As everyone may know, it’s become extremely difficult to get your hands on a Nintendo Switch. Fortunately for me I kept checking Best Buy and I got lucky. I received the system less than a week after placing the order, that seemed very fast to me. All the contents came in perfect condition, no damage whatsoever. Now on to the console, probably the most unique, one of a kind and innovative game system on the market. This one is the Animal Crossing edition, so there’s artwork on the front of the dock of the system, as well as the back panel of the handheld part of the system. It also is in a completely different color scheme than the past models were originally released in. The joy con controllers for this edition are sporting pastel blue and green tones giving it a very nice, subtle cool look, reminds me of Easter. The Nintendo Switch is a must have in my opinion, there’s nothing out there like it when it comes to gaming systems. The portability aspect of this system and versatility to make use of the controllers makes the Nintendo Switch stand out as a tier one system. There’s a wide variety of free and paid for games to choose from on the Nintendo e-shop. You can’t go wrong with buying one. Thanks to Best Buy for having the system in stock at the time I checked, the exemplary service from placing the order to receiving the order in such a short amount of time. Best Buy is the go-to for all my electronics, whether it be devices, accessories or assistance, they’re the best in the business, check them out!

Nintendo excels when it comes to their special edition consoles, and their Animal Crossing Switch is no exception. It’s quality is incredible, and my wife adores the special colors, as well as the art depicted on the dock, switch, and joy-cons. It’s a wonderful console and is home to some of Nintendo’s best games. If you don’t have one yet, what are you waiting for!

What can I say? It's a Nintendo Switch, which in itself, is a great system, but the special edition is just so charming and wholesome to look at. Every aspect of this is special, including the all-white dock, print on the back of console, pastel joy-con with white backs, and even the wrist straps follow the theme. One of the best special edition consoles I've seen in years.

This Switch model is fantastic. Purely stunning. The soft pastel blue and green Joy-Cons are a pleasant step away from the neon color scheme of the rest. With an off white backing to the Joy-Cons, respectively, it really offers a pleasing contrast. The Dock is really the main attraction, though. It’s smooth and simplistic design is incredible, and a great item to display beside your TV. Even the back of the Switch tablet comes adorned with embossed Animal Crossing icons and silhouettes. This is by far the most attractive Nintendo Switch model to date.
I had an original Nintendo Switch from three years ago. For a while, I had been searching for a new model to replace my older one to obtain the better battery life. As soon as Nintendo revealed this limited edition Nintendo Switch model, I knew I had to get it. I am a huge Animal Crossing fan, and have been for years. This model is a collector’s dream for those who love the series. I preordered it the first day it was available on Best Buy. Good thing, too. It’s sold out everywhere and nearly impossible to find on any site. If you got your hands on one, congrats!

This was a purchase that I debated for awhile,and I'm so glad that I did it. This edition on the switch is the v2 so you get that extended battery life. The look of this switch is awesome! I love the joy con colors so much, they look so clean and nice on the system. Villager etching on the back are super cute and would be super cool to any Animal crossing fan. The dock is a nice cream color with Tom, timmy and tommy on it and looks really nice with the system in it. I honestly think this is such a nice looking switch and worth it considering its the same price as a normal switch (because it dosent include the game).

I'm so glad I was able to get this when it came out. The Animal Crossing doc is so adorable, and I love the light colors. This is my first Switch, and I'm not at all disappointed. The controls were easy to learn and the set up was so simple. And I LOVE that I can play it as a hand held or on my TV. I would SO get this again! My only qualm was the price. I hate how much you have to pay for game systems... However, I've gotten what I've paid for, so, not too mad.

I purchased the regular Neon newer version (better battery life version) for my son for Christmas in 2019. Even though, I am an avid Nintendo fan (I own every single model of Gameboy except 2; every console up to the Wii), I didn't seem interested in the Switch console as I was in previous Nintendo consoles... Until the Special Edition Animal Crossing Console went on sale. The look of this console and the fact that I love playing my son's Switch (when he lets me, LOL), definitely gained my interest. I'm so glad I purchased this version, because for the same price, I got a unique console. The back of the console has etched images of the Animal Crossing world, the docking station is an off white color with an Animal Crossing picture, and of course the joy-cons are unique colors not first-party sold separately (all of these things combined means there is absolutely no excuse my son could give for getting our consoles "switched").
I've wanted this console since its release, but like many others I waited too late and it sold out quickly. On Monday evening, September 28, I was eliminating email and saw an email from Best Buy that had "trending items/a history of items I'd viewed on their website" and there was this Switch. I click on the picture and the item was listed as being "in stock". I didn't really believe it and I went to bed. When I woke on Tuesday, September 29, I checked again (thinking inventory updated overnight and surely this Switch or any of them for that matter, wouldn't be listed as "in stock") and the console was still in stock available at a Best Buy 30 minutes from my job. So, around 8:20 AM I purchased the item for pick-up, laughing to myself and thinking, "I'll get an email stating there's been a mistake and that the item was "out of stock." Meanwhile the website still had the option for the item to be shipped if that's what I wanted. Well, imagine my surprise when I received the notification/email that the "item" I had purchased was available for pick-up at 9:29 AM! Meanwhile, after checking the website for availability again, the item was only showing as being available at a store 90 miles from my house and not in stock for shipping AT ALL. As I drive to the store, I'm thinking there is no way I just purchased the last Animal Crossing Switch in the Metro-Atlanta area, NO. WAY. (I live in an SE suburb). Again, I expected to be given "the sorry we made an error" as soon as I get to the store, but of course, the item was given to me as stated, as you could imagine my surprise. Why the long story? Time is of the essence friends, seriously. I feel I was extremely blessed to have purchased this. In the span of about 1 hour of my purchasing, this console sold out. So, if you see one, or any Switch online for the regular price of $299 I would purchase it. Even if a new model of the Switch is released (no worries from my "internet research" there isn't going to be one this year), this model is definitely a keeper with its large library of games. Case in point, I can still buy games for very old models of Gameboys at extremely cheap prices.
This console is back in stock. If you are thinking about purchasing this do it now. Don't wait.

This was my first Switch and wow it was wort the wait. The colors and island theme are perfect. I will say the pastel Joy-Cons have a brighter color in person. The seashell white is also a nice touch as an ascent color. Honestly this is one of the best looking consoles Nintendo has made and I can't wait to try Animal Crossing on the 20th!

This was purchased to replace my old switch and I’ve been playing Animal Crossing New Horizon on it every day for hours and hours (4+) a day ever since I got it (roughly a month now). Love the AC designs on the back and the colors of the joy cons. It’s holding up great and if you can get your hands on one, I’d highly recommend it!! Whether in docked mode or handheld/portable mode...this is a fun-tastic product!

I originally missed the first release so I was super excited when I seen this available in store. It's a super cute system, the battery is pretty good and it's comfortable to hold. The only complaint I have is while I'm playing, there's a line that shows up across the screen. It goes away quickly but it shows up often. I'm really hoping the screen doesn't completely go out because I've made so much progress in the game.

Came packaged very great and everything looks exactly like it’s supposed to. The back of the Switch has more detail than I originally thought with the ACNH engraved into it. Controls easily snap in and out and it comes with everything already so you can play anywhere. Hand used to show how big the screen actually is.
