After months and months of hoping from fans, Nintendo has finally confirmed Animal Crossing is coming to Nintendo Switch. It will be released in 2019.
Nintendo initially faked out fans during the Nintendo Direct with an introduction video from Isabelle from the franchise, which led to the announcement that Isabelle will be a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The Direct then segued to a message from Tom Nook, showing his support for Isabelle’s fighting career.
But more than that, the announcement trailer made sure to note that Tom had to make sure everyone had a place to return to after all the fighting and camping from Smash and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
