Animal Crossing Direct - October 15th (OP now includes a summary of announcements)
- Thread starter Serebii
- Start date
I wonder if gyroids were completely redone to where there's no longer a series and its just one for each but more varieties. I noticed all the ones showcased fit on tables.
Damn. ACNH going out with a bang with all of these features and the DLC releasing all at once. Well played Nintendo.
I really love the new gyroid designs. Their small size lets them fit in with a whole lot more room arrangements. Like they're fun little toys or collectibles. Makes me want to actually collect them all.

Finally got to watch this, it looks really good.
At least sleek furniture is confirmed returning, but it's too late to fix Eugine's awful house. I guess the DLC can be used to fix it..
Do we have a list of characters for the new Amiibo card pack yet? I'm a little confused seeing people sad some characters still didn't get in, but the video just seemed to show a few off, not the whole set right?

These are all the brand new, and newly returning characters… (Plus Niko and Wardell)
The rest of the cards are all special NPCs, as confirmed on the Japanese website. We still don't know if the crossover villagers from non-AC amiibos will also be added.
Damn that sucks, I thought series 5 would at least be 100 cards like the other series. I wanted Meow back.These are all the brand new, and newly returning characters… (Plus Niko and Wardell)

At least Cephalobot and Shino look alright.
This was amazing! I'm so excited for November. I would love for a small update on the design system so we can design clothes with like double layers (like an open jacket or an open hoodie).
Question, does the no more updates paid or free means that we aren't even going to get small updates like "5 new hairstyles" "5 new emotes", etc.? Like it's all done? Because in the direct it said no more MAYOR updates so i wonder if they are still going to add stuff just in a smaller scale.

I was hoping for Meow too, among others.
Looking at them all together, and including the initial eight new villagers from the base release, it's only been one new/returning animal from each species, but there's no new Chicken, Duck, Pig, Frog, Hippo, Cow, Bull, Lion, Tiger, Gorilla, or Kangaroo. They could have at least introduced one from every available species.
I wouldn't count on anything that big since they would probably have outright announced it but there is bound to be plenty of stuff we didn't see in the Direct.
Holding out hope they let us move resident services and just didn't announce it in the trailer, else I'm dropping a nuke on my island.
Quick search about datamine from last year and I found this : https://animalcrossingworld.com/202...xciting-features-returning-characters-coming/
So yeah Museum Shop (rooms where you put various stuff like New Leaf) and Cranny upgrades where definitely planned, so once again I'm crossing fingers it's indeed happening in this update and wanted to keep the surprise.
It even got cooking and gyroids right.

Im in the same position, it's right in front of my airport. But I'm conflicted, I don't wanna nuke my island. ;_;
Wasn't it confirmed we won't get more large updates for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and only getting small updates? Those you listed sound like big updates.
Yeah, but this stuff is presumable what was worked on for this Nov 5 update.
Notice how everything else in the article already came or will be with the upcoming update, so maybe (hopefully) they purposely hided this stuff in the Direct.
So I'll stay optimistic for now.
It's up for debate what they mean by major update. Given that this is 2.0, they could think of this as the only major update so far, and we could still get 2.1 or 2.2 with more Nintendo items/villagers and other minor upgrades. Though obviously it's best to not get your hopes up for anything beyond this update.
I haven't played since last summer, so I think a lot of the nuances and/or importance of some of these additions and changes were lost on me. The DLC looks great though. That's kinda what I wish I could do on my own island without having to go through all the busywork/maintenance.
Yeah, I hope this stuff is still in and they just didn't cover it. It's not like they showed literally everything, after all, at minimum there's going to be meals we didn't see and probably a few crops and whatever else. I'd be sad if the store never gets any "fancier" than the sort of cheapish general store it is now.
I just rewatched with my roommates, including the biggest AC fan I know IRL. We're all so dang stoked.
Look at how well the regular game did and they're still cutting it short
The return of Gyroids is such a monkey's paw situation. All the big and tall and weird Gyroids are dead, replaced by smaller, twee ones. I get it; they're easier to fit into a room now and better suit the general handmade aesthetic in NH. But... it's sad.
How is the first time I've ever heard of BUD
this is what might finally get me to come back to my island

