You can give your villagers medicine in Animal Crossing, so that might actually work.

Animal Crossing has crossed over with Puzzle League and now Tetris. When's Animal Crossing/Dr. Mario?

The music selection will be interesting to see.

The peaceful music of Animal Crossing combined with the stress-inducing gameplay of Tetris 99 is going to give me a lot of tonal whiplash and I'm ready for it.

Some people would prefer a different update, however.

So we get this but we can't get the option to move town hall?
