The 3DS online services getting shut down has got me thinking about how playable NH will be when this inevitably happens to the Switch as well. What do you think? Do you think we'll ever get updates to make that easier or maybe fanmade workarounds?
For example, we've gotten Cyrus which has made it easier to collect furniture variants without trading online. On the other hand, patterns/custom designs rely on the Nintendo Online service, so I'm not sure how that'll work when servers get shut down. At least in NL the QR codes still function without an online connection. I think the older games dating back from a time when there was less focus on online stuff means we're only deprived of *some*, not-that-essential things, but I wonder if it'll be trickier to preserve NL content :c
