Nintendo may be listening to potential podcasts/game reviews/critical thinkpieces, but hell I wish they'd be a little more explicit in listening, even if the solutions and avenues they explore take time.
"We're listening, too" in their Twitter bio doesn't mean a hell of a lot to me, and it's hard to take seriously when every interview with a head honcho whether Reggie or Doug involves more spin than an airplane propeller. The only time I've seen them acknowledge listening to fans is to pacify the Animal Crossing community with more upgrades coming in the future in a small update in the Switch News section back in September.
I have to imagine the folks at NoA or NERD are desperate to say like “yeah we can acknowledge this criticism” but the moment they even so much as open their mouths Kyoto tightens the leash. All the messaging probably has to go through NCL and they’re usually like “just don’t say anything.”
Yep, I believe that's what happened to Harada and the Tekken community. Even if he wasn't 100% transparent, the dude will had probably gotten less hate if he had kept his mouth shut.Based on how gamers behave, it's easy to see why companies don't interact with the community that often. Gamers say they want transparency but often open discussion does little to satisfy them and it often gets employees harassed online.

Pretty much. That and Quality of Life changes.Animal Crossing: New Horizons' last paid DLC is Happy Home Paradise

I always found the "last major free content update" wording interesting. I guess that still leaves the door open for new seasonal stuff?
I've done community management for an indie game studio as a volunteer... yeah it's honestly not the best. Paid or not, I don't know if I'd go back to community management in gaming.Based on how gamers behave, it's easy to see why companies don't interact with the community that often.

The irony being that those people don't deserve their Animal Crossing, not simply because they're toxic scum, but because Animal Crossing is the most chill game ever so if you're going to be like that what are you even doing playing such a series.Hey anyone else remember when people upset at Animal Crossing New Horizons scared Aya Kyogoku off Twitter?

The new Animal Crossing update seems great, but it being the last makes me feel a little wistful about how many things are final.
There will never be:
- a third Nook's upgrade
- any minigames
- work at the café
- Dr. Shrunk, Lyle, Gracie, Copper, Booker, pelicans, etc
- more house upgrades (not that it needs them, but I'd have loved a mansion like in Wild World)
- more stuff
I could see more anniversary stuff released in the game as time goes on. For example, 2022 is the 30th anniversary of Wario. Maybe we get Wario themed merch.Animal Crossing: New Horizons' last paid DLC is Happy Home Paradise

what's interesting about V2 is that it finally brings some parity to older games in terms of some characters, features, and furniture. it doesn't feel like a completely new Animal Crossing that had things added to it, it feels like an Animal Crossing that has finally been finishedHonestly I think there’s enough in the update for me to put another few hundred hours in. Though I will say: there is a LOT “more stuff” coming in this update. The whole time my girlfriend and I were watching the AC Direct, we were just calling out stuff like “oh that furniture item is new” or “hey that’s back from New Leaf.”

It's coming together! I think the title I've come up with is actually pretty good! I told @Raccoon what it was and he hasn't blocked/muted/ignored me yet so I think that means it's, at the very least, not going to get me banned from this website.It's been a while since I've been in this thread, friends. I've missed you all. Are we pumped for ST2? Have you got it ready, @Derachi? NGL, I'm pretty excited to see what subtitle you give it, haha
Yeah, I get that. I have to wonder if the original release for ACNH was like, extremely rushed or something. It definitely felt like the stuff they're adding in now was supposed to be in the base game but they didn't finish it in time.what's interesting about V2 is that it finally brings some parity to older games in terms of some characters, features, and furniture. it doesn't feel like a completely new Animal Crossing that had things added to it, it feels like an Animal Crossing that has finally been finished

I wouldn't want to be spoiled! Ugh, I'm gonna have to stay up late on Sunday night, aren't INo, I won't tell anyone else what it is. You'll see what it is at exactly 12:01 AM Eastern Time on Monday November 1st 2021! I hope you look forward to it.
it's not about "every last" character, it's about any characterDo Animal Crossing fans really expect every character, feature, and piece of furniture to return to every game and without them, the game is somehow incomplete? New Horizons adds a lot of stuff that wasn't in other games and many people enjoyed the freedom it gave you. Adding in new features often comes at the cost of bring back old stuff. That has been true for games of a similar types to AC like the Sims. I certainly don't go into sequels expecting every last character, item, and location from all the previous games to show back up.
omg LOLpls put naked isabelle behind a nsfw tag racoon jesus fuck
Working at the cafe might still be a thing, as that was datamined a while back, but probably not. Nintendo did say that "You may experience this new content in various ways, some of them outside of what we've shown you today" in the Direct.The new Animal Crossing update seems great, but it being the last makes me feel a little wistful about how many things are final.

My trident was supposed to arrive by 7PM today, but as of this morning it was still in Pennsylvania. I wasn't surprised when the ETA updated to Monday but it was still disappointing
huh, the trident has entered the cooler Daniel
never seen that one before
oddly mine still insists it’s coming today, despite not being listed as on a truck or anythingMy trident was supposed to arrive by 7PM today, but as of this morning it was still in Pennsylvania. I wasn't surprised when the ETA updated to Monday but it was still disappointing

Is KFC really serious about their console stuffJust saw the news. Feel bad for the 100 employees there
Seems like it’s a Sales and Marketing office, and their SVP just accepted a position at KFC. Yes, Kentucky Fried Chicken.
