Summary

- An Animal Crossing fan created an adorable diorama featuring Stitches using a Nintendo DS as set dressing.
- The popularity of the Animal Crossing series has led to impressive fan art such as this diorama, with speculation about the future of the franchise continuing to be seen online.
An Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan online has shared their adorable diorama, which pays tribute to Stitches by using a Nintendo DS as a decoration. Animal Crossing: New Horizons features plenty of adorable villagers, but Stitches remains a fan-favorite.
The popularity of Stitches in Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes mostly down to his appearance, with it being one of the most unique in the game by far. The sewn X's instead of eyes add a ton of character to the teddy-bear-looking Villager, even if some might find it a little creepy. Since his first appearance in Animal Crossing: Wild World, he has been one of the easiest Villagers to befriend, thanks to a lazy personality type that gives him a friendly disposition toward players.
The Next Animal Crossing Increasing Building Space Would Have an Extra Benefit
The next Animal Crossing will likely feature a plethora of additions including increased building space, which could lead to unparalleled freedom.
The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Stitches Diorama is Stunning
The amazing diorama was shared online by Redditor Accomplished-Top4709. It features an open Nintendo DS, which has been decorated by the fan to include various plants and greenery, as well as a mini-figure of Stitches himself. It even has a cute screenshot of Stitches taken directly from the game behind the diorama. When seeing creations like this, it's no wonder that Stitches is commonly seen as one of the cutest Villagers in Animal Crossing.
Because of the popularity of the Villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there has been a ton of impressive fan art to emerge from the game since its initial release back in 2020. One gamer even turned their favorite Animal Crossing: New Horizons Villager into a Sims character, showing how that love and appreciation can spill over into other titles at times. At this point, Animal Crossing is the type of established series that will always have a dedicated core fan base, and it's always exciting to see what the creatively minded among them have to offer.
Despite Animal Crossing: New Horizons being a huge seller for Nintendo, there is still no sign of a sequel on the horizon almost four years since its release. Only a single DLC was ever released for the game titled Happy Home Paradise, and understandably, players are beginning to speculate about what might come next for the series. When looking at what to expect from Animal Crossing in 2024, anything is possible. Although there were eight years between New Leaf and New Horizons, the strong performance of the most recent iteration makes a similar wait unlikely this time around. Hopefully, 2024 is the year where gamers begin to hear more concrete news about the future. Whatever happens, fans can only hope Stitches is around for whatever comes next.
