Update: This is now up on Amazon here.


Original: Despite a lack of an official announcement, it looks like Animal Crossing: New Horizons is getting the Monopoly treatment. Reddit user calysunflower came across the product over at Walmart, and was even able to make a purchase. That’s given fans an early look at how the Animal Crossing version of Monopoly is shaping up.

Four different versions of the villager are included as playable pieces. You’ll need to earn the most Nook Miles by purchasing decorations and using Nook Miles cards to trade resources and Bells. Bugs, fish, and fruit appear on the game board.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons may not have been a part of E3 2021, but it remains an important title for Nintendo. New comments from the company indicate that we’ll be seeing more from the game in the future.

Speaking with The Verge, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser said that the developers at Nintendo “absolutely have plans going forward” and asked fans to be on the lookout “for more to come.”

Bowser’s full words:

Build-A-Bear kicked off its Animal Crossing: New Horizons collection last month. Only Tom Nook and Isabelle were initially included, but just as expected, the line is expanding.

Revealed today is that K.K. Slider will be offered in plush form. We don’t have all of the details just yet, but he’ll come with his signature guitar.

Build-A-Bear will begin taking orders tomorrow, June 10. It’ll be up for those in the US here and those in the UK here.
