The special edition Animal Crossing: New Horizons-themed Nintendo Switch console is back in stock at a number of retailers. After quickly selling out in preorder, it's been unavailable for months since it released. So if you want one, you should probably grab it quick, because there's no telling whether this restock will sell out.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Special Edition Nintendo Switch

switch-animal These have sold out quickly in the past, so don't wait if you want one.

This Is the "V2" Nintendo Switch

This special edition of the Switch is the "V2" version of the hardware, which means it gets longer battery life than the launch Switch. It has pastel blue and green Joy-Cons. The base is cream colored and features an image of Tom, Timmy, and Tommy Nook standing on a small island in the sea. The back of the Switch is black, but it's etched with Animal Crossing imagery.

It Does Not Include the Game

Assuming you'll want to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons on your Animal Crossing-themed Switch, you'll have to buy it separately (it's on sale for $49.94 at Amazon). Also available is an Animal Crossing-themed carrying case for Switch and Switch Lite, plus a pair of officially licensed Switch controllers made by PowerA, which you can see below.

New Horizons has a vacation theme, as you're whisked away on the Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package. As usual, you'll be able to customize your character and your home to your liking, shaping the landscape as you see fit. You can craft items, fish, decorate, and yuck it up with the neighbors.
