July 3rd Summer Update Discussion Thread

This update looks really fun!! I'll still wait until the game is complete before getting it if I'm still free and have time on my hands to play AC (not wishing for a second pandemic in the near future!).

Glad to see Pascal and Gulliver made it back into ACNH! Gulliver has been promoted to being a captain instead of a lowly sailor but why is he still finding himself being washed up :LOL:

I'm curious to see on YT videos in the future how jellyfish in ACNH will look like :unsure:

I’m so excited! Yeah, it’s the same content as it was in NL, but they introduced some cool new mechanics in NH so who cares? I also appreciate they’re releasing an update during Covid. They probably didn’t anticipate a global pandemic when planning their seasonal update schedules. Nor did they anticipate people burning through the game at the rate some have due to quarantine. I feel quite a few people can’t see the forest for the for the trees in this fandom sometimes.

Couldn’t agree more :giggle:
 
this was the best thing to wake up to 😭 i was always a bit curious why they decided to add rocks to the beach and now we know its to launch ourselves off of like professionally trained divers and i love it so much. the fact that the mermaid set was brought back fills me with sooo much hope yall dont even know. next time i come across some stars in the sky i'll wish for all the other furniture sets' safe return.

even tho i rly hated diving in acnl, im quite excited for it now. compared to at least the bug wing of the museum, the fish one always seemed less lively. the fishing one isnt bad and is in fact a major upgrade to what we previously had, but the butterflies all flew around and there were bugs AND fish in it. but seeing the lil dudes duck back into the sand when a fish came by was just,,, effervescent.

it was also nice to see the upgrades they had for it. u can see detail!! on the ocean floor now!! u can see ur character dive down as well!! there seems to be multiple types of wetsuits (a lil short sleeve and pants one and a long sleeves and pants one) which is great!! i love the little snorkel mask as well. everything is just so precious. it would have been nice to have more swim-suity wetsuits bc theyve shown they can make things like the tube top and it looks fine! but im still happy all around.

Pascal returning is awesome!! i love his dialogue and im excited to see what wisdom he has to lay down this time. pirate Gulliver has me so intrigued; i wonder if he gives new furniture or something, and i wonder if him being a pirate is just a summer only thing or if it's permanent or just a sometimes only occasion.

im hoping that since diving was kinda datamined (i think??) and its back in our loving embraces that the other things that were datamined also turn out to be true. either way i think i'll be content with whatever comes out in august bc i love this game too much lol

Gulliver has actually been here since launch (with his old sailor outfit), he just has a new costume now for whatever reason. We just don't know what new things that costume entails...
 
Diving looks great but what happened to Gulliver 😅 and I hope they sneak in some other extras in this update!
 
THIS MEANS THEY MIGHT BRING BACK MORE SETS— I’M—

Kind of a lack luster if Pascal and diving are the only new things.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I expected them to show a big update and not different waves of the same update, like... why, though? I'm hoping the second wave brings more features: Brewster + gyroids, events (I mean, the fireworks are definitely hinting at that) + new NPCs (Katrina, maybe?).

I think what I was most disappointed in was: a. no new events in July and b. they recycled Gulliver when they could've used a new character or bring back another one (like, it could've been Phineas). It just seems odd that they'd need to bring Gulliver back again.
 
I was never a big fan of diving, it lost its novelty pretty quickly, but it’ll be fun to revisit it even if I lose interest in a short period of time 😬 I’m just glad we’re getting small updates now and then! it helps keep things fresh, especially for the people who have burned through the game already.
 
I'm sorry but..i'm confused as of to why southern islands are complaing..like I get it there isn't an update for you guys but I think Nintendo is purposely focusing on the Northern hemisphere due to a large chunk of their sales being in America like yes ya'll deserve something but it'd be weird to roll out Christmas stuff in July and that's just facts.
 
I'm really excited about the diving feature being aded back in! I'm crossing my fingers that in wave two they add back more fruit varities!
