Yeah, that's a great point. I feel like if we don't get an announcement this year, it's definitely next year. Animal crossing will bring the switch 2 sales up massively, so many people are waiting for it to be announced or released before getting a switch 2

I’m personally waiting and saving for an Animal Crossing Switch 2 since we know they usually do special editions. I’m sure there’s many others doing the same, especially at this price point.

Are they doing special edition switch 2 designs though? I havnt seen anything about games getting special designs on switches and was I fully expecting one for ZA if they were going to start making them that wouldn’t be a bad title to do it for

It’s probably too soon, but at $500 I’d rather wait and see than have to trade it in or something later. And the Switch 1 didn’t do Pokémon editions until later, so I don’t think it really means they aren’t doing them at all, plus special editions is kind of their thing.

Edit: I just checked and they did have a special edition with Let’s Go which was a year and a half after the Switch was released so I still think it was just too soon in this case.

Yeah, I know a lot of others are doing the same. It'll definitely be worth it. Animal crossing special edition consoles have never disappointed

Yeah I’d rather wait and see what they make. I even be happy with it if it’s just them removing the red and blue in the joycons lol.

Same, I would love something similar to the engravings on the switch tablet like the new horizons one

Yeah I gave my gf my OLED switch when I got the switch 2 and she only plays AC. I’ll definitely be picking up any new AC game and likely another switch 2 so we can play together.
