I logged on for the first time in a couple of years a few weeks ago because my daughter caught the itch to play again.
My avatar had a bear outfit on and a mask, lol.
Such a wild time 2020-2021 was. Anyhoo, I went fishing and tidied up a bit, pulling weeds. Ton of memories about that time.
Well and for ACNL it literally is the last day
(for online activities that is)I opened the article expecting to read about that and was surprised it was AC:NH
Isn't this still a wildly popular game? Is it closing?
It is not. This is the author's thoughts on what it will be like when eventually it gets shut down.
A nice read and a reminder of how strange lockdown was.
I would imagine someone will end up making some kind of service/app to connect to each other P2P with emulators, just as the old games have.
It's so freaking weird that Nintendo stopped supporting Animal Crossing New Horizons so early...Past games like New Leaf got so much support as it's such a damn cozy game! They had a truly magical situation where they could've kept people coming into Animal Crossing but blew it in the classic Nintendo style. Several DLC themed appropriately and expanding upon the in-game systems would've sold like hotcakes.
I'm just hoping it's not another 12 years for the next one.
I don't think it would be a problem when Nintendo would actually support it for longer than a year or two.
It's so strange how they didn't care with this one. New Leaf shipped with way more content than NH ever got and even received a massive update 4 years later. Meanwhile, NH doesn't even have a second upgrade for Nook's Cranny.
They could have hooked so many DLC into the pandemic crowd, but Nintendo does Nintendo things.
Imho, and I wrote that on Miiverse the other day, NH is just NL lite.
You want COVID 20 in 6 years? :P
It'd be Covid-30.
