Of course, while the Aloha Edition of the Nintendo Switch is perfect for Animal Crossing fans who still don’t own the console, it is a bit too much of an upgrade for players who already own the Switch given that the changes are purely cosmetic and the price remains the same at $299.99. Luckily, several retailers are offering licensed Animal Crossing: New Horizons Switch skin bundles to achieve that cute Animal Crossing design for the Switch without having to spend serious money for the same console.

One of the best-looking Animal Crossing Switch skins available right now is the one created by Controller Gear, which is officially licensed by Nintendo. The Skin bundle sports a mint green design and features Tom Nook and kids, which can be placed all over the console including the dock, Joy-Cons, and the Switch itself. The bundle also provides additional protection for the console in the form of a screen protector that is included for free. The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Switch skin is available for only $19.99, which is definitely cheaper than purchasing another Switch console just to get that Animal Crossing design.

Meanwhile, pre-orders for Animal Crossing: New Horizons are still available across major video game retailers. Unfortunately, Nintendo still hasn’t announced any official pre-order bonuses for the upcoming game. Luckily, a couple of retailers are offering their own bonuses such as Target who will reward players that will pre-purchase the game with a special themed-journal/calendar that is perfect for the most dedicated Animal Crossing fan. On the other hand, Best Buy’s pre-order bonus for the game includes a cute sticker that players can put on any tech gadgets such as a smartphone or even the Nintendo Switch.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons releases on March 20, 2020, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
