Today’s spotlight is the fact that the Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing console is finally up for preorder on Amazon. Up to now it’s been available at other vendors but Amazon had been holding out. Note that this console does not include the actual Animal Crossing: New Horizons game and currently the best place to get it is at Best Buy. Check these out and more below.
Out 3/13: Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Edition Preorders Now Up on Amazon
This is, in my opinion, the best looking Switch out there. Every part of the Switch has been themed. The Joy-Con controllers are a pastel blue and green, the back of the Switch is embossed with an Animal Crossing design, and even the dock has a full color Animal Theme decal. I already own a Switch and for the first time I’m jealous of anyone who gets a hold of this one. RIght now, it’s only available at select vendors.

A Great Value Power Bank for the Nintendo Switch
This 30,000mAh power bank will work well with your Switch for these reasons:
- It supports USB-PD (Power Delivery) charging up to 18W, equal to the official charger
- Thanks to the full 18W of charging output, it can fully recharge a dead Switch in 3.5 hours
- The Switch has a battery capacity of about 4500mAh, so you could fully charge it 6 times
- USB-PD power banks can charge the Switch even while you’re playing a game
It has solid user reviews and costs four times less than the official Switch power bank.
Another Power Bank Alternative That’s Smaller, Lighter, and Less Expensive
This Aukey 10,000mAh USB Power Bank also features USB Power Delivery for the maximum charging rate for your Nintendo Switch, which means it should charge a fully depleted Switch in about 3 hours. It’s half the battery capacity as the option above, but it can still charge a Switch 2 full times. It has a much smaller footprint than the 20,000mah model.
