This year we're actually get a new Animal Crossing adventure.

Yes, that's right,

we're going to see Tom Nook and Isabelle again. We are truly blessed. Animal
Crossing: New Horizons is set to whisk you away to deserted island you can
customise however you wish. The already dreamy-looking island getaway lets us jet-
set to our very own little paradise, and as we get ever closer to the release date,
we're steadily learning more and more about one of the most anticipated upcoming
games on Switch.
So, while you wait for your departure in March, we've gathered together everything
we know so far about Animal Crossing: New Horizons. And to get as prepared as
possible for your upcoming trip to the island, we'll be continuously updating it
with anything new, so be sure to check back often:

Players embark on an ultra-exclusive Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package and
enjoy a peaceful existence full of creativity, charm and the freedom to roll up
their sleeves and make their new life whatever they want it to be," reads the
official Nintendo press release. "Players can collect resources they can craft into
everything from creature comforts to handy tools as they set up a homestead they
can decorate freely, both inside and out."
The focus with Animal Crossing: New Horizons is crafting. By collecting all the
things you're used to in the Animal Crossing series, like wood (soft and hard),
weeds, flowers, rocks and more, to craft things like furniture and tools. In the
above trailer you craft a 'flimsy axe', which you can use to chop down trees. You
can still buy items from Timmy nook's shop though, so there are plenty of options
for you to obtain new things.

The recipes for crafting themselves are hidden away inside your brand new Nook
phone, via an app. You'll be acquiring new recipes through other animals, or by
discovering new items, or just directly buying them from the store. There's also a
new Nook Miles programme, where you can activities earn you miles, meaning there's
a much stronger sense of progression in the game.
You can also use the Nook phone to call an islander to come and help you out in
your various tasks. Animal Crossing: New Islanders co-op confirmed! Up to four
players can play together just by passing a Joy-Con, or via local wireless
connection you can have up to eight players on a single island.

There's also an adorable new Camera app that works as a Photo Mode, with the
ability to choose your expression to ensure you get the best shot.
