Wut wuut... I was pretty surprised that this was announced!  Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and Free Update.  The Switch 2 version shows graphical updates, Switch 2 mouse features, additional online people and new items.  The free update to Version 3.0 is pretty cool and there are a bunch of changes!  There's also a new resort being added.

Both are coming out January 15th, 2026.  This was announced today:


Here's the original Animal Crossing: New Horizons thread from when it came out.  I couldn't believe no one posted up lol... it's Animal Crossing dangit!

Either way, this game is pretty much 5 years old now. It's hard to believe that much time has passed... and I haven't put much time into this game.  Are you excited for the updates?  What are you looking forward to?

post it up!

I haven't played in a long time. I'm going to go back and my villagers will be like "OMG is it the ghost of Michelle?"  :))

LOL... the villager comments are hilarious.  They break out the surprised emotion and then they're like... "I haven't seen you in forever!"  and "Don't do that again!"  ;D

A LONNNGGG time ago, We got a few site members to join up in towns in Animal Crossing Wild World.  I know there were complaints about how long it took to join towns on the Switch version.  I wonder if Switch 2 took care of that. You can now have 12 players (not just 8 ).  SO... it would be cool if we could get several members to join towns. 

I'm definitely going to buy the Switch 2 update.

I need to get that out and get into it again. First thing I will need to do is kill all the bugs in the house and then weed the lawns.  :))

LOL... I am with you on that one.  Every time I start up Animal Crossing New Leaf or Wild World... I find myself cleaning weeds  ;D

I have put very little time into New Horizons.   It started off as a joke (long story) and then just progressed into I never played it.  This update has me pumped to play.


It would really be cool if we could get people together on this one.  We could use the Discord to chat as well if we wanted to
