Can I just say, I was super surprised (and super stoked) that Nintendo decided to update AC:NL. The Welcome Amiibo update came during a time where I had just been off Animal Crossing for about four months, and it was just the thing I needed to get me excited for my town again.
In spite of all the negative criticism, I also really enjoyed HHD. It was a totally different vibe to AC:NL, which is really good, in my opinion, because I thought it was practically perfect, and didn't see how they could have possibly made it any better. I think a follow on game to AC:NL would have been lame. But they totally surprised me! Suddenly I could have every villager I'd ever wanted (even if the interactions were minimal), I could control what went into their houses, there was heaps of new furniture and items, you could put a vase in the middle of a table, you didn't have to drag your furniture back and forth, customisation is totally free, you can literally duplicate 50 rare items if you want and it costs you nothing and you're not cheating the game, you (kind of) still get that vibe of creating a town... I could literally go on forever.
It was really disappointing for me going back to AC:NL and not having all those items, and still having to drag my furniture around like a peasant. So when the WA update came out, it was the perfect combination of HHD and AC:NL... almost.
I wish you could still put items in half spaces and choose where villager houses go (seriously, plot resetting is my arch nemesis). HHD was a good change from AC:NL, but I definitely got bored of it way quicker. However, it had some definite advantages! Is there anything else you wish they'd carried over from HHD in the WA update?
