So the whole thing about the fairies v walrus , do my animal crossing girlies remember the old GameCube commercial(the actors in the goofy costumes) where one said to the other "hey, a walrus just moved in to the neighborhood" and the other one said "that's hot"?
I should have posted my wish list for the direct -_- but I was pleasantly surprised that they finished adding the basics 2 years later before they added dlc ...
but then again, I’m very easy to please and don't really think about things until I see someone with big brain energy thinking...
also my serious thoughts are at the very bottom
Brewster
Glad he’s back, after almost 2 years...
Hopefully Celeste gets her observatory to make the museum symmetrical but after this being the “Last Major Free Update,“ I don’t see that happening
No cafe job shown but I hope we do get one
Hopefully NPCs that show up are on a constant schedule for when they show up at the cafe (not daily but like weekly or even bi-weekly)
Glad you can invite friends and amiibo but i don't have any :(
Kapp’n
No Kapp’n family in sight
1000 nook miles!!!!!????? (that kind of expensive...)
Vines are interesting !! and pretty.
Glad for new fauna.
Different times and seasons for the new mystery islands are exciting but I hope they’re going to be mini games!
Harv
Hariiiiiiiettttt
Reese and Cyrus are back !!!!
Katrina !!!!
Tortimer!!!!
I wish you can only get these new hair styles from Harriett
Happy to see some sort of main street come back to animal crossing
We got exercising back from Population Growing!!
Motions controls too!! it sound fun!!!!!
Ordinances - i wasn't really missing them but i’m glad they're back for those who wanted them
More customization and expansion always welcomed
Cooking DIYs/Veggies
Cooking finally being implemented into the game
Love the new crops tho
But nowhere to put them, i need to terraform again :(
Woah the foods!! And you can make flour and sugar
I’m glad that this is going to be before Harvest festival
Design and Customization
Accent walls, oooohhh
Glad to see things from HHD being implemented, nice
Custom fencing -- white fencing that everyone wanted
Everyone can make there white fence suburbia now!
New reactions !! hopefully Shrunk Funk Shuffle is in there.
Camera Updates: Reactions from characters that are in the photo are cute!
Custom designs we can wear, i feel like we should have been there this whole time?
It seems like in other games the ability to wear/decorate with custom designs was always there
Again, there should have been hairstyles exclusive to harriet just so we have something to go back to her for
New fencing! they look sooo cool! and more bridges and ramps!
External storage shed, glad it’s there now
Should have been implemented with the first storage expansion.. but super convenient
ADB - Super convenient
New K.K. singles dropped and cute music box(es)
The ladder set up kit is really neat!!
I hope there’s no limit to how many ladders you can have
I love that it’s less bulky than the staircases/ramps
Squeezing into tight spaces is sick - Didn’t HHD have this feature?
House visits - They’re back!!
Finally!
and new villagers! woahh
Gyroids
Watering fragments is super cool
Gyroids, my beloved
The new designs are super cute
Love that you can customize
Hopefully Brewster can store them this time
What I wanted but didn’t see
No Nook Shop updates
No Celeste observatory
No bananas in sight or the other tropical fruit
No returning furniture sets
Last free update *distress emote*
But we take away everything that was already set up in previous games what exactly is new to ACNH?
All this to say Nintendo added what should have been there from day a year and a half later. I really don't want to hear people say “Oh they finally listen to us!!” because they started working on ACNH close after the release of New Leaf so they pretty much had this all planned out but for what? Why release (what is now considered) base game updates almost 2 years later?
also i change my mind about being happy about HHP being 25, it should have been like the welcome amiibo update because these “free updates“ should have been in the game since day 1
Last week I found out that I can transfer animal crossing screenshots from my Switch to my pic. I feel like a dummy for not knowing about this sooner! And in the span of 3 days I managed to transfer over 900 pics. Woah.
