Animal Crossing: New Horizons to get swimming in new July update



Summer is here, and what better way to celebrate than by bringing back swimming to Animal Crossing? The latest update for New Horizons has revealed that the swimming feature, first introduced in New Leaf, will be coming soon in a new free update. The free patch will be available to download on July 3rd, adding in catchable sea creatures, diving, scallops that you can trade to Pascal for DIY furniture recipes for a new Mermaid set, a pirated-themed Gulliver who will offer you new rewards for helping him out, and more. An additional update is also planned for August, with more free content planned.

BotW has one DLC you can buy...
"packed with extra shit you can buy".

One thing... "packed"

Hmmm... packed like a can of one sardine (singular)... hmmm... new saying so we rewrite the meaning of packed.

but the DLC wouldn’t have fit in the cart
I have no problem with added features I have problems with Physical releases being half a$$ed I’m buying Physical to save space not to have download bug fixes that equal the cart size :angry: release Physical when the games are ready

also new fans are being tricked into thinking it’s something new for Animal Crossing:rolleyes: Nintendo at it’s best

The new strategy of scummy game devs

1. Release unfinished game
2. Release rest of the game under gise of "free DLC"
Do you work for them and have all the information of what the game was supposed to have by release date?

These can be free updates to keep the game going. Rocket League is about to be 5 years old, and there are still updates going. So is that game still unfinished? Hell, Runescape is almost 20 years old and still has updates, is that game unfinished? Several versions of Windows have updates, are they unfinished? Consoles, bluray players, TV's, so many electronic items have updates. Are they all unfinished? Are we just stuck in a constant state of an unfinished perpetual world?

Just trying to understand. If you believe everything there is, indeed, unfinished, that's fine. I just want to make sure.

You know, I'm only complaining that saying packed is an exaggeration.

I know this isn't entirely related to the topic, but why does there seem to be such animosity towards Nintendo here? Every time there's a Nintendo-related news thread, there seems to be constant Nintendo bashing.
Because all nintendo has put out since Pokemon SS launched are ports (xenoblade being egregiously bad), half finished games that will take years to be finished, or just straight up bad games (pokemon unite, origami king).

I mean a fucking pandemic happened. You can't blame Nintendo for an almost empty year.

More on topic, I kinda hope the Scallops aren't as rare as they were in New Leaf, since it was such a pain in the ass to find more than one a day, and I always wanted the stuff from Pascal so I kept giving away the scallop
It's just classic GBAtemp and tempers being overly toxic. You can't enter one thread without seeing one person complaining, its the first rule of gbatemp. you could hand some of the people here free food and they'll still complain

Egregiously bad how?

It looks shitty. Worse than the wii sometimes in handheld. People like you are the reason why it looks shitty because they buy the shit without a second thought.




More on topic...

The game has less stores than new leaf and more main npcs only appear in certain times.
The game has less collectibles and species than new leaf.
The game has less content in general so that players wouldn't access it all by time traveling.(While the directors admit they don't consider it cheating.)
The game's UI makes things take longer than they should and pads the game out.
The game has no way to back up your save so that the animal crossing esports teams wont suffer.

Where's May Day in NL? CF/LGTTC? WW? Original?
A joke of new content, literally a single maze that will repeat for years to come (in theory), where you just get to meet Rover. It's nostalgic pampering at its best since Rover was MIA.

Yeah, I live in Brazil and found it pretty off-putting lol. I can't wait for the winter update in December, when it is summer over here.

We literally paid 60 bucks for an incomplete game, every content update since day 1 was Nintendo re-implementing old features.
There is no comparison between AC:NH, even in its launch state, and games that are TRULY incomplete, such as anything in Steam Early Access. The fact that New Leaf had an overabundance of content and features doesn't change that, it just means people are used to being completely spoiled and now aren't happy about being just kinda spoiled while updates are rolled out.
