The wave of news for Animal Crossing New Horizons might have slowed down a little bit but as we are getting closer to the actual release date in March 2020, we are also beginning to see more details of the game emerging.
The Nintendo Live will take place on October 13th and October 14th and if you aren’t aware of this event, you can simply compare it to a Japanese version of the E3. Nintendo will hold several tournaments for Splatoon 2 and Smash Bros. Ultimate.
But what really caught my eye is that according to the official website, Nintendo will showcase Animal Crossing New Horizons as well. Only few details about this appearance have been announced, but the big N will be showing off some gameplay and possibly reveal some more details about the upcoming village simulation game. Lucky attenandas can even participate in a lottery where themed towels and other merchandise are being given out.
It will be interesting to see how much Nintendo will show, given that the company is currently busy promoting their big next title Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. Once these titles are released we will be sure to see a lot more focus on Animal Crossing New Horizons.
I will be sure to watch the Nintendo Live when it takes place on October 13th and October 14th, so make sure to check back for all the goodies Nintendo might reveal!

Nintendo never fails to disappoint in the humour and quirkiness department when it comes to Animal Crossing. From the crackers that villagers often come out with, to players getting trolled by Phyllis before trolling was a thing, the anthropomorphic franchise provides endless amusement. With the popularity of relatable humor in today’s culture, I thought I’d compile a post on 10 relatable things said in Animal Crossing.
1. Anything but moving…
2. Food and video games…
3. #StudentLife
4. When you become close enough friends with someone that insulting each other is the norm.
5. When your tall friends insist on using you as an armrest.
6. #RetailLife
7. How it feels to become an adult.
8. When your already tall friend decides to wear heels.
9. When your conscience insists on always ruining your fun.
10. Happens to me all the time.
If you are anything like me and you can’t get enough of Animal Crossing, make sure to take a look at this designated Animal Crossing section on myPotatoGames for everything Animal Crossing, including some cool phone wallpapers.

Congratulations to Serbz on winning this awesome Giveaway, and a big thanks to all those that participated.
A little something to help tide-over one lucky Animal Crossing fan?
Seeing as how we were all recently given sad news in regards to the release date of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we thought we might help ease the pain for at least one AC:NH fan. We have decided to share a few items that we have come across in our travels, you know, from buried treasures and what-not. Our loot stash has become quite expansive, and we feel that it would behoove us to relinquish these goodies upon this loving community!
What’s this all about?
Nothing says “I live and breathe Animal Crossing” quite like exclusive and rare AC-themed collectibles. You’ll wonder how you even lived this long without a Tom Nook New Leaf Plush pillow! Such priceless gems to behold, and now they are truly within your grasp.
As you all know by now, the best loot comes at a certain price! In most cases, that price is to complete a set of goals or tasks, with foes hindering your process along the way. This is one of those cases. However, you should not consider the other treasure hunters to be your foe, but instead a kin seeking the same gleaming horizon.
How it’s gonna go down!
Given the amount, as well as the grandiose manner, of the items on hand, we have decided that the best way to proceed is to set everyone on a quest with some pretty easy goals. No boss battles here. Aside from simply spreading the word to all those who would hear, we do intend to hold jousts and archery competitions. Just kidding.
Instead, our competitive spirits will be evoked in a more friendly manner. For those of you that are new to myPotatoGames, you have just as much chance to reap some benefits as our die hard fans (you know who you are). All one must do is follow us on the major social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and earn 50 Tater Tots between August 4th and August 20th.
WHAT’S IN STORE!
We have quite a few wonderful items to share with our adoring (and adorable) fans! To kick things off, we have two Tom Nook amiibo’s! Gain access to all sorts of Tom Nook content with your own special Nook collectible amiibo. As if that wasn’t enough, we have one Isabelle and one Digby amiibo to throw into the pot.
We also currently possess an adorable Timmy and Tommy ceramic plate, measuring about four inches in diameter. This ones a great accent to any AC themed tea parties! Also to be given away is our 800 ct. Animal Crossing Sticker Book! Enough sticky goodness to turn all your baubles and do-dads into Animal Crossing fan art! Finally, we have a couple of Animal Crossing themed hand-towels, depicting K.K. Slider. And for the big finish, we have the most adorable Tom Nook New Leaf Plush pillow.
The winner will be selected at random and notified after the giveaway is completed. Best of luck to everyone!

In celebration of the upcoming game in the beloved village simulation series, we are taking a look at all the adorable and cute Animal Crossing announcement trailers ever released since 2001.
Fans have been waiting more than 6 years for a new mainline Animal Crossing Game. We have received some much appreciated and fun spin-off games such as Happy Home Designer and even Pocket Camp the first version of the game. But there were also much less well received spin-off games we shall not name.
Take a look at the 14 minutes of Animal Crossing nostalgia below. If you long for more Animal Crossing news, don’t forget to check out our designated Animal Crossing Section.

There are plenty of strange things in the Animal Crossing franchise if you stop and think about it. It’s true that some elements of the game are more strange than others, and many are mostly likely unintentional due to the wholesome nature of the game. But Nintendo definitely has a sense of humor, so who really knows?
From predators and prey cohabiting peacefully (for the most part) to the respawning of buried fossils, here are some of the strangest and quirkiest things from the franchise that range from disconcerting to rather hilarious.
Make sure you also take a look at the absolute salvagers in Animal Crossing!
You’re the only human in a town full of animals.
You can shoot down UFO’s, flying presents, and poor Pete with a slingshot.
You can store 17 large items such as sharks, statues, beds and dressers in your pocket, but sending a fish in a letter is outrageous.
You can shake trees to sometimes obtain bells and furniture. However, you can also obtain angry hives of bees that WILL sting you
Items such as bird & hamster cages exist, small yellow birds can be seen by the bulletin board, and players are able to catch frogs. Yet there are bird, hamster and frog villagers also? ????
Blathers, the museum’s curator is an owl palaeontologist who is fond of fossils, and has a bizarre phobia of bugs
Blather’s younger and more defensive sister, Celeste, works in the museum’s observatory and has a keen interest in astronomy.
Your clothes are designed, made and sold by hedgehog sisters.
The local cafe is run by a pigeon barista who takes coffee extremely seriously.
Quitting without saving means dealing with a pickaxe-wielding mole with anger issues.
K.K. Slider/DJ KK is the only character who is often seen not wearing clothes.
Animals with no opposable thumbs can somehow utilise tools and write letters.

With the release of Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch imminent (HYPE!), we thought it would be fitting (and cathartic) to compile a list of our favorite pieces of Animal Crossing merchandise.
And whilst this is definitely not an exhaustive list (there’s so much cool stuff out there!), here are 10 Wonderful Wares For You To Blow your Bells On:
1. A Guide To Village Life – Art Book
2. ‘Switch’ up your style with this Animal Crossing Switch Enamel Pin
3. Is it ‘time’ that you treated yourself to something cool? If so, why not get one of these Animal Crossing Vinyl Clocks?
4. Or a colourful and cute Pastel Pin
5. Be the early bird that catches the worm with this mug (that features Brewster’s ‘mug’…)
6. Perhaps you ‘wood’ like one of these awesome laser-cut necklaces?
7. How about this colourful rainbow Happy Home sketchbook?
8. Maybe this relatable tee? (At least we have our in-game friends right..?)
9. These Clip-on backpack buddies from HotTopic
10. This rather cool DJ K.K. Slider plushie
