Where to buy a Nintendo Switch today for delivery next week

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.

When it comes to the video game industry, we're currently living in an age of speculation. Players are no longer satisfied just getting news on upcoming games by patiently waiting for announcements. Insiders and leakers have become a fundamental part of the game hype cycle in the social media age, fueling a need for unofficial scoops. When a gaming livestream gets announced, it's usually surrounded by tons of rumors, leaks, and predictions that set some high expectations. It's easy to get disappointed by something like Nintendo's September Direct when leaks from high-profile insiders wind up being a bust.

But what if I told you that you can become your own insider, especially when it comes to Nintendo Switch? Yes, you can create your own realistic predictions with ease rather than getting let down by enticing Reddit threads. All you have to do is follow Nintendo's development cycle patterns, which have become crystal clear following today's Direct showcase.
Five-year plan
The deeper we get into the Nintendo Switch's life cycle, the more clear patterns in Nintendo's release cadence are starting to show. If you look at the company's first-party 2022 release calendar, you might notice that it looks a little familiar. That's because a good half of it has been comprised of sequels to games that hit the console in 2017.

Naturally, I had to review them. For journalistic purposes, of course.
