Nintendo Embraces Spanish Traditions With Its Latest Animal Crossing: New Horizons Surprise

Although Nintendo has got tons of attractive IPs to sway the players on the Switch, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a special place in the hearts of millions of fans. Since its debut in 2020, the online simulation title has succeeded in impressing the majority of the players in terms of offering an addictive gameplay.

Now they are going to get a huge surprise in Animal Crossing, based on the latest news from the developing team. It looks like the famous Spanish festival, La Tomatina, is coming to the adorable world of the Nintendo Switch exclusive.

La Tomatina is now in the Nintendo hit ACNH!

The country of Spain is known for many things but La Tomatina is the real attraction for hundreds of thousands of people who visit the European nation to participate in this festival full of fun and entertainment. It’s held in the Valencian town of Buñol, in the east of Spain, 18.5 miles from the Mediterranean. Participants throw tomatoes at each other while indulging in tomato fights. Since 1945, this amazing festival has been held on the last Wednesday of August.

Now the Nintendo Switch exclusive Animal Crossing is also set to offer La Tomatina to its players. Right now, they can buy various items based on this traditional festival, from Tanuki Shopping.

The catch, however, is that the items will be available only till August 31 since that’s the day when La Tomatina will be celebrated in Spain. So the players have a few days to get a feeling of throwing tomatoes, by purchasing related items based on the festival.

What to expect from Animal Crossing in the future?

Meanwhile, there’s a lot more that Animal Crossing fans want in their favorite simulation title. For a long time, the makers haven’t released a major update for the Switch exclusive. It’s quite weird given the fact that this is one of Nintendo’s best-selling IPs in the last two years.

Having new content to enjoy would have made a lot more sense while influencing other fans to buy the game as well. Sadly, it’s not the case right now. Hopefully, the developers will soon drop a stunning surprise in the form of an update for the hardcore ACNH fans.

Animal Crossing is now available for the handheld console worldwide. What are your thoughts on the present state of New Horizons? Also, are you going to buy the La Tomatina-themed items currently up for grabs in the game? Let us know in the comments down below.
