Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.
Show off your island utopia to family and friends—or pack your bags and visit theirs. Whether playing online* or with others beside you**, island living is even better when you can share it. Even without hopping on a flight, you’ll meet a cast of charming animal residents bursting with personality. Friendly faces like Tom Nook and Isabelle will lend their services and happily help you grow your budding community. Escape to your island getaway—however, whenever, and wherever you want.
Polygon - "...crafting systems in this game are lovely."
The Verge - "the video game equivalent of a relaxing getaway…"
IGN - "... full of surprises."
GameSpot - "the ability to alter your island to fit your grand plans is exciting. "

A: Yes, Animal Crossing along with all Nintendo Switch games are compatible with the Switch Lite. The only thing to note is that the Switch Lite can only be played handheld and not docked (tv/monitor).
A: A digital version will require an internet connection so it can be downloaded onto your Switch the first time you play. It's linked to your Nintendo account so if you loose/break your Switch you can always re-download it later. There is no physical case/game when buying digitally and if you get tired of the game it's impossible to sell a digital copy. I hope that helps!
Q: When you download it on digital can it go on a Tablet!! Like a Samsung tablet or Ipad??
A: It’s a Nintendo Switch game ... download only works for Nintendo Switch console
A: The Tom Nook Phone $ Tech badge is no longer offered. Chatted with a online rep to figure out why it wasn't showing up in my cart and was later told it's no longer offered.
A: I received my digital code within an hour of purchase. This was 3 days ago.
A: barring unforseen circumstances, like a storm etc. yes
Q: Would you recommend this for an 8 year old.
A: Yes. I played my first animal crossing game at about that age. It it an adorable series with hours and hours of gameplay.
A: The code works until you redeem it! After you redeem it, it will stay as a purchase in your Nintendo account after that!

Expand your horizons and help create vacation homes for clients on all-new resort islands. Join Lottie's Paradise Planning team, and travel to a distant group of beautiful resort islands with a diverse set of landscapes. This time, you are in charge of inviting characters as clients and helping them live out their own dream vacations. Choose from a variety of islands with different terrain and climates, and find one that matches your client's vision. Then start designing, and start making their vacation dreams come true. Just wait until you see the look on your clients' faces after you reveal the vacation home decorated just for them. Add personalized touches to your client's resort island. Customize everything from home exteriors and interiors, the yard, and even customize the weather to either be sunny or rainy. Handpick the picture-book spot for your resort creation, and use the Paradise Planning team's expansive inventory to deck out vacation homes without being limited to your own inventory, recipes, or resources. The editing tools make decorating a snap. It's a breeze to go back and redecorate as you like, so change and rearrange to your heart's content. As you design more vacation homes for your clients, facilities like cafes and schools around the Paradise Planning office will open up. Decorate these into inviting locales, choose roles for different characters, then watch your clients spend time together. Why not stop by and check in to see how things are going in paradise? You can up your design game on your own island, too. Design options that you acquire while working as a Paradise Planning team member can be used on your island as they become available. Build partition walls and pillars, set the mood with lighting, and add soundscapes to your residents' homes, as well as your own. Share your masterpieces with friends. Take in-game photos of your designs, and add them to your portfolio. Show them to other characters, and you may get more requests to create vacation homes. Share the photos with other players using the in-game Showroom* in the Happy Home Network app, and they can tour your personally designed resort islands or go tour theirs for some relaxation and inspiration.
