July 3rd Summer Update Discussion Thread

[Le Ham]

some guys on our country AC group post it, let me ask him xD

that red stripey one is swimsuit lol

Ah, you're right lol, it is technically a swimsuit, but I was thinking modern swimsuits. Like bikinis, one-pieces, things of that nature. There are some shorts in NH that could pass for swimming trunks, but anything like a modern women's swimsuit only exists in rather risque pro designs currently

Turns out they had them in Pocket Camp, but that's, uh, Pocket Camp and it has everything lol

So excited to see this, and I’ve never been bored with the game as is now! It looks like Nintendo meant it when they said they plan to keep adding a lot of content. The mermaid furniture looks darling and pascal is so cute! Plus gotta love new lame puns

 

[Shyria]

Ohhh maybe the August update will bring the seafood the data miners found!!! That'd be great. And a good intro to cooking and then vegetables & all!!

 

[Khaelis]

I did have a feeling we were getting close to an update. So glad it is swimming! Looks like next month's update is some sort of fireworks related event? Perhaps we'll see Brewster next month!

Fireworks and coffee go well together, right?

I'll take any update at this point, praise.

Does the Manila clam count as deep sea diving?

super excited for some new content and Pascal coming back! I wasn’t expecting anything more from a summer update than diving coming back so Wave 2 in August exciting as well!
I know I’m in the (super) minority here, but I like the updates coming in waves.. makes every new feature or added mechanic, even if it’s not new to the series, seem even more fun.

While I dislike waves I think it's better it gives each month something to look forward to! It keeps the game from losing it's luster

So why didn't you pick Northern Hemisphere if you didnt want to play real life?

I'm so confused. You're mad that Christmas will be in December, where is always was. And you picked the hemisphere where it would be summer in December? Were you expected the Toy Day event to move to July?

Ummm? Why the hostility? I didnt actually know this is what they introduced to the game before i picked it? Why is that so difficult to understand lol. By the time i realised it, i was too far in to feel like a reset so why are people constantly fighting me over this? Its a rant. Nothing more. Please , move on if you really find my comments so incredibly triggering lol. I dont understand why it is necessary to try and “correct” someone elses rants. We’re not idiots and i understand that most people live in the northern hemisphere but its a game. We’re supposed to be able to enjoy and have fun.

I'm really excited for diving! Pirate Gulliver seems interesting as well, and I love the mermaid set, so it'll be nice to have it back~

Also, for people who think diving in the winter is strange for people in the Southern Hemisphere, there are people who do dive in the winter. Haenyeo are the first that come to mind: "How long the haenyeo spend in the water depends on the season. Before wetsuits were available and all they wore were cotton swimsuits, haenyeo could stay in the water for only up to an hour at a time during the winter months. After an hour, they got out of the water and sat by the fire for 3–4 hours to dry off. After this break, they would jump back into the water for another hour. During the summer months, however, they stayed in the water for up to 3 hours at a time before a break. With the introduction of wetsuits, haenyeo found they could stay in the water for five to six hours at a time, even during the winter."

Aaahh,, it's the way of kids and the Internet! Good night i'm watchin for 11pm tonight!

I'm disapointed. Two months or more waiting for diving (well, it's already good, in itself) and for some new furniture, while so many are missing! That’s all, right? Of course, in a month we will see what August brings us, but I'm afraid. An uninteresting event, some fireworks?
It is time, I think, to expand the Nook store, to see the cafe again, to dig up gyroids, perhaps to visit another island with little games like in New Leaf. We obviously have one or two new sets of furniture. It's almost nothing, it's poor.
Pity!

What disappoints me the most with this update is that it's most likely code they've been sitting on since before release. Diving could have been in the base game (along with plenty of other things that I'm sure will be in future updates). The new mechanics of terraforming and crafting don't make up for everything that's being withheld at the moment. There are ways to make updates exciting and keep a game fresh without releasing something incomplete, but Nintendo went for the "release a hollow game at launch and keep the players on their toes over when/if we'll finish the game" trend.

I love New Horizons, and I'm sure I'll enjoy everything in this update but I can still be annoyed that my boyfriend spent $60 on a game for me in April that is still lacking a lot of core elements months later.
