Some Newer Horizons In Animal Crossing: New Horizons This January

While Pac-players treated themselves to a tricky Halloween edition of Pac-Man found on the Google home page [17] [49] [50] [67], the Free Version 3.0 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of the game were announced [43] [45]. Earlier this year, we have discussed and predicted what could the next chapter of the Animal Crossing franchise on the Switch 2 be like as a brand new title with several new features [71] [72] [73] [74] [82] [83], but as some of us have predicted, a Switch 2 edition of New Horizons will be out in two months [69] [70], yet not many fellow animal crossers have expected to witness the confirmation of an official Version 3.0 update that will be launched alongside it [43] [45]. I suppose the fanmade “Update 3.0” mode created by jubbsticks will have to be considered “Update 4.0” while fans of South Park witness the second chapter of the twenty-eighth season and hazbeans are amazed at how Hazbin Hotel holds the Guinness World Record for Most In-Demand Animated Show [19] [23] [68] [69] [70]. After comparing the Helluva Boss pilot to its remaster known as “Mission: Zero” and trick or treating in my copy of New Horizons [37] [61] [78] [79], let us discuss the next chapter of the Switch era of Animal Crossing that will be read in 2026, the year that will mark the 35^th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog series [43] [45] [59] [60].

I suppose the purpose of the content within the Version 3.0 update and the Switch 2 edition is to expand the New Horizons era’s life expectancy [43] [45], yet some animal crossers are still dreaming of a new title that can bring on some experiences [71] [72] [73] [74] [82] [83], such as an underwater village to explore once you transform into a mermaid or merboy [37]. But for now, let us discuss how the next chapter can especially be enriching on the Switch 2 in 2026, the year of the horse [30]. Wait! Does that mean that it will be the year of Ponyta and Rapidash, according to Pokémon trainers [6] [7]?! [43] [45]

Before we discuss the full potential of the Version 3.0 update, let us look at the exclusive features in the forthcoming Switch 2 edition [43] [45]. The mouse controls for designing clothing items and artwork, as well as quirky posts on the bulletin board, could be ideal for a digital artist who loves making art with their mouse [46]. The megaphone would be quite useful for finding a specific resident on the island [43] [45]. Looks like there will be room for four more players hanging out on an island online and a dozen players on one island will have the option to show their faces above their avatars by the power of the Switch 2 Camera, which is a reminder of the demonstration of the full functionality of playing the Switch 2 edition of Super Mario Party Jamboree known as “Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV” online [44]. I still wonder if there will be a Switch 2 edition of Princess Peach: Showtime! or a direct sequel to my favourite game of 2024 [42] [80] [81], but I still believe there ought to be plenty of completely new titles for the Switch 2 besides Mario Kart World to prevent the successor to the Switch from selling as badly as the Wii U did [5] [41].

The Switch 2 edition of the game will be represented in clearer definition [43] [45]. Notice how smooth the outlines of an animal crosser’s avatar look on the left, compared to the choppiness on the right? [43] [45]

Hopefully, no antiheroic imps like Blitzo from Helluva Boss will crash a coffee party like this one [33] [78] [79]. [43] [45]

Kapp’n’s family will be welcomed back in a brand new location on the pier that shall provide a new (and familiar) way to play [43] [45]. It is a resort hotel for villagers to stay at in differently themed rooms to customise, which is very much like specifically themed vacation homes to design for clients in the paid DLC known as “Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise” [38]. amiibo cards can be used to summon guests at the hotel, much like how they can in The Roost [37] [43] [45]. A new rewards system is being given hotel tickets for helping the hotel maintain its credibility to buy exclusive souvenirs. And of course, considering that New Horizons is notable for its aspects of crafting items, such as tools and furniture [37], items to craft near the hotel can be delivered to those outside of the island by Kapp’n in exchange for hotel tickets [43] [45]. I suspect that new duties at the hotel will result in new ways to earn Nook Miles [37]. The idea of running and customising a holiday hotel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is “Happy Home Paradise V2.0” to me [38], which makes me excited to try out the feature after the update is released [43] [45].

