Everyone is counting the days until Animal Crossing New Horizons finally becomes available on March 20th! Starting today you can feel just that little bit closer to the game already.

If you pre-ordered the game on the Nintendo eShop you will be pleased to know that the pre-load for the highly anticipated game is now live! This means that you can already have the game on your Switch home screen but of course it won’t unlock until March 19th, 10pm PT.

Pre-Order now and get a gift from Nintendo!

In addition to your pre-order Nintendo is also offering a free 7 day trial of Nintendo Online. This subscription is needed to enjoy any of the online features in the game.
