Announcement: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free Update

It's not mentioned explicitly, it's shown during the part about crafting items to ship out through Kapp'n. When the player goes to craft the items, they can choose a number of items to craft.

Limiting bulk crafting to that would be on brand for current Nintendo.

It doesn't seem to be limited, the player goes to a normal crafting bench in their town to craft it, and it looks like they can craft more than the three needed for the item they chose.

Well, I'm just a downer right now.

I love how the guests can roam around. It's almost like it was with the GC version when we can have more than 10 villagers (8 in WW) at once.

I wonder if they will make friends with our villagers and hangout with them too.

I absolutely love this new feature! I wonder if we can have multiple tourists a day strolling in our island or if it's limited to one (and the others remain at the hotel). I LOVE that they visit the stores, too!!

Wow, I didn't see this coming at all, what a surprise!

I'm not planing on getting a nintendo switch 2 any time soon, but I look forward to the free update.
Can't wait to see how the hotel works and get the new villagers / crossover stuff (love me some legend of zelda goodies)!!

I can imagine some people will create their own fun minigames with slumber mode!

It will be easier to make hide and seek islands now!!

For sure! And definitely competitions/tracks.

New update woooooooo!!!!!

Super excited for some of the features announced here! Bulk crafting, new furniture, and increased storage alone as an update honestly would have been enough to please me so the rest feels like a bonus.

The hotel doesn't interest me a ton because as others have mentioned it's very similar to Happy Home Paradise which I haven't even finished... On the other hand slumber islands has me very interested!!! I've barely gotten to terraform anything since like 2021 because I'm happy with the layout I made and didn't want to mess with it. Slumber islands is going to finally give me more opportunity for outdoor decorating! The idea of cooperative decorating with friends is also extremely cute.

The only thing I'm maybe a little sad about is that 12 player multiplayer is limited to everyone in the session needing the Switch 2 edition because I want to be able to partake in 12 player chaos as well!
