Our Review

Animal Crossing fans rejoice! Nintendo answered the prayers of the many and have released a Nintendo Switch console that’s themed around one of the best series in the publisher’s history. The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch Edition is perfectly paired with green and blue pastel Joy-Cons. The dock is a light beige with pastel blue waters and the bottom. And Tom Nook with Timmy and Tommy can be seen on an island awaiting your arrival (and bells).
The back of the Switch is all black as usual with Animal Crossing iconography spread throughout. But I should note that the system doesn’t come with a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons itself. So you’ll need to order that separately.

Animal Crossing has been one of Nintendo’s most beloved franchises for years now. And now, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can create a brand new island getaway on the Nintendo Switch. Which means you can take care of your gardening, decorating, fishing, and loan repayments at home or on the go thanks to the Switch’s versatility.
The game has a bunch of new features over prior iterations in the series. There are neighbors both new and old to befriend. A new crafting system has been implemented too. And plenty, plenty more.

There’s a lot of Monopoly games out there, but the Monopoly Animal Crossing New Horizons Edition is something really unique. It sets aside traditional Monopoly rules and instead employs gameplay directly inspired by New Horizons.

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2022 Day-to-Day Calendar is one of my favorite Animal Crossing gift ideas. It’s a desk calendar with tear-off pages, so it can be placed anywhere. The pages are full color and feature a ton of cool facts about the many residents that could live in your town. And its pages notify you of all the various national and widely celebrated holidays throughout the year.
If you’re shopping for other video game lovers, there are also great calendars featuring The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, and Mario Kart too.

But if nothing else, it’ll surely provide insight on how to get Tom Nook off your back for that second/third/fourth loan that you took out.

Ah, Tom Nook. Those familiar with the series know that in each iteration, Mr. Nook finds some way to ensure that you’re indebted to him for an astonishing amount of bells.
