July 3rd Summer Update Discussion Thread

[Luxsama]

I'm not really as excited over this update as everyone else. They're really just giving us things that already existed to begin with in NL. A lot of people are bored with the game and have been moving away from it because of lack of things to do. I hoped that a summer update would have come with an event or two instead of pirate Gulliver who'll probably be as common as Redd appearances. Mermaid furniture we also already had.

I was hoping they'd add more things to do for multiplayer, which is still super lacking. Adding little things is nice, but I worry for the longevity of the game at this rate. Drip-feed content like this only works for so long. Of course I'm glad features of NL are back, but I still feel disappointed. Instead of new exciting things, they're just finishing the game to completion (in my eyes) masked under the guise of updates.

I relate

If this is all they have to keep the hype going I'm not sure its gonna work

I am so excited, love all the updates, I know some people keep complaining about the game and that they have nothing to do, but how can Nintendo keep up with a lot of people with more Than normal free time because of Corona... I think they are doing a good job considering all things going on in the world.

New horizons is my first AC game so i have the following question: Do the swim/diving feature stays forever or will we be able to only do it for the summer update? Based on previous games obviously.

Super hyped to have more content; kinda was hoping Brewster's Cafe would be in the next update tho. Us non Summer people need warm coffee to warm up in the snow, and well diving will just give us hyperthermia haha.

Based on previous games, you'll be able to dive all year as long as you have a wetsuit. There will be different creatures to catch, depending on the season, too.

I hope Gulliver will still be giving out the old items, I want to decorate Ankha's garden and I only ever get hat type things from him...

I think diving will be fun and I'm happy to have more things to add to the museum.

It’ll stay forever. There’s sea creatures that come in different months like bugs and fish do.

I like this update but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more excited for the August one. I know this is most likely me reading too much in to it but those fireworks in the Wave 2 announcement pop up screen.... summer fireworks event returning? Yes please. I always loved the vibes of the summer firework festivals in NL.

Anyway back to this update...
Very good to see they are bringing back old sets. Mermaid is returning and I have a feeling Gulliver will now be dropping the pirate "set". It was never a real set but there were a good chunk of pirate items.

Diving is neat. More stuff to collect. I was never the biggest fan but hey, more things to do.

I do have a minor problem with the update... it feels like this is definitely geared towards Northern Hemisphere. I can't help but wonder how left out Southern Hemisphere feels? I know you can go diving in winter and all that but you can't tell me this isn't a summer update.

Final note:

I don't think this is too small of an update. We're confirmed the next one in roughly a month anyway. That's... a really short wait. Maybe that's just me though.​

I hope the new sea creatures look nice when displayed.

 

[Gazer297]

Yes so excited for this!

 

[Loriii]

I'm not as excited as I'm not a big fan of diving but having this feature is nice. More furniture is always good and hopefully Gulliver will give us pirate items or something. I could probably add a bit more stuff in my pirate-themed room.

I had the same thoughts after watching the video. Like diving is exciting because of the new creatures, but if it's taking this long to bring back a few things from NL, how long is it going to take for us to have everything else that's missing from previous games? They should really bring back more of the old stuff in large batches and just drip-feed new stuff.

Loved it but, as always:

Nintendo: hey, we have another northern-hemisphere oriented update!

Southern-hemisphere players: am I a joke to you?

As someone who never played NL, I appreciate this new content, it's exciting. I never did any of that when playing Wild World so it's greatly appreciated, honestly, I was so young when I played WW I don't ever remember encountering Pascal... personally I don't mind this slow release, it helps people pace themselves better! And I agree, I was very disappointed with the whole multiplayer aspect of the game, so and update on this would be great!

I hope this means that Gulliver will show up more often and not less. Pirate furniture please
