Whilst there’s currently no plans for a Switch Pro, Animal Crossing fans looking to freshen up their Switch have just been thrown an absolutely gorgeous lifeline by Nintendo.

The company has revealed a New Horizons themed system, complete with beautiful pastel Joy-Con, a unique back plate, and a beautiful dock featuring Tom, Tommy, and Timmy Nook, and well, just look at it!

The system is launching alongside Animal Crossing New Horizons in Europe, Japan and Australia on 20 March, but the US will get it a week earlier on 13 March. The system will cost $299.99, and the case you can see in the above images will also be available on the same day. There’ll also be a Switch Lite case sporting the same design.

Nintendo UK also dropped a trailer for the system, confirming that the console will come with a download code for the game - in Britain at least anyway.

Are you going to be picking one of these up? Let us know down in the comments!
