I mean, the next AC game would be *lucky* to reach 30 mil. ACNH’s numbers will likely never be touched, the combination of Switch Effect and pandemic launched it into the stratosphere
Having played since Wild World ,I love the graphics and island design in NH but I miss the life sim socialness of the game, I just want more dialogue and less repetition because that gets old so fast!
@@winxeristhe older soundtracks had a super unique sound (especially the gamecube tracks.) i just think the ACNH soundtrack is a bit generic when compared.
I'm quite pessimistic that AC will ever go back to it's roots again. They dialed down the sassiness of the villagers with each title in the series to what we got now. Sadly NH did too well and i guess they will draw the false conclusions and release even more dollhouse-gameplay that is shallow than actually make the island, the NPCs and Villagers interesting again.
I really would love to set into a village again, with maybe "this one neighbor" you just hate, cause he is rough & sassy. But at some point his character changed and you start liking him. I want to be a villager, like all the others. I dont want to be "God", who decides wich villager is living in wich place, moving their houses at 2 am, dont allow them to move out and changing their Houses, Decorations and all... NH feels more like a clunky Mapeditor, then an animal crossing game. They should bring us Happy Home Designer 2 - with all the Stuff from NH and turn AC6 into a more New Leaf experience, with more focus on NPCs, activitys, minigames, dialouges, BUILDING up friendships etc.
I'm worried for the future of the series. New Horizons sidelined the stuff that I loved about these games in favor for decorating. All the praise the game has been getting and major points of criticism seem to be around the "Free updates," which makes me feel like the team itself most likely are going to double down on the aspects that I disliked most. I'm hoping that's not the case, and that they'll use New Horizon's engine as a basis for the future- but I'm going to have to see what the new game is like before I say if I'm even excited for it or not. One thing I feel is for certain is that AC6 probably won't sell as well as New Horizons did, given that it had a boost due to the circumstances at the time.
I feel like the best route to take Animal Crossing 6 is by having it be a combination of what made both New Leaf and New Horizons great as those are the best games in the series of all time. I would like it if the next game returned to living in a town with much better character interactions while keeping the decorating aspects like terraforming and placing furniture outside.
Between TOTK getting a whole year for polish and Mario Wonder having no set development timeline, I'm hoping the the next big Animal Crossing gets enough time to be a complete experience at launch. So much to build off of with New Horizons, and I really hope they nail the vibes and atmosphere this time. Side note, your editing continues to get sharper with every upload!
Now this, THIS is a video I have been waiting for. I love your AC content man, it is just the best. Your New Horizons opinions have always been the best takes in the modern AC community. Thank you for spreading the truth and expressing what a lot of us - and for a long time, it felt like such an unusual minority - have been feeling since the release of the disappointment that was New Horizons.
I think a big thing is certainly adding more character to the well characters of the game. Something people loved about the originals is that they actually were somewhat interesting to talk to whereas in the newer games there’s just nothing there. I watched a video by someone playing it more recently and they had barely spoken to their villagers at all. It’s just more boring and pointless so it’s why people end up just caring about aesthetics more than anything.
7:00 100% couldn’t agree more. NH should have had everything from NL from the get go. It sucks we still don’t even have everything back. NH felt more like a different branch off CF instead of continuing off NL if that makes sense
i want to feel positive on AC's future given they have a blueprint on how they can improve NH's core mechanics and QOL, but i can easily see them getting too comfortable and putting less work in now they they know what they can get away with. the update model is guaranteed to stay and if splatoon is anything to go off by, it could be average/underwhelming. simply finishing the game than adding to it terraforming and island decorating are great addition but i hope they focus on the in-game community aspect again. everything is so disconnected with NPCs having less to do and say (tho id argue villagers still say interesting things, but you really gotta hunt for it like in the DLC or museum)
I just hope the next Animal Crossing comes up with a way to show new fans why so many people were passionate about the previous entries. Whether that's mini-games, mean villagers, loading times less than an hour- their next approach will be exciting nonetheless.
they need to bring the city back 🙏🏼 or do something like stardew where you can pick what kind of area you can live in like a forest, farm, mountains, city, by the ocean i would love that
I’d like a more open-ish world. Where you’re a traveling happy home designer. Getting inspiration for new furniture as you travel the country and meet different types of villagers from different types of communities. Maybe throw in a survival type of gameplay where you’re mostly just foraging for resources to build the furniture. Opening up further ideas for furniture while you’re at it.
