Nintendo Switch (Welcome To Animal Crossing Edition)

Product Information

Launch Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the target console using the user account you will be using for your resident. Let's be honest - this was, without doubt, the big UK console release of 2017. It's the legendary Japanese manufacturer's follow up to the disappointing Wii U. This feature is helpful when just one player wants to continue playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons on a new Nintendo Switch console or when multiple residents other than the Resident Representative will be using the new Nintendo Switch console. The transferred player(s) will move to a new island with new animals, so any island progress and animal neighbours will remain on the original Nintendo Switch console. Please note: A new version of the Switch came out under the name of Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) and brings somewhat incremental changes such as a 7-inch OLED panel, an adjustable stand, LAN port and 64 GB of internal storage. Nintendo Switch Although underwhelming at launch, there is a gradually expanding range of Nintendo Switch games, filled with classic series such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8, Metroid Dread, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and FIFA Legacy Edition. What is really cool is that the console will happily run large, open-world console games such as Skyrim, for example, a game more typically seen on the larger, hefty consoles. UK Price Information

While never really being able to compete with the huge, high-powered, new-gen 4K consoles of the Sony PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X, the Nintendo Switch excels if you consider it in terms of as a powerful handheld console.
