Animal Crossing: New Horizons doesn’t support Nintendo Switch Online cloud saves as we’ve traditionally seen. However, Nintendo has said that if your Switch gets damaged or lost, there will be a way to recover save data.

More information will be shared later, and the service will be available sometime after launch. However, we do have an interesting tidbit from today’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct. According to some fine print included in the presentation, “Nintendo Switch Online members can only have save data recovered one time due to loss or damage of system.”

Nintendo has put out an announcement recapping all of the news from the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct. We have that below, along with the full presentation for those that missed it.

Nintendo has provided new information about how amiibo works in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Figures and cards are both supported. When scanning either one, that character will appear in-game. There’s also Photopia where you can place models and have photoshoots.

It sounds like not every amiibo will be supported initially, as Nintendo said it will support additional characters in the future.

Free updates for Animal Crossing: New Horizons are planned, Nintendo has announced.

Most of the specifics have yet to be shared. But during today’s Nintendo Direct, it was teased that players can expect seasonal events with guests and more.

The first update introducing a special Bunny Day event in April will be available on March 20.

During today’s Nintendo Direct, Animal Crossing: New Horizons outlined support for the Nintendo Switch Online app.

Known as “NookLink”, players will be able to scan QR code patterns of custom designs and more. You’ll be able to scan QR codes from Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. Chatting with friends online is also supported.

The service will go live shortly after Animal Crossing: New Horizons launches.

New sales data is in from the UK for the month of January 2020.

As far as physical software sales go, Nintendo was the biggest publisher of the month. The company’s sales saw a 21 percent share of the market. Switch accounted for 16.3 percent of tracked game sales for the month, though that’s not included Nintendo’s first-party games from digital. When only looking at physical sales, Switch titles were at 31 percent.

Even though there were shortages of Nintendo hardware, Switch was the most successful family of consoles regarding both revenue and units. Switch Lite was the most successful individual console SKU over the course of the month.

Here’s a look at the best-selling games of January:
