Which future updates are you hoping for?

- more hair colours [specifically light brown like others mentioned]
- placing more furniture types outside [e.g. rugs]
- more house exterior options
- cafe
- crafting from storage
- crafting in bulk
- i know this will prob never happen, but i'd love it - the ability to decorate ponds, maybe even rivers [e.g. placing reeds or something in the pond].
 
This might make my storage fill up fast but I'd like more hand held items that aren't tools or wands.

I'm dressed up as a zombie nurse and I was thinking, "man I wished I had a clipboard to hold."
 
Adding the New Leaf content back is nice and all but it’s a tad disappointing that the updates have basically just been slowly giving us New Leaf content. The only pieces of original content that comes to mind imo is May Day and Pumpkins

Spice things up a bit! Cooking and more vegetables seems to be obvious for the upcoming Thanksgiving update. I’ve also had a spot saved for Brewster’s Cafe since launch so I’m getting sad not having that yet. More esoteric events like May Day would also be a welcome change too.

Adding a mix of the City and Tortimer’s Island would also be cool imo, I’ve been thinking that maybe a “market island” you could go to where a bunch of new shops could be, as well as the option to “go with others” where it would be an online player hub you could interact with other people on. Even if you couldn’t use the keyboard to communicate with others, it would still be cool to be able to see others and maybe even play mini games with them.
 
Agreed. I especially miss the light brown in previous games. The lightest shade we currently have is that auburn color and like several shades of dark brown/black. It’s weird how we have had that light brown even in Pocket Camp but not in New Horizons.
Yes it is weird they did not bring back some of the lighter hair colors. Light brown was pretty in new leaf.

I would love more handheld items. The villagers can walk around with a book why can’t I.
 
I’d like more orderable furniture as well as non-orderable. I’d like the Sweets set, Gorgeous, Rococo, Sloppy, 7-11 back along with some new (and hopefully better sets). I’d like as much of the HHD Items as possible and their original skin (I liked the old wooden school desk appearance from HHD better than what they recycled and reused).

Features: Bulk buying. Not being able to buy more than what you can wear in the dressing room in able really sucks and is annoying. Also, having to go all the way back to your house and have to dig through the storage space to find what you bought.

Extra storage space. House room size expansion.

Cooking! Need food items bad; more so the decorative but would love some consumable to give us buffs like increased swim speed, undetectable when catching bugs, treasure hunter (find more rare stuff in the ground even if not normally found there or something like that), and a chance to fail at cooking. Decorative/usable Recipes and books you can put on empty bookshelves and remove and use (without it disappearing) at any time.

Let me hang up designs at Able’s without needing someone to remake them and/or come to my island to hang them up.

NPCs:

Gracie - I had a lot of fun with her challenges and I loved her furniture and clothes. Idk what they’d do for clothes since some of them have been turned in able’s like the argyle stuff. I want my sandwich shirt back and to be able to chstomize furniture with the shirts (and custom design outfits like in HHD).

Reese & Cyrus: Some items that were customizable in NL aren’t in NH like the antique bed, or have less options than they had in HHD. Would like the options we had back then plus a bit more like the chalkboards: I’d like to change the wood color and/what is on the chalkboard.

Lottie, Lyle, Digby: I don’t want the game to give me total freedom to make even the interior of all of my villagers how I want, but would love some option to decorate, shop for them (with their money), as well as get rid of items they have in their house we don’t want without needing to kick them out via amiibo and reinvite them.

Katie: I’d like katie to visit again with her mom :). Katie is so adorable and I loved the items she gave us.

Will post again if I think of more. :)

Please less wands and clothing and more furniture

Also: Brewster with not just coffee but pop, pastries, sandwiches - furniture & consumables.

Missed Harvest Day and Toy Day, but would love to experience them and see Franklin and Jingles. I just really don’t want any more wands or too many clothes from them if any.
 
Updates that move Leif, Kicks, and Label either into their own buildings or into existing buildings.

In general, I just want more progression. More upgrades to buildings, more things to unlock over time. I have a second switch, but I'm waiting to start a second island until there is more progression in the game so I'm not caught up to my main island after just a month.

More furniture, obviously. Ideally tied to nook's cranny expansions. Unlike most, I don't care if we get NL stuff back. I want new stuff more. But I'll take anything.

More new special NPCs. Yes, I want the old ones back, but I want to meet new characters.

Gyroids.
 
Man I'd love all of these in the game! Especially more furniture items, NPCs like Gracie and Katrina, mini-games, more villager interaction, and some quality of life ones. Another thing I'd love would be for some of the items to be more interactive, like being able to use the swimming pool, arcade games, teacup ride, etc. It seems like we might be getting food dishes in a future update and it would be nice to be able to use the kitchen items for that rather than just using DIY tables and workbenches. Also I really wish we could make the side rooms in our houses bigger.
 
