Original Story [Fri 31st Jan, 2020 00:20 GMT]: Nintendo's released a handful of Switch featuring custom designs, but this is perhaps the most beautiful-looking one yet. Of course, it's all tied to the upcoming release Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you're wanting to fully embrace the island life when the game arrives on 20th March, this official system "inspired by" the next entry in the popular social simulation series is sure to help. It's confirmed for release all over the world, too, which is nice.

It comes with a unique set of pastel-coloured Joy-Con controllers, a custom design on the back featuring several scenes straight out of the game, and a special dock that has Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy on an island.

In Europe and the UK, you also get a download code for the game itself, but neither the North American or Austalia PR emails mention this – we'll update this article once we know for sure.

A #NintendoSwitch system inspired by #AnimalCrossing: New Horizons is on the way! With unique Joy-Con controllers, a custom design on the back, and a special Nintendo Switch dock, it’s the perfect way to start your island life. Available 3/13 for $299.99.

As noted above, it'll set you back $299.99. On the same date, a New Horizons Aloha Edition carry case and screen protector will also be available for purchase. Take a look below:
