i think with new leaf, even though we all complain about how time consuming new horizons can be, new leaf’s time constraints are very fair. you were expecting each and every upgrade and were acutely aware of the timeline of events in which you achieve them. the average player who is just playing to play wouldn’t know those things and therefore each upgrade would be a surprise. the point is to play casually, be chill, play normally and spend bells at the nook store so that eventually it’ll keep expanding the more you play. the more days you play (irl, not just in-game), the more your town tree will expand. once it’s at level 3 or 4 (i don’t remember), you’ll be able to see your achievements, such as the shops that have upgraded so far, the villagers who have moved in since the beginning of your game, the dates of each shop opening and upgrading, etc. new leaf rewards you for waiting and playing the game day by day, while new horizons gives you absolutely nothing for it. you wait irl days to do things that could’ve easily be given to you in the same day, and you’re given things at the wiggle of your joystick and the tap of a button that could’ve been drawn out and worked towards for that sweet feeling of working hard and achieving your goals. plus, the waiting for each upgrade and each shop to open after meeting prerequisites always leaves you something to look forward to, leaves you feeling anticipation, and adds to the longevity of the game, whereas with new horizons there’s nothing to work towards besides the eventual completion of your island layout and aesthetic.
hiiii ur wrong about the dream suite being forever locked post-shutdown, you have to ATTEMPT to travel to a faraway town and then be faced with the internet error. i started a town on 4/20/24 and was able to unlock the (albeit unusable) dream suite
