The April 23rd New Horizons UPDATE!

I'M CRYING, THIS IS ACTUALLY SO GOOD!
WE GET OUR BUSHES AND HEDGES!
Reese and Cyrus getting married was something I also didn't know I wanted or needed until Nintendo was like; "Here you go."

It's so interesting! It's like they're plucking the best aspects of every games previous and incorporating them in while giving us brand new things to keep it fresh and interesting!
Nintendo, thank you ;A;
 
Yup, just like I thought!

Nintendo deliberately omitted features that should have already been in the base game just to "reintroduce" it to us like if it's all brand new, never before seen or done.

........Now, if they reintroduce swimming maybe I can forgive them 😉
 
I wonder if we'll see new furniture with the update? Super excited for hedge fences!

Pretty sure the wedding stuff shown was new. Also I’m pretty sure most of these events will have some Kind of new furniture to go along with them.

Pretty excited about the update. Was hoping the cafe would be there too but I guess that’s coming later and it’s probably going to be a separate building now which I’m not keen on. I have no room :(

Also wedding season is a really long event... I hope there’s more to it than just taking photos for Reese and Cyrus. And I hope they get more of a role.

And it worked like a charm, just read some of the comments in this thread lol, "thank you Nintendo for cutting basic features like bushes, to give it back to us later, now we can start all over designing our islands"...
I'm glad that my prediction about them rolling big updates out in MMO fashion is true, but they should have been upfront about it, and bushes should have been there from the beginning, it's such an important part of design and layout that I pretty much have to tear everything down now after hundreds of hours, and millions of bells on infrastructure, so dumb.
I'm super excited about bushes, but the way they went about it is pretty gross, cheap way to build excitement.
It's bittersweet, but at least now it's confirmed that they're expanding the game, and it's not just holiday updates, and we get our bushes.
 
AHHH!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!

for me, bushes always made the game just feel so much cozier, and I'm so glad that we have another foliage option now! Can't wait to use a bunch of these on my island! c:
 
I had both Saharah and Celeste last night in my town.

Celeste and Wisp weren’t on my list. They can show up at the same time as the other weeklies. Maybe Redd will too...

Now let’s get the Kapp’n to do something with that dock!

Oh no I just replanned my entire village area to include bushes now I gotta move every house back by 1 tile oh no Daisy Mae pls hurry I need ALL your turnips
 
i'm so impressed by this! bushes and hedges, baby! i was also intrigued to see the may day tours - i wonder what they'll be like? it reminds me of the new leaf tortimer tours, where you would go through the maze to find the different fruits!
 
I'M CRYING.
I've seen it 3 times. I love it all. Leif's little shop looks awesome. Redd's boat is awesome. The Museum updates and the National Museum Day is amazing. Reese and Cyrus's anniversary photos are also pretty rad. ALSO THE RETURN OF MY BOI ROVER.
 
I'm hoping that Nintendo is indeed going to bring back previous features or NPCs, since we're seeing Leif, Redd, Rover, Reese, and Cyrus clearly in this update! Here's hoping more NPCs are coming. I hope that we can get permanent shops for Leif, Reese, and Cyrus! For Reese and Cyrus, maybe we can buy DIY recipes from them or customize items from Nook's Cranny through them?

I am personally most excited for the art gallery and Redd (who offers more than just paintings now!).

I wonder if the wedding event will now be yearly or if it's just for this year. I assume it'd be yearly so that people have time to get all the items that they need from the wedding collection.
 
This was amazing news to wake up to! Am I the only one that can't help but think about new furniture/items/DIYs that could be slipped into the update too? They didn't overtly mention any, but that doesn't mean there won't be any!!
