Animal Crossing: New Horizons

This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta play a game of trying to guess the prices of different items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Check out the full episode below.

A few new elements were added with the latest Animal Crossing: New Horizons update, including the dream feature. Players can now upload their islands online that can be visited by others via dreams. Although nothing is permanent while visiting in a dream, it’s another way to share what you’ve created with others.

Something to keep in mind is that, based on user reports, Nintendo is being serious when it comes to taking down islands involving cheating or hacking in any manner. Any behavior the company doesn’t condone – even if it’s only used for decorative purposes – will still be removed.

Here’s a look at one email a player received:

July is just about over, which means that a few bugs and fish will be leaving Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Thankfully, the list for departing creatures isn’t too massive.
