I havent even touched the wedding event at all so the last time i "felt" there was an update was longer than that. I say it is no way they are going to abandon it, it brought so many new players to the franchise and i know of several people who never played an animal crossing game before but were excited to get nh because it had crazy hype around it. Gotta admit that i didnt start actively playing games with this kind of model until recently so i have no idea about what could normally be considered as a long "waiting period" between updates.
Abandoned?

I’m chilling. I would like more content but at the same time, I’m no where near done with my island so I still have stuff to do. I doubt it’s abandoned. With the giant hype around it and new players ain’t no way Nintendo abandoned the game.
I'm not a fan of the one Island per Switch concept; however, in terms of how any game is meant to be played, most companies essentially dictate some terms.
AC is a simulation game that's meant to be played in real time - now I know that some people TT and I think that's fine, but I think it's fair to say that it's not really how the game is meant to work.
I have nothing against TT'ers but I also don't get why you'd TT through months of content and then complain about having nothing to do. Yet, Nintendo has still allowed us the liberty to TT at will - if anything, in NH there are no real repercussions to TT'ing (no wilting flowers or random villagers moving out if one is not careful enough). It's not like they made that function obsolete so I think they are well-aware of the fact that many people do it YET they reserve the right to withhold certain updates and content... Makes sense to me.
A comparison I could draw here would be someone trying to play a game like the Last of Us or Resident Evil merely as an exploration game and then complaining about being killed off by zombies or enemies. Sure, you might love the exploration aspect of such games, but you have to come to terms with the fact that you'll eventually have to play a "certain way" in order to progress.
I for one used dream suite almost every day when playing New leaf, because I love exploring towns. And so ar new horizons has been a bummer in this aspect bc you gotta beg for people to open their towns and you can't fully explore as you want. This is the feature I want the most to be put back in game. or at least some sort of feature that lets you visit other towns without the host.
idk how i feel about what ppl r saying on this topic. yes acnh is definitely lacking in content in comparison to past games (we need more furniture!!), but those same past games didnt have any updates whatsoever (except for acnl but that was near the end of its life). we literally just played the same thing over and over without much disappointment, so why isn't it the same this time? i feel like the direction gaming as a whole is going in is affecting everyone's perceptions a bit. we want new stuff all the time without really appreciating what we have (not that anyone isn't appreciating what we got in acnh). im not saying anyone's ungrateful (like i said the game does have quite a few glaring flaws), but it feels like ppl rly rushed trying to get to their "endgame" and now they don't have anything to do. and i dont even know if that could be called a player's fault or if it's the game's fault. i mean we all play at different speeds but idk. my feelings on this are kinda complicated ig.
i dont think nintendo will "abandon" animal crossing. it seems like they're kinda going in a similar direction with it as they are with pokemon swsh (which gets pretty frequent content updates thru pokemon dens & stuff), but giving us even more content. i feel like they started off with a huge bang and that got everyone's expectations up and then they give us this rly tiny event and so now we're all kinda bummed. but it's like what can they honestly do for june besides a wedding themed thing? yea it's kinda boring but at least we got something, like i thought they were just gonna give us holiday updates and leave us hanging in between them so this is a nice surprise for me ig. u arent rly obligated to do it but its there for the ppl that want to. i say this but then i look at the state the game's in and see how much it's lacking. like why did they do this tiny wedding event that adds in rly niche furniture when they could have added in previous furniture sets? more clothing?
i got off topic again, but we know that we'll at least get updates during holidays, if not almost every month bc of the current rend. regardless of that, i feel like nintendo wouldn't abandon acnh like this when it's really popular (especially compared to other games). we don't know what we'll get with these update, but i haven't given up hope.

Adding unique furniture and clothing is a good thing, in my opinion.
NL had some neat furniture sets for sure, but some of them were also quite hideous (*cough cough* the balloon set).
That's not to say that some of the furniture sets aren't going to make a comeback but I don't quite get why some people are so intent on regurgitating identical furniture in this title.
As for the clothing, I think some of it looks stunning too and many designs are a big improvement. We can finally wear long dresses of different shapes, tube tops, spaghetti strap tops, backpacks and pochettes. We also have animated wallpaper and flooring that we never had back in NL.
I just don't see a lot of the people appreciating some of the details that have been added - instead so many are focused on the "missing" aspects.

I think something along the lines of a Dreamsuite could become available once they sort of cloud saves since it essentially means a copy of our Island would have to be uploaded to Nintendo servers.
the issue is that we only have like 4 unique furniture sets and that's it. and they're not the easiest to blend together compared to previous games' furniture sets. if they had added waaaay more things on launch then ppl wouldn't be so upset. u look at pictures of ppl's homes and while they're all different because of furniture placement and customization, they're all the same pieces. & the furniture sets from previous games were rly good!! it's not regurgitating identical furniture, it's getting back sets that were in multiples games that are just missing in this one. idk why they'd ever get rid of staples like that.
and ig i take back my statement of ppl not appreciating the things we have. no one ever rly outright says it, but the appreciation for all the new things is there in what they wear on their characters and what they decorate their houses and islands with. the fact that we lack so much content that was in past titles is more glaring than the coolness of a glow-in-the-dark wallpaper.
My point is that people seem to want a game that is identical to NL but on the Switch and even then I'm sure they'd complain about lack of original content or novelty.
The stuff that is missing at this point are some of the furniture sets, NPC's and the Dream Suite and I don't think it's ever been indicated by Nintendo that these won't be making a comeback.
There have been lots of other features added like the terraforming and crafting - heck, even the way the clothing looks on the villagers adds so much more life to the game in my opinion.
But I guess you can't make everyone happy.
Saaaame!! I wanna visit people's towns for inspiration but I have to get them to allow me in which then I feel like they're paranoid while I'm walking around. Screenshots aren't the same as in person.
Yes, I do agree that the Dream Suite would be a nice addition and I wonder if it might happen at around the same time they enable cloud saves since a copy of our Island would have to be uploaded onto their servers for it to work.
It wasn't a feature I used extensively - I'd mainly explore horror towns or towns I'd discover through Tumblr when I didn't have much to do in my own town but I still think it would be a neat feature.
Right now I just get my fix through watching Island tours on YouTube.
I'm also hoping for Shampoodle to give us some funky haircuts and maybe multiple hair or eye colors.

That's the thing. Many people have set up industrialized kinds of towns up on their Islands.
I mainly want Brewster back for sentimental value. I also like the idea of having a cafe or a proper restaurant where the villagers could just sit down to chill, drink, snack and gossip. I'm hopeful something along those lines will make a comeback - even if not identical to what we had with Brewster.
Oh yes, I wish we could have Dream Suite as well and hopefully, it's not something you will build on your island but rather outside like there will be an option to go to the dream island to see Luna or it will work the same way as Dodo code then Wilbur will fly you and go straight to the DA's island with matching overhead view as an introduction then we walk starting from the airport.

I will always be of the camp that this is the perfect Animal Crossing game for the Dream Suite
Also I just had this thought... what if the dream suite worked like this...
You lie down on your bed, press the A button, then your character drifts off to sleep. Then just like how at the start of the game (when you first met with K.K. in a dream), but instead of KK it is Luna that meets you in the Dream. She then asks if you wanna upload a copy of your island to the dream realm for others to visit, and then she also allows you to visit other people's islands. That way there doesn't have to be a physical building in the game.
I was thinking, it would be cool to make Dream Suite the "cloud save" a lot of people are asking for. You could have your town restored from Dream Suite only if you contacted Nintendo. This might cut down on the case they seem to be trying to avoid, which is basically resetting for items/villagers after trading them away.
