At the end of January last month, Nintendo revealed that it will release a special edition of the Switch that will sport a design inspired by its upcoming game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The special Switch bundle is set to release on March 13, which is just seven days before New Horizons launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
Players who have already pre-ordered Animal Crossing: New Horizons and are interested in getting a brand new Nintendo Switch sporting an Animal Crossing design should know that pre-orders for the special Switch bundle went live recently. Unfortunately, pre-orders are currently sold out, but there is still a chance that it may come back into stock soon, and The Best War Games will update accordingly. The Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch Special Bundle is priced at $299.99. Dubbed as the Aloha Edition, the unique bundle comes with a mint-colored and baby blue-colored pair of Joy-Cons, and a dock that features a tiny island with Tom, Timmy, and Tommy Nook.
The Switch itself has a patterned matte-black design at the back and features various Animal Crossing characters and objects spread throughout the console. It is worth remembering that the special bundle does not include a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Of course, while the special edition Switch is definitely a must buy, it wouldn't be practical for Animal Crossing fans who already own the Switch to purchase the console again, especially since the only difference the bundle offers is a cosmetic one. Luckily, a cheaper alternative is available in the form of Nintendo licensed Animal Crossing skins for the Switch.
Pre-order the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Special Switch Bundle from the following retailers:
Meanwhile, players who will be purchasing the upcoming game digitally should know that Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be taking up 6.2GB of space. It is worth noting that 6.2GB is larger than most games that are available for the Switch right now. For example, Super Mario Odyssey is at 5.5 GB, and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is at 5.8 GB.
Moreover, other unconfirmed details about Animal Crossing: New Horizons recently came into light such as "the transfer of user and save data between consoles is not supported by this software." Although this specific detail still hasn't been announced by Nintendo, players who are interested in getting the game should consider this, especially those who own both the Switch and Switch Lite.