Running a hotel for visitors to stay at ought to be a lot more satisfying than having only one camper at the campsite [37] [43] [45]. If an animal crosser ends up preferring Tortimer’s Island from New Leaf over the hotel in the upcoming Version 3.0 for New Horizons [48], that is no problem. After all, some animal crossers prefer the New Leaf era over the New Horizons age for fair reasons [71] [72]. But still, I cannot go wrong with dressing up the mannequins to encourage some trends [43] [45]. [43] [45]

Oh! And did I mention that bulk crafting, which is being able to craft more than one item you wish to craft with the right number of materials, will be introduced in the upcoming update [16] [43] [45]? We all know how capitalism works by now. [43] [45]

A new feature for when an animal crosser’s avatar goes to bed is entering a new island named a “Slumber Island” [43] [45]. The player who dares to dream will be able to design their Slumber Island in the way they can design their Reality Island [37], but choose any tree they would like to plant, decide the time of day, along with the weather, and add a certain number of residents from Reality Island [43] [45]. And yes, a Slumber Island version of Lloid who wears an old-fashioned nightcap can help build slopes and bridges, much like in the main island in reality. The player will be able to create three Slumber Islands, which is much like how there can be multiple save files, resulting in multiple towns in Animal Crossing: Population Growing, but only one per memory card [4]. Being rather ambitious, I would probably choose all three of my Slumber Islands to be large for increased creative freedom, thus making up for how I wish my main island in reality could be bigger [37] [43] [45]. Lastly, up to a dozen fellow animal crossers can visit and even help construct and decorate a Slumber Island, much like in the Reality Island. Hopefully, there will be no spooky towers of blocks to climb, especially if most of the residents in reality are sheep [1].

This feature may require an active Nintendo Switch Online membership to be fully accessible [43] [45]. Surely, you can name the Slumber Islands, right? Perhaps I will name my Slumber Island “Bloop Island” after all the funny attempts at naming an unnamed island in the third volume of Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Deserted Island Diaries [57]. In the meantime, there is a theory that the Speaker of God from the second season of Hazbin Hotel is the long-lost mother of Stolas from Helluva Boss [34] [36] [63], as far-fetched as that sounds. [43] [45]

Aside from what appears to be Mr. Resetti’s redemption arc as he will run his own cleaning service in the Version 3.0 update [43] [45], I am amazed to see brand new villagers resembling certain characters from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Splatoon 3 [31] [32]. I can already imagine Cece or Viché who previously appeared in New Leaf to represent Callie and Marie from Splatoon and have been redesigned to resemble Frye Onaga and Shiver Hohojiro from Splatoon 3 [20] [21] [29], staying in a Splatoon-themed room and Tulin or Mineru unwinding in a Zelda-themed room at the hotel [31] [32] [43] [45]. Aside from new villagers being part of collaborations with other Nintendo franchises, there will also be a collaboration with LEGO, resulting in a new line of LEGO-styled furniture that can be customised after being crafted. As for Resetti’s new service, it can be useful for decluttering your yard, the beach, or anywhere else on the island. If you ask me, inviting the mole to stay at the hotel in a LEGO-themed room would be an addition to his redemption arc as if he were a guest at Hazbin Hotel [2] [3] [52] [56]. Would a prinny like to join him [22]?

Personally, I think these two squirrels should have been completely new characters to resemble Frye and Shiver from Splatoon 3 [20] [21], so that Cece or Viché can keep their looks representing Callie and Marie [29]. Nonetheless, it is interesting to see the two squirrels representing entirely different Splatoon characters to expand on their passions for cosplaying [43] [45]. [43] [45]

I also wonder if Resetti’s brother, Don, will make an appearance in the update as well. Perhaps he will appear in his place sometimes, which was the case for his original role as the one to scold the player for not saving their game [39]. [43] [45]

 
What else is there to discuss regarding the next big update? An active Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required to access a retro Nintendo game to play once you own an old-school console, such as a Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom, that can be bought from the hotel [43] [45], which is a throwback to playing old-school Nintendo titles in Animal Crossing: Population Growing [18] [24]. As for the Love Tester, my little red-nosed ranger would try it out with Eugene, the koala who resembles my fiancé, which is why I have shipped them together since I played Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp [40] [75] [76]. The maximum storage capacity will be expanded to nine-thousand items in your house and those can include plants, such as flowers and trees [43] [45]. But alas, if only that would also result in a new upstairs room for the house…after the player pays a new outrageously pricey mortgage, of course [37] [39]. As exciting as the Version 3.0 update for New Horizons on the Switch and Switch 2 sounds [43] [45], I still think there still ought to be some efforts to establish a competent sequel to New Horizons, possibly titled “New Horizons 2” in the future to further decrease the risk of the sales of the Switch 2 being as unsatisfactory as the Wii U’s sales [5] [71] [72] [73] [74] [82] [83]. The same applies to developing the next big step in the Super Mario, Splatoon, andThe Legend of Zelda games for the Switch 2 [69] [70].

