Animal Crossing: New Horizons players have begun saving Nook Miles in anticipation of the long-awaited 2.0 update, which will bring the game's world to the Kapp'n Islands. Kapp'n is a green turtle who first appeared in the original Animal Crossing game in 2001 as a ferry operator. Since then, he has appeared in every subsequent installment of the franchise as a driver of various modes of transportation.

The most recent Nintendo Direct, which took place on October 15, showcased a variety of new features that will be added to New Horizons as part of its most recent major free update. Some fan-favorite characters, such as Kapp'n and Brewster, the owner of the Roost cafe, were among those who made a comeback in the reveal. Like his previous appearance in New Horizons, Kapp'n will return in New Horizons as a boat captain, ferrying the player to islands on his motorized boat while singing a nice sea-shanty in the background.

In anticipation of Kapp'n's Boat Tours, many Animal Crossing players have begun to save their money, according to Kotaku's reporting. Players will be charged 1000 Nook Miles for the tours, which will take them to a special island that can only be reached by using Kapp'n's services. Some players have expressed dissatisfaction with the price, stating that they would prefer the boat captain to accept Bells instead, which are much easier to obtain. Because Nook Miles are earned by completing various tasks on a player's island, more casual players of New Horizons have discovered that they will need to devote some additional playtime to the game in order to accumulate the Miles required to embark on multiple boat tours in the game.

Kapp'n's tours take place on hidden gem islands, which will have unique properties that are not found on regular tours, despite the fact that the game offers a similar service in the form of Mystery Tours from Dodo Airlines. This will include entirely new flora as well as islands that are in a different season from the player's island, which means that seasonal bugs and fish can be obtained without the need to time travel by changing the Nintendo Switch's system clock, as previously reported. While Dodo Airlines tours are twice as expensive as Kapp'n's tours, they make use of Nook Miles Tickets, which can be exchanged between players. As a result, players who are short on Nook Miles can simply request that another player drop off some tickets for them, rather than having to wait patiently for their points to accumulate.

Given the game's lack of significant content updates since its release, NMT animal crossing (see game gold)'s understandable that more casual players may not have accumulated a large number of Nook Miles, as some fans struggled to find compelling reasons to continue playing the game. Those looking to earn Nook Miles in New Horizons in preparation for the 2.0 update, on the other hand, will need to put in some effort and time to complete the daily tasks required to earn the Miles. While some may consider Kapp'n's price to be excessive, it is a small price to pay in exchange for the opportunity to visit new islands and listen to his charming sea shanties.
