– New fish and snapping turtle
– Toggle function included to change the camera view
– The camera can be changed to more of a top-down view with a click of the right analog stick, similar to how it once always was on GameCube with the first Animal Crossing
– When idle, Tom Nook and Isabelle clean around the office
– Isabelle can be seen dusting a shelf
– Tom Nook also dusts a shelf
– The two colleagues are always keeping busy when you walk in, rather than just sitting there, as if waiting for your arrival
