Ep. 207: Every New Character Coming to New Horizons Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

The Animal Crossing New Horizons Direct confirmed a lot of characters would be coming to New Horizons once the update hits. We decided to take a look at all the special characters and villagers that will be making their debut to the game. The special characters will provide some new activities and gameplay features for us to enjoy while the villagers will provide more personality around our islands. We discuss their history in the series and give the few details we know about their role in New Horizons. We also ask our Patreon supporters who their favorite villagers are.

Ep. 206: How to Prep for New Horizons 2.0 Update Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

We're still recovering from the amazing Animal Crossing New Horizons Direct so we thought we'd talk about it more. This week, we go over some of the things we felt were missing from this update and anything we would've liked to see. From there, we start thinking about playing the update and preparing our islands for all of the new stuff. We share our tips to getting Nook Miles, Bells, and addressing areas on your island to make room for all the fresh items. Finally, we talk more about the announcements our patrons loved.
