The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition of the Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular versions of the console, and it’s easy to see why. The cute characters on the dock and the calming shades of the Joy-Cons are a major shift from its usual colors, and if you’re a hardcore fan of the Animal Crossing series, it’s a must-own device. The Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition is almost always sold out in retailers, but the console is currently available on Amazon for $299, where it’s in stock and available for delivery as soon as next week.
The most striking characteristic of the Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition is its white dock, featuring series mainstay Tom Nook on an island with Timmy and Tommy. Some special editions of the console also have characters or logos on the dock, such as the fighters on the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Edition, but this is the first time that the dock moves away from its traditional black color.
The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition also comes with a pair of Joy-Cons in seafoam green and sky blue, with matching straps and white sliders. The back of the console, meanwhile, is designed with characters and objects that complete its adorable aesthetics.
The purchase, however, doesn’t come with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The game lets you explore and customize your own island, which you can then show off to your friends as you visit theirs. It should obviously be paired with this special edition of the console, but if you’re looking for something else, the growing library of Nintendo Switch games has something to offer to everyone.
There is high demand for the Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition, and it is rare to see it available on any retailer. Amazon is currently offering it for $299, and while deliveries will not start until next week, this is your chance to secure the coveted console, whether for yourself or as a gift for the upcoming holiday season if it’s part of your child’s wishlist. You should not have second thoughts on taking advantage of the deal, as there is no telling how fast stocks will run out again. However, if you miss this chance, with Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals on the horizon you will still have plenty of time to get your holiday shopping in.
