Set for release on March 13th is a special edition Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing-themed system, priced at $299.99.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players embark on the special Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package and are taken away to an island paradise. This is where players can roll up their sleeves and start a life from scratch on a deserted island, eventually making their new life whatever they desire, whether it be decorating their home, crafting, customizing their look or sharing the experience with friends. New features include crafting, pole-vaulting across rivers and lots more.
