I'm honestly confused about this too. Maybe it has to do with time zones?

Seems like they prioritised the Mario Maker update over Animal Crossing lol. Really annoying.

Eh it's just another day. Plus the earth day event lasts for a while so I'm not too mad about it.
Could also be because if you played since launch and dont time travel the nook shops are gonna be closed tomorrow and may have interfered with the event. But that's just my assumption.
I'm soooo hyped for all the events and for the museum upgrade!! The art section looks fantastic! I'm also super excited to see Leif back, along with bushes and a wider variety of flowers. Honetly, this update looks absolutely fantastic.
I'm less hyped for Redd (yay, Redd's back!) docking at our secret beach. Mine is in one corner hidden by multiple layers of cliffs. There's no way for me to build ramps down to it unless I demolish half of the cliff, and move two or even four of my villagers' houses elsewhere, on my already-cramped island. My island looks so good as-is; I don't want to mess it up!
But I hate wasting an inventory spot on the ladder.... Ughhh.

- I think this is neat that we will get at least one new island. I didn’t even think about the possibility of new islands so this is pretty cool. I guess we will have to wait and see if there are more than one. I bet we will see more new islands in future events/ updates as well.Now to things that concerns me, to contain hype and expectations:
-One new island that will be available only in may? Srsly? Or there are more islands?
-More furniture? In addition to wedding set?
-Where is Mah ROOST?
-I think each event will come with some new furniture items. I wonder what rewards we will get for the museum stamps.
-He is mentioned In the data mine so I bet we will see him sometime this year. I think the next big rollout for updates will be around June/ July.

Luckily Redd wont be there every day so you can probably just keep the ladder near the cliffs/in your storage until you see him dock. That way you dont need to carry it all the time.
Great! Now maybe people will stop complaining about the game being bad. /sarcasm 
What frustrates me is no matter what they do. No matter how many updates they do. No matter what they add. People are going to say that the game is a horrible unfinished mess and that they are only doing these updates because they couldn't finish the game in time. I know people really don't like it when companies have a vision for their game and expect it to be played in a certain way, but it feels like Nintendo really wanted this particular Animal Crossing game to be a living game.
Thank you for letting me get that off my chest really quick.
Now, onto the hype!
New Events! I was wondering what sort of events were going to happen in this game. It looks like they are adding plenty of new ones. I wonder how the museum rally is going to work? Nature Day looks super cute. May Day is nothing like an actual May Day celebration, but it looks like it will be a fun adventuring game. I'm glad that they are giving us different types of tickets for different events.
The good thing about the secret beach is that it has a purpose! The bad thing about it is that I have to work it into my island design now. Good thing I haven't settled on a particular layout yet.
And anniversary pictures for Reese and Cyrus! So adorable! The best thing about that? All the furniture you accessed in Harvey's Cabin that you didn't have the first time got cataloged for you and you could order it at any time. I wonder if it will be the same with the special wedding furniture. And now people can stop saying that Harvey's Cabin has no purpose. It looks like it will be used for fun little events. Much more interactive than just being a salesman at an RV campground.
I have to admit that a teeny tiny little part of me was hoping for the Roost to happen this patch, but I'm willing to wait. Who knows what they are planning to do with it?

OMG, you're a genius. I'll just drop the ladder on the cliff and leave it there for when he comes! That's so much easier than either always carrying it on me or running waaaay back to the opposite side of the island to my house. Thank you! I never remember we can drop/place tools.
Completely untrue. Development takes time, they can't guarantee these will be done in time to match real-life equivalent holidays and days. Plus, its a game. If they wanted to make a Christmas update and say, "It's on November 1st!", it'll be on November 1st in the game.
Considering the current pandemic going on and how Japan is in heavy lockdown currently, we should be happy we're seeing this update on the 23rd.

Yeah, I thought the same thing, too. It seems Redd will come sporadically, as previous entries. So it wouldn't be a big issue for those with a set placed in their beaches.
Because nintendo (?)
I cleared out the cliff in front of my secret beach to do a UFO crash site, and imagining Redd docking at the area to do shady business is hilarious! I'm so excited for everything in this update. Godspeed to those who need to change some plans for Redd tho ;o;
Maybe because of the corona thingy, it might be harder for teams to work on projects, with all the restrictions and crap. Then again, it would probably have been delayed longer then this in that case. Anyways, who cares, its here.

Look at Rover being cute in the top right!
I don't think so. I've played since midnight on launch day, but my shop won't be upgrading until the day after tomorrow. I was slow on getting Nook's Cranny unlocked. I don't think the stores being open or closed will affect anything, honestly.
The fact that the update is a day off probably has more to do with the state of the world at the moment or just Nintendo being Nintendo and doing whatever they want to do whenever they want to do it. I highly suspect it is the latter more than anything!
