Nintendo has announced an Animal Crossing: New Horizons-themed Nintendo Switch special edition to go alongside your copy of the newest Animal Crossing game for the Switch. The themed Switch will be available on March 13, a few weeks before Animal Crossing: New Horizons is released.

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons-themed Switch comes with a variety of Animal Crossing-themed visual elements. The two Joy-Cons are sky blue and mint green, but adds a nice cream color accent underneath and on the grip accessories. They both also have matching color wrist straps.

Also, while the Switch’s body is still black, the back of the console features an Animal Crossing-themed back design. Even the dock features a lovely Animal Crossing-themed design that has the three members of the Nook clan.

You can pre-order the Animal Crossing Switch at Best Buy.

Nintendo has released special editions of the Nintendo Switch before, including ones for Pokemon Let’s Go and Diablo 3. But this Animal Crossing: New Horizons edition just might take the cake.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be released on March 20, 2020. It is the latest Animal Crossing game from Nintendo following Animal Crossing: New Life on the Nintendo Switch. It is also the first Animal Crossing game to be released on the Switch.

New Horizon features a vacation theme where players will travel to an island and set up their dream vacation home. Of course, Tom Nook will be there to put the players in a bit of debt that they’ll have to pay off.
