It's crazy how this game has only had 1 DLC. My wife isn't a traditional gamer and has sunk so many hours into animal crossing.

If Nintendo had wanted to, they could have been doing DLCs and other content updates for it throughout the entirety of the Switch's lifespan and people would have lapped it up. If ever there was a Nintendo series that could be a GAAS and not be an abomination in the process, it's AC.

Wouldn't be surprised if they go with that with the next AC.

I wish it correlated with Pocket Camp. So many features, items and tasks that could have been brought over from PC that would have made the Switch AC better.

Could always try to ignite some absolutely out there hope that they Mario Kart Tour -> 8 Deluxe it (which itself was just wild, dlc 5 years after launch, and the sheer amount of tracks; but I digress) with the sunsetting of Pocket Camp.