WOuld love to see more hairstyles added tbh! I just want some curlier hair man ><

Also, like everyone else, want NL items to make a reappearance-- I'm tired of using the same items in different colors LOL
 
I just want:
  • all the missing NPCs
  • Gyroids
  • all missing furniture (series) and items, as well as fruits and flowers
  • fortune cookies
  • expanded Gulliver items (NL was WAAAYYYY better)
  • ceiling decor
  • more outdoor landscaping items
  • more actions for the player (sitting, dancing, etc)
  • Nookling store upgrades
  • extensive home exterior customization
 
I'm so hoping for all the new leaf furniture to be brought back (mainly the food related stuff and tables) and buildings like Brewster's cafe, Police Station, and Post office to be brought back. I hate mailing letters 1 by 1 and having to go through long dialogue each time also only being able to order 5 items a day.
 
Gracie needs to return and bring back her furniture sets!
Would also love a new shop upgrade, extra storage space, and items that were in New Leaf that we haven't got yet!
I'd love if they would bring back the flea market as well. Buy items from villagers that makes their house look a mess. That would be fun to do as I wish we could do up their houses like in Happy Home Designer (well, at the very least organise some furniture placement).

Yes the post office needs to come back. It really does take awhile when you want to write to all your villagers. At least cut out some of the dialogue and have it ask if you want to send more letters. I miss being able to buy paper at nooks instead of postcards.
 
Like everyone else has said... more stuff to do online. I rarely ever open my island anymore (even less since they added Dreams back into the game), because there isn't anything to do online... especially anything you can't do while visiting an island via the Dreams... besides shopping, but then again someone can just easily mail you something or you can just wait for that item yourself.. or just visit and then leave. It really makes the game less about playing with other people, and more about the economy in the game.

I miss being able to go to Tortimer's island.. hell even the Bug Off/Fishing Tournys seem like downgrades to me. The Fishing Tourney is less of a tournament, and more of a smol minigame. There isn't a real winner. At least in previous games Chip would give only ONE Gold/Silver/Bronze trophy away each tourney. And you usually had to work to win the tourney. Kept the player coming back to the game that day just so they could win a trophy that week. And New Leaf even had a ceremony that happened from 1800 (6 PM) till 2000 (8 PM) on the day of the tourney (if you won a trophy and couldn't make it for the AWARDS CEREMONY then he would mail you the trophy), but at least you had to somewhat work for said trophy.

I would also like more things to farm, and the ability to separate my clothing storage from my home storage. Like make my clothing have its own storage that doesn't take up any space in my home storage. I have 1,600 slots for everything, but a good chunk of it is taken up by clothing alone... I wanna be able to store furniture, rugs, carpets, and wallpaper, but right now I can't really store more than five of each of those, because I have SO many clothing and materials in my storage. So let us buy upgrades to our storage that max out at say 10,000. I think 10,000 storage slots is more than enough. Hell I think even 5,000 MAYBE 8,000 is plenty as well, and along with the separate clothing storage.

Also let us order more than five items a day from the catalog... I really miss how in previous games there wasn't a limit on how much one can order from the catalog. I hate how I have to balance out the orders for my other characters with the orders for my main character. (I order from one catalog on my main character, and then just gift the items to my other characters).

I also wanna see the post office return or at least some way to have our orders be delivered twice DAILY. 0900 (9 AM) and 1700 (5 PM). That's how it was in the previous games. It makes less sense how this game is more restrictive with time than previous games, when previous games had less for one to do with the furniture they purchased each day. A lot of people can make quick minor improvements to their islands if the mail came twice every day. I also miss talking to Pete, and hearing about how he was doing and his thoughts towards the pelicans running the post office.

I wanna see Leif be able to get his own shop at some point. It makes sense that he'd start out as a traveling merchant. I think a lot of people are forgetting that our islands start out as deserted islands. HELL WE HELPED BUILD NOOK'S CRANNY! You expect me to believe that the other merchants should just magically want a shop on YOUR island?! I think it is fun to see them want to build a shop on your island after you prove your island's worth to said merchant.

For Leif it could be if you have planted, watered, and grown X-amount of hybrids, then he will see that there is promise on your island, and that you and the other residents care about nature, which then makes him feel a kinship with you and your islanders... which of course leads him to wanting a shop on your island.

For Kicks it could be the amount of footware and backpacks you purchase from him. He then sees a market for the stuff on your island, and says that he made a deal with The Able Sisters, and asks if you want him to team up with them to help them sell more stuff.

Lable would be similar, but it would be with how well your character is dressed, and how close you are with her sisters.

Gracie can return, but instead of her car from the GameCube Animal Crossing (yes she was a traveling character back in the first Animal Crossing.. hell she was even a traveling character in Wild World.) She has a boat that she uses to sell her wares. If the player purchases enough of her clothes, and is fashionable enough, then she teams up with the Nooklings and sets up a shop on the second floor of Nook's Cranny.

