Animal Crossing New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

Animal Crossing: New Horizons invites you to create your island paradise at your own pace as you garden, fish, decorate, hunt for bugs and fossils, get to know the residents and more. The time of day and seasons mirror the ebb and flow of real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.
 
Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 with several enhancements to enjoy, including:

• Improved resolution (4K in TV mode).
• Mouse controls with the right Joy-Con 2 controller to decorate indoors, create Custom Designs and even compose hand-written bulletin-board messages.
• Locate residents by calling their names by using the in-game megaphone item and the built-in Nintendo Switch 2 microphone.
• Join 12-player online multiplayer sessions if everyone is playing the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

A carefree new life is just beyond the horizon! Step off the plane and onto your very own deserted island where new friends, discoveries and opportunities are waiting for you.

Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy the sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Animal Crossing: New Horizons uses the unique features of the console to offer even more ways to enjoy your island paradise!

Features:

• Your island, clearer than ever: With the enhanced 4K resolution of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, you’ll be able to see your island and its residents even clearer than before!
• Get creative with mouse controls: Use the intuitive mouse controls of the Joy-Con 2 controller to redecorate your home, organise your furniture, create Custom Designs and even draw posts for the bulletin board.
• New item – Megaphone: Purchase the Megaphone from Nook’s Cranny, then use it to find your island friends by calling out their names. The built-in microphone of Nintendo Switch 2 will help find where they are, even if they’re far away from you!
• Play with more friends at once: In the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, up to 12 players can play together on one island online or up to eight players via local wireless play. With GameChat, you’ll be able to talk to your friends while playing with them. And by connecting a compatible USB-C camera, such as the Nintendo Switch 2 camera (sold separately), they’ll be able to see your expressions as you play!

• Resort Hotel’s Grand Opening: A resort hotel is opening on the pier, and it’s run by Kapp’n’s family. To bring in guests from off the island, you’ll help out by decorating guest rooms and more. Plus, find new furniture and clothing at the souvenir shop and dress up mannequins with outfits that guests can wear.

• Making Island Life More Convenient: Want a fresh start? Resetti is on hand with a convenient Reset Service to help tidy up your island. Additionally, you can now upgrade your home storage to hold up to 9,000 items, and store trees, shrubs and flowers there, too.
• Slumber Islands: Players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership can design and save up to three islands and play with friends online. Select the size and layout of the island, build and design it collaboratively, access your inventory and decorate your island plus invite residents from your home island.
• Collaborations: Collect Nintendo items like the Ultra Hand and Nintendo consoles in-game to add some classic flair to your island. Nintendo Switch Online members can play selected classic Nintendo titles in-game when interacting with specific Nintendo console items, too. LEGO® items will also make their debut with this update. Additionally, you can use selected The Legend of Zelda and Splatoon series amiibo to invite certain characters — and unlock various items inspired by those series.
