I got this from an article:

" All of these new Custom Design related features will be available in the March Update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons set for release on March 18th, 2021. (some time zones can enjoy the update in the evening on March 17th!)"

Thank you!! That’s good because I’m a night owl so I’ll be able to move in Rilla that night. So excited!!
 
It's usually 10AM JST (Japan Standard Time), so that means:

6PM PST, March 17
9PM EST, March 17
1AM GMT, March 18
12PM AEST, March 18
Oh wow I live in the East part of USA so it comes out tomorrow night for me. Thats great!
 
wait so would i be able to change the timezone on the switch to get it earlier?
 
Genuine question lol, where did all the “anniversary update” talk come from?
Do games nowadays usually have 1 year updates?
Or is it because of the huge amount of potential content in NH?

That’s awesome! I’ll be able to play at 8pm. I plan on making a sanrio item giveaway thread so I’ll be able to take orders so early then.

That would be awesome but it's not how timezones work.
Nintendo will send out the signal to everyone at the same time, just the number on our clocks will all be different.

it's funny because i was just talking to my sister earlier and she pointed out that games don't normally have 1 year anniversary updates, even NL which i didn't notice lol

but NH is so popular and a lot of people have been talking about the 1 year anniversary coming up so maybe that's why nintendo did it

To Answer your question. The Anniversary talk is about the 1 year anniversary of New Horizions being released which was on March 20, 2020. To put it simple people were wanting more stuff and changes to be added to the game. As what we just showed right now it does do some of that but it wasn't enough for some people.

I was hoping for a mannequin. :)

Oh lol I know that but I mostly meant why people were expecting a massive update specifically for the anniversary, when it’s not usually something that happens for other games

It was just a symbolic date that people were pinning their hopes on to.
There was never any reason to actually think we would get something on that date over any other.

Someone probably just said it would be cool if it happened and then it snowballed from there.
The more people say something, the easier it is to believe it after all.

Well mainly because people were expecting a whole lot of things to come back to the game like Brewster for example. There are other things like improvements to the game, fixing the online system since it lacks a lot of online modes, and of course the villager dialogue not being too good just to name some of the issues people have to the game. That doesn't happen with many games because they are mostly played for one time and people move on to another thing, but Animal Crossing is different because in past games where there was a lot of content to enjoy it didn't quite leave that impact on certain fans of AC.

I hate getting off topic but to be on topic with the recent news that has come out about the update, some people were disappointed that it didn't do much considering its coming out in March 18th and the Sandro will be available in March 26th. Thats why March 20 is considered a 1 year anniversary mainly because people were wanted so much more added to the game.

Not to get you less excited but do we know if people who already have the cards can use them right away. Unfortunately don’t have the cards myself but seeing this makes me wonder if you have to wait until the 26th.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they time locked it.

They might have done but I don't think they will have. I know you can buy knock off cards or cheat the system in other ways. But it would be a nice loyalty reward for those who got the cards years ago.

Maybe I'm just being too hopeful though
