Animal Crossing: New Horizons gets free "nature and art" update

Xzi · Apr 21, 2020

And everybody here was so convinced it was gonna be paid DLC, lol. Anyway, great update on top of the SMM2 one. Ninty on a quarantine roll!

Now I'm just... waiting on that cafe papa ninten...

..honestly that paid dlc is going to come one day, but I just wonder what is it going to be about

Looks like Nintendo is going all-out with Animal Crossing! The bushes look awesome and the events look pretty sweet too.

I hope there are others ways of obtaining art instead of just buying them though, as that seems a bit tedious

Awesome! I wonder if the events are going to require legit bcats to run on offline devices (like bunny day) or if they'll be baked into the calendar?

That's cute, I hope they keep up with stuff like this because it really helps keep the game interesting on a day-to-day basis.

I'm betting bcat for anything event related.

Are you referring to something like this to manage those events? https://github.com/Random06457/BCAT-Manager
I've never heard of BCAT's but that seems promising

I was honestly thinking this game was released unfinished, but it appears as though they are just spacing out completed content to keep people interested and talking about the game to keep long term sales up. Pretty smart thinking.

It's very tedious. Never bothered with the art gallery in any Animal Crossing game. The art ended up being fake 99% of the time anyway, so just used it as house decorations without ever appraising it.

So is this coming in the form of a normal update or is it actually being treated like dlc?

tbh I feel like it's slightly incomplete too but I guess at least they got a competent initial version out the door and there not making you pay for the rest of the game at least.
probably a much larger work load compared to the previous sequals given the fact that this is the first time it's all been made with an hd presentation in mind

Much as I like the game, it felt really lacking in a lot of places, despite all the new stuff. Kinda annoyed we have to wait for piecemeal updates, but I guess it means we got the game earlier than if they'd delayed it to fit everything in. Still feels a bit unsatisfying, either way.

This or something that can tap into device saves (JKSV) is what someone who has received the BCAT legitimately over the internet would need to use to then, "distribute" it to those of use who cannot/should not connect their devices to the internet. Typically the actual data of the update is distributed as a normal title update and the "access" to that data is unlocked by pushing a BCAT via the in-game environment afaik. It can be done (as seen w/ the Bunny Day event) but it's just a matter of some kind folks doing the legwork.

Also on cfw, using emunand with a clean sys. There is a way to "inject" the event bcat files to give you access to the "timed" events. So long as you keep up w/ the regular title updates for the game it shouldn't be an issue! There are plenty of threads here about how to do it and where to get the bcat.

I hope the shrubbery are not too expensive.

What about the speculated diving? Not a thing?
