It’s true that MyPotatoGames posted an article on things that fans would like to see in the game. However, some of these have now been fulfilled. Additionally, as a few months have passed, players have noticed more things that would make the gameplay experience more enjoyable. Whether it be slight glitches, some multiplayer issues, spontaneous travelling merchants, etc, there are definitely a few more features and improvements that players would like to see.
I took the effort to ask fans what features they would like and improvements that could be made. There’s no denying that the game is extraordinarily entertaining, but take notes Nintendo, as I received hundreds of responses. 😂 Here are some features that would improve Animal Crossing: New Horizons even further.
Nintendo did promised us at least three more years of updates coming to New Horizons so hopefully we will be seeing at least some of these features in the game one day!
General Island-Related Features To Improve Gameplay
- Having two separate options when terraforming (build and destroy) to save so much time, effort and frustration,
and lessen the chance of a Switch console being yeeted out of a window. - Campers being able to roam around your island when visiting
- Having more items on sale in Nook’s Cranny
- Not being followed around by Mabel and the Nooklings when browsing in their shops (social distancing is a thing guys! Don’t make me get my yard stick!) 😂
- Allow bridges and inclines to be built the same day
- Return of the
Jediever so slightly creepy gyroids. - An island planner (like the ones online) that make laying paths, terraforming, relocating things, etc, easier
- Being able to relocate the town square. Many players have unfortunately ended up with theirs very close to the airport. However, that’s not to say you can’t work around this. As these awesome island entrances demonstrate:
Features From New Leaf That Would Be Nice
- Being able to swim in the sea (and look around underwater) 🏊
- Furniture series such as the Mermaid Series, Princess Series, various Sanrio sets, etc. 😔
- The introduction of more shops. I miss GracieGrace‘s furniture and clothing, as well as Leif’s gardening store 😭
- Minigames/multiplayer minigames like on the New Leaf island tours
- Animals popping over to your house, or scheduling times to come and visit
- The return of the dream suite, or introducing a similar feature
Features From Pocket Camp That Would Be Nice
- The addition of cute and quirky hairstyles and wigs from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
- The addition of cool items from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. For example the cute tents, swings, ferris wheel, treehouse etc.
- Animals being able to chill in pools, play on things, and interact with more items like they can in Pocket Camp
Characters From Previous Games That Need To Return
- Pete (
so I can shoot him down with a slingshot muahaha) - Tortimer (and his minigames)
- Brewster (and The Roost)
- Katrina
- Pascal
Kapp’n- Phyllis. (She is my spirit animal)
Features Regarding Visiting NPC’s
- A genie’s lamp to trap Wisp the absolute pest in
- Map markers to show where islanders and NPC’s are located on your island. (Celeste deserves to be featured in the Guiness World Records for best at hide and seek).
- The ability to use Mom’s tissues to wipe Daisy-Mae’s snotty nose
- A GPS ankle tracker for Gulliver (please!)
- Bail Redd out of jail so he actually visits my island again
Residents
- The option to muzzle islanders who sing for two hours straight. JK. Kinda..
- New dialogue for characters, as it can be quite repetitive
- Give the animals a bit more personality
- Getting more requests from animals, and receiving more interesting tasks
- Allowing more villagers to inhabit your island. There’s just too many cute ones! Fans have suggested 12-15 would be a reasonable amount.
- Having animals remember you if they leave and then move back in
- BRING BACK THE SAVAGERY
Events
- Bringing back the flower fest
- Reintroducing the flea market
- Reinstating Valentine’s Day
- Carrying on the tradition of fireworks shows
- Bringing back Leif’s Weeding Day and the Flower Set furniture rewards
Isabelle – (Yes she gets her own section 😂)
- The ability to
sack Isabellemake Isabelle use a swear jar, or rather, a ‘no-one-cares-that-my-new-magazine-arrived-or-that-I-found-a-missing-sock’ jar. - Have announcements from Isabelle when travelling merchants and special NPC’s such as Flick, Saharah, and Redd (when he does..😠) are visiting
- Apart from news-that-isn’t-news, and the occasional announcement, Isabelle doesn’t really do a lot. Somebody give that poor doggo a purpose!
Features That Would Save Players Time And Effort
- The ability to batch craft items
- Being able to bulk buy items such as customization kits
- Purchasing multiple items at once in the Able Sisters’ changing room
- Stronger tool durability, or at least making golden tools indestructible like in previous Animal Crossing games
- Being able to order more than 5 items from the shopping catalogue each day (I’m a shopaholic okay?!)
- Being able to rotate the camera 360°
- Having a bank card to use when shopping to avoid having to withdraw bells from the ATM in Residents Services
Storage & Space
- More storage space in your character’s home
- Being able to store DIY materials in workbenches to save on storage space
- Being able to store clothing and accessories in wardrobes to also save on storage space
- The ability the access your storage when outside of your home
- Being able to put flowers (stems) in storage. You can put three monster statues, a teacup ride, three jungle gyms, two oarfish and a shark in storage, but heaven forbid you try to store one white cosmos plant
- MORE DESIGN SLOTS!!
- Bigger side (and back) rooms in your house
DIY Recipes
Being able to slap that duplicate DIY recipe out of an animal’s hand when they force you to take it. Kindly being able to decline duplicate DIY recipes offered by crafting animals.- Actually being able to put DIY recipes in your storage
- Or introducing a storage box (or something similar) to store DIY recipes
- More frequent balloon presents and message bottles containing DIY recipes
Fun Features
- A museum gift shop (as has been hinted)
- A Nintendo app to link to the game that tracks steps (like the 3DS pedometer), and then rewards players with in-game items for exercising. (Two
owlsbirds with one stone!). - A feature that allows players to cook! (
all of the darn Sea Bass) - I wanna be able to kick the soccer ball and move about with it.. 🥺
- Being able to do things like play minigames on the switch console items
- The ability to participate in activities that islanders can do. For example, yoga, weight-lighting, tea-drinking in the square, dangerously running around with sticks in my hands, etc. Just the normal stuff 😊
Decor-related Features
- Being able to place rugs outside in order to save design slots for picnic blankets
- The ability to decorate the interior and exterior of islanders’ houses
- Custom paths making pattering noises like the other paths
- Being able to make and design public buildings like in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
- The ability to place items at an angle
- More bridge and incline designs to choose from
Multiplayer, Dodo Airlines & Glitches
- Improved, reliable, online gameplay with faster travel and less oopsies (we do pay for it with Switch Online after all)
- The option to
tie Orville’s beak togetherskip/speed through the chitter chatter when travelling with Dodo Airlines - Being able to open and close your gates remotely. It’s a pain when you forget to close them and then can’t terraform until you trek to the airport
- The ability to hop from one island to another without having to fly back to your island first
- Less glitches
Whilst it’s almost definite that not all of these features will be implemented, it would be fantastic if even a few of them were.
Please and thank you Nintendo 🙂
- Having two separate options when terraforming (build and destroy) to save so much time, effort and frustration,

