Quick question to anyone reading this; I already have this game on my Switch, but if I get and switch two and find to upgrade pack, will be data be saved or do I have to play this game all the way from scratch?
They released the "final update" and 4 yrs later they releasing a new one
"Thats a lie"
so we’re getting happy home on our main island now?
i'm gonna cry
will the switch 2 edition be able to play with the switch 1 edition?
Si me regaran una Nintendo 2 les hago un montón de videos jeje, pero me encanta todo 10 nuevo que va haber, estoy emocionado!!! Gracias
Wait, so the ‘paid’ switch 2 edition upgrade is literally just resolution, native controller support, native camera support and native mic support and taking advantage of better networking? You can’t be serious. That’s all stuff that you’d expect to naturally work when running the software on a more capable system. Microsoft didn’t charge for Xbox one X upgrades for 4K and HDR support. Nintendo has only gotten away with their upgrades because they have been bundling in DLC content to add to the game as well, this time you get a megaphone, and the peripherals for your system actually work now lol. Good stuff
10:42 GAHHH THIS IS SO GOOD
This game is already too beautiful. I hope they add new fishes sea creatures and insects and I hope bring back the Mario Collab that was awesome. This is a epic and adorable trailer 😊👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥
when i get the notification i was going to cry in the school
Why do you have to “replace” the old Zelda and splatoon villagers with new ones? Literally why can’t you just give us old AND new? I don’t understand the point. So disappointed, I really wanted wolf link villager and now all we get are 2 “new” villagers even if we have wolf link amiibo etc. 🙄
D-DAD! YOU GOT THE MILK?!
Please make it so that when someone is visiting or leaving an island, allow us to skip the cutscene of watching that process. It's very annoying
Updates animal crossing should have: hot air balloon rides, a gummy bear character, a boat you can ride (even in ur ponds) from one section or your island to another, cars and bikes you can drive.
where is Cece, Viché, Epona, Felyne, Ganon, Inkwell, Medli, and Wolf Link??
WE JUST CASUALLY DROPPING THIS IN 2025 AFTER IN 2021 "last big update guys." EXCUSE ME???
8:03 my islands name is dreamland lol
…okay but it's been years. We really should be getting a new game instead of this
Did this just heal something in me?
THIS IS GONNA BE LIT!!! but if we are getting a new update on ACNH, and they said 4 years ago that was the final update, then i hope we get a switch 2 update for SMM2 (super mario maker 2)
I’ve needed resetii since forever because of too much flowers and weeds
Sleeping on a lego bed is diabolical…
2:15 watering the grass? Wtf
This channel is exactly what I needed I learned a lot from it.