It looks like Ice Climber will be featured once an animal crosser owns an NES as an example of certain classics being featured in the upcoming Version 3.0 update [43] [45]. This seems like quite an engaging aspect of the new rewards system when it comes to helping the hotel become successful. [43] [45]

What else can an animal crosser keep in their storage [43] [45]? Ah, yes! An axe…that is (hopefully) not bloodstained, even after a devastating breakup…or just a villager being rude as if they were stuck in the first era of the franchise [18] [25] [26] [27] [28]. [43] [45]

In conclusion, the enhanced port of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the big update for both ports are sure to let new Animal Crossing vibes flourish this January [43] [45]. In the meantime, I shall follow the rest of the next chapter of the story about Charlie Morningstar’s hotel for sinners to be redeemed at on Prime Video while Fortnite fighters fight in Fortnite: Battle Royale and LEGO Fortnite with new sidekicks [13] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [62]. Aside from how I think there ought to be a tenth volume of the hilarious manga known as “Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Deserted Island Diary” or a direct sequel series based on the Version 3.0 update [43] [45] [47], I predict that there will be about eight more game packs for The Sims 4 to balance out the number of expansion packs, as well as the number of stuff packs [64] [65] [66], if the game will still be relevant alongside the outcome of Project Rene [77]. Speaking of predictions, I am sure that we can still predict a new Animal Crossing title that will serve as a sequel to New Horizons with plenty of reminders of New Leaf for the Switch 2 [71] [72] [73] [74] [82] [83]. Autistic people like me need some form of escapism in a toxic post-woke world where new lines are being crossed [9], so I will be sure to start a new chapter with the Version 3.0 update, especially for the sake of running a new resort hotel, for my copy of New Horizons in 2026 [43] [45].

Hopefully, I can run the resort hotel as proudly as I designed over two hundred vacation homes in Happy Home Paradise [38] [43] [45]. And hopefully, Kamala Harris can run for president once again in 2028 and become America’s first female president in history after winning the election [11] [12]. In the meantime, Fortnite fighters are exploring Springfield with the Simpsons and Deadpool will return to Disneyland to read some seasonal stories to an older audience after spending Halloween with Wolverine and Ghostface from the Scream franchise [8] [10] [14] [15] [58]. And as always, let us keep striving for kindness and against bigotry [35] [51]. [43] [45]

Animal Crossing Fans’ Fingers Crossed After The Reveal of The Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 showcase premiered the day after the release of the LEGO set based on the iconic castle from the animated Walt Disney classic released in 1991 known as “Beauty and the Beast” [7]. One of my most anticipated ideas for how the Switch 2 era can excel is the next Animal Crossing title that is currently labelled as “Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2” in my mind [78] [79], aside from the possibility of a Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Animal Crossing: New Horizons [30] [49] [78] [79] [84] [85]. Can you imagine being able to expand your island to make a lot more room for more villagers, build a Main Street, a bigger campsite and so on, along with the opportunity to experience the seasons in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere [76] [77] [78] [79] [84] [85]]? Some of us may miss the simpler times of selling shells and fruits for bells, travelling to the city and exploring some old friends’ towns in City Folk, also known as “Let’s Go To The City” on the Wii [25] [40], but after the Switch 2 showcase, there is hope for a new chapter of the franchise that ought to consist of the best ofNew Leaf and New Horizons [76] [77] [78] [79] [84] [85]. Just before I continue to build happy homes for villagers in Happy Home Paradise [42], let us discuss what we can expect to see in the next Animal Crossing game for the fourth and final time.
 

