Which future updates are you hoping for?

[kirbye]

Other than the data-mined ones like Brewster and vegetable farming, are there any specific updates you are most hoping for? Personally I really want to be able to customize the exterior of buildings like we could in NL. I'd also love to be able to place rugs outdoors, some new paths, and to be able to customize fences to be different colors like the white simple wooden fence in the trailer!

 

[niko@kamogawa]

I am sure people are going to shout "Brewster" here.

For my case, I just want new furniture sets like the gorgeous and princess series. (I am happy that Nintendo gave us back the entire mermaid set.)

And lastly, I am crazy about storage space! It's the only simple update that I want.

 

[Fenix]

I'm really expecting more upgrades for the shop! Just one is so little, we used to have a lot more in WW and NL. I also wants Gracie's set back, since I loved the gorgeos and sweet ones. Other than that, any new improvement or thing we used to have in NL and no longer have is welcome here.

 

[justina]

I agree and want more furniture, Pocket Camp has so much cute stuff why can’t NH? Also maybe some updated villager dialogue would be nice

 

[bebebese]

Pretty much everything you listed, as well as a Nook's Cranny upgrade, and the return of more furniture sets.

 

[Corrie]

BREWSTER

I'd love for the regular series (sweets, classic, ranch, etc) to come back. Same with all the clothes/accessories too (hairbow wig, etc)

 

[azurill]

I would like more furniture like the sweet set. Also more storage and a way to store flowers and bushes. Would love another nooks cranny upgrade.
Edit I want this candy house from new leaf. It would look great outside. I have it on display in the second floor museum since it’s looks to big in the house.

 

[cats_toy]

Everything NL had and more!

 

[Sheep Villager]

New and returning furniture as others have mentioned is my biggest wish but number two would be an April Fools event update.

It felt so empty not having Blanca show up. I guess maybe they were working on bunny day this year so they didn't have the time to implement another event so close to it.

Katie returning would be a neat update too since I feel NH has a much more stable and active online.​

• furniture update bringing back all the old sets and items from NL. there are so many good ones missing and i know a lot of people have pointed out the lack of food items in particular.
• returning NPCs. they can all be brought back in one way or another, let's face it, whether it's with the same/similar mechanics or entirely new ones. doesn't mean they all have to be, of course, but most can.
• rugs outside. ceiling furniture. cliff decoration. i'd low-key love to see the indoor ambiance feature from HHD return.
• nook's cranny upgrade(s). i don't know how or why we're still only on one. i've seen the excuse that they want us to see all the seasonal outdoor decor but, with both hemispheres combined, we've now seen them all so-
• tortimor's island with the mini-games and the tropical shop/kapp'n's family.

 

[Watchingthetreetops]

cafe! I really want the cafe back

 

[Imbri]

I want the game to not turn into NL on an island.

A building for Brewster would be nice.

Expand the shops and maybe bring some of the plaza NPCs inside, even on a rotating basis.

Villagers able to visit your house.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record: Furniture!!

And something substantial that isn't just catching up to where New Leaf was years ago. Growing pumpkins is a great start, I just hope they do more with that system than a once a year event.

 

[Khaelis]

Eh... nothing major really comes to mind. It seems like Nintendo is slowly bring back all the usual things we're use to slowly over the coarse of the year, considering we're getting both the Thanksgiving and Christmas update late next month. Anything I would like already appears it will be added, namely farming veggies. The datamine and the pumpkins being added with the Halloween update, it kinda just confirms that they'll be used in some form or another.

I suppose furniture sets returning and some small quality of life updates would be nice. I'm not gonna fuss over it, though. I just don't really want the game to get too overwhelming.



In the end, wanting something creates expectations and having expectations not getting met can cause disappointment and such.

Just look at the Smash Bros community.

 

[Sarabelle]

It's small, but in addition to everyone else's thoughts, I want to see igloos return for winter campers. I always thought that was a cute touch and it's been in every installment of the game.

Maybe in the winter update

 

[Envy]

For the late November update, I really hope they add the ability to decorate our houses with Christmas lights, and also have the villagers do the same, along with Nook's and Town Hall.

 

[Nefarious]

Besides old stuff returning, which is to be expected, I can't think of any other features or mechanics they could add that are new and greatly impacts the series.

Pre-release all I could think was if they added farming, which they actually did, surprised the heck out of me when it was first datamined. From other life simulator games, I think all they are missing is a "dating" mechanic (Likely dubbed "Best Friend" here), but they would have to revamp villager dialogue and interaction to make it at the very least decent.

 

[toadsworthy]

MORE VILLAGERS

 

[trashpedia]

I would actually like a Pocket Camp update where they add furniture items from Pocket Camp. Other than that, I would also like fi they added some NL features back (or at least the furniture as well) but since NH is meant to be a new take ono the game, I doubt that'll happen unfortunately.
