Announcement: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free Update

[Chiana]

I just want to ask if this update will also be for the Switch Lite for sure. If so, I need to see about a new battery. It never seemed to hold much of a charge, to begin with, but needs plugged in most of the time now to play. I have not played for a while now, but this makes me want to see about the battery to enjoy it all over again.

It’s not everyday that a corporation such as Nintendo wakes up and says, “Yeah! Let’s update a 5 and a half year old game for free!” Especially seeing as in 2021 they announced the “final free update.”

I do like this idea of the update, and seeing as it is free, I think is really cool. Granted, I’m not excited for it; I probably won’t even play it. It’s just New Leaf Happy Home Designer but nicer and you actually “get stuff” for doing it.

I also think that this could be an attempt at estimating interest in the Animal Crossing franchise as a whole right now, or maybe even a platform for testing code and features for a potential new game in the series.

I’m so excited! Been needing a reason to get back into NH . I was worried about the furniture and villagers being switch 2 only since I don’t have plans getting one anytime soon since my switch and switch lite are both still new. Relieved that I’m not going to miss out on much from what I can tell.

I’m worried about the new villagers and collaboration being amiibo only since after the pokemon distribution code diaster and considering the problems with amiibo shortages last time, I can already see it happening again and scalping being a problem. Or if the items are obtainable from only old amiibos that I never got.

That's so amazing!!! And so unexpected! I screamed just a little during the second part of the trailer
There are some things that I don't care about that much while others are sooo cool. Overall I'm very excited

Ooooh that new Hotel music is gorgeous!

Wow, what an incredible update. The slumber islands look awesome, and being able to play some old games and decorate with the game systems are pretty cool. The hotel is quite fun too. Also the items from Zelda and Splatoon are really fun, can't wait to play again for a while.

The Version 3.0 Free Update will be for all Switch consoles, including Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch 2.

switch lite is essentially the same as the switch 1, so yes

the only thing you would not be able to use are switch 2 exclusive features and anything that requires the system to be docked (of which nothing seems to be shown, afaik)

Thank you. I can now officially run around in excited circles.

There's Only 1 thing I Want that hasn't been confirmed yet:

1. The Return of Wolf Link & Epona as Villagers alongside Tulin & Mineru. . .

Seriously; If they can bring in Tulin & Mineru from Tears of The Kingdom; why not bring the OG Zelda Villagers back too; aka Wolf Link & Epona?!


Also; I Have a Question:

What Will Tulin's Personality Be in ACNH V3.0[will He be Lazy, Jock, Cranky or Smug]; and what will Mineru's Personality be[Will She be Normal, Peppy, Snooty, or Big Sister]

I cannot wait! It looks absolutely brilliant and the update is completely unexpected! Love the idea of the hotel, Lego and Splatoon items! Hope Buck is ready for a lot of new gifts!

There's Just two things that are Bothering me. . .

Which Zelda-series Amiibo will be used to bring in Mineru; and which one will be used to bring Tulin into Animal crossing?!

Last I Checked; there WASN'T a Mineru Amiibo; OR A Tulin Amiibo