If something is purchased on a Nintendo Switch console, any user on that console can access the content. Why would this be any different? That said, if one account has access to the DLC through the NSO expansion pack rather than purchasing it and another account on the console doesn't have the sub, I expect they would not be able to access the archipelago. So if you're getting it through NSO, you should probably have every island resident on the same family plan.
Very hyped, i think have successfully brought me back in for another 50-100 hours or so. Though, they just really need to turn this into ACaaS. Keep the updates coming.
I just started a new island and my wife just got back into her island after she put in 300ish hours. She's insanely stoked. Seems like a great update.
I can't believe they're adding all this for free but didn't touch the one thing I thought was a given in bulk crafting.
Honestly, having to tediously craft things like bait one at a time was the entire reason I stopped playing and uninstalled the game, and it's lack of inclusion here is probably why I won't bother reinstalling.
I get that COVID probably impacted the development of this update but a year and a half without any major gameplay updates was a long stretch to go. I feel like some of these features would have been better to piecemeal out over the last 18 months so there was SOMETHING keeping players like me interested.

From my experience, the dlc is tied to one console, but it doesn't have to be the primary one.
I'm more wondering if I need to switch to a family plan if my wife wants to play the paid DLC, because I was going to get it through the expansion pack. We play on the same switch, but since we aren't on a family plan, would my wife be able to play?
The cost difference is negligible to me between expansion pack for single + purchasing DLC and just upgrading to a family plan for two. Maybe I'll just wait and see; it can't be that hard to convert from single to family

I'm buying it outright, no way in hell am I wasting my money when I already hate the normal NSO
Also… the way the DLC does the landscaping etc with a. Birds eye view
… that isn't gonna work on your own island, is it?

Everything looks amazing, a much bigger expansion than i even imagined, just so many things. I was hoping for QoL updates but they didn't mention those (other than outside storage access i guess?). They're adding so much stuff that umm... i hope they've optimized the game because even with the version we've had since day 1 my island lags in certain areas, and there's pop in too yikes. Fingers crossed.
Probably not. Probably only works there because you're working in a limited space.
Not a chance. The resort yards are basically just another room, adding such a feature to the island would require a lot of extra work and would make the game's performance issues much more problematic
Just got a Switch this week and have been hooked catching up on Mario Odyssey and BotW. This is my first Nintendo console since the Wii and boy am I glad to be back.
That said, Animal Crossing has been really calling me with all the upcoming holidays! Should I just wait for these final updates to drop before jumping in fresh or is the current game solid enough to jump into now?

A lot of cool stuff here, but frustrating that more of this wasn't compartmentalized into smaller updates and doled out over the last months and months and months.
Instead a mega update and likely no more.
For the free DLC, the food stuff is the most notable addition, but sadly a lot of the rest feels like the same sort of thing that we've had from previous games, but just re-arranged in a different context.
I'd love to see Nintendo treat this more as a platform with constant updates, but they simply do not seem interested.

I really hope stuff like this is in the patch as surprise and they just didn't cover it, like other said.
They also only slightly teased and didn't cover at all that you can unlock the Happy Home Design mechanics for your neighbors on your island and how that works.
But if the datamined things aren't here as surprise then they're definitely scrapped, cause besides small bugfix patches, this is basically it and content support basically ends November 5th.
A lot of the content outlined in the 2.0 update is stuff you likely won't be bothering with if you're just starting out. It takes at least a week, and realistically longer than that for your island to get fully "going". There are a lot of things to sort out in the early game. You'd definitely be able to jump in right now and wouldn't be starved for content. Up to you really.
Start now, you will need months already to catch up with everything and expand and learn and unlock everything (if you're not changing your dates and times), so go for it if you want to have at least a house and a real shop before the DLC and patch comes out. 😅😅😅
