I wish they had an update for personalities and dialogue 🤦🏾♀️
i cant wait
I hate the girl in this video
Why not 60fps?
Is there still an update in March? I missed it.
Wtf happened to Resettis voice?! Why does he sound like a GIRL?? They emasculated him 😭😭
Can we please get the ability to send items to storage from our pockets? I hate having to run back to the house when my pockets get full bc I hit rocks and chopped wood😭
Can you guys… like, add the sunniness emote back in? It was in every game but new horizons, yet the villagers can use it. Put it in, like, a new reaction pack gotten from nookstop.
30fps in 2026 is a crime
Capped at 30fps… yikes
PLEASE GIVE US MORE DESIGN SLOTS
I love the upgrade on switch 2 but if only this game had 60fps after all the Wii animal crossing game ran at 60fps.
Does anyone actually have a switch2 switch 2 version of this game here? I wouldn’t mind friends but I have no camera yet
Why are people hyping this up, this is why you won't get another animal crossing for 4 more years
"Took us 6 years to add bulk crafting. That'll be $70"
NO WAY THIS DROPPED JUST AS I GOT INTO ACNH AGAIN LMAO
Wait so u can’t have facilities or villager homes on dream islands? Whats the point?
I just realized you need to be online AND have an online subscription to play the new dream island, even for solo play. 😐
Why is mine still is the old one like why isn’t it updating
I need to remove cyd because of it cydfredrick apostol
Nintendo thanks BUT…Can we put in the damn new dream islands the villagers houses to decor and keep there? Is so difficult to do? Those new dream islands are USELESS like they are now… Why also we can't share them in dreams? And why we got so few new objects for decoration? Is strange they added so few… And WHY we can't yet buy all clothes together!?
And why don't put different object for festivities every year?
Yeah a lot of "why"…
About the megaphone you simply need to speak really fast the villager name,and it works everytime.
I've always wondered if there was going to be an update for your character to fly all over the island like Peter Pan, probably makes it easier to travel faster on your island.
