Announcement: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free Update

[Suguri]

I hate to say this, but I think I'm gonna be late to the party when the update comes out. I got my console taken away and I’m supposed to study for my senior year.

I hope can enjoy it, though!

Something I haven't seen talked about: Does anyone think we'll see new DIYs? I know there's a little over 900, maybe they'll make it over 1000?

I’m thinking there might be new recipes to learn.

It's downloading! My game is updating.

Spoiler: Isabelle announcing.

I'm very curious about the data mining once the 3.0 update is out!

I also read that, seemingly, the update will be out by 5pm PST today (which is 10pm where I'm from) -- so, very excited if that's the case!!

Seems like the update is out for some people?! I'm seeing players taking pics with the hotel already all over Twitter!

Updating my game now!

I just finished updating my game!

The first thing I did was test out one of the new amiibo villagers. I've started with Cece, but I'll be working through all four, and hopefully inviting Tulin and Mineru to stay!

I am currently working on making DIYs for the new hotel currency

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

I’ll start playing after work today. I really want to get rid of All of those pesky flowers immediately!

I just got finished with my first hotel room and a villager I'm not very fond of showed up and grab it.

I couldn't help but peek at your room (and to see which villager it was). It's a beautiful room!!

Yeah. I don’t blame you. I really don’t like him either. His lips make me very uncomfortable and keeps making me think of racial stereotypes.

Slumber island

When you look at the menu for residents. Not only your current Villagers show up in it, but also villagers you had in the past will also show in the menu. I can place Cally there. I'm about to cry. lol

My game is already downloaded. So excited!

Seeing so many people on their island during the update with clear skies and then there's mine in the middle of a blizzard/heavy snowfall. lol

Spoiler: Ceremony for the hotel

I'm generally not a fan of snowy season in Animal Crossing, but I do love the heavy snowfall weather in this game.

I love that pressing L1 makes you do a lil hop

 

[Ginny Potter]

I just got my first visitor!!

I haven’t gotten Resetti yet. How do I get him to appear?

I found him just roaming the island. Have you completed the game past the point where K.K. Slider hosts a concert on your island, and Tim Nook gives you the Construction App on your Nook Phone?

Y'all know that when you customize you always had to buy like multiple? Now you can buy 50 for $30,000
