Announcement: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free Update

[-Blue-]

While I wasn't expecting this, I can't really say I'm that excited for it. It's great that there's so many that are excited and ready to jump back in. But some of it is stuff that was possible in previous games. And no multiplayer is really disheartening.

It's great they found a solution to those that want more than 1 island that isn't just 'buy an entire new console.' I don't think it should had taken them 5 years to get to that point though. Bulk crafting is great. Hopefully they have it where you can pull from resources in storage and pockets to.

The new line of furniture is fun. It looks like Zelda is based on Botw instead of all Zelda so I hope there's a bit variety. And the resort looks fun. I remember suggesting the idea of a hotel where villagers could visit your town/island for the day and then leave. I don't know if they're stuck to just staying in the room, but it would be nice if they could walk around the actual island.

Wow, finally an update. That's a huge surprise since they said back in 2021 that we wouldn't get any more updates. But I guess this makes sense. They're updating this game so they can make more money with a Switch 2 version rather than developing another AC game right now. Since this adds in some more features that were missing from older games, as well as other good stuff, I'm pretty stoked.

I'm curious if we'll ever get more updates, or if there's more things that we don't know about this one yet. I'd love to see the Monster Hunter/Felyne compatibility to come back. I also would like to see Desert Island Escape (preferably with more added to it) come back.

I'm trying to figure out what's the point of the dream islands? Like it just to kind of have second island?

It looks like it's their way giving you slots for extra islands instead of having to buy a whole console to make another island.

Sort of like how the hotel feels like happy home paradise. I'm glad the whole Kapp'n family is back! It's a little disappointing that the furniture consoles require NSO to play them now.

Ok so I saw the trailer and it made me think about returning. I was so burned out of NH that I wondered if I would play it again but I am curious now to see how some of the new features work like the hotel and dream islands. The dream islands look interesting and I may try it out. I am excited for the Zelda, Lego and Nintendo items. I remember having a lot of the Zelda items in NL and wished some of them were in NH. Still unsure about playing AC like I did in the past but I will check out this update.

Oh I forgot to mention, but I hope hope hope the megaphone works like it did in NL. I want to be screaming right in their ear and have them react in anger/shock. I would love depending on their friendship if they waved gleefully or just casually. That was always so cute!

If you have the physical game on switch 1 and don't wanna set up another island on switch 2. How would that work?

 

[squidney]

holy crud! I saw the stuff via reddit first and when I read the list I was kinda disappointed. But I just watched the video and I am now realizing how much content it issss. I am so excitedddd

 

[dragonair]

I'M SO EXCITED!! I was just thinking about coming back to TBT yesterday and then I wake up this morning and see this announcement lol. I absolutely love the new villagers they're adding with the collab, I think they're so well designed and I'm really excited to see the new furniture!

 

[KittenNoir]

OH MY….. I’m so EXCITED!!!!!!

THERE ARE NEW ITEMS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS!!!

I’m so so so keen for this new update I love the collaboration with LEGO, Legend of Zelda and although I’ve never played Splatoon it’s all super amazing

I love the idea of the hotel and the extended deck on the beach so many ideas on how I can design that area.

I also think it’s cool that you can make multiple islands as I know some players delete to restart or buy another copy just to make a new island.

Do you mean if you wanna transfer your island from the Switch 1 to the Switch 2?

 

[Ginny Potter]

I have an island called Hogwarts on switch 1. If I had the switch 2. Can that island be on the switch 2 without transferring?

Their reactions to the megaphone was one of my favorite things. Some would be happy and some mad it was so much fun to see which it would be.

 

[Mattician]

This was unexpected.

I hope this doesn't mean we have to wait even longer for the next Animal Crossing game for Switch 2.

Without transferring, no. The island is bound to the console so, unless you transfer it, your island would be stuck on the Switch 1 ;; w ;;

Thanks. Technology is over my head

No worries! If you ever feel like transferring your island the instructions are fairly straightforward as well but either way I hope you have fun with the update!

 

[Ginny Potter]

I definitely will
