Best Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing: New Horizons Accessories in 2020

Nintendo unveiled a brand new Nintendo Switch design specifically for the Animal Crossing: New Horizons release. The back of the console features a subtle map design and some of the game's characters, and the Joy-Cons are a pastel mint green and light blue. In addition to the console changes, the new white base features Tom Nook and his nephews Timmy and Tommy. This version of the Switch is difficult to find, as it sold out in most places upon release. Your best chance at getting one is through eBay or a similar source. When going this route for any purchases it is important to make sure you're purchasing from a legitimate seller.

If you already have a Nintendo Switch and aren't looking to trade it in, but would like the Animal Crossing look, Controller Gear made a Nintendo Licensed skin you can get instead! Refresh your system with one of many Animal Crossing-themed options built to fit your Switch, base, and controllers, including this one of the Nook family.

Another way to bring Animal Crossing to your Nintendo Switch is with the new, pastel Joy-Cons. Get the great Animal Crossing look without repurchasing the console. These were not released separately in the U.S., but there are some alternatives to buying the Japanese ones that can be found on Etsy and eBay. If you are feeling handy, you can purchase shells to replace your red/blue or gray ones with.

If you travel with your Nintendo Switch and don't have any way to protect it on the move, this Aloha Edition case is a great way to bring Animal Crossing style to your Switch accessories.

With this padded dock cover, you can show your Animal Crossing spirit for now and remove it to add something else later!
