Last night, Nintendo unveiled a Nintendo Switch console with design inspired by the upcoming game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. As you can see, it’s absolutely gorgeous. It also arrives on March 13th, which means you’ll be ready to go for New Horizons when it drops a week later on March 20th.
If you want to make this scenario a reality, you can pre-order the Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch here at Best Buy for $299.99. Sell outs are highly likely on this one, so reserve one while you can.

Power A recently released Animal Crossing-themed Enhanced Wireless Controllers that would be a perfect match for your new Nintendo Switch. Pre-orders for the Timmy & Tommy Nook controller and the K.Slider controller are live on Amazon now for $49.99 with shipping slated for March 10th.
Power A is known for their range of excellent third-party controllers – particularly their Enhanced Wireless Controllers with licensed Nintendo designs. Power A’s controllers are similar to Nintendo’s official Pro Controller, though they lack features like NFC functionality and rumble. They also operate on two AA batteries. On the plus side, they do include programmable buttons on the back and a lower price point. Then again, the Nintendo Switch Pro controller is only $10 more at Walmart and Amazon at the moment.
Pre-orders for Animal Crossing: New Horizons are live now. At the time of writing, the best place to reserve a copy is here at Best Buy given that it is $10 reward eligible. It also comes with a free phone badge.
