Launches Exclusively for Nintendo Switch on March 20
REDMOND,
Wash., Feb. 20, 2020 – Tom Nook has an eye for business. That’s why the staple Animal Crossing character took time out
of his very busy schedule to host a new video presentation about
his latest endeavor, the Nook Inc. Deserted Island Getaway Package. In the presentation,
he details the ins and outs of Animal
Crossing: New Horizons, launching exclusively for the Nintendo Switch family
of systems on March 20. The video covers everything you, a potential Deserted
Island Getaway Package customer, need to know to get started: an introduction
to your new island life, the basics of home ownership, details about your new
neighbors, land development, exploration, crafting and so much more.
“The
Animal Crossing games offer players a unique and relaxing escape from
the stresses of everyday life, and Animal
Crossing: New Horizons
builds on that by letting players build their own island utopia from scratch,” said
Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. “When Nintendo Switch owners pack their virtual bags and move into
their new island home, they will experience more ways to customize their Animal Crossing life than ever before.
Just like Nintendo Switch itself, the game lets you play the way you want to
play.”

of the highlights of Tom Nook’s information session include:
Features new to
the series!
·
Life on the Island: Nook Inc. confidently recommends
a trip to a remote deserted island. And that’s not just because it’s the only
company that offers this type of package! On the island, life is as peaceful
and relaxing as it gets. Since the island is deserted, you can create your new
life from the very beginning – just like a pioneer! Time flows as naturally as
in the real world, including seasons and day and night cycles that mirror real
time.
·
DIY: By collecting specific materials around the island, you
can craft a wide variety of things, including tools and furniture. DIY
workshops teach you how to enrich your life by crafting DIY recipes. As you
become more familiar with DIY, you can even learn special skills like changing
the color of your DIY furniture or decorating them with custom designs.
·
NookPhone: Nook Inc. will provide some basic necessities and
services, including your very own NookPhone. It has standard apps, like a
camera and map, but over time, new applications will be added to support your
island needs. The camera can be used to take in-game photos all over the island
– you can even add fancy filters like all the cool kids are doing!
·
Nook Miles: For players looking for more
concrete goals, and to help offer guidance and inspiration on the island, you
can take advantage of the Nook Mileage program. As you fulfill certain
challenges and experiences, you will earn miles to pay off the cost of the
getaway package or, eventually, to exchange for in-game rewards. Rewards range
from in-game Nook Inc. merchandise and helpful items that can enrich your time
on the island, to tickets that you can use to visit distant islands.
·
Island Tours: These “mystery island tours” are
at the whim of the pilot, so you never know where you will end up! Once on
these smaller islands, feel free to gather as many items as you want – like DIY
materials and creatures – and take them back with you to your island.
·
Party Play: With the Nook Inc. Deserted
Island Getaway package, up to eight people can live on one island.* In Party Play,
you can call up to three other players to explore the island at the same time.
Whoever calls the others will be the Leader, making the others the Followers.
It’s easy to change out the Leader, letting others quickly take charge. Any
creatures or items found by Followers will be stored in a recycle box at the
Resident Services building!
·
Land Development: While you can cross rivers on
your island by pole-vaulting and climb elevated land using ladders, you can
also change the landscape by adding bridges and slopes. Once your island is
fully decked out, you’ll receive a permit to freely pave your own paths, as
well as perform major construction like changing the paths of rivers or
building and demolishing cliffs. With your own maintenance and construction
permits, you can flex your creative muscles on the land itself, not just the
stuff on it.
·
NookLink: Yes, Tom Nook likes to put his name on everything.
But when it’s a Nook product or service, you know you are getting something
that’s high quality. With NookLink, which is part of the Nintendo Switch Online
app, you can scan a Custom Design QR Code pattern from previous games Animal Crossing: New Leaf or Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer with your real-life
smartphone and then download them to Animal
Crossing: New Horizons. When connected online, you can talk with friends
who also have the Animal Crossing: New
Horizons game with the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app using your
smartphone as a keyboard or for voice chat. NookLink will launch in March, soon
after the selected departure included in your Deserted Island Getaway Package.
