When does the "update" drop?

[Cosmic-chan]

The update is time locked too? What's even the point of it dropping today then? Stupid af.

Tell me about it. Like, we already have little to do in the game outside of decorating and hunting for creatures, and the little content we do get we cant even use until some arbitrarily chosen time? For why?

 

[Cosmic-chan]

It's the single dumbest move ever. It's not like there's an event attached to it so why have the update drop now if we can't even do anything until March? Just drop it in March.

I guess that’s fair something to look forward to?

Here's a list with all the stuff coming with this update!

Personally, I find them all kinda cool actually.

I am just desperate for the pipes so excited to be able to access my secret beach without ladders

According to Twitter, it's 2/25 so tomorrow?

 

[Snakeisbaby]

Yup it’s today. Here are the times that it will be released according to AnimalCrossingWorld:

• Wed, February 24th at 5PM Pacific Time (PST)
• Wed, February 24th at 6PM Mountain Time (MST)
• Wed, February 24th at 7PM Central Time (CST)
• Wed, February 24th at 8PM Eastern Time (EST)
• Thu, February 25th at 1AM GMT
• Thu, February 25th at 12PM Australian Eastern Time (AEDT)

Thanks for posting that, midnight after I am already dead from studies brutal lol! Least there really no need to play it straight away since stuff comes later

It's a bit silly to see the items sitting there time locked and unable to buy them. It just feels like one big tease; just drop them when they're released and be done with it in my opinion.

This tbh. It's the single most annoying update this far. It makes me cringe

It’s the 25th for Japan, so that means it’ll be the 24th for those of us in North and South America.

For whatever reason they don’t change the date when they post the trailers on the NoA twitter and youtube accounts.

Ahhh... okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

 

[Feraligator]

Yeah time locking these items makes literally no sense, they're not tied to any events or anything you can spoil...If anything why not just have the update in March when the items release?

I literally cannot understand this

Thanks for the link. Here's the rundown for the lazy people:

Super Mario Wallpaper - available immediately (check mail after updating)
Hinaningyo Doll & Blossom Lantern - Feb 25 to Mar 3 (available only one at a time, check daily)
Super Mario Items - Mar 1
Shamrock Rug, Shamrock Doorplate & Shamrock Soda - Mar 10-17
Pi Day Pie - Mar 14

I am also hoping for QoL updates aside from this. But I doubt it.

Oh, and the snow is finally gone today (for those on Feb 25th).

I don't know what Nintendo was thinking. I mean in the Direct they make it look like that it was coming on February 25th only to fool us when they say that it would be released by March 1st. So I mean what are we suppose to do in the next 4 days if its time locked?

 

[JKDOS]

Any idea what will the update include immediately? Trying to decide if it’s worth waiting up until 1 am

I'm not sure we'll see much after the update since Shamrock items will likely be time locked until March 1st along with the Mario items. Probably safe to assume you can just go to sleep.

As I’m half Irish I should be excited about that but I hate green Just the pipes and I really want the princess peach outfit

Getting late here and I really should be sleeping

i'm in the uk.. but i didn't play today, so i haven't gotten there to see the update yet... tommorrow, i'm playing... :3

 

[tajikey]

I'm jazzed for this one! Taking the Switch home today to get my update on!

 

[John Wick]

TBH, all of the items look very crappy.

NL items were still better IMO, even with the downgraded graphics, I expect more from a switch game.

Still pissed they left out the Venus Flytrap and Yoshi Egg.

 

[Cosmic-chan]

I just want the Peach crown tbfh
