The upcoming free update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons contains a slew of new features, including one not seen in the series since the first game. Through obtainable retro console items, you can play classic Nintendo games in your villager’s home–though only if you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Among the additions in the game’s version 3.0 update is a resort hotel run by Kapp’n and his family; if you help them out at the hotel, its souvenir shop will offer retro Nintendo toys and game consoles, including the Game Boy, NES, and SNES.
You can then place these consoles in your home and play “a select classic game on each system.” The trailer shows the player character booting up the NES classic Ice Climber, but it’s unclear if you can play more than one game per system, and which games are available to play.
This update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons sounds exciting! It’s great to see new features being added, especially with the addition of retro games. I’m looking forward to diving into all the fun it brings!
