Animal Crossing: New Horizons gets Festivale update, Sanrio and Mario collaborations coming in March

are they working on a paid DLC in parallel?
Because this update does not add something we've never seen before

 

Do these “Sanrio” characters include Retsuko? Please? I didn’t know I needed Aggretsuko x Animal Crossing!

 

Alright, let's settle this here....

This event actually looks kinda cool and cute...

 

Hope they don't screw up like Bunny day and make the whole thing last almost half a month.

That being said, if I play Animal Crossing again it will probably be the 3DS game. Or maybe Animal Crossing e+ English translation.

 

I really shouldn't have played Stardew Valley before playing this game.

It just feels so empty - there's nothing to do...

 

But even irl you have actual goals that go beyond building stuff.

I think that's where this game fails.

 

it makes me sad that the biggest animal crossing game we've had yet started off super good with big updates, and now it's just table scraps worth of content that really should've been in the game already

 

Any update amounts to primarily more balloon farming for DIY recipes with some small holiday events tacked on if you're lucky.

 

I'd say only the first two are even real goals though. The rest are just subjective.

 

Despite the limitations my favourite is still the Gamecube game. Not only it has the best soundtrack but for ages it was the one that let you have at least 15 villagers, had more holidays and events and of course the Nes games. The DS game was smaller and it showed but the online content, visiting other people towns and so on made for it.

The rest? Grass degradation, starting with just a tent and other stuff turned me away from them.

Maybe I would really be into the Switch game if I had bought it but... wow they really screwed up with Bunny Day and is still not a single day, they just reduced the number of eggs you get in the two freaking weeks leading to it.

"Just patch it later" is not something I can accept on a Nintendo game and more so one that became one of the Switch best selling games.

 

I always wonder why people say it sucks, that updates like this didn't come with the game out of the box. I mean, without time traveling you aren't able to access these time based events earlier than their release anyway.

 

Because games nowadays cost more money that just a year ago and people hates having to add downloable updates in a console that has so little space as the Switch.

 

That makes no sense. I don't know about the money argument, since I only played AC:NH, but if all that stuff was included in the game from the get go, it's size would also be bigger. You'd still have to download the same amount.

 

im guessing this is their sorry for them bringing sm3das off shelves lol
