The huge success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons clearly caught Nintendo unexpectedly, nevertheless it’s arduous to know why they didn’t instantly shift sources to creating new content material when it was clear the sport was a mega hit (many of the first-year content material was in all probability deliberate pre-launch). There are additionally a whole lot of options from previous AC video games which can be bafflingly nonetheless lacking from New Horizons – the place’s the café? The place are the minigames? The place are the dang gyroids? Oh, and I will not even ask in regards to the basic NES video games.
