Will Nintendo Switch Fans Witness A Massive Animal Crossing Surprise In 2023?

Nintendo Switch was released in 2017. It released many new first-party games to it, just like it does for every single new console it launches.  Super Mario Odyssey, Luigi’s Mansion, and The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild are only a few of a range of games that launched exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo also turned a new page for its gaming consoles by introducing a console that was easy to develop and powerful enough to run some really graphically intense games. This led to Skyrim, Wolfenstein, and Doom and Doom Eternal making it to Switch.

And in 2020 along with Doom Eternal came Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch brought a record number of new players to the series

Animal Crossing: New Horizons was released in 2020 for Nintendo Switch. Before this latest installment, this series had a very limited fanbase. People who played Animal Crossing played Animal crossing because they had been playing Animal Crossing ever since the series started.

And there was always a shortage of new players coming to it. To them, there were games like Stardew Valley available, with a lot more in-depth gameplay mechanics. So Nintendo decided that the userbase that Nintendo Switch has created can be convinced to give the new Animal Crossing a go.
