Nevertheless, the special edition console looks absolutely jaw-dropping. Past offerings from Nintendo were certainly impressive as well, but this new one takes the cake.

Animal Crossing fans will immediately recognize everyone’s favourite entrepreneur Tom Nook with his twin nephews Timmy and Tommy.

Additionally, the two Joy-Con Straps are both in ivory with the cords in the same shade as its respective controller.
