The April 23rd New Horizons UPDATE!

[lemonzboy]

I can not wait omg

I'm looking forward to when/if they bring back gyroids
my gamecube house was full of them

Wait... is the Earth Day update being released on April 23rd? The day right after Earth Day? That seems a little odd, though I won't object to prolonging the festivities!


Also yayy!!! Bushes! Paintings! A museum upgrade! LEIF!!!

 

[OLoveLy]

Let's gooo ! ;-;

I can’t wait to litter my town with Redd’s historical sculptures

This pretty much just proves the game was not finished on time haha

Also most likely means the whole datamine is real too. (Or at least part of it.)

Happy to see Rover on the May Day island, at least!

As for when other updates will come... my prediction is that bigger updates aren’t coming until much later(I have a feeling Roost wouldn’t be until Fall at the earliest, maybe even later), but smaller updates will come at a fairly consistent rate.

They advertised events which last as late as June, so we probably won’t see another update until July or August. That’s fine with me, though.

Everything in the trailer was already in the game though? From the datamining which turned out to be right

I don't mind this game specifically drawing out content through updates since this a slow paced game, I feel like that kind of thoughtfulness shouldn't be mistaken as "unfinished"

 

[claracampanelli]

ooof im so excited!

Saw a lot of people saying they wanted bushes so there's many people happy out there right now hahaha

Loved to see Redd, and the art gallery looks amazing. Still preferred that he docked on the pier but I'm probably in the minority here.

Cyrus and Reese getting married is just the icing on the cake!

Still, nothing about The Roost... :/

 

[Mosshead]

Oh my god this is going to be the longest 2 days ever

Looks good to me wouldn’t be supprised if there’s other stuff here we won’t see for a while like the next shop upgrade.

the fact flowers should be more readily available is also a win

May Day, stamp rally, wedding photos, and Rover were not uncovered via datamining, FWIW. The update data is update data, not just a flag that's been pushed to your game to turn the content on. The game does not have a year's worth of activities in it right now, but the updates are looking super promising! I'm personally extremely excited.

 

[Romaki]

Can't wait to get scammed again!

 

[SoraSmiles]

The excitement might actually end me xD omg this is going to be amazing! I'm so glad they brought back bushes! The museum stamp thing looks really cool, as does all the other stuff!

You think Nintendo pushed the Earth Day event back to April 23rd and not the 22nd because they realized all of our Nook Shops are gonna be under construction tomorrow? Lol

 

[th8827]

Yay! Redd! I can't wait to be ripped off.

[MidnightCoffee2]

[kotinni]

yeah not really sure why people seem so taken aback by the periodic updates. this happens often with other games, and i feel as though again, it was implied by the specific updates and events in pocket camp (even as far as the amiibo update with new leaf). it feels very fresh, and i appreciate that.

really excited about everything in the video, and of COURSE, bushes.

 

[bubblemilktea]

OMG!!! I can’t contain my excitement!! I’m so happy!!

 

[Corrie]

This is what we were all waiting for! This is why we're here!
