Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 10 Features Fans Are BEGGING For
Less Bunny Days, more froggy chairs.
It would be a huge mistake to say fans aren't pleased with Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The latest addition to the franchise has already smashed records as the third fastest-selling Nintendo game ever, alongside fastest-selling digital game of all time. Gamers have flocked to their own personal tropical paradises to catch critters, decorate dream homes and, as always, pay off huge amounts of debt to their favourite tanuki capitalist, Tom Nook.
However, despite New Horizon's explosive success, there are a few hindrances that have sullied parts of the gameplay for prospective islanders. New Horizons is in no way a bad game; it's quite the opposite.
However, frustrating interfaces, missing features, and sluggish mechanics are small obstacles that stop New Horizons from attaining perfection.
Fans have taken to all corners of the internet to voice their opinions about what changes and returning features they’d like to see on the island. Will we see these dreams come to fruition, or will they remain as buried fossils - dead and forgotten?
10. Crafting In Bulk
Everyone has been there: you spend your day digging up manila clams for fish bait or collecting wood to make a bazillion bells off Nook’s Cranny's hot item wardrobe. Then, when you reach your crafting table to flex your DIY skills, you spend the next 20 minutes laboriously crafting each item one by one, asked again and again if you’re absolutely sure you want to build a fifth wooden-toy block.
This missing feature feels like a huge oversight by the developers, as the constant barrage of text-boxes players need to tap through become more and more infuriating with each passing crafted tool.
Another oversight becomes clear when crafting inside your home. Crafting would be much easier if New Horizons allowed players to craft from storage. Instead, you must have all your crafting items in your pockets to build a specific recipe, meaning you’ll have to scroll through all your clothing and other storage knick-knacks to weed out necessary materials.
This wouldn't be an earth-shattering new mechanic to implement either. Stardew Valley allows players to cook with whatever’s in their inventory and fridge when cooking in the kitchenette. Nintendo take note!
