Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Nintendo Everything Podcast 106

This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, we’re getting Animal Crossing’s Turkey Day out of the way and chatting about Hyrule Warriors. Oni Dino has spoiler-lite impressions on SWERY’s The Missing. We then chat about Wii U Maio Maker’s early stages of being “sunset” as they love to say. Finally, the listener mail has a great food for thought for us: the general normalization of monetizing games. From DLC to microtransactions to loot boxes to season passes.

We’re almost through with November, which means the current critters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be going away. However, you still have a couple of days left until the bugs, fish, and sea creatures are cycled out.

Here’s a look at what’s leaving when November wraps up:

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Flocky Dolls

Bandai Candy Division has revealed a series of Flocky Dolls based on the characters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. These items are currently limited to Japan, with pre-orders opening at specific in-store locations.

Seven dolls are planned for the collection, including Tom Nook, Isabelle, Rex, Lolly, Marshal, Dom, and Flurry. Each one comes with a pedestal for display purposes.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons camo glitch

Another Crossing: New Horizons has had a number of prominent glitches since launch, though Nintendo tends to patch them out. The trend continues with another fan favorite: the camo glitch.

The bug previously let players force items to take on any color texture instead of having to be limited to Nintendo’s palettes. It was a way of coming up with all sorts of unique combinations, such as a room styled after the colors of a birthday cupcake. You can get a closer look at what the glitch previously allowed for from AbdallahSmash026 below.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Unlike previous games, Nintendo has been taking a tougher stance on time traveling in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Players have not been able to freely fast-forward the time or day in order to access seasonal events early – for the most part anyway.

For the initial launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, that time traveling technique simply didn’t work at all since the player’s clock would be checked to ensure that it was accurate. Interestingly though, it has not been enforced as of late. Players discovered that there was no such restriction in place with recent events like Halloween.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

With over 26 million copies sold since its March launch, it’s safe to say that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a hit. However, the game has gone beyond simply being an experience for players to manage their islands and connect with friends. Businesses and organizations have started to take interest, and it’s something Nintendo has now become fully aware of.

Today, Nintendo posted usage guidelines for businesses and organizations in how they get involved with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It forbids certain actions like using the game inappropriately, featuring politics, or obtaining financial benefit.
