Posted April 20, 2020 You're right... I thought I nabbed a blue tulip but it is, in fact, purple according to the description. I was like what are you on about, purple?? Sure these (remaining) tulips are all black! I cannot attach the dug up purple tulip to a letter so open your gates and I'll come replant it in a hidden location on your island.

(I bet I find someone on my island crafting it in the coming days...) The only fall-out I expected was some "top bants" over me whiffing a few efforts with the shovel because I was at my desk playing in handheld mode with joy-con drift in full effect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2020 A lot of stuff has been datamined from the game. I'll put the details in spoilers for those who don't want to know what is possibly on the way. Spoiler Lots of features that are seemingly coming in future updates have been datamined in ACNH. In a nutshell: - Crazy Redd's black market is coming back, supposedly its now a ship that will dock on the secret beach north of your island - There are two museum upgrades planned, all levels of the museum upgrades contains an art section (there currently arent any arts in the game) - Two standalone buildings: museum shop and museum gyroid cafe. Those are probably the museum upgrades and not actually standalone buildings but that's how it is said on the code. - Six types of bushes that aren't in the game yet: Azalea, Hibiscus, Holly, Hydrangea, Camellia and Osmathus - Unused shop interface, similar to the Nook Miles redemption menu, called "cGardening" - New type of plant: vegetables. Can be grown and picked up. There currently are Tomato, Potato, Carrot, Pumpkin, Wheat and Sugar - Two versions of the play report are unused yet: ‘get_recipe_clothing’, and ‘get_recipe_cooking’. It indicates that we may be able to get clothing and cooking recipes in the future (and also that we'll be able to cook at all) - Diving is seemingly coming back because an additional section of the Critterpedia with 33 additional items, including the existing manila clam, is present in the files. There's already space reserved in the save files for this feature - A second Nook Cranny's upgrade is present in the files - More Nook Miles achievements, door customs etc. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2020 Ooh. Some of those look interesting. People were too eager to moan about everything not in the game. I think having these added over time is just going to lengthen a game that is already in line for a long shelf life. Let’s just hope it continues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2020 Content that's already in the game locked behind patches (or worse...DLC)? Or 7 years of development weren't enough to put these things into the game day-one. Which is worse? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I will gladly take any content they are adding. Spoiler At first glance, I really like the possibility of them making use of the secret beach, and it is going to be interesting to see how vegetables are incorporated into island life. I am going to need more land to farm! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erm? - They haven't been working on this game for 7 years, it's pretty irresponsible to suggest that - Nintendo have been great at releasing free content updates all throughout the Switch's life. - They obviously want to give this game a long life and give people new stuff to do each month - Why does it have to be phrased so negatively "content that's already in the game and locked behind patche!1!!", sounds like something from ResetEra. Aaaanyway.... Thanks for spoiler-ing the datamine @Hero-of-Time, happy to just wait and see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got my island set out how I like it and if all of this new stuff starts getting added then it's going to ruin my set up. I mean, are we going to have to keep remodelling the island every time they decide to drop an update? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think having these added over time is just going to lengthen a game that is already in line for a long shelf life. Let’s just hope it continues. To be honest though it's just artificial lengthening, and I guess if you don't have an internet connection then you're excluded from this content. Some of the time-gated events that are currently in the game also require an internet connection to even trigger (e.g. Bunny Day), which left Glen out in the cold. Which might actually be a blessing, but still... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did people really think this was all there would ever be. My main complaint is that they took things out only to seemingly add them back in via updates. Imagine if they had this content in the game to begin with (like it was in New Leaf with Redd and more shop upgrades). If that was all there to begin with, all their updates/new content from now on would therefore be even more new stuff on top of this.

I like that what they went with is snappier than sitting down to play an entire board online, but who cares if there is only five or seven minigames available!

Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) It probably just wasn’t done in time. The game had already received a hefty delay from its original 2019 release date and they probably figured that cutting the year-long events and then putting them back in as time goes on would be fine, since they’re not supposed to be accessible yet anyway. Basically the Splatoon strategy... which makes sense considering that Splatoon and Animal Crossing share many of the same staff!

This has always been my stance, no matter the console or game. But you'll surely have expected them to update the game with new content every month or two, they even said they would be doing it. That's why I haven't terraformed my island in the first month and left half of it open to development. Edited April 20, 2020 by Ronnie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, yes, obviously you can say well they should give us even more content now, and even more more content later. With all the new features that New Leaf didn't have like terraforming, crafting and placing objects outside I've never been short of stuff to do so far. Anyway, whatever, it's just interesting how more free content can be turned into a bad thing by some I've not read the datamine and I'm excited by new stuff being introduced bit by bit.
