After a long day at the work factory, I like to wind down with some feel-good content. While I’ve had to wait an extra few months for new Animal Crossing: New Horizons to hurry the hell up and get released, Nintendo Direct has delivered me just enough wholesome content to tide me over until March 2020.

Pocket Camp was a nice appetizer, but it’s no substitute for the real thing. Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Switch, coming March 20, has co-op and crafting. Also, you can now fill the world with items and furniture, not just your house.”]
The latest gameplay reveal is a Tom Nook’s promotional video (shudder) revealing there’s updated graphics on the way along with familiar features and new a crafting system that might become a little tedious.
The crafting system will mean a flimsy axe will set you back five tree branches and a stone, while a flimsy net will put you back five tree branches.
It’s a pretty exciting addition to the game, as previously cutting down a tree provided little value other than a making a stool and left the world littered with ugly stumps.
The rest of the Wholesome trailer shows the seasonal changes, a new reward system called ‘Nook Miles’ (always suspicious of shady Mr Nook) and the ability to stargaze.
Crossing rivers is also now a whole lot easier, according to the video, thanks to a genius pole-vaulting idea.
Mr Nook’s video ends with the unveiling of a new photo capture system for when you invite your mates over to your getaway island. It’s so bloody tender.
March 2020 can’t come soon enough.

As of today, he’s jobless — another victim of capitalism and technology.”]
