When Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch Aloha Edition also known as the Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch Edition, it sold faster than hot cakes and many fans missed out on the adorable special edition. It appears it may not be limited after all.
If you are still trying to get your hands on one of these, you might be having a tough time. Most major retailers are sold out and some stores are starting to offer expensive bundles in hope to take advantage of desperate fans.
Thanks to reddit user hlin1993 who found some more information on this, it appears that Nintendo plans to produce more Aloha Editions after the initial release on March 13th. The official Japanese Nintendo website states (google translate):
Specially designed main units and carrying cases are not limited in quantity. Will be re-produced in the future

So instead of purchasing an overpriced pre-order via eBay or some expansive bundles that include things you don’t actually want, you might want to consider waiting for the possible restock post launch.
Check Local Stores!
I also reached out to Target, Walmart and GameStop and all three chains confirmed that stores will have some stock on the day of release – March 13th. So make sure you call ahead and see if you can pick one up tomorrow!
