(Image credit: Nintendo) One of the most heart-wrenching aspects of the update involves reunions with former residents. “Seeing my original villager return for a visit actually brought me to tears,” shared one player. In a touching moment, their old friend Peanut actually remembered their time spent living on the island together.
“The best detail is that former residents recognize you when they visit the hotel,” noted another fan. This sense of continuity is a welcome change from the Happy Home Paradise DLC, where former neighbors often act as though they’ve never met you, a realization that can be surprisingly painful for long-time players.
This emotional resonance is undoubtedly the highlight of the hotel expansion. While letting a favorite villager move on is always difficult, the possibility of a future reunion makes those goodbyes far more bearable. It provides a sense of closure, knowing that the relationships built aren’t simply erased—unless we’re talking about Chester. He’s a permanent fixture on my island, and I’m never letting him go.
As the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to evolve, the series maintains its unique ability to surprise and move its audience, regardless of how long they’ve been away from their digital paradise.
