It's so freaking weird that Nintendo stopped supporting Animal Crossing New Horizons so early...Past games like New Leaf got so much support as it's such a damn cozy game! They had a truly magical situation where they could've kept people coming into Animal Crossing but blew it in the classic Nintendo style. Several DLC themed appropriately and expanding upon the in-game systems would've sold like hotcakes.

I would imagine someone will end up making some kind of service/app to connect to each other P2P with emulators, just as the old games have.
Isn't this still a wildly popular game? Is it closing?
It is not. This is the author's thoughts on what it will be like when eventually it gets shut down.
I logged on for the first time in a couple of years a few weeks ago because my daughter caught the itch to play again.
My avatar had a bear outfit on and a mask, lol.
Such a wild time 2020-2021 was. Anyhoo, I went fishing and tidied up a bit, pulling weeds. Ton of memories about that time.
I'm just hoping it's not another 12 years for the next one.
You want COVID 20 in 6 years? :P
I don't think it would be a problem when Nintendo would actually support it for longer than a year or two.
It's so strange how they didn't care with this one. New Leaf shipped with way more content than NH ever got and even received a massive update 4 years later. Meanwhile, NH doesn't even have a second upgrade for Nook's Cranny.
They could have hooked so many DLC into the pandemic crowd, but Nintendo does Nintendo things.
Imho, and I wrote that on Miiverse the other day, NH is just NL lite.
A nice read and a reminder of how strange lockdown was.
Well and for ACNL it literally is the last day ~(for online activities that is)~
I opened the article expecting to read about that and was surprised it was AC:NH
