You Should Play Animal Crossing New Horizons in 2024

It's been nearly 4 years since Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out, and it's time to revisit this game and relive and the great memories we made. I may have lost my island that I spend over a year working on, but that doesn't mean we can travel to OTHER islands and see what wild things await...

I remember when this game came out. It was during Covid, and being able to sit inside and play this all day amidst the chaotic world around us was great. The vibes were a great distraction

[@IanTheAlternative]

Do you have any idea what i would give to experience that?

[@t3ddys_ed3tz]

stopp- your gonna make me cry 😭😭 I miss it sm

[@angtol839]

i know covid wasnt easy for many.. but man..ACNH just went in at the perfect time. It was my first AC and i got to know a lot of new friends whom were also constantly active as well because, we're all locked down lol! good times good times.

[@sanderzijl3605]

Those vibes were unmatched

animal crossing new horizons be so good when you dont have someone in your ears telling you it sucks

[@dagobahstudios3662]

“the game removed so many features” “the villagers are way worse” translation: “STOP HAVING FUN”

[@The_Dragon_Tiamat]

@@dagobahstudios3662 So for me I do agree with those complaints, for the most part, as someone who has played the older games. While I can see the improvements to New Horizons and see the great appeal in it, it is still hard to not miss stuff from the older games or the more witty responses the villagers gave. That's not to say New Horizon sucks. To be honest it will be very hard for me to return to any older game other than New Leaf as I love the decoration you can do to your village way too much in New Horizons, and New Leaf has the best mix of older game enjoyment with creative output in my opinion. However there is also value in understanding the more honest complaints about a game are coming from a love for the series. Yes if someone is saying, "Why is anyone even playing this game dude?" Ignore them have your own fun. However the complaints towards New Horizons come from people who grew up on the older games and want to see the best in the series. While New Horizons is great for giving you creative output in ways never before seen in an Animal Crossing game, the cost was what made the game fun to play on the day to day. My personal hope is that now they have created an Animal Crossing game with great creative freedom they can use that as a base and bring back in stuff from the older games that will enhance the entire experience of Animal Crossing. I miss the Main Street so much from New Leaf. Being able to see it evolve and grow in real time and have the stores expand and combine made me feel so exited to play and continue. In New Leaf there was a total of 4 upgrades to the main store in the game that went; Nookling Junction, T&T Mart, Super T&T, T.I.Y. and finally T&T Emporium. In order of upgrades here are the requirements for each; Nook Junction -> T&T Mart 12,000 bells spent 10 days having passed since you started and paying off your first mortgage, T&T Mart -> Super T&T 25,000 bells spent it being 10 days since the last upgrade and 10 days since the garden shop opened, Super T&T -> T.I.Y 50,000 bells spent and it being 21 days since the last upgrade, T.I.Y -> T&T Emporium 100,000 bells spent it being 30 days since the last upgrade and passing 4 fashion checks from Gracie. This created a real sense of progression and made the game feel very alive as well as motivated you to figure out how to upgrade it next. Without time travel and with the best luck in the world it would take at minimum 75 days, or 2 months and 15 days (you need to add in an upgrading day for each upgrade). Now in New Horizons you have Nook's Cranny which after 30 days of being built or a total of 200,000 bells being gained or spent and Mabel showing up once. It upgrades into a slightly bigger store, the name stays the same and it never upgrades again. Now without time travel and the best luck in the world it takes 3 days for the first store to be made, then 4 more days for the final upgrade to be accessible. Because Mabel is a weekly showing vendor it's possible for her to show up the very next day after the first store "upgrade" as that is when she starts to show up on your island, and it's easy to spend/gain 200,000 bells meeting the requirements for the store to upgrade. Meaning it takes at minimum 7 days for you to get to the final upgrade of Nook's Cranny. (I could be slightly off as the wiki wasn't fully clear but to my understanding assuming everything lines up you can have the final upgrade of the store on the 7th day of your game) Again I like New Horizon's and I'm sure they didn't like where they had to cut corners to make a better creative outlet for the game, but that is the type of stuff people miss and that is what people are complaining about. I'm enjoying New Horizons still and so should anyone who likes it. Never feel bad or upset about playing or doing something you like if it hurts no one. However again context is needed to understand that unless someone is shaming you for enjoying the game their criticism comes from love and a care for the series and they want to see it be better. Not only for them but for anyone new joining in.

[@delphoxhoopa7289]

​@@The_Dragon_TiamatTHIS. I ended up buying New Leaf because everyone was saying how much better it was, but the old mechanics (villagers randomly leaving and not being able to control building placements) really hurt the experience for me. I like both games for different reasons. I understand the criticism, but half the time people act like there's nothing good about New Horizons. Yes, it lost a lot of things, but you can still enjoy it.

[@dagobahstudios3662]

@@The_Dragon_Tiamat Fair, I can see where your coming from and it does seem very annoying to see features you loved from past entries get removed from the new one. I’m just annoyed with people whining about the new entry being bad while adding nothing to the conversation

[@Tokuto-kun]

Right. How dare people have opinions. If people merely sharing their opinions on the internet is akin to screaming in your ear that it sucks, then I just don't think you are good with differing opinions buddy.

The game isn't dead, it's just done with updates.

I find it funny that after I had reset my island (albeit in late 2023), and recently re-gaining interest in the game, I find that the same has happened to Jay. Glad to see someone’s still playing lol

[@benamisai-kham5892]

I still play almost daily. I took small breaks in between but I've played since the game came out I love it as an addition to the franchise. I still go back to the older games every so often, but NH is special no matter what others say.

