Now, Splatoon 3 is indeed a big upcoming game for Nintendo, and they want to give a lot of attention to it, and it's also worth considering that there's a lot of audience overlap, such as a lot of people who play Splatoon and also play Animal Crossing, but one of the bigger reasons people tend to cite is that some of the developers working on Animal Crossing New Horizons are also currently working on Splatoon franchise, the best example of which is Hisashi Nogami, who is the producer of Splatoon 3 and Animal Crossing New Horizons. Nintendo is creating more content and updates for New Horizons, and one of the biggest reasons Nintendo stopped New Horizons was the looming release of Splatoon 3. No more free ACNH updates, would like to see more DLC and would certainly be happy to offer Nintendo more money.Īnimal Crossing New Horizons Update News - Why ACNH Stop Updates?
