## Resource

Animal Crossing: New Horizons got a huge update on Switch 1 as well as a Switch 2 Edition, and it’s time to talk all about it! Join Logan Plant, Rebekah Valentine, and Peer Schneider as they share impressions of the new features like a hotel to decorate and Nintendo items to display, and some big quality of life updates to crafting and decorating. But the big question is, is this enough to bring people back? Then, the panel kicks off NVC’s celebration of Zelda’s 40th anniversary by looking back at Ocarina of Time. In the news, hear about Switch 2’s struggles over the holiday season, Mario Tennis Fever’s big overview trailer, new Joy-Con 2 colors, and a lot more. 00:00:00 - Intro & Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition 00:26:09 - The Hyrule Times: Ocarina of Time Retrospective 00:58:07 - Switch 2 comparatively struggled over its first Christmas 01:09:26 - Mario Tennis Fever 01:15:57 - Light Purple/Light Green Joy-Con 2 revealed 01:20:20 - My Mario is coming to the West next month 01:22:59 - LEGO Pokemon & Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