Given that they now basically had 4+ years with the engine and most assets already done I really hope we don't see such a barebones release version again.
Cautiously optimistic for AC's future. NL was bred out of the disappointment people felt after CF, so I think that means the next game will be a banger.
I actually didn't mind the way content came out with ACNH, my problem becomes more evidence when I tried a new play through. You're basically forced to rush day to day activities in order to unlock landscaping, proper path laying, etc. You should really be able to do those things without needing to fill your map with villagers and get a certain ranking. It would be nice to get your map going, having a core group of maybe 3-4 villagers and really get to know them.
They basically catered more toward the female base with the decorating and all being such a big point. I just want a campy/city feel with bulk crafting and a more diverse dialogue from villagers.
@@AS-cs9gisame, but I get what he's saying because there are a lot of mainly female players who only care about the aesthetics and designing aspects instead of anything else
6:20 couldn’t agree more, i don’t know how anyone can look at new horizons and say it was made by lazy people who didn’t care about the final product. there’s so much love and care put into that game, even with its many flaws let’s hope nintendo takes the criticism NH got to heart and gives the dev team as much time as they need to put out a properly finished game, like they’ve done for their other juggernauts like mario and zelda. it pays off!
I just am sad cause I don’t think I’ll be able to buy another animal crossing game because it reeally expensive in my country so I will have to stick to new horizons, but I sure hope that they will give more personality to the villagers cause I hate searching for a villager for ours just so they will have the exact same dialogue as another villager
i completely agree i’m really unsure and worried about the future of the series! the community gave a lot of critique for new horizons, but as you said, it was the biggest selling animal crossing game, so who is nintendo going to listen to? the money or the fans? i fear animal crossing may go the direction of just a decorating game and will never be the same. which is SO sad cause there’s NO game like animal crossing
By far the biggest issue, is just making the whole game a creative mode. The charm of the series is to have things out of our control. Neighbors who come and go on their own, not a predictable schedule, and a world that feels overall like it continues even when you aren’t playing. The game just feels like a very algorithm where we are a god working along side it. Boring.
I will only be interested in a new Animal Crossing if they lean much more into the life sim aspect and less into the sandbox aspect, but I feel that will be highly unlikely, so this series sadly won't be for me anymore.
I'll be honest, I love the concept of Animal Crossing, but Everytime I try to play I just wish I was playing Stardew Valley instead 😔 The villagers designs are all so cool though 🥺
If by "influential" you mean "forgettable cash grab", I agree 100%. NH is a hollow shell compared to any previous Animal Crossing game. The first game was truly influential. Wild World was influential. New Leaf was influential. NH took all of the fun features and character interactions that were built into the games up to that point and smashed them head first into a brick wall. Brain-dead characters. Ugly, limited clothing. Crafting that became tedious after a very short time. That awful terraforming without enough props to allow you to truly create some amazing landscapes. So many half-finished ideas they rushed out to take advantage of people being stuck at home for COVID...I hope the next AC game released corrects these awful mistakes. NH was the first Animal Crossing game I actually sold after a year, I was so bored by its empty world.
Influence ≠ quality. ACNH is my least favourite Animal Crossing game but underselling its impact doesn’t accomplish anything. New Horizons’ success sparked a whole new life sim uprising in the indie space, completely shifted the dynamic of Nintendo’s top selling franchises, and created an actual cultural phenomenon. These are factors that will 100% pave the series’ future. Influence is defined by impact, not by whether you and I consider it to be as good as it’s predecessors.
