Nintendo might not reveal a lot of new information about Animal Crossing New Horizons at this time but every now and then we do get some new Screenshots. Thanks to Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu we received some new images!

The latest set of Animal Crossing New Horizons Screenshots does not really reveal anything we haven’t seen yet nor does it show any new features. One thing however that stood out to me was the UI screenshots of a villager crafting and/or purchasing seeds from Tom Nook.

We have seen Tom Nooks little tent with a crafting bench multiple times. In a matter of fact it was one or the first things Nintendo shared with us. The question is, is this a temporary tent to help the villagers get started on the island and will it transform into a shop later on?

The fact that we see a villager either crafting and/or purchasing seeds from the Tanuki makes me believe that our beloved garden friend Leaf won’t have his own shop in New Horizons! Take a look for yourself below!

How Deserted is Animal Crossing New Horizons?

Nintendo keeps mentioning that New Horizons features a Getaway package to a deserted island – in a recent article I explored the question on how deserted Animal Crossing New Horizons really is. We have yet to see shops or any sort of buildings that aren’t villager homes – Museums, Shops, Brewster Cafe and more are currently a big question mark.

There may always be the option of island hopping to go shopping – as we have seen in the box art, there appear to be multiple islands! Either way Nintendo will hopefully shed some light into this and reveal some more information in the not so distance future.

Late News is not uncommon for Nintendo!

Keep in mind that an Animal Crossing Direct for Animal Crossing New Leaf was aired just 36 days prior to its release in Japan. It is not uncommon for Nintendo to reveal more information about a game closer to its release date!

So don’t panic – ACNH is not delayed! In a matter of fact Best Buy just announced a pre-order bonus for the game!
