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. "

Whats Included
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
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!
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: 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.
Q: Can I preorder a copy for me and my wife and get $20 in rewards?
A: Hi, if you go to the "video game pre-order program" page and scroll all the way to the bottom where the terms and conditions are, it says "Limit one award per member per title. My Best Buy membership and reward certificates are subject to My Best Buy Terms. If you are not a My Best Buy member or do not present your member ID at time of pre-order, see FAQs for assistance. Not valid with any other offers. No dealers. No rainchecks. Click here for complete details about how to get $10 in reward certificates." If you pre-order one game under your own account and another game under your wife's account, then you should get two. Hope that helps.
A: A 6 year old would definitely be able to play this game. There is a story line that is easy to follow but is not necessary. This is mainly a free-play type of game. You start out with an island that you build up to a 5-star rating. You craft items out of things that you find on your island such as fruits, bugs, fish, wood, ect. You then use those items to decorate your island and your home. This game is fun for any age.
Q: Will there be an Animal Crossing bundle?
A: Not a bundle exactly, but Nintendo has announced a special edition Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch (BBY.COM SKU: 6401728). This does NOT include the game, however.