Do you own a huge Animal Crossing Amiibo collection? If so you might be pleased to know that New Horizons will indeed feature Amiibo support!
Nintendo just revealed a brand new Animal Crossing New Horizons Nintendo Switch Edition and the box revealed some more information. According to the information found on the carton it appears that Animal Crossing New Horizons Amiibo support is going to be a thing!
The functionality of the Amiibo has not yet been confirmed. In Animal Crossing New Lead you could summon certain animals to your campsite with the help of an Amiibo.
Whatever the purpose of scanning an Amiibo will be, its great to see that they still have a use in the upcoming game. You can currently buy Animal Crossing Amiibo figurines for as low as $2-$3 – its the best time to stock up on your collection!

Animal Crossing Pocket Camp has been out for some time now and since its official release in November 2018 Nintendo released plenty of other mobile games.
Animal Crossing Pocket Camp has been popular among many Animal Crossing fans but often been critized for its lack of actual gameplay. The mobile version of the beloved village simulator captures the cuteness of the animals but turns the relaxing gameplay into more of a “grindy” experience.
Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Content Update
Nintendo frequently updated the game adding new features and listening to players feedback to further improve the game. These efforts have now paid off as Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is Nintendos second most profitable mobile game.
Only this week Nintendo once again released a big update to the game featuring an all new candy shop pastel collection that players around the world can now start collecting!
Pocket Camp on the Rise!
Pocket Camp generated more than 131 million dollars in revenue and is now the second highest grossing Nintendo Mobile game after Fire Emblems that made a whooping 656 million dollars.
Games like Mario Kart Tour, Mario Run and Dr. Mario also made the list with 86m, 76m, and respectively 4.8 million in revenue.

Nintendo might not reveal a lot of new information about Animal Crossing New Horizons at this time but every now and then we do get some new Screenshots. Thanks to Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu we received some new images!
The latest set of Animal Crossing New Horizons Screenshots does not really reveal anything we haven’t seen yet nor does it show any new features. One thing however that stood out to me was the UI screenshots of a villager crafting and/or purchasing seeds from Tom Nook.
Screenshots Famitsu
We have seen Tom Nooks little tent with a crafting bench multiple times. In a matter of fact it was one or the first things Nintendo shared with us. The question is, is this a temporary tent to help the villagers get started on the island and will it transform into a shop later on?
The fact that we see a villager either crafting and/or purchasing seeds from the Tanuki makes me believe that our beloved garden friend Leaf won’t have his own shop in New Horizons! Take a look for yourself below!
Photo from Famitsu How Deserted is Animal Crossing New Horizons?
Nintendo keeps mentioning that New Horizons features a Getaway package to a deserted island – in a recent article I explored the question on how deserted Animal Crossing New Horizons really is. We have yet to see shops or any sort of buildings that aren’t villager homes – Museums, Shops, Brewster Cafe and more are currently a big question mark.
There may always be the option of island hopping to go shopping – as we have seen in the box art, there appear to be multiple islands! Either way Nintendo will hopefully shed some light into this and reveal some more information in the not so distance future.
Late News is not uncommon for Nintendo!
Keep in mind that an Animal Crossing Direct for Animal Crossing New Leaf was aired just 36 days prior to its release in Japan. It is not uncommon for Nintendo to reveal more information about a game closer to its release date!
So don’t panic – ACNH is not delayed! In a matter of fact Best Buy just announced a pre-order bonus for the game!

During my routine potato-ey browse of social media, I recently came across some unofficially released images that piqued my interest. Upon closer examination of these images, I concluded that they show some of the events and items likely to come to Pocket Camp in the near future. I decided that I just had to share my discovery with my fellow Animal Crossing-Addicted amigos, hence this post! ?
Chevre’s Bath-Themed Cookie?
The first image suggests the arrival of a new bath-themed fortune cookie featuring Chevre.
‘Knitting-themed’ Fishing Tourney
The next image suggests that there will be a ‘knitting-themed’ fishing tourney with some woolly prizes up for grabs. ‘Wool’ you be participating?
New Year Gardening Event
This image suggests that Pocket Camp players will be soon be able to participate in a New Year’s themed gardening event.
New Year’s Clothing Collection
The final image suggests that players may also be getting a new clothing collection. Again with a New Year’s Theme, it’s likely that this collection will also be released imminently.
N.B. It’s important to note that items featured in this article have not been officially confirmed. Therefore there is no guarantee that they will feature in the game, and items could change in appearance.
