Animal Crossing NH Summer Update Part 1 Coming 7/3
- Thread starter totofogo
- Start date
these updates are nice, but are they ever going to add actual gameplay improvements? Stackable crafting? better item management? Better conversation system that doesn't require so many confirmations just to visit an island? An actual point to Isabelle? Announce the weather or daily visitors or let me have the option to get rid of her.
I agree. It's nice and all but like you said, it's a returning feature. I know it's something that'll keep me entertained for a few days before I get bored again. My fingers are crossed for something more substantial soon 😬
What is more substantial than a whole new gameplay feature (regardless of whether it was in a previous game or not)? What the fuck are you people expecting?
Hopefully not rude to ask, anyone from Southern hemisphere want to be my friend( im in north) ? pm me
As expected, swimming, diving and sea food !
Was hoping for some cool fireworks events for July but looks like it'll come in August ^^
It's cool to clearly know when the next one will be. We all guessed that this one would be in late June/early July, but it's nice to know exactly when to look forward to the next.

Pretty sure you could get a wetsuit like 3-5 days into New Leaf. You needed access to the island to buy one
Holidays please. If this video is anything to go by there won't be any holidays or special events for another 6 weeks and New Horizons has already had a meager set of holiday events. Doesn't seem like a big ask considering the last update introduced 4 holiday/seasonal events.
Drip feed me that 3DS content. Would've also been a good time to add Kapp'n Island and Tortimer minigames which was how the wetsuit was unlocked originally.
Also the fireworks show takes place on Sundays in August in New Leaf, so they should hopefully be in the next update.
(The lack of gyroids continues to make me sad)

What noteworthy global holiday exists in July?
Also we're gonna have bug off this Saturday, and then again in July, as well as the summer fishing tourney in July as well.
Was Museum Appreciation & Wedding Season necesarily noteworthy? I'm suyre they could either make something up or expand on some small thing if they really wanted.
It's not really weird, as they steer away from regional events. The 4th of July is only an important day to the US.
July: Swimming, sea creatures, Pascal/mermaid furniture, Gulliver2.0/pirate furniture(??)
August: Fireworks
Late September/early Oct: Halloween event, Thanksgiving event, + maybe vegetables & cooking?
Late Nov/early December: Present Day event
Late January/early Feb: Carnivale
That'd be my guess for what timeframe we're looking at for future updates.
My guess is that Luna/dreams will come in August, with cooking/vegetables in Sept/Oct, and Gyroids/Cafe in Nov/Dec, because it seems like they're adding 1 "big" feature per patch (art, sea creatures) in addition to whatever events are needed.
Also, wondering if the August update will bring back stuff like the sparklers.

Well, it'd be weird to have a celebration about North America when the game doesn't even have "christmas" to keep them general for everyone.
That said, if they end up happening in August that's probably because of Hanabi.
I liked having different items during the holidays depending on the country, though. I wonder if New Year's 12 grapes will be back. Can't wait for Isabelle telling me to be careful not to choke with them.
I mean, the museum day, just like Mayday, was some small thing. I'm sure Wedding Season was meant to be the 'big' summer event, much like Easter was the 'big' spring event and, I assume, Halloween and Christmas are gonna be the 'big' fall and winter events.
I think having it more global/international is better. Apparently there was whole lines of region-exclusive items in NL that the other regions never ever could get, and that's pretty awful.
Why would they add fireworks for July 4th, when that day means nothing to 90% of their audience?
You gotta remember this update was probably largely handled during the work-from-home period in Japan. August's one too, since a month is not a huge amount of time between updates. I imagine localization/testing is also affected by the situation. Plans may have been changed/reduced to avoid delays.
Toy day is happening. So, yes, they will.
Yall only play Wild World or what lol.
90% lol. It's been in every game except the one I with 0 holidays.
They're more than capable of coming up with stuff. They already skipped over a bunch of holidays from previous titles which could have been used. Just having a Tortimer photography event or something along those lines would have been fine. Just anything really to flesh it out. I miss some of the goofy little things like Yay Day
IDK, nowadays it's much easier to trade for items. It felt exciting to know that there were some rare items out there. It did make me want to find some people from Japan to trade, even if I never got around it because the 3ds was clunky for that.
And if they had a tortimer photography event, you'd still have people bitching about this update not being substantial enough because it's not a huge event that gives you 500 new items and 30 minigames.
Maybe in the NA version. It's never been part of the European or Japanese versions. And since they don't do regional differing events anymore (as I told you), it makes sense to not celebrate a day in game that is only of historical relevance to the US.
I wonder if they'll specifically make sure that no critters were missed in the time when swimming didn't exist
it'd be annoying to have a critter be missing from the museum just because this feature too a few months to get, requiring me to wait until next year to finish my aquarium (since iirc you can finish it in December in the western hemisphere)

4th of July is obviously just an American thing though.
Summer festivals in Japan are in August.
At least in the spanish versions from WW and onwards it was always in August, but yeah, I checked and it was the 4th of July in the GC game.
With Toy Day I meant to say that even when they celebrate christmas they try to keep it as a random celebration in that world not related to our real world.
So what about people who are in the southern hemisphere (where it's currently winter). Are they just fucked?
You can't please anyone. Getting something would have been better than nothing and I just would have liked to have seen something, because the game needs it pretty badly.
I wouldn't mind some of Wild World's random non-descript holidays returning. They'd help fill in months where there aren't really any convenient global holidays to use
But we'll get those sweet winter creatures in the deep see.
The Flower Fest would even go nicely with the fencing feature.
Oh dear no more things to do.
Diving to collect some creatures seem fun, and more things are always better. Sorry if it has already been said, but are the deep sea creatures like the bug/fish? I mean, do they change each month/season?

No, the update is obviously for anyone lol the Switch won't check if you're in Southern or Northern hemisphere to see if it can download the update or not ?
You'll just swim in a frozen ocean !
I mean as said, over these 6 weeks till August we'll have 2 Bug Offs and one fishing tourney, plus of course the remnant of the wedding season. Plus it's probable we'll get some seasonal store items as well, like the father's day mug or something. I think this new gameplay feature that introduces a whole new set of critters (we don't even know how many), plus the massive amount of new bugs that will start spawning in July (it's like 20!) should be plenty enough to keep one occupied unless you speedrun through all the content. And if you do that, complaining about content drought seems disingenuous.
I wonder.
Gyroids is 100% going to be tied with Brewster and the Café. Wonder if it'll be there. Seems like it'll focus on some hana-bi festivals, maybe it's just an update about events ?
Feels weird that it's split in 2 parts, covid situation probably forced them to split it this way. I wouldn't expect any new substencial gameplay elements in the part 2, just new events.
Why wouldn't it? Southern Hemisphere typically has year round warmer weather. Winter is only June-Sept.
They commented that covid actually impacted their dev process for Animal Crossing update. Seems like it's the reason why the summer update is split in 2 parts. What would you prefer ? Wait for August to have swimming + the summer events, or just have the swimming now, and the events later ?
I mean it's ok to want more, we all want more, but so many times on Nintendo threads it seem like people forget that a huge pandemic fucked the whole 2020 schedule for Nintendo.