one of the things that genuinely astounds me is how this game supposedly wants players to focus entirely on island decoration, but they didn't even bother adding more types of bridges, ramps, paths, etc their motto of thinking the players should invent their own content is downright disgusting
the future of animal crossing are games with even less content releasing and being abandoned after an update or two oh and you can forget life sim, everything will revolve around dollhouse decoration
Saying this isn't the responsibility of the devs is being delusional when new horizons launched as it did and focused on what it did because kyogoku and nogami clearly focused on building aspects more than life sim. Not everything is corporate even more when things people complain aren't done by executive. It's creative decisions and most of the problems people see are... That, not executive decisions per se
The developers’ vision was clearly wider than the time they were given to complete the project. Terraforming was New Horizons’ primary big new draw - it makes complete sense that upon realizing their ambitions were beyond their timeframe, they’d focus on completing the thing that set the game apart from its predecessors. I can’t fault the team for choosing to direct their focus somewhere when directing it everywhere would be impossible under the time they had. I never claimed that the devs have no responsibility in the game they create, but that ACNH’s launch quality isn’t something I’d blame on them. If they had a Mario Wonder-esque loose deadline, I’m certain things would’ve been a lot fuller.
Absolutely this. The director was new for this game and although her work on New Leaf was clearly of a good quality she was clearly inexperienced going into a directorial role and her vision wasn't in line with Katsuya Eguchi, the original creator and artist of Animal Crossing, and his intention with the games. People need to accept that this game released in a way it did for a reason, and it wasn't entirely the corporate structure of Nintendo to blame, although I do think that plays a role, because a noticeable pattern with Nintendo since Iwata and during the Switch era has been a shift in strategy to releasing unfinished games and finishing them over time under the disguise of "free updates." So while I agree the directors had a role in the disappointment of New Horizons, their vision clearly wasn't truly fulfilled due to Nintendo's new business model (although this widens the debate because you could argue that these Devs had absolutely years - they said they started pre-production in 2012! - which means there was no excuse for releasing content as franchise-old as The Roost over a year and a half later after release.
@@Wackaz nah this is athing that happened with iwata as well it literally began with splatoon lol its also not how most of their titles work and even acnh having less than previous games still had more than enough content for 60
@@WackazIsao Moro was one of the directors for New Leaf (he also worked on previous AC games) but he's left Nintendo now. He had zero part in New Horizons. Obviously we will never know, but I wonder if the magic left with him.
It’s a shame because they could have made new horizons so interesting If they expanded on Main Street or just added the old features to the new game. It’s just lost its personality which is so sad
I have a lot of ideas for a future Animal Crossing game. I would call it Animal Crossing: New World. It would have... - High quality RTX graphics with characters like Tom Nook, Lolly, and Isabelle looking fuzzy. - Full first-person 360 camera - Every item ever (including lemons) - Every character ever - Every building upgrade ever (and new upgrades, such as upgrading Nook's Cranny to a big box store) - Ability to have at least 50 villagers in your town - Ability to interact with a lot more items (Ex: using boats, cars, surf boards, pools, bath tubs, and bikes), including for NPCs - Ability to share towns between multiple systems, and have multiple towns on a single system (such as the ability to share towns with your family) - More than just the option of your town being an island - So much more
what is RTX to you fuzzy effects are just texture trickery if you have video memory to spare then those are computationally cheap the camera would go against the aesthetics of the game more content is not a new idea and making the game more resource intensive is not a new idea either every game map has barriers and the ocean is the most elegant way to go about it having your island hosted on a server would be a neat idea if servers did not cost money
New Horizons only sold so well because it released during the pandemic. I don't think it would have earned that much if it had released normally. Worst game in the series imo, only thing that was good about it was the island customisation. Brewsers, downgrade from NL. Nooks, downgrade from NL. Harv's island and the campervans, downgrade from NH. R.I.P Reese btw. When K.K Slider comes to your island that is when the game ends, there is very little to do after that.
@@Most-sane-deltarune-fanYeah but that's it. It's the same event every single year. It gets really boring. She was much more involved in New Leaf, you'd pretty much talk to her everyday.
I attempt to play this game for 3 years I couldn't do that I don't like how you get new furniture I think it's because Nintendo making you to buying the online and making friends New Leaf is better I could play that game for years the animals barely ask for help so all you could do is decorate your house and Island I like it but it don't have any longevity like what do you do after you decorate your house and Island
@@Most-sane-deltarune-fanHarv's Island is really boring and lackluster especially compared to Mainstreet. We went from shops, personalised that could be updated... to simple, boring, small RVs. Downgrade in every way. It's even a downgrade to the City from City Folk. And I'm sick of islands. There's such a lack of variety. HHP is great though it feels more like a seperate game to me so I feel like that's not a fair point. you can play HHP without really touching NH much.
