Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Only a few days remain in December. Once the month is up, the current cycle of bugs, fish, and sea creatures will be swapped out.

We have a couple of helpful charts outlining everything that’s leaving at the end of December. You can find the full rundown for both hemispheres below.

Masahiro Sakurai

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai published his latest Famitsu column this week. Given that Sephiroth just joined the game as the latest DLC character, it makes sense that the piece was entirely about the new roster addition.

Sakurai’s column offers insight into how Sephiroth was implemented, including the challenges involved and his “Winged Form”. He also briefly touches on the game’s reveal trailer.

Here’s our full translation:

The new year isn’t here just yet, but Animal Crossing: New Horizons is ready to ring in 2021. Nook Shopping is now offering a few different items to celebrate the big day.

Here’s the lineup of a few food items you can currently get your hands on:

Below are the collective results:
