The April 23rd New Horizons UPDATE!

[JKDOS]

There's something on the Japanese website:

『あつまれ どうぶつの森』の無料アップデートが4月23日に配信開始！新しい訪問者やイベントをご紹介。 | トピックス | Nintendo

『あつまれ どうぶつの森』の発売から約１か月がたちました。季節の変化につれ、無人島の景色も少しずつ変わってきています。今回は、島での暮らしに慣れてきた方も、移住はこれから…という方

topics.nintendo.co.jp

There's no mention of any bug fixes, which is what I was hoping for.


Like with Bunny Day though, it seems Nintendo is putting a stop to TT shenanigans for those hoping to jump ahead to events. They require you to connect to the internet when the event is ready in real time

* Please note that even if you have already downloaded the update data, the event will not start just by changing the main unit date to the date and time of each event holding period. After the real-time event start date, it is necessary to connect the main body to the Internet and start the software with the user and the Nintendo account linked .

Does anyone know when this update is coming out? Like, is there a release time or something?

The link says 10:00 on April 23rd.

the timing of the update it great too, just when everyone that played without time travel gets the second upgrade to Nooks. most of us haven't even seen the upgraded store and the game is getting new content along with that.

i hope it helps put to rest the idea that the game was released 'unfinished' because you would have had to time travel to notice things were lacking. this isn't aimed at anyone because i'm including myself in that too. even though i didn't TT i'd be lying if i said i wasn't concerned by some of the things that i read during the first two weeks of release.

I wish this update had actually happened today. My Nook's Cranny finally closed for updates today, and aside from having Flick walk around for selling bugs to, there isn't a whole lot going on in my game. All this new stuff would have been a perfect distraction from my temporary loss of services.

It's unlikely that they would mention bug fixes on a press release page. That sort of thing would be left to patch notes.

Edit:

Anyways, 10:00 AM or PM Japan time? If it's 10:00AM, we should see the patch in about 8 hours.

AM/PM was omitted, so it may be safe to assume they mean 10:00 (10:00am) and not 22:00 (10:00pm). Most countries don't use AM/PM system.

I figured it was AM, but I thought about asking anyways. Just in case so I didn't look stupid from missing something obvious lol.

Well, at least we know we should see the update around 9PM EST tonight then!

Me waking up at 5 AM in New Zealand, thinking Isabelle would say there's earth day celebrations on...

Finally! Excited to get some lilies, mums and cosmos!

Lilies for me too! I have like 3 different recipes for lilies, and NO lilies. My town in NL was Lilywood!

It will be nice to buy roses too, I only have red and pink roses.

So i had a small update today and its still the same version 1.1.4a, and no noticeable difference.

What was that all about?

Probably a pre patch to make the nxt update easier or something. I noticed that the update was almost instantaneous so I'm assuming it didn't change much.
