Animal Crossing New Horizons
© 2020 Nintendo of America
You've landed on your personal deserted island. You set up your tent and start exploring where you meet and trade with animal residents who are crafting things you need. This is an open world exploration experience with connectivity features that cost extra. You can move up from your tent to your own home, and help to make the island just the way you want it to be. You can also invite others to join the game. Features include continually updated content with seasonal items, including a spring “Bunny Day.” If you purchase the Switch online membership you can have access to NookLink which lets you scan a Custom Design QR Code pattern from previous Animal Crossing games (New Leaf or Happy Home Designer) to import content. You can also communicate with friends who own the game with the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app that uses your smartphone for keyboard for voice chat. The game is compatible with the Switch Lite. Note that only one island can exist per Nintendo Switch system. Up to eight players can live on the same island within one game. With one Nintendo Switch system and one game, up to four players can play on the same island at the same time. With additional systems and games, up to eight Nintendo Account holders can play on the same island at the same time via local wireless or online play.
