Nintendo Switch [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Switch] has hit gold with their latest Animal Crossing [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/esports/animal-crossing/] title, New Horizons. Nintendo launched the game on March 20, 2020, and it became an instant hit. According to the NPD Group, an American market-research company, New Horizons now ranks as the third highest-selling game in the first month of launch by Nintendo. The Animal Crossing franchise started way back in 2001 and has been a huge success right from the off. New Horizons, the fifth series in the franchise, was released just about a month ago. It is already one of Nintendo’s most popular games ever. ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS A SPARKLING SUCCESS New Horizons sold the third most physical copies of all Nintendo games. This is no mean feat given the countless popular games Nintendo has given us over the years. The only two Nintendo games to have fared better in the launch month are Super Smash Bros. Unlimited in December 2018 and Super Smash Bros. Brawl in March 2008. To be in such esteemed company is commendable indeed. Since Nintendo never publish their digital sales records, NPD cannot suggest the actual sales. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Cod-Ac.jpeg] Moreover, New Horizons has already earned Nintendo more money than all previous Animal Crossing titles combined! Now that is a successful game. The sales were certainly helped by the current global crisis we are witnessing. With a majority of the population forced to stay home, people have turned to gaming as an avenue of passing the time. Furthermore, New Horizons has also helped the company double the sales of Nintendo Switch hardware last month as compared to March 2019. Looking at the overall sales this year, Animal Crossing: New Horizons sits second only to Call of Duty Modern Warfare. But it does not stop there; isolating the American market, new Horizons is now the best selling franchise game in the countries history. The latest series in the franchise sure is something special. Not only in terms of the title’s sales but it has also given Nintendo the strongest first-quarter unit sales since 2010 (Nintendo DS). What more could a company ask for? 

Nintendo has truly found some great success with their new Animal Crossing
series New Horizons.It now sits second only to Modern Warfare in 2020's sales.

<h2>Animal Crossing: New Horizons - First Release</h2>
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the fifth main title in the Animal Crossing series. The game underwent a worldwide release on March 20, 2020, for the Nintendo Switch console. Since then, it has amassed immense popularity and received worldwide acclaim.

It is currently the newest entry in the series after Animal Crossing: New Leaf (2012). Following its release, New Horizons became one of the few games in the series to get additional post-launch content periodically.

New Horizons' launch was initially planned for 2019 after the game was first announced during a Nintendo Direct in September 2018. Fans were treated with the first gameplay footage during the Nintendo Direct for E3 2019. The event showcased the new narrative and game mechanics. However, this event also confirmed that the game's launch would be delayed until March 2020.

More gameplay followed during the Nintendo Direct in September 2019, accompanied by a new trailer with additional information. After that, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct greeted fans with a detailed look into the game in February 2020. Ultimately, in March 2020, the game saw the light of the day.
<h2>What is Animal Crossing: New Horizons?</h2>
It is a real-time life simulation video game developed and published by Nintendo. The story starts with the player assuming control of a customizable character who relocates to a deserted island after purchasing a Nook Inc. Getaway Package from Tom Nook, one of the most popular Animal Crossing characters having appeared in every title in the series.

The game takes place in real-time, and a player can explore the island in a non-linear manner. They can collect and craft items and evolve the island into a beautiful community of anthropomorphic Animal Crossing villagers.

Players can progress with their island life at their own pace. They can indulge in gardening, fishing, trapping bugs, collecting fossils, and more. Getting acquainted with the animal residents, decorating and designing the island to perfection are perhaps some of the most attractive features. The time of the day and the seasons match with real life.

Fishing and catching insects are among the favorite pastimes for island dwellers. Since the game follows real-time mechanics, there is a wide variety of critters to catch, depending on the season and time of the day.
<div class="column column--6 main-header__text">
<p class="txt-big vp-slide vp-slide--up vp-delay-4">The best part about collecting all the items is that one can donate them to Blathers for the museum. Blathers is an Animal Crossing character who is exceedingly interested in the island ecosystem. He will gladly accept new species of bugs and fish and analyze the fossils dug up.</p>
Besides that, players can fill their pockets with items they find while exploring. They can also carry necessities like a fishing pole, net, shovel, and pole.