[@sasha-is-eepy]

i reset my island too! i find myself so interested now!!

[@Wallis_2001]

I still play this game every so often, just perpetually stuck in a loop of redecorating my island forever. I only play about once a week so it doesn’t get boring, even started a 2nd island lmao

I'd LOVE to see some more Animal Crossing videos from you, it was amazing to go back and be reminded of why we all were obsessed with this game a few years ago. You're always hilarious no matter what game you're playing, but Animal Crossing amplifies your amazing energy even further

[@crystallization_.]

man, happy home paradise is a really good dlc, im really glad they released it just because it gave me something to do.

[@juliebartholomew3278]

I've just purchased this, can't wait to see what it's like

[@meloettium]

restarted my own acnh island! im really enjoying getting back into the game, and watching new jaymoo acnh content once again is really amazing, i'm super looking forward to more of it in the future if possible!! cheers for new jersey AYAYAYAAAAA

[@juliebartholomew3278]

Same here

[@roscpctals8892]

I played ACNH so many times during Covid and it brings back so many memories, when I watch ACHN videos. My sister mainly uses the Nintendo Switch (Since I have the PS4) so I plan on buying my own Switch (Animal Crossing Horizon bundle with the Switch lite) next month. I'm already looking forward to build a new island and experience the fun I once had again ☺️

[@centimukade]

would absolutely love to see more acnh streams and videos from you. i recently got back into it myself so seeing others showing interest in the game again lately has been fun. i know nintendo said they're done updating the game but i hope they do one last big one for fun before the next console like they did with new leaf. or we get a new animal crossing when the next console launches.

[@Diego163rd]

This game has been a huge help for me ever since I started taking a break from smoking, I’ve been having a blast too. Back then I wasn’t really into slow games other than stardew valley really glad I came back.

[@sch.noodles]

your initial community post inspired me to open up my island again and hopefully finish up my decorating, so I'd say you're successful in trying to get people to play again 👍

[@chemiqalstars]

I would love to see more animal crossing content:) I still play this game from time to time and i love seeing people come back to it after years

[@Ellowynforest]

YAYY I’M GLAD YOU’RE REVISITING :)

[@brittballsVLOGS]

In case you’re curious of anyone does it, I DID subscribe when you brought it up which I don’t usually do! I started playing again 3 weeks ago and I’m so addicted all over again, making sure I watch others do the same in 2024

[@DeityShinobi]

I’ve still been playing ACNH to this day, doing the usual and happy home paradise as well. I occasionally trade in Nookazon if I get inspired to decorate or redecorate something, but I don’t have specific items. It doesn’t get boring for me; more so, it feels relaxing playing it every day. Honestly, I’m going to keep playing it until the next Animal Crossing game, whenever that is. Seeing more ACNH content would be nice, especially since nowadays there’s little to no mention of it. Maybe I can get the opportunity to invite Jay to my island one day. If not, then at least I can enjoy the content.

[@timmyb.3426]

It's so nice to see someone playing this game again, and I would like to see more Animal Crossing videos. Maybe some dream islands or progress videos on the current island would be some good videos for this game.

[@gecfes]

What good timing. I've recently got back into the game myself, and I'm having a blast finally finishing the island.

[@d-jams]

I've been playing ACNH every day since May, just making goals for myself and keeping myself interested in it.

[@gabriellaarchive]

ive actually picked this up again recently and its been so fun to dive back into, so im really happy to see you playing after a while :))❤❤

[@SnehaR1309]

so glad that you could revisit your old island via dream address! Ngl I regularly think of that island bc of how much effort went into it and how creative it was lol it’s one of my fave YTer islands

[@mudkyu]

oh wow this vid is so chill. big vibes rn. loved this stream btw

[@wesleypatterson2284]

I popped this game in on a whim back in September/January because it had been cold and rainy where I lived for like a month straight and my mental health was in the toilet as a result. Just spending the evening picking weeds all over my island seemed to reset my brain chemicals. I ended up resetting because building the island is half the fun for me, and I've been taking it nice and slow so I can hopefully have this for a good little while

[@KuriCurry1102]

Wow!~ I love your vibe full of energy. But however love your videos. Looking forward for more.

[@miyahwilliams4480]

Honestly this makes me happy seeing Animal crossing islands again, I miss this! It’d be cool to see you do more visit from viewer (if you want!!) and then I want to be able to see you make progress on your new island as well!! :0c

Loved the video as always! This also actually makes me want to play AC again, as I’ve been wanting to get back to it but never had the motivation As for more AC content, I’d love more videos! I think it would be funny to have chat send in codes for custom clothes they made for you to try, because some of the designs people make are a bit unhinged (but in a funny way! …most of the time-)

I was a little late to the ACNH party. I got mine in like late December 2022/early January 2023, I can’t remember. Most, if not all, of my friends who played it during covid had stopped. My only regret is that I didn’t pull the trigger and buy a switch back in like 2020. I hadn’t TRULY played an AC game since wild world back on the switch, but MAN it took me back

i actually started playing it this year too after getting back into city folk and new leaf 😭😭 the game is pretty good but i wish we got better updates like more upgrades to nooks cranny and more things to do 😭 like adding paradise planning was a good choice but besides that, i wish there was a main street like there was in cf and nl 😭

[@adrianleonce455]

I mean, isn't Harv's Island kinda the "Main Street" of New Horizons? Its basically a hub for shops that can't be built on your island. Though, its vibes are different from previous hubs. Instead of a busy city/town vibe, its more of a chill camp vibe.
