Ha. I’ll have to share some of the other stuff on the Japanese site. New items include a megaphone and maracas

Dancing looks cool but it doesn't seem to be that much of a big update. And it's kind of been the same update since the summer one when swimming was reintroduced: collecting DIY recipes; catching leaf/snowflake/feather with net; guest NPC stands on main square and asks you to fetch something; etc.

While I am grateful the game is being updated, and why wouldn't it as it's probably sold over 30+ million copies by now, the DLC is feeling a bit same-y. I would have thought by now we would have more interesting things to do. The pier hasn't been used yet and I'm sure it will be. Even something like that treasure hunt challenge Rover organised last year would be fun to do. Even basic QoL changes (crafting more items in one go, etc) haven't been implemented.

Maybe they're waiting until March for the 1st anniversary to have a huge update.

You can get a mini Mr Ressetti figurine. That looks class.

Exactly! Should we say Justice (or Juicetice * In-game smirking expression*) for Brewster!

I only start playing in April so I missed the whole Easter bunny thing but I think that might be the first big test. I think smaller updates are fine but if they start just recycling them then I’m sure plenty more will get bored

For me there’s things like bug and fish models that I ignored when I needed the cash selling them that I can try and gather. Defo playing less now of course

Oh no don’t mention Bunny Day, I’m not sure I can do that again, unless they change it a bit. Or even if they change it :pac::pac::pac:

Yay Mermaid Fence!! Time to redo my island...

Pity the megaphone doesn't work like in the older games and I really wanted Brewster too. Hes the only pigeon in the world that doesn't terrify me!!!

The megaphone like it used to work would be such a great quality of life improvement. Could be even easier though if they put a thing in the Nookphone to allow you to check where the villagers are!

So the update today is the maracas (cool btw), 4 season items for sale in the nook app and the mermaid wall DIY available from Pascal, yeah?

Then the festival stuff on sale from February (including the dance reactions)

Seen a list of the new stuff and *most* is only available from February AFAIK?

EDIT - the megaphone we have for sale is the ‘fiery’ one. There’s 4 types. Don’t know if the others will become available

Yeah, it's probably the lightest update thus far. However, given that the Mario items are coming in March, it seems that the wait for the next update won't be as long. I could even see a video releasing late February showing off what Mushroom Kingdom goodies we'll be getting. Maybe Mario might be a surprise guest on the plaza? No, I don't think Nintendo would go for that.

I'm thinking/hoping there will be a big update on the game's 1st anniversary. Hopefully new buildings, quests, etc.

Anybody looking for the ‘famous’ [Mona Lisa] painting? I have one in the museum & one in storage & I think they’re both real, not sure what to do with the spare one.

You could call the villagers names and they'd respond, so you'd see a speech bubble of in whatever direction they were

The little one time travelled to Monday. The festivale furniture is on sale in the Cranny (bottom corner - 1 per day, can’t buy multiples). The clothes on sale in Able Sisters


The dance moves are hilarious. She sent me a million videos last night (and she was down to playing once every 3/4 days)

Does anyone have cosmos in their shop today?? Trying to grow the hybrids finally!!

TherapyBoy

Had a look earlier but no dice! I don’t think I’ve ever seen cosmos in my shop. I have a few scattered around, I could give you one or two of each if you needed them?

None in my shop but I’m almost sure I have some in storage. I’ll check in the morning & send them to you if I do.

Ankha the Egyptian cat is camping on my island today. Was all for her moving until she wanted to oust Katt! Not happening and I don't have the energy to go through all the dialog over and over to get my way!

rumplyconch

Thanks so much guys, ye are too sweet. No worries at all, I'm sure Leif will show up soon with seeds!! I was just getting notions!!!

Hate when campers don't pick the villager you want them to.... its like they know who you definitely don't want to leave!!

Bells21

I've had a look there and only hyacinth and windflowers in the Cranny today here. I thought I had some in storage but none there either.

TherapyBoy

I’m pretty sure the only reason I have any cosmos at all is cos a Boardsie gifted them to me at the start of my AC journey so I’m happy to help anyone any way I can.

•ahem•

Anyone looking for a pyramid?

We've had Ankha on our island for a while now, quite like her tbh!

Sent you 10 red & 10 yellow cosmos but I can only send you 2 letters per day. I have 10 white as well, if you want to pop over for them let me know otherwise I can post them to you tomorrow.