Planting flowers aids in the beautification of the island. Players can water their garden plots to make their plants bloom. Then they can harvest or cross-pollinate. One may even end up growing a flower with rare colors.

Another specialty of the island is the fruit growing on trees. Players can also plant new varieties of fruit from other islands. One can either plant a piece of fruit or dig up a sapling and carry it in their pocket until they locate the perfect spot to plant it.
<h2>Why is Animal Crossing: New Horizons so popular?</h2>
There are more reasons for the game's popularity apart from the enticing features mentioned above. New Horizons is praised for its straightforward yet immersive gameplay. On top of that, a wide range of customization options means players can modify almost anything to their liking. Besides, there is no competitive rush, meaning players can progress at their own pace.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons quickly broke several records after releasing. It became the highest-selling game in the Animal Crossing series and the second-highest selling game on Nintendo Switch.

The game provided a much-needed escape from the harsh reality for millions around the world when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak. Moreover, amid the strict stay-at-home and social distancing orders, players took to the world of New Horizons to indulge in real-life activities in the game.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons' massive popularity also stems from the variety of new features introduced. Using their NookPhone, players can keep track of critters collected, DIY recipes learned, call islanders, take pictures, collect Nook Miles, and much more.
<p class="vp-slide vp-slide--up-min vp-delay-4">One can also customize their NookPhone's appearance, use the Island Designer app for terraforming their islands, and even create intricate custom designs through Pro Designs.</p>
Players can earn Nook Miles by completing tasks or going about their daily island routine. They can then use the Miles to access new DIY recipes, bigger pockets, buy special items like a Nook Inc. uniform, alongside several other in-game services and products.
<h2>Crafting and Customization</h2>
One can give their island a personal touch. They can customize their community at their own pace with greenery, furniture, and decorative items. Then they have the freedom to place those items indoor or outdoor to their pleasing.

Players can select starting locations for their homes, the residents' homes, and several other buildings. They can place bridges and ramps, alter river paths and cliffs. Furthermore, fences are available along with a path creator.

Players can use Tom Nook's workbench to craft furniture, tools, and a lot more to decorate their island paradise. Eventually, a player will learn to create DIY benches of their own. Islanders can also teach the player new DIY recipes if the player speaks to them while they are crafting.

New buildings such as Resident Services and Dodo Airlines and locations such as Harv's Island have only added to the popularity of the game. Alongside town customization, there are also options for furniture customizations.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons- DLC Pack Although Nintendo generated huge revenue with the success of New Horizons, the company suddenly decided to stop supporting the title after the 2.0 update. Indeed, it broke several Animal Crossing fans&#8217; hearts as the developers gave up on the title just after one year of its initial release. However, in order to excite such die-hard fans, Nintendo launched Animal Crossing: New Horizons- DLC pack, Happy Home Paradise. The Happy Home Paradise DLC was Nintendo&#8217;s first and only paid DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The DLC tasks users to design the perfect vacation homes for themselves and other villagers on their island. Furthermore, the DLC offers some exclusive rewards, such as a few design features, beautiful items, and other actions. In order to try Happy Home Paradise, you first have to purchase the expansion outright from the New Horizons product page for $25. On top of that, if you purchase the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack membership plan, you can get free access to the DLC.

<h3><strong>Nintendo Switch - History, Sales, Current Market Value, Popular Games</strong></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular gaming consoles on the face of this planet. The reason behind this is not just the legacy that its creator holds but also the fact that the console captures a majority of a market that is not very passionately captured by others, or it would be better to say that not many consoles had the potential to do the same. Although there are a number of competitors in the market now, back when Nintendo Switch was released in 2017, no one stood even close.</span>

<h2>History of Nintendo Switch</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Nintendo Switch is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nintendo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nintendo</a>’s latest Primary console. It is the first home console ever to provide its users with a hybrid functionality. This console was released on March 3, 2017 worldwide.  </span><span style="font-weight: 400">The console was instantly met with a positive reaction all thanks to its innovative functionality and launch library. The most popular among its launch titles was <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a>, which usually gets credit for its success.</span>

