GAMING CO-EDITOR LOUISA SADLER
THE NEW ANIMAL CROSSING UPDAT
E
BY LOUISA SADLER
As a fan of Animal Crossing, I was looking forward to playing the new major update that was released EARLY on 4th November as opposed to releasing on 5th November. I thought I would share some of my thoughts and experiences whilst playing the new update.
COOKING AND FARMING The cooking and farming aspect of the new update is really cool. Instead of only planting flowers and pumpkins, you can now grow your own carrots, tomatoes, wheat, sugarcane and potatoes to help craft recipes that you find either in Nooks Cranny, bottles from the beach and on mystery islands and from villagers themselves. It evens allows you to use the fruit from your fruit trees and create
and cook recipes from fish that you catch; finally giving the dreaded Sea Bass a reason to be caught! So far, I’ve managed to grow everything apart from potatoes and have managed to obtain around 30ish recipes. Some of my recipes are sitting on my kitchen table which include organic bread and a cherry smoothie. I’m looking forward to seeing what new recipes I will be cooking up in the future!
BREWSTER Back when Animal Crossing was on the DS, I remember visiting Brewster in the museum for this Coffee and I’m so glad I get to do it again with New Horizons thanks to this update. I like that Brewster
