A recently discovered bug in Animal Crossing: New Horizons exposes octopus Marina’s full character design by removing her costume. A recent incident affecting the character Marina has provided the Animal Crossing: New Horizons community with a clear picture of how octopus characters seem in-game. Nintendo’s social simulator received its single DLC, Happy Home Paradise, as well as a huge version 2.0 upgrade last month. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is expected to receive a much smaller holiday-themed update in the near future.
The Animal Crossing: New Horizons version 2.0 update introduced a lot of free material to the game. It also gave the developers a chance to address some of the game’s bugs, such as the one that allowed players to infinitely replicate Bells. However, not all flaws were caught, and as is common with many updates, additional glitches arose.
A new problem in Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been discovered, according to Reddit user lootuska. It centres on the character Marina and her attire, or rather her lack thereof. The octopus’ outfit is completely removed by the bug, revealing her true appearance. Many of the comments on lootuska’s post made light of the matter by emphasising Marina’s “scandalous” status. Some, on the other hand, used the chance to laud the creators for their attention to detail and design on a game piece that isn’t meant to be visible by players under regular conditions.
There are numerous details that are hidden. Nintendo incorporated these unheralded levels of immersion into the most recent Animal Crossing game, and diligent players have begun to bring greater attention to them. One user recently showed how enormous fossils in New Horizons might cause damage to one’s home if placed inside. These distinctive touches have the potential to pique players’ interest and encourage them to look for other hidden gems that have been featured throughout the game.
Even though Animal Crossing: New Horizons has an adorable colourful backdrop with a wide variety of anthropomorphic animals, the game has an incredible level of grounded detail that generates nuanced levels of immersion. Nintendo’s design philosophy appears to have put a focus on establishing vibrant worlds in its games, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild being another recent title hailed for its intricate intricacies. This has become required in order to compete with the plethora of other immersive games now available. Nintendo should be applauded for making a game that makes logic and seems convincing, especially when that game allows an anthropomorphic octopus to distinguish between false and real artwork while also having a T-Rex skeleton bursting through her ceiling.
