What does Animal Crossing New Horizons need?



Since the release on Animal Crossing New Horizons, the game has dominated the video game and pop culture space, but what now? Why is it losing its spot? What happened?

Animal Crossing fans know that the game has always been a long term investment not a sprint. Decorating you island has added endless possibilities but the game still unfolds slowly. You could visit others islands to open up your catalog but if you don't your catalog will build at a snails pace.

What do we need?

1. A bigger Nook's. Time for the boys to get another upgrade. A second story.

2. Games - The 3DS version of the game had some things that should not make an appearance in ACNH but the mini games were fun. Going to an island and playing against others would add a lot to this version on Animal Crossing.

3. Multiple buy feature in Able sisters. It takes too long to buy every color of flip-flop. Just let us buy more things at once.

4. The characters need to talk less. By this point I have heard the same speech from Gulliver and Blathers. I need to be able to skip past the same useless dialogue after I have read it 20 times.

New Horizons is fun but it needs to keep sending updates to survive once people can get back to real life.

I can't wait to see what Thanksgiving (Harvest) and Christmas (Toy Day) look like in New Horizons but it is time to add a few other need features as well.
