How to upgrade to Animal Crossing Switch 2 Edition down at $52, more

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

If you are, for some reason, one of the only folks out there with a Switch 2 that doesn’t have a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you might want to consider this deal. Nintendo just recently released the Switch 2 Edition alongside some additional content for the game, but the Switch 2 Edition will run you $65. That’s almost certainly worth it, but you could also scoop up the Switch 1 edition on sale for $44.99 Prime shipped at Woot and then grab the $6.99 upgrade pack from Nintendo to land the same package for $52. Chances are it’s going to be a long while before we see the proper Switch 2 edition down at a price like that. “Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution, mouse control support for faster and easier decorating, a megaphone for calling your animal residents that uses the system microphone, and more.”
