Even if the majority Animal Crossing: New Horizons While fans may be celebrating the release of the Switch 2 version and Update 3.0, those with a love for adult comedy are in mourning. This is because, despite Nintendo leaving it untouched for half a decade, one of the funnest islands. Animal Crossing: New Horizons Just got banned.
Lots of secrets though Animal Crossing: New Horizons While features not mentioned in the patch notes are beneficial, such as a new form of movement for easier decoration, one controversial change not mentioned is a sweep for the NSFW Dream Islands. While it makes sense that Nintendo wants to keep Animal Crossing Series as possible as PG – it has always been a family-oriented company, and New Horizons All are rated E – which doesn't make players any less frustrated. One of the deleted dream islands was particularly famous among Japanese players, as it was visited by many streamers like @retrogametv1 and served as a constant source of 18+ humor when active.
What this mature island is made of New Horizons Player @churip_ccc stood out, with the following adult-oriented jokes:
-
A “free information center” that greets players upon landing is used in Japan to guide residents to brothels, strip clubs, and the like.
-
A red light district with everything from pachinko parlors and saunas to “natural herb” vending stands.
-
A “Love Hotel” featuring several copies of Michelangelo's David sculpture outside its doors. Trees are used to block all parts of the idol except the exposed genitals.
-
Blathers' room is littered with used tissues, including several Isabel photographs by the museum curator's bedside. Tom Nook's room is equally rude.
The creator of Animal Crossing's Adult Island knew its days were numbered
The island's points of interest can be seen in the video above, and even though everything is in Japanese, no language barrier can prevent this kind of humor from being translated. As funny as this New Horizons Dream Island is, it's clear that a lot of work went into creating it. As such, fans of Adult Island are celebrating its creator following the disappointing news that the location is no longer accessible. One might expect @churip_ccc to be similarly disappointed, but the producer has taken steps to remove the dream address, even thanking Nintendo for “not seeing it” for so long.
Per Automaton Media, the tweet above translates to: “In fact, a day before the update, the dream address for Adult Island was deleted by Nintendo. To Nintendo, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Or rather, thank you for turning a blind eye for more than five years. Thank you very much to everyone who visited the island, and to all the streamers who showed up in their videos.
It's unclear if @churip_ccc is right about Nintendo looking the other way and letting players enjoy the island for years. On the one hand, some dream islands have been banned in the past for being offensive, and the 2.0 update would have been a perfectly valid time to remove the dream address for this particular location, so it seems strange that such a famous outlet would stay with adult content. On the other hand, there are undoubtedly thousands of active dream islands within New Horizons To see Nintendo, so it's possible – if unlikely, given how notorious it is – that it slipped through the cracks. Players will never know if the funny island was deliberately given time to shine or @churip_ccc just got lucky, but the result remains the same: the island is gone and can only be seen through recordings.
Thanks to the players able to decorate together Animal Crossing's New Horizons' Big update, those looking to build their own adult islands will have an easier time doing so. Publishing them as Dream Island is probably not the best idea, however, as it is now clear that they will (eventually) be removed.
