Animal Crossing NH Summer Update Part 1 Coming 7/3
- Thread starter totofogo
- Start date
Movement is far too slow damn. Caught about 8 creatures this morning after 2 full inventories and got no new ones on my 2nd, so I'm gonna wait till 4pm to have another shot at it and clean up the night creatures. Nice to have a reason to return to the game, but it's still not a ton of content. At least unlike other updates we'll be getting more new creatures every month so the update isn't just one and done.
They really do need to change the appearance rate for villagers and move some into shops though. This once random once a week thing is nonsense. Redd is the only one that really matters after his first appearance and he almost never shows so working on the art gallery isn't even something most people can consider.

No not really. This new update with sea creatures is the only real long-term change we've had since launch if I'm remembering correctly, and even then it's not a ton of content. Everything else was just a new merchant in the random cycle selling a few items or one and done events. Quite disappointing considering.
Eh, not really besides new July catches and this summer update. Might as well check it out.
You missed the wedding-themed items for June, though.
In case anyone else has this problem, I was able to get it to load up by closing the game and restarting my Switch (restarting the game alone didn't fix it).
Thanks y'all. I may check out the update coming soon but it's a bummer no new shops/cafe/permanent buildings have been added! I thought we would be getting regular additions like this due to the things missing that previous games had. Still a fun game but I had run out of a lot of stuff to do after 350 hours.
I can't believe I played this much. Timing with COVID lockdown here in US meant I was home 24/7 so I played the hell out of this - hours a day lol
Updated and i dont see the wet suit in the glass cabinet? I ordered a wet suit from nook shopping instead.
Huh I restarted my console and started the game and its here now.

Put on a wetsuit, and then press a when you're near the water. You've got to keep pressing A to swim faster, and Y to go underwater.
You'll see bubbles coming up from the bottom, those are the critters.
Some of them swim away from you.
Giant isopod? "Awesome."
Pillbug (isopods that live on land but are still crustaceans and breathe with gills)? "Ew no!"
blather's was having a transcendent moment as i gave him a sea slug. It is seriously the longest I have ever seen him talk about anything, he loves this thing.
earlier that day i gave him a beetle and he just dragged it for 3 text boxes
I wonder how many Pearls pascal will give once he runs out of recipes (assuming that's how his trades work). I've fished about 30 critters out of the deep but only 1 pearl, so they're pretty rare.
Definitely a long term project, it seems.
Love the swimming, hate that my entire island now has a fucking giant net around its circumference.
I bet DAL lobbied for it, so you have no choice but to use their services. Turns out those lovable dodos are actually ruthless businessbirds of the shadiest caliber.
Not even a single masculine Mermaid theme item... :/Found on Reddit, I think these are legit based on the mermaid items I've seen.
I was thinking of the word Parasol
Are they the same?
Whatever, still weird this game don't have any
I think the game would not be able to handle furniture with a slim base and a wide top like a beach umbrella. They may put one on a table, maybe? But I'm not sure how it would work standalone. You probably wouldn't be able to go under it, which defeats the purpose.
Otter shows up once per day, when you find a scallop by diving.
Pirate Gulliver seems to be a normal visitor like Leif, regular Gulliver and such, so you might have to wait a bit before you meet him.
3 inventory-filling diving sessions later, still never seen a pearl. Do they just show up with bubbles like a critter?
Also this diving suit really highlights what's wrong with the breakable tools. It is just so relaxing, swimming around, catching stuff, taking my time. It really made it sink in just how many fish and bugs I skip over because I don't want to break my rod/net :(
Diving is actively making me dislike the fishing/bug catching. I want my unbreakable New Leaf fishing rod back :( Fishing was the best in previous games...

Just treat it like a leaf pile where you can walk in and through it. If the pole is slender enough nobody will care that you're really just clipping through it.
So are we thinking early or late August for the next update? I'm hoping for early, because it doesn't feel like they added as much as I was expecting here...I know it's what they advertised in the trailer, but I was kind of hoping they were just hiding stuff.
Pascal is still one of the best NPC but why did they give him a high pitch voice in this ?! I can't wait for Brewster with a peppy voice 😋
Also it made me realize he is only the second NPC introduced in Wild World to make the jump to NH. That is sad since I think WW had the best batch of newcomers (and of course the first one introduced was Celeste aka the cute one...I want my creeps in AC damnit)

I've played New Leaf and the original AC a bit since New Horizons came and the fishing feels best in this game. Easily. The animation, the sounds, the rumble all make it feel tighter and more responsive. It's not even close for me. I've said it before, but the breakable tools are just something else for me to do. And with customization it's rare that one breaks on me (well not the axes). I just treat it like maintenance and keep a few DIY benches around the island. And with the nook miles there's a chance I will get rewarded for either customizing a tool or crafting a new one or even buying a new one from Nook's. So it scratches another itch.
I know not everyone agrees, which is fine, but I like the current system so I selfishly hope they keep it going. Although I think it would good if instead of the tool disappearing when it breaks it just becomes a broken tool that can be fixed. This would require less resources for the player and save a little time as you would not need to craft the flimsy version first.
Hopefully this isn't derailing too much.
But I completely agree that the fishing is improved, along with almost everything, in New Horizons. It's a mental thing, I guess. My customisation kits are on one side of the island, if I'm on the other side I find I tend to sparingly use my tools. Kinda like the recent Zelda game, my tools exploding - even if it's a minor inconvenience - feels like punishment and just makes me avoid using them.
Repeatedly customising tools or building new ones doesn't really add anything to the game at all, it's just busy work.
Plus, my beloved Fish fishing rod looks best light blue, I have to keep customising it to other colours to keep it alive, or else I might be stuck with the... ugh... colourful fishing rod that's always on sale when mine breaks.
So basically the Pirate Gulliver is Nintendo's workaround to how normal Gulliver would show up in your island waaaaaay less frequently after the Earth Day update?
You get them in 2 places.
You can order a delivery of one from the Nook machine (which will arrive next day), or if you need one right away they're sold in the tool cabinet of the Nookling shop (near the umbrellas).
You can get wet suits from Nook's Cranny and the Nook terminal machine/phone app.
It works with trees. Takes up 1x1 space but looks bigger at top.
Yeah they show up normally. I found 2 in about 5 sessions, both in the afternoon if that matters.
I'm in the Southern Hemisphere and so far I've caught:
All Times: Seaweed, Scallop, acorn barnacle, pearl oyster, oyster, sea anemone, sea cucumber, sea slug, sea star, whelk.
Afternoon: Octopus, mantis shrimp (also found at night),
Night: Dungeness crab, snow crab, Venus' flower basket, sea pig, abalone.

I've heard of multiple people getting real or fake art from villagers for a while now. It's a coincidence. Congrats on the art!
