Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp's New "Pecan's House Cookie" Event Goes Live

Love the tagline

I don't play handphone games.
I play Nintendo Switch.

It depresses me how much cool and unique content games like this and Mario Kart Tour are getting vs. the main series games. It's clear where Nintendo's priorities lie

@C-Olimar Amen. Animal Crossing New Horizons could use these items so much more. Imagine NH with Pocket Camp items. Just imagine the possibilities, the amazing towns that people would create. It breaks my heart that there is so little to decorate with in NH. =(

Nintendo is trying to get people to buy Nintendo by saying hey look how dedicated we are to these mobile games, aren't they fun, now buy a switch and you'll get the same thing. But you don't.

@FroZtedFlakerZz @Harmonie @C-Olimar To be fair, the reason why mobile games get all these extras is cause it makes them money. Quick maths, you get these items in lootboxes with premium currency. Assuming you got no duplicates, that's £20 worth of premium currency. (50LT each ×10 total items) Oof. 😳
Also NL, the game has lots of events but you cover specifically this one? Why?

Yeah, I get that and I'd like to think I wouldn't do that if I had a gaming company but I probably would.

Also NL the event lasts for 90 days not 4.

@C-Olimar As someone who fell out of Tour and PC (and occasionally checks back in from time to time), there's definitely a give and take to it all:

The F2P aspect constantly eating at you to spend money (including gacha mechanics, forced waiting, and the digital currency economy), the limited-time characters and items, the non-stop events that practically become a job, being simplified versions of their console counterparts, no offline mode...

It's definitely down to preference, but seeing how F2P games function makes me appreciate that I can just spend a chunk of money once and enjoy a generally complete game. On a platform with tactile controls.

@acNewUpdates I get it, but it doesn't change the fact that NH is lacking in furniture of all types, and Pocket Camp is full to the brim with furniture that would make NH so much more interesting to decorate.

I remember when the pirate Gulliver update came about. In Pocket Camp it was full of all kinds of neat items for decorating a town (like a fountain, fences, outdoor table/seating,etc.,etc.). When the NH pirate Gulliver came out...it was just the gimmicky pirate items like the treasure chest. Extremely disappointing. And it has really set the tone for NH. Heck, with the most recent update we got barely anything. It's really disappointing. NH would be so amazing if they quit holding back all of this amazing furniture, and I mean that goes beyond PC. NH is also missing a boatload of furniture from NL/HHD. Many of the items which are perfect for placing outdoors included in those missing. =/

@acNewUpdates @DTFaux yeah I get why this is the case, I'm just sad about the state of gaming.

Nintendo as a business has a duty to make as much money as possible,so I can't fault them for going down this kind of path. And it could be far worse - there's no Animal Crossing season pass or loot boxes in Mario Kart (yet).