<strong>Popular Games</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, the most popular Nintendo Switch game is <strong>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe</strong> This kart racing game from the Mario franchise was released at the same time as the Switch. Thanks to the hype of the console and the game, it has gone on to remain their undisputed leader in sales. As per the reports from the end of 2022, Mario Kart remains at the top of the best-selling Nintendo Switch games with a mammoth <strong>52 million</strong> copies sold.  </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The top position was at risk at one point, but the end of the pandemic stopped that wild run. At one point, in Switch's journey, <strong>Animal Crossing: New Horizons</strong> was a game that gained instant popularity thanks to its chill nature and its availability during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Many credits this game for keeping them happy during this trying time. Released during the lockdown period, this game was unstoppable and was easily the favorite to topple Mario Kart 8. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, that pace dropped due to many reasons, with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-animal-crossing-new-horizons-fans-give-up-on-the-game-despite-nintendo-scheduling-a-maintenance-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unimpressive updates being one of them</a>. Nevertheless, the brilliant fame saw it become the second most successful game with a little over 10 million short of taking the top spot. And all this in a short span of two years.</span>

Further down the list, <span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pokemon-scarlet-and-violet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pokemon Scarlet and Violet</a></strong>, <strong>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</strong>, and <strong>Super Mario Odyssey</strong> prove their popularity as a few of the Switch favorites with their sales.</span>

<strong>COVID-19 turned out to be a boon for Nintendo</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The COVID-19 pandemic only helped raise the popularity of the Nintendo Switch. The console sold more, and it is the newly launched game <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/animal-crossing-a-new-reality-in-the-pandemic-new-horizons-esports-news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Animal Crossing: New Horizons broke several sales records</a>. It broke the record at Nintendo for being the fastest-selling title in Europe after one year of sale.</span>

If that wasn't satisfying enough the next one will do the job. New Horizons had<a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/animal-crossing-has-broken-nintendos-first-year-sales-record-in-europe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> sold 31.18 million copies</a> dated December 31, 2020. In the same year, Nintendo Switch sold 27.3 million consoles. It is also to be noted that ACNH was not out till March 2020, making this stat even more stupendous.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Although the game has won many hearts doesn't mean it was flawless. Even the record-breaking console had its flaws. The biggest criticisms of the Switch are its low graphical power, a commonly known issue with its Joy-Con controllers, and its lack of a customizable user interface. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">While there was no fix for the graphical power, Nintendo failed to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-nintendo-games-takes-the-first-step-to-improve-the-joy-con-experience-for-its-users-free-of-cost/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">address the Joy-Con-related issues</a> for the longest time and they have yet to do anything about its simplistic user interface.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Paying heed to these problems could have won more hearts, but they did their best and produced new things. Since its release, Switch has received several new features such as Bluetooth headphone connectivity, media transfer, and game folder creation through numerous updates.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400"> Nevertheless, the hybrid console has done what it was intended to do. Since its release, the Switch has sold <strong>122.55 million units</strong> as of December 2022, making it the <strong>third</strong> best-selling game console in the world, and the <strong>second</strong> best-selling Nintendo console behind Nintendo DS, which stands at 154.02 million units sold. The top of the overall list is the PlayStation 2 with over 155 million sales.</span>

<strong>Although untouchable, Switch might finally have competition</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Nintendo Switch has been untouchable in the market for a long time. Its uniqueness has been the major reason why it stood out when compared with other consoles in the market. Nintendo sells to its own niche, hence its popularity is never threatened by its several rivals. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, new players have entered the race and the one threatening it is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/steamdeck/">Steam Deck</a>, which can now be considered a better alternative. An <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-is-steam-deck-in-trouble-asus-rog-unleashes-a-game-changer-in-portable-gaming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even better player is set to step into the field</a> as ASUS 'ROG Ally' is said to be the 'best in the world' after boasting its features recently.</span>
<h2><b>Nintendo Switch Components - Details, Costs and Differences</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Nintendo Switch comes in three variants, <strong>Original</strong>, <strong>Switch Lite</strong>, and <strong>OLED</strong>. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">The original is the first model ever launched for this console which costs <strong>$299.99</strong>. Switch Lite is a lighter model that comes without a dock and an extended battery life costing <strong>$199.99</strong>.