@@myon9431 Hm. "HHP is great though it feels more like a seperate game to me so I feel like that's not a fair point." DLC isn't actually a separate game, otherwise Nintendo would've announced that as their newest game. "you can play HHP without really touching NH much." You DO KNOW that HHP is connected to NH in various ways, right? Lottie knowing Tom Nook, DJ KK coming to perform at the resort after he's already done a concert on your main island, Tom Nook letting you order items from Nook Shopping after you've made a fair bit of progress in the game, the dodos being the only in-universe way to enter and exit the resort (saving is out-of-universe)... it's connected!
If the next Animal Crossing has any less personalisation and customisation than New Horizons has than it is already a MASSIVE step back for me and most people whose first Animal Crossing was New Horizons.
i’d like to think ANCH took so long because HD games take so long to make. Since it’s already been made I don’t think it’s gonna take that much longer.
Hoping they change the annoying DoDo airport and constant interference when flying to treasure island free sites.Its all fake and puts people off playing that part of New Horizons.

- Full first-person 360 camera
- Every item ever (including lemons)
- Every character ever
- Every building upgrade ever (and new upgrades, such as upgrading Nook's Cranny to a big box store)
- Ability to have at least 50 villagers in your town
- Ability to interact with a lot more items (Ex: using boats, cars, surf boards, pools, bath tubs, and bikes), including for NPCs
- Ability to share towns between multiple systems, and have multiple towns on a single system (such as the ability to share towns with your family)
- More than just the option of your town being an island
- So much more
what is RTX to you
fuzzy effects are just texture trickery
if you have video memory to spare then those are computationally cheap
the camera would go against the aesthetics of the game
more content is not a new idea and making the game more resource intensive is not a new idea either

Well, yes, @@Nau712 ! Happy Home Paradise exists, and that's always fun!
@@Most-sane-deltarune-fanYeah but that's it. It's the same event every single year. It gets really boring. She was much more involved in New Leaf, you'd pretty much talk to her everyday.
@@myon9431 And that's what you do in New Horizons - talk to Reese every day in June!
I attempt to play this game for 3 years I couldn't do that I don't like how you get new furniture I think it's because Nintendo making you to buying the online and making friends New Leaf is better I could play that game for years the animals barely ask for help so all you could do is decorate your house and Island I like it but it don't have any longevity like what do you do after you decorate your house and Island
"what do you do after you decorate your house and Island"? Have you heard of a thing called Happy Home Paradise? Or a place called Harv's island?
@@Most-sane-deltarune-fanHarv's Island is really boring and lackluster especially compared to Mainstreet.
We went from shops, personalised that could be updated... to simple, boring, small RVs. Downgrade in every way. It's even a downgrade to the City from City Folk. And I'm sick of islands. There's such a lack of variety.
HHP is great though it feels more like a seperate game to me so I feel like that's not a fair point. you can play HHP without really touching NH much.
@@myon9431 Hm. "HHP is great though it feels more like a seperate game to me so I feel like that's not a fair point." DLC isn't actually a separate game, otherwise Nintendo would've announced that as their newest game. "you can play HHP without really touching NH much." You DO KNOW that HHP is connected to NH in various ways, right? Lottie knowing Tom Nook, DJ KK coming to perform at the resort after he's already done a concert on your main island, Tom Nook letting you order items from Nook Shopping after you've made a fair bit of progress in the game, the dodos being the only in-universe way to enter and exit the resort (saving is out-of-universe)... it's connected!
If the next Animal Crossing has any less personalisation and customisation than New Horizons has than it is already a MASSIVE step back for me and most people whose first Animal Crossing was New Horizons.
i’d like to think ANCH took so long because HD games take so long to make. Since it’s already been made I don’t think it’s gonna take that much longer.
Hoping they change the annoying DoDo airport and constant interference when flying to treasure island free sites.Its all fake and puts people off playing that part of New Horizons.
6/10? Damn lol
