It's actually here, out in the wild right now, but if you haven't picked it up yet, you'll need to know what the best Animal Crossing New Horizons prices are right now to make sure you get yourself a good deal. The reviews have been nearly a whitewash in perfection and the game is exactly what the world needs right now. You can read our full Animal Crossing: New Horizons review here.
In essence, however, the new game takes us to a customisable, deserted island this time around and tasks players with building a relentlessly cheerful little society on it, presumably so Tom Nook can foist another crippling mortgage on us. But at least the best Animal Crossing price you can get will mean you're jumping in and saving a few currencies at the same time. Hopefully.
To give you a better idea of what's on offer now it's released and where you can get the best Animal Crossing New Horizons price and deals, our team and magical price finding tech had rounded up all the info you need right here. This will give you a better idea of what's available as retailers wherever you are. It doesn't stop at just the game though, as there's Special Edition Switch going too, and, amazingly, it is still available at some retailers.

Getting the most out of Animal Crossing
To get the most out of your Animal Crossing game, you'll want to aim for a Nintendo Switch setup that's as optimized as possible. Starting simply, that means examining what the best Nintendo Switch bundles going offer you. Elsewhere, you'll probably want to see what your options are for getting a cheap Nintendo Switch controller if you want a more traditional Pro Controller to play Animal Crossing with, not to mention raiding retailers for some of the best Nintendo Switch accessories. One of the accessories that you should definitely invest in is a Nintendo Switch SD card for general use, as well as the fact that the Switch only comes with the alarmingly low 32GB of memory as standard. To complete the package, protect your Switch with the best case for Nintendo Switch and then plug in one of the best Nintendo Switch headsets to have your Animal Crossing game fully serviced and optimized.
A lot to consider perhaps, particularly given Nintendo gear holds its price quite stubbornly. However, if you're able to upgrade your Switch setup in any of these departments, then you'll be off to a blinder.
