The feature was a big part of New Leaf for the 3DS. In that game you could build a &#8216;Dream Suite&#8217; as a public works project. Luna worked at the Dream Suite and the feature allowed you to visit random towns or a specific town if you knew the Dream code for the town. You could also save and upload your own town for others to see. It looks like Luna won&#8217;t eat up shop in the island but will be accessible by going to sleep on a bad.<\/p>\n<p>The update also adds a new island backup service that lets Nintendo Switch Online members back up the game\u2019s save file. This feature is something that has been wanted for the game by many since the game was announced.<\/p>\n<p>Available starting on July 30, the free Summer Update \u2013 Wave 2 will add the following features to the game:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fireworks Shows<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Enjoy atmospheric fireworks lighting up the sky above your island every Sunday in August at 7 p.m. Get in the spirit by redeeming Bells for raffle tickets in the plaza to get various festive items that you can use. Put your personal spin on the fireworks display by using your own custom design pattern to see it shot in the air as a firework in the sky!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dreaming<\/strong> \u2013 You can now choose to take a nap in any bed placed in your home. While dozing off, you may find yourself in a strange realm where you\u2019ll be greeted by Luna. Luna offers visits to other islands as a dream, and with her help, you can share your island as a dream with others too. She will grant those who share their island a \u201cDream Address\u201d which players can exchange and use to visit each other\u2019s island in a dream. In dreams, nothing is permanent because nothing you do is saved, so explore to your heart\u2019s content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Island Backup &amp; Restoration Service\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Nintendo Switch Online members can enable the new island backup service, which automatically uploads island and user save data to the internet at certain times. If your Nintendo Switch system is lost or damaged, you may be able to recover your island paradise as long as you\u2019ve enabled island backup. In the event of loss or damage, contact Nintendo Consumer Support about restoring the island and user save data on your new or repaired Nintendo Switch system. After your island data and individual player data is restored, you can get back to building your island community! Additional details can be found on the <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"http:\/\/support.nintendo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nintendo Consumer Support page<\/a>\u00a0when the update goes live. The island backup feature is separate from the Save Data Cloud functionality offered for select Nintendo Switch games through Nintendo Switch Online. A function specific to\u00a0<em>Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/em>\u00a0to move users and save data to another system is planned for later this year. Details will be announced in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/InDJvcWtTCw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo has released a new video with details for the free August update in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
