The Animal Crossing series became a fast favorite among Nintendo fans after it was released in the U.S. for the Nintendo Gamecube in 2002. The adorable characters and quaint town in this social simulation make it hard not to fall in love with the game as you become part of the neighborhood with each interaction. In excitement for the latest version, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we have found all the best Animal Crossing-themed accessories you can get for your Nintendo Switch.
The machine itself
Nintendo Switch - Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition
Staff Pick
Nintendo unveiled a brand new Nintendo Switch design specifically for the Animal Crossing: New Horizons release. The back of the console features a subtle map design and some of the game's characters, and the Joy-Cons are a pastel mint green and light blue. In addition to the console changes, the new white base features Tom Nook and his nephews Timmy and Tommy. This version of the Switch is difficult to find, as it sold out in most places upon release. Your best chance at getting one is through eBay or a similar source. When going this route for any purchases it is important to make sure you're purchasing from a legitimate seller.
Give it a skin

Pastel joy
Animal Crossing: New Horizons Joy-Cons
Another way to bring Animal Crossing to your Nintendo Switch is with the new, pastel Joy-Cons. Get the great Animal Crossing look without repurchasing the console. These were not released separately in the U.S., but there are some alternatives to buying the Japanese ones that can be found on eBay. If you are feeling handy, you can purchase shells to replace your red/blue or gray ones with.
Just in case

Hard protection for the Lite

To give your Nintendo Switch Lite some extra protection without losing the flair, try out this Animal Crossing TPU Semi-Hard Cover. It has the cute Animal Crossing style on the back without blocking the color on the front while the TPU material prevents scratches and impact damage.
Buddy up with the assistant mayor
amiibo Isabelle
As the town's assistant-mayor (in New Leaf anyway), Isabelle is one of the most popular Animal Crossing characters. Her amiibo is a cute and functional collectible item to have for other games like Super Smash Bros and will allow you to add her to a photo shoot on Harvey's island.

A non-permanent option

With this padded dock cover, you can show your Animal Crossing spirit for now and remove it to add something else later! This cotton fabric goes over the front part of your dock without adding size to it and has a soft back to it for the screen of your Switch.

Stylish travel

Space saver

If keeping your game out of the case sounds like a risk, but carrying around the bulky box takes up too much space or doesn't mesh with your Switch case, these adorable mini game storage keychains are the best of both worlds for taking your Animal Crossing: New Horizons game with you wherever you go. These cases are made to look like the full size boxes but are only the size of the game cards and attached to a key ring for easy travel.
