It isn’t scheduled to hit Nintendo Switch for three more months, but and Nintendo seems intent on making the wait forAnimal Crossing: New Horizonas difficult as possible for fans. A new “Deserted Island Getaway Package Primer” trailer is out, courtesy of the predatory lenders at Nook Inc.
Set in a conference room like a pyramid scheme pitch attempting to sell suckers a worthless timeshare, the trailer features Tom Nook as he presents a gorgeous view ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. We see the deserted island, loaded up with trees and tropical fruit, as well as villagers cutting down those trees and constructing new buildings to create their ideal homes.
Through all of this, the villagers, includingSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatefighter Isabella, look in awe at the vacation they will be taking. We just hope they have the requisite bells to pay Nook Inc. back for the loans they’re sure to receive on new homes, as the company is relentless in its collecting. That being said, not having to pay any interest does sound pretty good — perhaps Nook Inc. should open a branch in the real world, as well?
The trailer also gave us a look at the North American box art forAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. It features several characters, including Isabella, the Nook Inc. employees, and villagers hard at work on a project. As always, there is a clock visible on the top of the logo, reminding you of the seconds ticking away before you’ll get a shakedown by Tom Nook’s cronies.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonswill release on March 20 for Nintendo Switch. It features an expanded crafting system called “DIY Recipes,” as well as a full season cycle, local and online multiplayer modes, and full customization across the deserted island. Even if you’re able to’t take a real vacation this year, you can certainly get a nice alternative by venturing to the island and making it your own.
