Nintendo takes inspiration from the new Animal Crossing: New Horizons and launches a "tropical" edition of Switch

The new Animal Crossing: New Horizons will hit the market on March 20. To commemorate the debut of the first game of the popular series on Nintendo Switch, the Japanese manufacturer decided to surprise its most enthusiastic fans. On the same launch day, a special and limited edition of the console will also arrive with a design inspired by the title and even a download code for the most tropical chapter in the Animal Crossing saga.

The Nintendo Switch features small themed illustrations on its back, also including Joy-Con controls in shades of green, pastel blue and white with colorful wrist straps. The console dock remains in the same color scheme, with the presence of Tom Nook and the Nookliings Timmy and Tommy highlighted. But not everything: on the same day, sets of carrying cases and screen protectors inspired by the game will be available, both for the original version of Switch and for Lite.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players will be able to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life on a trip in the Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package. Arriving on a desert island, I will have the opportunity to start a new life. In the paradise destination, players can spend their days decorating houses, try their luck in the world of gardening and fishing or simply make new friends. In the new title of the series, novelties in the manufacture of objects are highlighted, such as the NookPhone.
