Update impressions!

I enjoyed it, Diving is a lot of fun and I love how the new models look now.

But there is absolutely no excuse for the lack of simple changes that people have been asking for, like not being kicked out of the dressing room when buying multiple items. They didn't think this was a problem despite people complaining since launch?
 
OMG I love this update, seeing as I most likely won't be able to go swimming with my nieces and nephew this year because stupid Rona this is filling the void a bit, I also love the collectible swim wear and the sea critters are such a great addition to the aquarium, can't wait to get all of the mermaid items either 💙🌊🐚⚓🔱
 
i'm enjoying swim much more here than in new leaf for some reason, so i'm really liking it! haven't gotten pirate gulliver yet, but i'm excited for his new items as well to decorate my beach.
 
I'm liking it well enough so far, its pretty fun to swim! The swimming itself is a bet slow and I wish there were better wetsuits to choose from but for the first day, I think it's pretty cool!
 
Remember how I was feeling a little annoyed at the update? Well, I love it! I got to go swimming in the game with my family (including my dad who is new to the series) and it inspired me to make more cliffs at my penninsula so I can have a jump off point which is super fun!

I'm still a bit sad there is no dried starfish recipe to make starfish for your beach or something. I'm glad you can display the seaweed though!
 
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the swimming update! The sea creatures seem to swim slower compared to their New Leaf counterparts, and I'm fine with it. The experience has been relaxing so far and I'm glad I didn't set myself up for disappointment. Also, our phones are waterproof, apparently.
 
The new animations to diving is beautiful. I was pretty blown away by it. I assumed it'd be similar to new leaf's with just your shadow.

I'm happy with all updates thus far. I'm not in a rush for content and the pace is fine for me.
 
The swimming and sea creatures is great.

Otherwise... I'm disappointed with pirate Gulliver in NH:

What Gulliver gives us is disappointing. I mean disappointing in comparison to what Pocket Camp gets from Pirate Gulliver. They get all kinds of great furniture that works great outdoors like tables with umbrellas, fencing, fountains, potted plants, and what do we get in NH? The gimmicky items. The treasure chest, the cannon. Stuff like that.

New Horizons is being held back so much by this nonsense. And this feels like even more of a spit in the face. As this is the same character, the same theme. Just PC gets the lion's share and we get mere scraps.
 
Really love the museum even more now. It’s the best it ever looked in the series. I actually hope they bring something new to the museum soon.
 
swimming is pretty fun but other than that they really didnt add enough for me to stay too interested
i just hope the 2nd update adds something with a little more oomph
 
I'm liking the update so far except for one problem... anyone who comes to your island with a wetsuit can jump off the airport dock and swim, which then gives them access to your entire island even if you had the airport area fenced off to prevent island access. That bothers me. I went to a lot of effort to create a fenced courtyard area encompassing the airport and my entire town center so people can come to buy from my stores, sell turnips, or visit safely without having access to my entire island and without me having to watch every single person that's visiting. Now, with a wetsuit, they can just jump off the dock and swim around the fencing. To keep people from accessing the rest of my island, I will have to limit visitors and stand there and watch so I can terminate the session if someone tries to jump, which is a hassle for me and for other visitors who aren't causing trouble. I hope Nintendo will fix that. They shouldn't allow anyone to jump from the airport dock. Anywhere else is fine, just not there. It creates security issues and with so many troublemakers out there, I can just see the complaints coming soon.
 
I like it. My first impression was not great because they fixed the secret waterfall glitch ☹️ sadness. But I got the mermaid closet and it's so pretty! It's iridescent! The swimming/diving is relaxing and creatures are plentiful. Haven't seen pirate Gulliver, but I like the items he gives.

I wish they would have added more things or fixed some annoying issues (why even address the 'good' glitches like the waterfall or clean video??) but overall I'm good with it. Also happy about some of the datamined data.
 
Glad that swimming is back, also super pleased that they fixed a glitch where wall lights on your southern walls don’t turn on until you turn the camera around to view them.
 
I like it but I'm not completely blown away or anything. I've never been super into diving so that's kinda meh for me but I love that Pascal is back and there's more furniture!
