Ep. 182: New Horizons Burnout May 11, 2021

Show notes

Nintendo has revealed the latest sales numbers for Animal Crossing New Horizons. These numbers represent their entire fiscal year and show how well New Horizons sold throughout the year. While the game has sold very well, a lot of players have felt burnt out on the game. We discuss our own burnout and how we're playing the game as of late. Finally, we talk about some other games that we've been playing outside of Animal Crossing. We also ask our patrons how they'd revamp the holidays.

Ep. 181: Fake Homes and May Day in ACNH May 04, 2021

Show notes

We have some new art to celebrate May 2021 on the podcast! This art comes from our new friend Ira. Look below the time stamps for their links to support their art! Nintendo has confirmed that the unidentified house in Animal Crossing New Horizons was a mistake and they removed the screenshot. We discuss that the house probably means nothing and no new villagers are coming. From there, we go over the May Day event and the new seasonal item available for Mother's Day. Nina also shares some of the new Animal Crossing merch that is available for us to purchase. Finally, we ask our patrons if they prefer indoor decorating or outdoor decorating.

Ep. 180: Are New Villagers Coming to New Horizons? Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

The next update to Animal Crossing New Horizons is right around the corner and we've gotten some details from Nintendo. Today, we go over all the returning events and the upcoming changes. While this stuff is familiar, we do get to see a small twist in each of the events. From there, we discuss a mysterious new house that has appeared in the promotional images. This house doesn't belong to any of the existing villagers so we ponder what it could mean. Are new villagers coming to New Horizons?
