Last year, it seemed like everyone was playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I was envious as I adored Animal Crossing: New Leaf on my 3DS. One of the highlights of my sophomore year of college was playing New Leaf on campus in between classes. I wanted to purchase a Switch, but never ended up going through with it. Recently, my work had a contest with a prize of accruing Amazon gift cards. Now felt like the perfect time to purchase my Nintendo Switch with my remaining Amazon gift cards.

I purchased the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Switch. I could have gotten the regular Switch for a better price; however, part of the reason I was buying the Switch in the first place was to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so I felt like it was fitting to pay extra for this version. My Switch arrived on Thursday, but I didn’t want to play it until the weekend. I named my island MaplePeaks. As a side note, all my town names have never been creative. I didn’t want to think forever on a perfect town name, so I came up with something generic. I’m still new to the game, so I don’t want to show off my island just yet.

Besides Animal Crossing, my fiancé wants to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Purchasing the Switch was a great idea for both me and my fiancé to play games we don’t have any other way to play.

While I may be late to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons party, please leave your friend code down below, so I can visit your island!