We further expanded on our expectations on International Women’s Day [2] [21] [28], which is a day before Barbie’s birthday and Miku Day [8] [26] [38] [60] [72] [74]. Oh! And Dr. Nefarious’ birthday as well [61]. And speaking of fashionable and influential blonde-haired women, there is still hope for a sequel to Princess Peach: Showtime! for the Switch 2 or a Switch 2 edition of one of my favourite games of 2024 [82] [83]. Look how amazing Peach looks in one of her new outfits in the forthcoming Mario Kart World [49]! And yes, the Nintendo Switch 2 showcase increased the hype the day after April Fool’s Day, which is also the birthday of Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel [20] [35]. [49]

After witnessing the reveals of Snow White in the twelfth season of Disney Speedstorm and the premium plushie based on the outstanding incarnation of Beelzebub from Helluva Boss and having an amazing time I had at MegaCon in Birmingham this year as a female version of Mario [14] [16] [34] [36] [75], I am more than delighted to imagine how a Switch 2 edition of New Horizons, a brand new chapter for the successor to the Switch or both [49]. [53]

There is still quite a lot of time to hope for some new and familiar portrayals of special animals. Phineas might as well be a balloon vendor again, especially in an expansion of the Main Street in either the Northwest or Northeast part of the island, thus making bunny balloons buyable again [4] [22]. It seems unlikely that Redd will be in the slammer for selling forgeries [76] [77], so I guess his raffle from New Horizons can return as an alternative to the raffle from the first generation returning [41]. Personally, I think Harriet ought to offer seasonal hairstyles in the reopening of her salon in the last upgrade of Timmy and Tommy’s shop for old Wild Worldtime’s sake [44]. I also wonder if Wendell will return as the gluttonous travelling artist we have received designs from since the first generation of the franchise [40] [56]. Perhaps he could progress into an aspiring animator, basing his animations on Kirby from the Kirby games (which makes sense if you ask me [57]) or perhaps the art style of the Animal Crossing manga series [51] [67]. Lastly, Snowman, Snowmam and Snowtyke can return to be built during the Winter in the parts of the island the player chooses to be based on the Northern or Southern Hemisphere [55]. Both old and new roles of special characters can commence to get the best of both nostalgic and new experiences in the next game.

Harriet’s new salon in the last upgrade of the shop that is basically a rehash of T&T Emporium from New Leaf can be a rehash of Shampoodle in Wild World for plenty of 2000s kids and teens [40] [44] [54]. I do not doubt that she is supportive of Gracie, especially for a reason besides how stylish she is that will be briefly explained later. As previously mentioned, a new chapter ought to provide some further depth in terms of what the characters represent outside of their occupations. [54]

The return of Snowman could result in the return of the bingo minigame from New Leaf [55]. Speaking of New Leaf, an alternative to a direct sequel to New Horizons can appeal to animal crossers who prefer New Leaf over New Horizons for a reason that will be explained later [1] [15]. [55]

 
The return of perfect fruit would result in new recipes, such as tastier smoothies to craft, including an apple smoothie with a richer taste, a sweeter peach smoothie and blood-orange juice aside from differently designed fashion items [24], which would be convenient and consistent due to some variants of furniture items from the Fruit series [41]. Of course, there can be some fruit to grow, such as green apples to show no bias against them and strawberries inspired by the Fruit Party with Katie event in Pocket Camp that I recall attending back in Spring 2018 to give the next chapter some individuality [3] [15]. There can also be new types of trees, such as a weeping willow tree like the one that welcomed Wisp to the campsite in Pocket Camp [17] [43]. Lastly, perhaps there can be some new white and cream-coloured blossom trees in the Spring, especially in the return of the Cherry Blossom Festival from the first generation of the franchise [5] [86]. The grass was greener in New Leaf to some animal crossers [1] [15], so the return of some fruit and flora from the third generation of the franchise ought to flourish in the next chapter on the Switch 2.

There can also be plum blossom trees and peach blossom trees to show the differences between sakura, momo and ume [66] [86]. [5]

I also wonder if there can be new vegetables to grow, such as parsnips and cabbages. [53]

 
How else can a successor or Switch 2 edition to New Horizons provide the best of the third generation of the franchise? Gems and silver nuggets from New Leaf could also return in the next game for the Switch 2 [22]. As a result, there would be even more DIY recipes, such as a ruby net, a sapphire fishing rod, an emerald slingshot and an amethyst watering can. The same can apply to crafting a gem-coloured balloon if Phineas’ balloon cart from City Folkreturns [40]. Yes, these have already been brought into an “Update 3.0” mod for New Horizons [22], but such ideas becoming canon in the next chapter can assure its full legality. Why not let some bugs and fish that have only been caught during regular times outside of seasonal events in Pocket Camp, such as the Luna Moth and the Achilles Surgeonfish [23] [43]? And speaking of Pocket Camp, clothing, furniture and villagers can be categorised by the themes again [43]. Why not bring on a new batch of Pokémon references and some true intention of making a waterfall a secret entrance inspired by an eventually patched glitch that was considered a cool feature instead [31] [32]? As previously preached, the next Animal Crossing experience ought to be a hybrid of New Leaf and New Horizons with certain aspects of Pocket Camp and the first two generations to appeal to all animal crossers’ preferences [1].

