[Nintendo Switch Snap] [female VO]
-Animal Crossing: New Horizons,
[relaxing acoustic music] The new game in the series
we all know and love,
except, wait, what if you've never played
an Animal Crossing game before? Well, let's say you haven't and take a moment to get you
nice and acquainted.
[music fades] [stringed acoustic music] You see, the Animal Crossing:
New Horizons game is your ticket to a relaxing,
stress-free life, [<i> speaking animalese</i> ] one in which you'll interact [<i> speaking animalese</i> ] with a whole community
of residents- animal residents!
[music fades] But don't feel overwhelmed,
[relaxing funky music] you'll make your own way
at your own pace, and there's plenty of time-
real time, that is! Every day is a new day-
24 real-world hours that occur, whether you're at the island
or away for a while. Your surroundings will
even change with the seasons, not to mention
the activities available to you, it's good
to check in frequently so you don't
miss out on anything. In short, you're free
to do what you'd like! This includes
setting your own goals, or completing certain activities
to earn in-game rewards. So... where to start?
[music fades] [acoustic island music] From fish to catch...
bugs to sneak up on...
and residents to befriend... you'd be amazed how
much there is to discover
when you explore your island. Now, I wouldn't say
you live in the sticks, but... there sure are lots of ‘em!
So, collect them, and anything else
that may fall from the trees. There's also a lot to create
and customize: from clothing...
to wallpaper and flooring... to custom furniture... and more.
And speaking of interiors...
[music fades] [chill acoustic music] your house is yours
to do up in style. With enough expansions,
it can get pretty huge- all the more space to decorate. Need to go shopping first?
Then head on over
to the in-game store. It's your one-stop shop
for lots of things, [<i> speaking animalese</i> ] from home décor... [<i> speaking animalese</i> ] to replacement tools... to seeds and saplings you can
plant wherever you want. [<i> speaking animalese</i> ] The selection changes daily, so check back often
for items you need.
[music fades] [sleepy acoustic music] In Animal Crossing:
New Horizons, you have both the tools
and the freedom to create the island paradise
of your dreams. How will you landscape
your new home? What patterns will you design
that highlight
your personal style? Where will you place buildings? If you're looking
for a bit of guidance, the Nook Mileage Program
is just the thing. By participating
in certain activities,
you'll earn Nook Miles, [<i> speaking animalese</i> ] which can be used to pay off [<i> speaking animalese</i> ] your Deserted Island
Getaway Package. They can also be exchanged
for in-game rewards. There's a plethora of amenities
available to help you shape your island
as you see fit,
including Resident Services. [<i> speaking animalese</i> ] Here, you can craft items
by following DIY recipes and using the materials
you've gathered. It's pretty amazing
how many personal touches
you can add to your island... and helpful tools
you can create with crafting. And while DIY is great, you don't have to do
everything alone.
[music fades] [gentle acoustic music] Why not share in the fun? In Animal Crossing:
New Horizons, you can visit
other people's islands to get inspired
by what they've done
with their place. It's the best way to get
fruits and flowers that aren't native
to your island. And since everyone's island
is a little bit different, you never know
who you'll meet there. Embark on a relaxing getaway and get ready to create
your new island paradise. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