A detailed
breakdown of the Getaway Package experience!
·
Choose Your Island: Before boarding your flight to
the island, you will choose the island from a range of options. Choosing to
live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, for example, will affect the
timing of the seasons, so select the location that suits you best. When the
seasons change on the island, so do the activities. For Northern Hemisphere
residents, spring will just be starting when the game launches on March 20, so
expect blooming cherry blossoms to show up soon!
·
Orientation: After landing on the island, you
will receive a helpful orientation session from the Nook Inc. staff. At this
time, you’ll be provided with the tent that’s included with your getaway
package. You can chat with other island residents about where you want to set
up your new home, and help them choose their home locations as well.
·
Resident Services: The Resident Services facility is
available to support your daily needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They
provide you with services such as the sale of everyday goods, the purchase of
unwanted items and helpful advice.
·
Become a Home Owner: The tent provided to you by Nook
Inc. is great, but have you considered a house? Home loans have no deadlines,
interest or assessment, and you can pay your loan back at your own pace. A
house offers much more space than a tent and also includes storage space for
any extra furniture and baggage. Once you own a home, you can channel your
inner interior designer, setting up the walls, flooring and furniture however
you like. You can also use extension and remodeling services to expand and
customize your home even more.
·
Customization Deluxe: Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers more customization options
than ever before, from personalizing the look of your character all the way
down to skin tone, hairstyle and clothing, to placing buildings and items
wherever you want on the island. You can even decorate the inside and outside of your home! Turn that
island into a MY land!
·
Airport: This is the first place you will land on the
island. (It is an airport, after
all.) It’s also available to use 24 hours a day, beginning on the day after
your arrival. At the airport, you can invite residents of other
islands to your own island via the internet or local wireless. You can also travel and
visit other islands yourself! Up to eight people can play on a given island at
one time**, so feel free to get a good group together and make some fantastic
memories.
·
Island-wide Broadcasts: At the start of each day, Mr.
Nook, CEO of Nook Inc., will make a broadcast to all residents, updating them
with the latest on important island events and advice about how to best enjoy island
living.
Features and
updates to further your island enjoyment!
·
New Residents: When you first land on the island
you will only have a few animal residents living there with you. But as you
develop your island from the ground up, more neighbors will visit and choose to
move in. You can even invite some of the new residents to live there yourself!
There’s nothing better than a welcoming neighbor.
·
Free Updates: Free updates will be added after
the game launches, with seasonal events continually added throughout the year.
The first free update will be on launch day, March 20. By installing this
update, you can celebrate Bunny Day with a special event in April. If you own
both Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp for
mobile devices and Animal Crossing: New
Horizons, you’ll receive special items in each game. Details will be
announced at a later date on the official Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Twitter account.
·
Additional Facilities: As you grow your island, more
facilities will be built. This includes a museum showcasing the rich ecosystem
of the island, a shop full of ready-made furniture and goods you can’t craft
yourself, a tailor offering clothing and fashion items, and a campsite where
you can invite guests for recreational purposes.
·
Tourists & Events: Your island will not only be home
to new residents, but also tourists as well! These temporary visitors are
always welcome and can offer up items that cannot be crafted on the island.
Visitors can also participate in fun events like Fishing Tourneys and Bug-Offs,
which will pop up throughout the year. Through free updates to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, new
special events and seasonal guests will be introduced.
·
amiibo Support: Animal Crossing: New Horizons supports amiibo figures and amiibo
cards from the Animal Crossing
series. You can also invite these familiar faces to Photopia, an island that
exists in the game, where you can place models in creative photo shoots.
·
Twitter Takeover: Keep an eye out for social media
savvy Tom Nook, who is rumored to take over the @AnimalCrossing Twitter account right after
today’s video presentation.
