Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been one of the most popular games around since launching in March. All sorts of villagers can show up on your island, but some are in higher demand than others. The interest is so high that in some places like Japan, certain players and websites have established real money trading. One Twitter account has been giving out characters between 5,000 and 8,000 yen.

Want to have a particular villager on your island or acquire a particular item? That’s what these offers are apparently in place for. In exchange for real life money, you’ll be provided with content from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

However, Nintendo is fully against such actions, and has declared that exchanging characters and items for money violates its terms of service. That goes for individual players as well as companies that act as an intermediary for such a service. Nintendo will consider responding to each incident on a case-by-case basis.

In an interview with La Vanguardia, Animal Crossing: New Horizons director Aya Kyogoku was asked about representing diversity. Kyogoku was able to speak about how Nintendo was able to take things further in New Horizons.

Kyogoku gave one example by mentioning that “players can now freely change the skin tone of their character”. She also pointed to the fact that it’s possible to customize a host of features including hairstyles, clothes, and more.

According to Kyogoku, she and the rest of the team “always try to take into account this type of diversity, while also compiling comments from the localization teams in other regions.” Nintendo ultimately wants players to “be who they want to be and enjoy the games how they like.”
