I saw that there's going to be a new content update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the Nintendo Switch coming January 15th, 2026.

Also, here's the YouTube trailer as well:

It's good an all, having Zelda items, Splatoon villagers/items and the return of Nintendo games from the Original Gamecube game which I will come back too, but, I haven't played New Horizons after Happy Home Paradise DLC and I'm a bit nervous about my favorite animal villagers leaving my island.

Well, would you look at that, Nintendo remembered Animal Crossing exists. Adorable.

I'm kinda disappointed that the the playable retro games are only one per item.
Wouldn't it make more sense to just ask you what game on the NSO classic library you'd like to play in New Horizons?

Genuinely happy to hear this, I love this game so much and all these additions are welcome, imo!

Actually I thought of that too. If New Horizons is part of the Nintendo Switch Online Service, shouldn't each Nintendo item let you play every Nintendo game via Switch Online but only the Nintendo licensed ones?

My most played switch game, but I sold my switch already. Nice for folks who still check in on it, thought.

Me to my 11 other friends: "Hey, you all should go buy a Switch 2 and that camera thingy so we can do the Animal Crossings together on the Switch 2 and check out each other's islands."
