July 3rd Summer Update Discussion Thread

[MayorGong]

So many good news!! Diving is back and looks like fireworks will be back too!

While I'm really excited about the update, something about the 'summer update' while my island is covered in snow and everyone is enjoying the winter scares me. I don't think putting on a swimsuit and jumping into the -40º celsius water and dive into it is the most... sane idea? I'd rather my villagers not become a bunch of ice statues :[

Jokes aside, the seasonal updates feel like a big oversight considering the southern hemisphere.. exists. It feels like blatantly ignoring the fact that half the planet is not currently experiencing summer while making the summer update. I'd rather there be updates more spread out but with more content for both sides (Instead of two summer updates, maybe part 2 could have been the winter update for us), however with the current state of the world I think it's ultimately forgivable, and i'm looking forward for part 2 and becoming a human popsicle while diving for treasure and seaweeds.

your comment made me laugh so hard with the popsicle jokes. <3 aha

 

[Marzipan]

Yeah... even though I am in the northern hemisphere I still feel bad for players in the southern hemisphere who seem to get screwed over by the developers in this game. You guys should have definitely gotten your own little update as well.

I‘m sure most sales are in the Northern hemisphere

i expected more but i'll take it *cough*brewster*cough*... the slow roll outs will KILL me

edit: ok now that i took that in i'm excited for pascal. i guess cafe won't be coming until fall-ish? which is more appropriate but a bummer

I also felt like that, I’m upset I have to wait to have Brewster back BUT I feel more positive about seeing him later on in the year I can picture myself now walking around in the autumn air holding my fresh brew

 

[HungryForCereal]

as a player since new leaf, this diving and mermaid furniture update is kinda boring...we already got that in new leaf so why not something not in new leaf?

 

[Alicia]

I'm excited for this update, was hoping to have Brewster back, but I'm happy to have diving back and everything else.
Plus, I'm curious about what August will hold!

 

[N e s s]

Just give me the roost man

 

[SheepMareep]

I am so happy to see a returning furniture set!!! This makes me feel a lot better about all of the old sets returning as well as having some new ones added in.

Sadly I think Brewster will be a northern hemisphere autumn or winter event due to the warm drinks. But hopefully we at least get a summer festival again where redd has his own little stall with treats!!!!

 

[sarosephie]

A little part of me hopes we can design wetsuits, but I doubt it.

I can not wait, it looks like a really good update

 

[Bethboj]

Everything in southern hemisphere just feels idiotic at this point. When its summer we celebrate....christmas? What? it doesnt make sense anymore ;-;


ikr! At least give brewster!

If you southern hemisphere got a Brewster update I’d be restarting my island again
I know where you’re coming from though. It’s abit strange, but maybe once they’ve rolled all the major updates out they might change the seasonal dates round so it makes sense depending on what hemisphere you selected maybe?

 

[OLoveLy]

So happy that the diving is back for the summer time !
I can't wait to see what Gulliver have to offer this time.

 

[SpiritofAce]

To those of you saying this isn't enough, it's fairly obvious to me at least that they would have liked to have had the update release completed, like with the April update all of the content between April-June was ready to go, but with COVID this has obviously halted their speed a fair bit. You're still going to get the content, but they have probably just had to split it up because the August-September content just wasn't ready to go yet. It's only a month to wait.

Pascal was so chill, and I’m so happy we get to dive again! It was a really cool feature in new leaf. But I have to wonder... does anyone think that we would be able to dive off cliffs we terraformed?

I sure hope so Lol! Or maybe once they roll out all the major updates they could keep it as is! Then it would make more sense Because then every season gets something!

 

[Summ3rain]

Does anybody think that the August update might include vegetables...? Seems fitting to introduce planting crops in the summer.

 

[Marshmallows]

Yes!!!! Diving, Pascal, and the mermaid set... I didn't expect Pascal to be back. Makes me hopeful for all the other npcs.

And such a cute and fun jump into the water!

 

[DaviddivaD]

Diving's back, cool. Pascal's back, cool. But I was expecting Tortimor Island to come back to give us more activities for multiplayer. As it stands besides trading, multiplayer is useless.

People also want Brewster.

I know it's a free update and I'm grateful but I was expecting a little bit more.

Also what about crafting multiple DIYs at the same time? Or being able to buy more than one type of clothes in the Able Sisters dressing room?

Guess we can hope for the August update.

You could dive off a cliff in NL. It'd be pretty cool to dive off of the peninsula as that's the only spot I think would work.

 

[JellyLu]

I'm honestly really excited! I loved diving in New Leaf and the graphics in NH make it look even better! Pascal has always been a favorite too ❣

Plus, since my birthday is in the beginning of July this feels like a birthday present from Nintendo
