Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch Announced
After months and months of hoping from fans, Nintendo has finally confirmed Animal Crossing is coming to Nintendo Switch. It will be released in 2019.

But more than that, the announcement trailer made sure to note that Tom had to make sure everyone had a place to return to after all the fighting and camping from Smash and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
