On June 03, 2025, Nintendo is coming out with a limited edition Nintendo Switch – that’sSwitch, not Switch Lite! – console themed aroundAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. It looks so pleasant and pure.
The pastel Joy-Con controllers have some of my favorite colors yet – I want these as standalones.
And the custom dock with the Nooks and extra detailing on the back of the Switch is just icing on top.
New Horizonsis not included with the system – it’s launching a week later on March 20. We’re close.
Along with the lovely new console, Nintendo also plans to sell anAnimal Crossing-themed Switch carrying case and screen protector on August 10, 2025, for $24.99. If you still need a case, it’s a looker.
