Oops my bad you quoted my post and I assumed you were talking to mekoopadude king I wasn’t speaking to you
what is the point of playing semantics with each other exactly?
anyway. I don't really have my hopes up for any longer. I agree with what @kemdi said. they'll probably hold off for a really long time, and I'm disappointed that I didn't think this sooner because it would've saved me a lot of energy. I doubt they'll give anything significant this year, or anytime soon for that matter. when they do, it'll be because they need to milk the game for more profits, and I'm sure they'll tie some sort of purchasable component to it like they did with the amiibo update. clearly, acnh is nothing more of a cash cow. I also think it is interesting to consider what another user here said about them not wanting acnh to do entirely well and give each and every feature that is commonly desired by fans, because it would diminish pocket camp profits. while I would hope this wasn't true, maybe it is.

Little reminder all to please keep your responses respectful! It is understandable that some of you may be upset about the lack of AC:NH news in today's E3 Nintendo Direct but please do not take this frustration out on other members. Thank you!
I'm personally not bothered. I had no expectations for an AC:NH update so wasn't let down. A Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water port was what I had my fingers-crossed for and I didn't think it was likely but it happened!

It was @Snek who was replying to you! See this post.
Ok, so now that I've had some time to digest all the info, I wanna say some things. Maybe it's because I analyze data for a living, or maybe I'm just reading too much into it, idk. Either way, I just want this off my mind:
Firstly if you're heavily disappointed that AC didn't make an E3 showing: I sympathize, but tbh...
Nintendo emphasized repeatedly that this would be showing for NEW and UPCOMING games in 2021. "But what about Smash and Hyrule Warriors??!?" you say. Those are1st party paid DLC, and will be advertised whenever there's a chance. So unless you wanna start paying for AC DLC ala Pocket Camp leaf tickets, then uh...yeah.
Secondly, no, Nintendo has not abandoned AC or fan of the series. AC is big enough now that it gets its own Directs, like Pokemon and Smash. It's the second most sold game on the Switch for all of 2020 and most of 2021. Nintendo knows that it can take the spotlight off for a bit and showcase other games.
Thirdly, in every game in the series, even back from Gamecube through the 'universal code' system, Nintendo has supported each AC game for literally years, especially with item downloads. New Leaf was the first game where we got not only new items but gameplay modes. But that came four years after the NLs release. I'm only guessing, and I'm not telling people to be patient or feel some sort of way, but I don't think NH will be any different. Nintendo all the way back a few months ago announced dlc items for AC up until midsummer. For me, that was the biggest red flag that they weren't gonna show anything for AC for a good long minute.
Analytically speaking, and this is just me talking personally: do not expect to hear anything about AC until August, at best. And please understand me: I'm NOT saying I'm right, just that this is what it looks like to me: There will be a 2.0 update but it won't be anytime soon. Anything we get this year, will be for items, mini-updates, or for events that we've already experienced.
For real, the only thing I'm hoping for in the short term is the villager bug to be fixed so my villagers can start revisiting the museum.

is there a single person in here who doesn't at least feel a little bit like this rn?
I blame @seliph for inspiring me to make this

Nice, you could had got a Bayo win to. Or maybe a double KO if we got both. What do you win with bingo or is it just like bragging rights?

Well yeah, I mean what would you expect if a game you like that was rumored to get an update only to not happen at all? Let's just hope this doesn't turn into a full blown argument that the mods will have a tough time handling because I don't like fighting

What ever happened actually with all those datamined content found in the past months, are these plans Nintendo once had and now just forget about or are there still chances that they maybe gonna add them one day (whenever that day will be)?

Expected. Like I said before, I really think there is no big financial and maybe marketing reasons for Nintendo to pour resources into the game. Financially, the game is a smashing success. A big paid DLC similar to the amiibo update is more probable on that sense- fans apparently loved the paid amiibo update so Nintendo has all the reasons to do another paid thing for the new game. NH keeps selling well although it has understandably beginning to reach a point of saturation. It will still end up as the 2nd or 3rd best selling on the Switch and if anything, a "big paid DLC" would be the thing that will get more refreshed sales, but it's uncertain. I don't know why Pocket Camp keeps being brought up, it's such a small blip on the radar.
Marketing-wise, most people who like to loudly complain on the Internet don't even get their facts straight or just confuse their opinions with facts, so why would they cater to them? And some of them will be unhappy no matter what gets added into the game, like when people were loudly asking for months for Sanrio and the like and even when they added those things, the updates get called "lackluster" or whatever. With 25 million players, it's utterly impossible to please every single one. They literally have more data than any of us to make decisions based on playtime, hours spent, etc, and if they are calm then that only means they are cool with the results achieved so far. Can they "do more" in order to make the disgruntled fans "happier"? I guess. Is it worth the resources? Probably not.So thankful my dream of being a dev never came to be, I'll probably be either ugly crying (wiping the tears with stacks of cash obviously) or doing little things to spite the annoying fanbase. Probably both at the same time.
We're also on a Covid world, but hey, it's easier to throw that under that rug. The industry will keep being affected by the pandemic until like 2023 or so, and that means that sadly, there are many things that will never be the same. Budgets, time, R&D... everything needs to keep on moving and some stuff can/must be left behind. So, if you have a game that already did its part financially and you have enough info to say that people are happy/pleased with it, there's even less reason to get on it.
After all this... will some people keep expecting a never-promised big update that will magically fix all the problems they have with the game or will they finally move on? Stay tuned.
I'll be happy on my little corner playing even more NH instead of the other 10+ unopened or unfinished games while I wait for the 10 new seasonal items added lol

To be fair as much as I hate admitting this, keeping the cookie furniture exclusive to pocket camp alone can still make them money. I'd love to see things like the plush bear and baths that villagers can actually bathe in, but if they keep that stuff exclusive they shouldn't have to worry about pocket camp losing any money cause people will buy it anyhow.
i DO wish we had interactive furniture in general though but that's a dif topic.
Same.
I'd rather not pay for it, but if they asked for it, I'd have no issues doing it.
The rumors were from fans just hoping for something. This still shouldn't equate that anyone here should be attacking anyone. I don't know the specifics because I didn't bother to dig and read, but Vris had to step in for a reason.
Would I loved to see something? Absolutely, but I'm not going to fight anyone here and or start a flame.
Dude same. I’d have no issue paying for acnh dlc.
Agreed! ACNH has given most of us hundreds (or even thousands) of hours of gameplay and it'd be great to further support the game through DLC
I'm just so surprised that Nintendo hasn't done this since ACNH is the 2nd best selling Switch game and it'd be a very profitable business move with how highly demanded it is.To me, it honestly would depend what we would be getting for paid dlc. If it's big enough and gets enough hype, sure...but paid dlc for some extra hair and emotions is a no for me.
I was just playing by myself so no rewards or bragging involved haha, but yeah use to do small bets with E3 bingo like this with friends before. Definitely would have been nice to see Bayo too to get that double win heh.