Kudos to jubbsticks for his exceptional “3.0 Update” mod for New Horizons. [22]

Aside from plenty of Generation Three cred, I am still up for Gracie coming out as transgender, genderfluid or bigender while plenty of Sonic supporters support a fanmade Trans Fem version of Sonic the Hedgehog [27] [76] [77]. After all, there ought to be some great character development in the next game for the Switch 2 as Niko gains some after Lottie falls ill and becomes temporarily absent from work to receive medical attention at a certain point inHappy Home Paradise [42]. [6]

 
I know what some of my fellow Nintendo nerds are thinking. It is more likely that Nintendo will soon announce a Nintendo Switch 2 edition of New Horizons that may not only consist of Happy Home Paradise already installed but also notable new features [30] [42] [49]. Besides, there is hype for the Switch editions of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Super Mario Party Jamboree [49]. Said features might as well be a few those who prefer New Leaf miss [1], such as perfect fruit, music added to letters, the bingo minigame that can be not exclusively played during Winter and the villagers based on certain characters from other Nintendo franchises [55]. Additionally, there ought to be some aspects of Pocket Camp, such as fertilizer and those coral, yellow-blue and red-blue pansies [83] [84]. And yes, there ought to be some brand new elements to provide some individuality to make an enhanced port part of a new era, such as any of my previous suggestions or perhaps a new activity that requires the joy-cons’ mouse controls for the next chapter on the Switch 2 [49]. I have a feeling that enhanced ports of certain Nintendo Switch games, such as a “deluxe” edition of New Horizons shall prevent the upcoming successor from selling as badly as the Nintendo Wii U did [18] [49].

Even though I might miss out on Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV [49] [50], I am happy to stick to the standard version for the original Switch I got for my birthday [47]. [49] [50]

And of course, I bet plenty of old-school gamers would love to play the original Animal Crossing from the GameCube days on the Switch 2 [19] [49]. [49]

After Lara Croft’s return to tomb raiding and fortniting [80] [81], we are enlightened by the Nintendo Switch 2’s increased potential with the reveals of new features, such as mouse controls within the joy-cons and a camera accessory and upcoming titles, including Drag x Drive, Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza [49]. I strongly believe that said potential can be enhanced even further by the confirmation and reveal of the next Animal Crossing game, a Switch 2 edition of New Horizons or both [30] [76] [77] [78] [79] [84] [85]. There may not be room for every suggestion due to possible limitations, but we can still hope for the next experience to be just as beneficial for mental health and some more features can be added to the game as part of updates or DLC. We can also dive into new experiences outside of the Switch 2, such as Rad Venture, Starlight Re:Volver and Billie Bust Up (but on a certain condition [68] [71] [73]) [10] [11] [12] [58] [59] [65]. During the wait for the successor to the Switch that is named like a sequel and will be out this June, please show love and support for those in need or simply want to feel like they do not need to be afraid anymore [9] [13] [29] [87]. Moreover, keep expressing your creativity [69] [70], whether you consider yourself a Minecrafter [63] [64], a hazbean [62], an animal crosser or an aspiring game designer.

Plenty of us are excited to give the forthcoming experiences, especially Mario Kart World and another port of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild a try and a successor to New Horizons, an upgraded Switch 2 edition of it consisting of Happy Home Paradise or a spin-off title centred on a rehash of Animal Island with certain aspects of New Leaf, New Horizons and Happy Home Designer ought to be another one of them [39] [41] [49] [83] [84]. [49]

In the meantime, keep expressing your creativity as you follow your passions. I know I will keep expressing mine after naming my café “New Leaf Cafe”, my restaurant “Wild World Diner” [44], my hospital “Animal Forest Hospital” and my apparel shop “City Folk Apparel Shop” in Happy Home Paradise [40] [42]. Who knows when there will be an official crossover between Five Nights At Freddy’s and The Amazing Digital Circus [37] [88]? But for now, let us prepare for the 40^th anniversary of the Super Mario series and look forward to Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream [46] [48]. And if you still play a 3DS in 2025 [33], that is more than awesome. [52]
