Beloved franchise Animal Crossing gets ready for its Nintendo Switch debut!

If the hustle and bustle of modern life’s got you down, Tom Nook has a new business venture up his sleeve that he knows you’ll adore: the Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package! Sure, you’ve crossed paths with colorful characters near and far. Had a grand time as one of the city folk. May’ve even turned over a new leaf and dedicated yourself to public service! But deep down, isn’t there a part of you that longs for…freedom? Then perhaps a long walk on the beach of a deserted island, where a rich wealth of untouched nature awaits, is just what the doctor ordered!

Peaceful creativity and charm await as you roll up your sleeves and make your new life whatever you want it to be. Collect resources and craft everything from creature comforts to handy tools. Embrace your green thumb as you interact with flowers and trees in new ways. Set up a homestead where the rules of what goes indoors and out no longer apply. Make friends with new arrivals, enjoy the seasons, pole-vault across rivers as you explore, and more!

This new addition to the Animal Crossing series launches March 20, 2020, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system.



















Features

• Customize your character and home, and decorate the landscape (with furniture, if you like!), as you create your very own island paradise.
• Experience a robust new crafting system—collect materials to construct everything from furniture to tools!
• Enjoy a variety of relaxing activities like gardening, fishing, decorating, interacting with charming NPCs, and more, as classic Animal Crossing experiences come to life in fun new ways within the deserted-island setting.

It absolutely caters to a certain kind. It's for people that like to endlessly manage things with no clear stopping point. Relaxing, non-twitch gameplay.

These games definitely are not for me but a friend of mine bought the Switch just for this and her entire family wants to get their own Switches only for this game and nothing else. There is a huge market for this series.

So what?,it's not like every game has to appeal to you personally,I am pretty sure there will be lots of Switch owners that can't wait for this game to come out.

True. I’ve been looking forward to an Animal Crossing on Switch, since the Switch was first revealed in 2016.

Same here,it's seems a long time since "New Leaf" came out,and if I am being honest I much prefer the console versions,and in that aspect t's been even longer since "City Folk" was released,we were never going to get an Animal Crossing outing on the Wii U,although they did the Animal crossing themed Home screen thingy which gave us a glimpse of the Animals in HD,but from the E3 trailer things are looking much better.

I feel like Nintendo insulted the Animal Crossing fans with Amiibo Festival.

True,but they were never going to release a full Animal crossing game on the Wii U with it's 13 million or so users,much better to wait and release the game on the Switch where it has the potential to be the best selling game in the series.

The Nintendo Direct presentation didn't really tell us anything new, but it was still my favorite part of the presentation. Really can't wait for this one. I really love the somewhat 'soft' look of the game.
