Players can use 2000 Nook Miles at the Nook Store to unlock the ‘Custom Design Pro Editor+’. As per Nintendo, “It’ll provide a more robust set of features, allowing for the customization of umbrellas, small flags, uchiwa and photo stands.”
Last month’s Mario crossover gave us a chance to see our favorite characters from the franchise in new Horizons. Following that, this month we have a Sanrio crossover. According to Nintendo’s blog post,
“Starting March 26, the Animal Crossing Sanrio Collaboration Pack will be available for purchase at Target stores across the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $5.99. You’ll be able to use these six vibrantly designed amiibo cards to invite cute and colourful Animal Crossing residents inspired by popular Sanrio characters to your island, including Rita, Chai and Toby.”
