Animal Crossing: New Horizons is here. Unfortunately, all the good, wholesome fun is marred by some insidious Nintendo shenanigans.
NE: "We're looking at ACNH and ACNL to determine which is the better game and how future entries can learn from both of them."
After the hype wore off during the height of COVID I found New Horizons disappointing compared to. Ew Leaf
NH gave us a lot more cool features but then took things away which they slowly drip fed us with poor updates
Crazy how much it sold and how popular it was during COVID and it got such terrible support
We need more control in the next game, the fact we couldn’t move the airport or town hall was ridiculous and certain items were randomised, like I could get a black lamppost unless a friend gave me one of his because mine were green.
In the end I still prefer New Leaf, one of the most important factors being the breakable tools. It gets pretty annoying when you have to keep making bug nets, fishing rods etc in New Horizons.
It came out at the perfect time and was completely abandoned save for a couple of small updates. Those months after release could have taken the game to a whole other level but I guess Nintendo wasn’t impressed with the number of active players.
The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?
Agreed. I think a lot of the AC: H sales have to do with early lockdown players!
I mean, I would've played it anyway. But I guess there's a lot of people who got into it because of the hype and their new found free time!
Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.
It's the Capcom method:
1. Add a new word to the end of the title and features that should've been expected first time around.
2. Charge full price for it.
3. Profit.
this is why i always say that Nintendo will always be fine. look at those numbers lol
and those are all first party games.
Two married costume designers share stories from a decade of traveling the globe with Nintendo.
Nintendo’s mobile efforts already proved that to be true
Whilst I understand the gripes.
For me, it works well for me and my 6 year old son. I think his own island would overwhelm him.
But with me being the "main person" he can take a backseat.
Nintendo is honestly the least ‘consumer friendly’ of the big three and I’ve lost interest in them since the Wii. Loved them growing up as a kid, but quite dislike Nintendo now.
I bought animal crossing for my Wife and thought I’d give it a go. Once I found out I couldn't start my own island, I decided I just won’t bother playing it at all.
They could have easily had the option to start your own or play on the existing console island. Instead they just tried to push people into buying multiple consoles.
The Nintendo fans who defend this type of horrible decision, do you think all games should allow just one save on a console across multiple profiles with no option to have your own save? Imagine jumping into Zelda and having to pick up the game where another console profile left off. How utterly ridiculous.
Nintendo has always been this way.. they put on a front of being family friendly but are the least family friendly out of the big three. Their aggressive defending of their IPs is the icing of the cake.They make amazing games but everything else leaves so much to be desired, many of their upper management belong in museums with their mentality to things like youtube content creators in the past. Things like this and the Pokemon service they recently added exposes Nintendo for what they really are, even EA would be blushing at this level of milking.
