News / Switch 2: Updates regarding the Nintendo Switch successor
Didn't expect this news today!
The sequel to the Nintendo Switch, dubbed as the #Switch2, was officially confirmed by Furukawa today. It will be officially announced sometime between now and March 31st 2025 (I'm betting on it being announced in October).
A Nintendo Direct has also been announced for next month, but nothing relating to Switch 2 will be announced there.
Not sure what this means for Animal Crossing yet, new games seem to release roughly 2 years into a consoles cycle (Wild World about 1-1.5yrs, LGTTC 2yrs, New Leaf 1.5-2.25yrs, New Horizons 3yrs), so at the latest, I would expect the next Animal Crossing game to potentially release for 2027.
News / StreetPass: Modders have gotten StreetPass to go online!
If you're a #Nintendo3DS owner, you might be pleased to hear that modders have made an online version of #StreetPass called NetPass, which allows you to StreetPass users on your 3DS.
It's great if you're struggling to find people, although I have thankfully had some StreetPasses with 3 people in the last year, 2 of which gave me Animal Crossing New Leaf data!
News / Anniversaries: Animal Crossing New Horizons is officially 4 years old today
Just a quick one, Animal Crossing New Horizons has now turned 4 years old today, releasing 4 years ago on Friday March 20th 2020 (it was certainly a fun time, I'm lucky my pre-order came in at like 9am on launch day).
Do you have any memories of picking up ACNH 4 years ago? Let me know in the replies below.
@animal_crossing much faster than my pre-order for Splatoon 3, my pre-order for that came at 5pm on launch day.
Funnily enough that was also launched in interesting circumstances as well given that the night before I was watching a stream of ThatSrb2Dude playing it early and well the chat was filled with only one thing...
