Brewster & Crazy Redd
We get it, the times change and some old, iconic characters from the series have had to hang up their hats. Tortimer hasn’t made it to the island while Joan’s passed her Turnip business down to Daisy Mae. Even the lovely Kapp’n is no longer ferrying us about by road or sea.
But there are two omissions in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that seem to be a little odd. Brewster the old cafe owner in the basement of the museum isn’t around to give us a hot cup of Joe on the daily. He didn’t add a lot in terms of gameplay value, but he was another islander you could befriend. Plus, his cafe made the perfect venue for the one and only K.K. Slider.
Crazy Redd, on the other hand, was a bit of a wheeler dealer type who’d occasionally come to town in his tent and sell a variety of paintings. Some were real, some were fake, and it was down to players to deduce which were which and then donate the real deal to Blathers at the museum.
Again, Redd doesn’t appear to have made the cut for the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so we can only hope that he comes at a later date. We’re not holding our breath, though, as it’d require a considerable overhaul to the museum interior, too.
