Animal Crossing Direct - October 15th (OP now includes a summary of announcements)
- Thread starter Serebii
- Start date
No, it was a makeshift school. LOL, Just a bunch of school desk lineup outside.
Same with the hospital.
Is the DLC really not permanent if you get the Online Expansion? Best to get it standalone if that's the case, imagine columns and lighting just getting locked after cancelling Online like we're in some sort of EA Sims game.
i dunno about some of these changes
LOL. It should be Isabelle.
Probably very hard to switch back to the slower pace, but if that's how you've always played it... It's fine.
I literally joked to my SO before the direct that they were going to add a K.K. version of that Ankha porn song and...
Yep, some of them were previously exclusive to the Japanese N64 & Gamecube games. (Chabwick, Frett, Azalea, and Roswell.)

I wonder if Cyrus and Reese can also customize items like the surfboard which is a special summer item but is locked to one style on your island and never changes. I hate that I only have the ugly black and green version and can't customize it to the other styles.
So, if I wanted to buy the DLC individually (not part of the Online membership), I wonder do I need to purchase it twice? My wife and I share the Switch and we'd both want access to it. Or if I purchase it, since we share the cartridge, would that share the DLC?
So the main update generally brings your main island in line with what was available in the big New Leaf update, while all the best new real stuff is tucked away in the paid DLC.
A shame that there's still practically nothing to do in multiplayer, no voice chat, and the animal villagers are all still zombified, so outside of letting other people visit instances of the villager vacation homes you've designed, the game is still an empty, isolated shell.

Gullivarr doesn't get a card?
Weird
itd be great if all the island specific variants could be customized. we will see...

That makes my list redundant. The dream of Filly and Holden is dead. (And Gullivarr did get screwed over.)
With each Series 5 pack of 6 cards including just one NPC (SP) card this is gonna be a bloodbath, and that's before we get into the whole scalpers market that has taken hold during the pandemic. 24 of the new Series 5 cards are SP cards, Nintendo what the hell are you doing?
Did they anything about expanding the bug, fish, and fossil counts?
Not super into the home creation and decorating stuff

I don't mean to be rude but for us that can't read the whole thread can the OP update the OP with the details or summary. That would be really helpful, thanks!
Yeah I asked the same question in the other thread and its written in the fine print that it's not permanent if you got it free from the Online Expansion. I"m getting it standalone too.
Right. It's seemingly got as much content as Happy Home Designer, which cost $40 or whatever.
+ Purchasing the DLC let's you use the new Happy Home room customization options (except for the expansion options, because I guess that's why you pay Nook for a bigger house) in your own house back in your island.

Yeah it's Mario Maker all over again. Unfortunate, I don't think Nintendo has much interest in adopting live-service models.
wonder if the new neighbors will be card exclusive or if they'll just throw them in the random pile with the others
I don't think they really mentioned
I don't think they really mentioned
It would be but that is going to really kill the trading/selling community online.
they showed a few of them casually at the end of the 2.0 details, and there's no amiibo showcase this time, so it seems like they'll just be rolled into the game
i was hoping the crossovers would return but i suppose that's not happening for the same reason
The Hello Kitty neighbors aren't in the "normal" pile
I'm super disappointed I won't have Epona as a neighbor, but Cephalobot makes it a little better. Except he's probably a jock, and NH Jock neighbors are awful
i figure the sanrio stuff is an exception because there's probably some licensing involved, but that's true too
guess we'll have to wait and see, but the lack of fanfare beyond including new ones gives me some hope
Yea, they never really mentioned the new neighbors, they're just in the video as normal neighbors and for people who paid attention to the cards
So I guess there's still a chance the Nintendo ones return
Darn, I was hoping they would at least keep the window open for another DLC. :( I wouldn't have minded paying for, say, a Nook store expansion DLC that was just a bunch of new furniture items.
I knew they would be going the DLC route, but the free update is full of stuff too - I'm quite surprised at the amount of content there is.
Honestly can't wait for november 5, but I need to make room for my vegetables !
Animal crossing streamers will go nuts - they announced pretty much everything people wanted. Even the froggy chair.

I'd be really disappointed if there's no more Nook Cranny update, it's like the only thing that I kept looking after we learned about the datamine. It would also mean no Gracie :(
Shopping is like my favourite activity in Animal Crossing games, and a small shop really hurts, haha.

I just wonder (as I'm sure others have already discussed but thread is long) if it makes more sense to just buy the DLC at $25 or get it with the NSO upgrade.
I don't even care about the old games much (I will subscribe for a bit to play Paper Mario) but not permanently. The structure they are releasing just makes me wonder if Nintendo will be releasing "free" DLC for other games throughout the year as an incentive to stay signed up for the upgraded NSO. In which case, long term it may be cheaper to stay in the expanded NSO rather than buy DLC separately for various titles.

Correct. If you don't plan to have the Expansion forever, but want to retain access to the DLC, you should probably just buy it outright (and consider skipping the overpriced Expansion).
The DLC is tied to your Nintendo Account, not your Switch. If you and your wife both use the same Nintendo Account, you're all set. If not, then make sure your Switch is set to be the primary console on your Nintendo Account, and you will be able to share the DLC.
Buy the DLC outright. Upgrade to the Expansion for the last month of your sub to play Paper Mario, then revert to the standard sub going forward.
I expect that Nintendo will add absolutely nothing to the Expansion. I hope to be wrong but I'm setting my expectations very low. What we have today from the base NSO subscription is not much different from what we had on day one; that is the precedent.
Unfortunately, no.
I agree that would have been really cool if they added more varieties to hunt for for long-time players who have a 100% critterpedia for awhile now. They did add gyroids though which you dig up like fossils so there's that, at least.
Do we have any idea on how the DLC via NSO will work if you have multiple users for your town but only one has an NSO XP membership? Will the other users without NSO XP get access to the dlc? Will they get locked out like they get locked out of online features?
Seems like this could be another way that New Horizon's requirement for putting all users into one save file like no other game on the Switch has made things weirdly complicated
