New Animal Crossing Announced For Switch

During the Nintendo Direct last night, Nintendo revealed that Isabelle, the fan-favorite secretary from Animal Crossing: New Leaf would be joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character.

Some Animal Crossing fans were a little annoyed, feeling baited with what they were really waiting for. Turns out they only needed to wait a few minutes.


Right after the reveal trailer for Isabelle, another trailer began featuring the Animal Crossing series mascot, Tom Nook, remarking that he would need to work hard to manage a town in Isabelle’s absence. A title screen then flashed: Animal Crossing for Switch, coming in 2019.

This will be the first Animal Crossing game since New Leaf on the 3DS in 2012, not including spin-off titles like amiibo Festival and Pocket Camp. No more specific details are available just yet, but if my gaming friends’ sudden explosion of vowel sounds is any indication, fans are hyped.