I would like to see Hariette make a return, even though I probably will never use any of the hair styles/colours she brings, but I do think it would be awesome to see her make a return in some form... Hell they can even have Mii Masks make a return through her. I maybe in the minority with this, but I did like the Mii Masks in City Folk and New Leaf, and I would love to see them return.

Maybe the way you get her to return would be by changing your hairstyle up enough times with a mirror, and showing off your desire for new hair styles... then she visits your island one day, and asks if you are willing to test out one of the new hair styles/colours she came up with. After she visits 3 times, then on the 4th time she asks if you want her to set up a shop somewhere on your island.

Katrina can just be a traveling merchant. I liked it better that way.

Roost should return, but I'd prefer it to be a separate building.

Other than what I listed above...

I would love to have the ability to bulk buy NMT from the machine (i rarely ever purchase them, but it would be nice if I ever need to go to a ton of NMT Islands), and to bulk craft stuff. Hell I would love to have access to the materials in my home storage WHILE I AM IN MY HOUSE! I don't want to randomly have access to that stuff WHILE OUTSIDE.. it would make 0 sense to me. Sure it would be handy, but it would make less sense. In the most I want to pull from my materials from my home storage while I am in my house while crafting.

I would also LOVE to see Desert Island Escape make a return. That game was fun in both Amiibo Festival and New Leaf's Welcome Amiibo. Would be awesome to play that game on the Switch now though. Hell maybe they can make a multiplayer minigame that works with the Nintendo Switch furniture items.. And that could be how you unlock Nintendo-themed furniture. By doing well in those games.. or at least that can be ONE of the ways to unlock those furniture items.

Fortune Cookies should make a return, but WITHOUT microtransactions (i saw someone mention fortune cookies before on this thread, but I wanted to clarify that they should NOT bring Microtransactions with them). You can only buy 1 or 2 a day (works just like the candy does right now), and you get a random fortune, and it allows you to randomly get either a standard furniture item (from a dud fortune), or a Nintendo item (from a good fortune).

The ability to change the design on the grass. I miss the other grass patterns, and I hope we can change those patterns from triangles to either; circles or stars.

They should also add a DIY recipe for the Instrument Shelter item (a PWP from New Leaf that let the player see a weather forcast for that day any time). https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Public_Works_Projects?file=PWP-InstrumentShelter.png

Other than that... I can't think of anything else I'd like to see.
 
I still want the Gracie Grace furniture set and clothing pieces back. I'm not sure how she's going to come back or if she is but I really miss her. I also really miss the pelicans, and I wish that there would be an update in the future that would expand the airport and put in a post office section for Pelly and Pete and Phyllis? :( I think there's a fat chance of that happening though, unfortunately. Also, gyroids, to be stereotypical lol. I loved them in all the past games so it still feels horrible to not be able to have them. I hope they add more things we can grow like they did with the pumpkins, too. I'm not sure what exactly... But I'm sure they won't just leave it at pumpkins! I also hope that in the future, with the Christmas update, they add a way for us to put lights on our houses! I've always been obsessed with the idea of doing that lol so I just really hope they decide to put that in this one.
 
Aside from having all the ACNL furniture back (I miss you, food items), I really want Nintendo items back. I know were getting Mario ones next year, but I was hoping to get ALL of them back. It's also Zelda's 35th Anniversary, so I would like those back as well.

Another big thing is amiibo characters. I know some people were sticklers because they didn't fit the lore of Zelda, Monster Hunter, etc., but who cares??? Having Wolf Link, Medli and Epona in my town was AMAZING, and I loved all the furniture and items they brought in as well. Hoping those will return next year as well.

And finally, I think the last thing that would be kind of nice is a bike. And before anyone judges, DON'T. I think it would be nice to have an quicker way to get around the island; it doesn't have to be Sonic-Speed, but at least a little quicker than running. Also, how cute would it be to see villagers riding on bicycles of their respective sizes??
 
I wish building customization was a thing again. Allow us to repaint and restyle the airport, resident services, our house.... I want a castle and more color and door choices. Let us customize homes from day 1. Also would be nice to be able to customize our interior layout (room size and placements.) Customizable interior doors and curtains please (I dislike the big black holes.)

I'd like a Valentine's day event with the sweet furniture updated.

Kappn. Brewster. Katrina. Shampoodle with more styles, wigs, and colors.

More design slots.... and allow us to place designs as rugs and let us rotate it like in HHD. Outdoor rugs please!

Big Pocket Camp furniture or public works projects. A windmill, a rowboat, a swing that actually swings.... things that our villagers can interact with.

Sky bridges! The ability to build a bridge cliff to cliff and be able to walk under it.

I could go on, but those are my main wants.

I love this. :) Being able to ride a bike or drive around in a little kart or scooter would be fun.
