The console pack, which will be released on March 20, includes a code to download the video game; covers for the machine will also be marketed.
Arrive in town, buy a house, take care of the garden and the people around you. That is the premise of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the new installment of the saga planned exclusively for Nintendo Switch. The Japanese company has set March 20 as the launch date of the video game, which will also coincide with a new themed console with Animal Crossing prints, as Nintendo Spain has announced in its official channels.
The pack, Aloha Edition, which will go on sale at a recommended price of $ 299'99 (still no price in Europe), will include the console, the dock, two Joy-Con (green and blue) and a code of game download. Nintendo does not usually release the special versions of its consoles along with a physical copy of the video games. Be that as it may, this Nintendo Switch incorporates a drawing with the characters in the dock and island prints on the console.
In addition, those who want an extra protection for their Nintendo Switch will have the opportunity to get some covers decorated in the purest Animal Crossing style. Although at the beginning the American division has announced it, Europe has already echoed and confirmed that the covers will also be available in the Old Continent, which includes Spain.

Online mode for up to eight players
If you have tired of your neighbors in real life, you can always share virtual life with the characters that populate the village of Animal Crossing. New horizons open thanks to the online functions of the title. According to the official website, up to eight players may reside on the same island. As if that were not enough, from a console can join up to four players. Combining local and online multiplayer mode, the island will no longer seem deserted.
It should be noted that only one island can be created for each console account, so that the game will only have “a single save file,” explained on the website. If we want to log in to any other island from our Nintendo Switch, the requirements will be to do so “from a different Nintendo account”.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the great Nintendo Switch exclusives for the first half of the year. Without a Nintendo Direct on the horizon and with games like Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4 or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 without an expected date, the company faces a new year for its console full of unknowns. On FreeGameTips, we publish an article about it.
