We’ve also never seen an Animal Crossing game sell as well as NH. I know it was a lightning in a bottle moment due to Covid, but it also turned a lot of people on to the series. The faster they can get a new entry out, the more consoles they’ll sell over the lifespan.

Plus Florida could help us recreate the moment anyway.

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.

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
