New Horizons is plural, rather than singular.

I dunno it might just mean that the game has an even bigger focus on multiplayer as we've seen but I feel like you shouldn't draw conclusions from the title alone. Wild World didn't let you explore the entire world sooooo

It's called the “deserted island getaway package.” So, why can't there be more packages? Why is there an airport? Why not call it "New Horizon" instead? Sometimes, a title can say alot.
I didn't say it can't mean anything? I'm just trying to use the information we have to rationalize it. You opened this thread to share your thoughts so I'm sharing mine.

Wild world wasn't plural and was limited by the technology for it's time.

You said to not draw conclusions from the title alone so I provided more examples. I didn't say that you say that it didn't mean anything. You posted on this thread, so I stated my opinion on what you stated.

I wouldn't see so deeply into it. I think it's plural because just saying "New Horizon" sounds kinda weird lol

What about the other information? Can't there be more packages?
Ok lol you're acting as if I was assumptious about you but like
All I said is that I personally wouldn't see it as a hint but you can do whatever

Likely not. I don't see that being a thing. Unless maybe they implemented a feature like the private island in Doubutsu no Mori E+.

the intro will probably be the part with that package. I bet the intro is the player winning a sweepstake for the “desert island getaway” package. and then we end up living there
I believe the plurality in this case from the "limits" definition, and not the edge of the world. Not to say that it isn't referring to that at all, but a horizon can also refer to the "limit of a person's perception, experience, and desire".
"New Horizons" in this case is alluding to the limits of one's own imagination and how far they can take their island.

I like that interpretation ooh
If we are not able to travel to at least one different place then I wonder what kind of use the airplane
will have which shows up on the map. Probably the same as the train station in NL, to visit other people's
islands then I guess?

Yes! I was thinking about this. I was wandering if it might be like My Sims Kingdom, where you could unlock new islands with new themes

That's interesting and very possible. However, how can one's person perception be considered horizons, with a s? Wouldn't it just be horizon? Besides that, I suppose you right. New leaf had a more non-literal name in terms of location.
I interpret it as there are multiple horizons or multiple locations to start with. Like multiple options to start a new. It could be a literal name like Wild world or city folk (which are singular).
Who knows though.

You can have multiple perceptions. I only gave the definition for the singular aspect.
Normally, when "horizons" is used in its plural form like that, it's often referring to "multiple futures". The "horizon" is the future, how far you can see. When you see multiple horizons, you see multiple futures, multiple choices and possibilities.
In this instant, it has multiple meanings. "New Horizons" as in both the horizon, and the future you desire for your island.

I agree with this interpretation. Rather than a physical place(s) I think it’s referring to how far we can take our island and it’s potential. Although I do hope for some “special areas” we can still travel to other than just that mainland. If I remember correctly, the map in the trailer doesn’t look like there’s an off-map area we can walk off into? Like a gate into a main street type area. Only the seaplane port. I’m not so sure I would like all the utility/shop buildings to be on the map. And if we’re on our own island, would the tortimer island still exist in this world? I kinda hope so lol.
I figured it was because of the whole usual aspect of visiting other towns. or I guess in this case, islands
