i have a cousin who passed away that i would infrequently visit her pocket camp site. sad that it will disappear forever 😢

[fathomlessgore]

I'm extremely devastated ACPC is shutting down. I've played it every day religiously since it's launch. Since I was 14-15. It's been the one constant in my life, it's part of my every day routine. As dumb as it may sound that game has honestly kept me going as my only limelight through some really rough times growing up. And I still have plenty of friends through the game who I've shared things with on there for years. Sad to know I will never know who those people are or say goodbye to them. Rip Pocket Camp 💔

Animal Crossing sells over 45 million lifetime units... and Nintendo stops supporting it...

[Atlazuko]

its gonna be a single player game after it closes down there will be a one time fee and no more paywalling from what i heard

[WubstahWulf]

we have pretendo now if you are not aware of it, its a effort to keep the WII U and 3DS online, there is a fully working resurrected Miiverse aswell and its actively being developed and more games are being made compatible to play online

[saberkite]

TBH I'm not surprised that they've shut down the online services for older games. It likely eats up a lot of Nintendo's resources, and the amount of people playing New Leaf isn't enough for them to justify keeping it, unless it's a paid option. I love the online games though and I wish there's still a version of that available to access when playing New Leaf.

I hope Pocket Camp gets released internationally. It was never released in my region. The only way I got it was to create a new iCloud profile in a location that's covered.

New Leaf: All those towns will be lost in time, like tears in the rain...

[finncoleman]

The footage of being on the online island made me so sad and nostalgic, I played New Leaf since I was like 8 years old and I turned 20 this year, I miss it :')

[DAMDO]

that's crazy.. the whole reason i was mad about them shutting down Citra (3DS Emulator) is because i was just planning to start playing New Leaf on my PC, and now you're telling me they're taking the game off their own shop? it's almost like they desperately try to prevent us from playing New Leaf.. physical copies aren't in stores either anymore (at least, not where i live)
if anyone can help me out emulating this game, would be nice :)

[mochis_space_bun]

I wish the ACNH would get updated regularly 😢

[BANSHEE]

what the actual hell is with nintendo and disappointing their players all the time

[stargrimm]

Maybe they are limiting access to the old games and pocket camp so that that Nintendo has everyone’s undivided attention on what’s coming next?

[esmeentie]

They better be making the most amazing Animal Crossing game yet or I will be PISSED

[FluffyASMRUwU]

All I want is Nintendo to make one small update for New horizons so you can at least change the name of the island

[boocrimson]

All I ask is them to nicely include some of the pocket camp stuff in the new AC for Switch 2

[ratatatatar]

I literally just bought a switch to play animal crossing, maybe im bad luck my bad guys

[winterbelle]

I'm gonna miss pocket camp T^T and without online service, how are we going to get the market box fruits?? will everyone get all the fruit trees or will everyone just have to stick with one fruit out of three? I guess it doesn't matter much, but I'm hoping if they're refining it like this they'll add in some new features

[Soandnb]

Maybe I'm just an old dog, but why is it bad that New Horizons isn't getting content anymore? New Leaf itself was released in its full, finished state at launch, and only got a single, substantial update long after the game was released. And yet people never complained about it needing updates. Has the concept of Live Service really spoiled the expectation of people in such a short timeframe?
Or perhaps New Horizons lacks the particular *je ne sais quoi* that give Animal Crossing games their unique identity, and people are hoping that updates would fill that void.

[BrickColliders]

When the next Animal Crossing game comes out😊, the island where players hang out with each other and play minigames together needs to make its return! I'm part of the group of people who miss it😢

[catholiccontriversy]

I'm actually glad about pocket camp being single player. I don't have a great data plan so I was kind of limited to where I had wifi, but where I have wifi I generally found myself doing something else like playing my switch or surfing the web. Now I have more reason to play it since it'll become one of my "apps to use when I don't have wifi."
