A cafe owned by the composed ‘Brewster’ — A cup of coffee is 200 bells. — You can run into camp residents at ‘The Roost’ — You can invite characters with compatible amiibo accessories in the cafe. Some people you choose to invite might bring company too. — You can have a cup of coffee with island friends too!
Kapp’n will be found hanging out on your pier — He’ll ferry you to a destination on his boat! (His pride and joy) Round trip will cost you 1,000 miles (Nook miles). It’s worth the boat ride through Kapp’n because he will sing to you as you go to your destination. That’s something DODO Airlines does not offer. — You will go to islands that Kapp’n only knows about. They are always different! Sometimes you go to an island at night with shooting stars, or an island mid-winter with snow!
Changes are going underway at Harvey’s Island. He wants to create a plaza with all sorts of shops with help from his long-time friend. Consider donating some bells to the cause. — Familiar island visitors will eventually start to set up shop.
Remember Nintendo Wii Fit? Nintendo brought back a little more nostalgia by intergrading group stretches that you can ACTUALLY do along with the game! — Friends can join along with you when visiting your island!
Isabella (Resident Representative) can now enact island ordinances. An example would be the ‘Early Bird” ordinance. This will make all the island residents awake and active earlier in the morning.

Home services that are offered have an update coming too! Now with more exterior options to meet your island theme/ landscape.
New items will be added to the Nook terminal located in City Hall. All of these items will be available for Nook miles. — Cooking will now be available through DIY Recipes+. You will be able to grow your own plants and make meals. Yes…actually be able to cook like Cooking Mama.

When redeeming nook miles there will be lots of new furniture that you can place on your Island. A handy tool that will be available with the update is a ‘Storage Shed’. I know it sounds funny but it makes sense why it got added. The ‘Storage Shed’ is extra storage ON TOP of the 3 times expansion in house storage.
You will now have an ABD (ATM) that you will get to place on your island. Yes, that means no more running to City Hall for your Bells.
Tired of always finding fossils in the ground and nothing really… interesting? Well, Nintendo has changed that with the update too. You can now dig up these ‘Gyroid’ or ‘Gyroid Fragment’. If you find a Gyroid fragment you are supposed to bury it in a hole to plant it and water it. They will mature into a Gyroid overnight! If they grow on your island, then you may seem to find more the day after it rains. The combinations of Gyroids make different sounds and noises making them an endless craft. You can also customize your Gyroid to fit your house theme!
Tom and Timmy have been hard at work bringing you a bunch of new furniture types to Nooks Cranny. The shop will also have never before seen furniture come its way.
A new craft item is available for purchase at Nooks Cranny in the sliding door cabinet. You will be able to craft…yes craft not pay for a wooden ladder that you can leave at cliffs to easily get up and down them.
Now you are able to place furniture closer and do a sidestep to get around smaller/ narrow spaces.
Remember to keep talking to your island visitors and friends. With the update, you will be able to get invited over or invite village friends over to your house!
