The April 23rd New Horizons UPDATE!

[Mairen]

Some people are miserable grumpy sheep and they simply want to keep being miserable grumpy sheep, let them sulk I say!

I'm personally really happy with the way Nintendo is handling this. I think it's fun that we started with a base version of the game and things are gradually going to be added in. I never thought for a moment that the release version of the game was all that we were gonna get. Having things added over time gives us additional content to look forward to and honestly extends the life of the game.

Hmm...didn't think about this. I can't imagine them being separate. My guess would be it'd be available as a paid upgrade?

I was kinda surprised to not see more talk
about it yet! Too lazy to make a thread just to speculate for two days though haha

One big point against them being separate is the issue of Blathers needing to be in two places at once then. That, and the space requirements I guess.

I’m all for the regular one getting an exterior upgrade. The current look gives me mausoleum vibes >.>’

Does anyone know if your game has to be synced to real time for the update to go okay? My second island is a few days ahead. Also, its in the Southern Hemisphere, does that change things?

This update looks so good! I can't wait until the 23rd.
Also I think the timing for bushes feels pretty appropriate. They didn't unlock in New Leaf until the /third/ shop upgrade, iirc. (Speaking of which, I hope a third nook's cranny upgrade sneaks into this update. )

SUUUUPER hyped for this, and I'm sure a lot of players are enjoying these constant updates and events.

My Nook's Cranny is fully upgraded tomorrow which works out. The hedges will be a game changer as an alternate to fencing, as I nuked my island earlier this week to finally terraform and build it the way I want to and didn't progress too much other than flattening the island and laying down basic paths.

IS IT THE 23RD YET?????

 

[JKDOS]

Do we have patch notes yet?

How do you guys feel about so many special characters being reduced to sporadic visits in the plaza? I loved in New Leaf how you would slowly build up your Main Street and each merchant would have their own unique shop. This feels like such a downgrade... Still hyped for everything else, though! I find it interesting that what we would take for granted is now being released in updates, but I'm pretty neutral on that. Can't wait for Redd's ship to come by haha

I hope after this Reese and Cyrus open their own store!

I think it would be cool if they were incorporated into one of the later upgrades of Nook's Cranny, like Shampoodle was in... City Folk? That or Wild World. But yeah, I don't really know what they could do that would warrant their own building, but it would nice to see them permanently on the island.

 

[Sgt.Groove]

Ah yes... now I can sell bushes in bulk for er... idk what I would sell em for, but im so excited that I can finally start up my garden shop and decorate town with art <3

I agree, im laying out my island now and im scared soon they are going to add more building and ill have to rethink it all but yet i want more

We technically don't know if Leif will never get a shop. After all, Mable was a visitor before we got the Able Sisters. So if we don't get the shop this time, it doesn't mean that we will never ever get it in the future.

I would like it if he got a shop. And who knows, they could put it in later? Am I counting on it? No, but it's possible.

 

[Lady Sugarsaurus]

Ahhhhhhh!! Reese and Cyrus!!
That was the best part of the video.
I will be taking ALL of the pictures!!
I can not wait for this update!! >3<

 

[Neechan]

Will the museum expansion be a new building (art gallery) or just an addition to the regular one?

The exterior looks different, so I’m curious if that’s a customization or a general upgrade to every museum (if it’s not a new structure, I mean)

it will be on the second floor of the museum, in the trailer there’s a hallway in the main hall where those chairs currently are.

I could see a potential 3rd upgrade for Nooks Cranny including a flower section with Lief in charge , just like in new leaf.

I think you will be able to download the update fine. But you will need to be on the correct dates to experience the events.

 

[lucitine]

Im so excited!

Im wondering if this update got delayed though? I thought it was meant to come out on the 22nd when Earth Day was happening.

 

[peachycrossing9]

I watched this at 3 in the morning last night and I was screaming.

My boi Leif, bushes, Redd it's all too much

Do we have patch notes yet?

Patch notes likely won't be until the update goes live.
