In March 2020, Nintendo launched a life simulation game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Since the game's launch, more than 31 million Nintendo Switch players worldwide have fallen in love with this game. It provides players with a strong tropical Animal Crossing Items island atmosphere, charming characters and daily pastoral style, allowing players to escape the chaotic real world and experience a beautiful and peaceful life.

However, one year after the game was released, when players adjusted to the daily activities of New Horizons fishing, planting flowers and talking with neighbors, they began to feel that the game content was not rich enough, and Nintendo has not yet added more interesting content to the game. Although Nintendo holds seasonal events every year, many players think that the content of the game is too single, and they are beginning to get tired of this game.

Since the game’s release last year, Nintendo seems to have refused to acknowledge the various much-needed quality of life changes and updates that Animal Crossing players have been asking for, which has largely caused dissatisfaction. What was once easily looted because of its relative novelty-lack of content and a tedious management system compared to previous Animal Crossing entries-has become frustrating for those who make this game the fastest selling game on Nintendo For people, it was even a huge frustration.

In the New Horizons game, players still cannot make more than one item at a time, which is one of the biggest problems. In order to meet with friends online, players must have endless conversations with the chatty dodo whose fans have been looking for simplicity. Tools such as shovels and fishing rods will still fail without warning, forcing players to stop what they are doing and rebuild them repeatedly. The most popular stores for fans in the past few generations of games, such as Brewster’s cafes and Animal Crossing Bells nightclubs hosted by DJ K.K. Slider, do not exist in New Horizons. The same goes for other supporting characters that players like, such as the fashionable giraffe Gracie and amateur comedian Dr. Shrunk.

As early as May last year, many players called on Nintendo to update the game content to solve some of the problems in the current game. Some players even crafted a wish list of game content updates. But until today, a year later, Nintendo still has not made these changes to the game content of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which will inevitably make some players feel very disappointed.
