Animal Crossing: New Horizons isn't out quite yet, but in North America, you can buy a special themed console which – let's face it – is one of the most gorgeous things we've ever laid eyes on.
The console launched yesterday, and we spared no expense in snapping one up and getting a video and gallery live on the site for your viewing pleasure.
It doesn't include the game (the European bundle will), but that's a small price to pay for having such a beautiful system sitting next to your television. Heck, this thing is so alluring you could just stare at it all day, let alone play things on it.
Did you pick one of these lovely, lovely consoles up? Let us know with a comment.

Looking forward to picking mine up on Thursday night. Not looking forward to having to apply another screen protector as I always stuff it up.
Doesn't even need a video proof - the photos alone at least TEMPT me to agree with the title.
I haven’t opened it. Afraid to open the box lol
It looks so much nicer in person.
Mine came in the mail yesterday and I took it out of the box to check everything out, put a screen protector on it and put it back in the box. It's too pretty to play it, I'll just sit it on the shelf and stare at it every now and then haha.
Call me churlish, but I think the switch screen itself should be white. The black kind of breaks the design for me.
Not that I would turn one of these beauties down as is like
I love those JoyCon colours
I hate it coz I can't afford it
I don't think I'll ever bun a console a second time just because of looks no matter how nice... I got the Switch the day it launched, just like my 3DS, and never got a second copy of the same system after that. I don't know, it feels too expensive, and in this case, it's not like the enhanced version of the Switch has exclusive games or anything.
Ok now I want one. Thanks <.<;
And Perfect for Scalpers. They should keep making them to stop the Scalpers that will teach them a lesson.
One Of The Most Beautiful Things Humankind Has Ever Created
...and this is one of the reasons why people make fun of Nintendo fanatics.
The buttons, joysticks, and bezel should have been white. Would have been much nicer.
That gorgeous Yoshi 3DS would like to have a word with you.
@Crono1973 Yeah, feels like they're just adding to the hype and annoyance of people who are disgruntled about shortages. Eh, it really isn't that great. It's not bad, I like the back of the console itself, but the dock feels like it could easily be done myself. The colour of joy-cons have never been of interest to me, either.
That actually does look fantastic.
Not totally sold on the dock, but the joy cons do look sa nighse...
Hyperbole much? It's a piece of freaking plastic.
Not a fan personally..but my wife would like it for sure
I don’t think it’s all that tbh
Honestly, the dock looks like an amateur paint job on a concrete wall at the zoo.
Already sold out to those of us who missed the pre-order.
The Console itself should also follow the color change instead of being the black color. If they did that it would be a game changer.
Aw man. That is the most beautiful gaming system I have ever seen. I was going to pre-order one but I just couldn't bring myself to purchasing another Switch and I didn't want to have to go through the whole system transfer/trade-in process. But now that I'm seeing everyone get their units in... I am full of regret. Perhaps if they ever go back in stock I'll make the plunge. This thing is a work of art.
If the Switch itself was white, I'd really be tempted. I do like the joycon colours.
That black just doesn't work with the vibe of the unit.
@DeathByLasagna Your not the only one................
It's the most beautiful console I've ever seen. It's heaven.
Doesn't look quite as nice in those pictures.
If I hadn't bought a switch at launch, this is the one I would get. It's really beautiful. I just can't afford to buy this one though. Ah well, maybe next time I'll just wait a few years before I buy the newest console.
To be honest, I think it's ugly. Haha. Just my opinion.
With coronavirus, expect all pasta, hand sanitizer, and Animal Crossing Switch consoles to be sold out.
I want those joycon.
I collect controllers and joy cons. I love the colours of these. HOWEVER, that white is horrible and will be grubby in hours. I could have handled the 'grip' being white but why not the back in the same blue/green as the front 😒
Oh this is very very pretty. I already have two. I bought one, then the Splatoon 2 bundle came out so I bought that. I really want this one, but honestly, I think there will be a pro model come out within the year, so I will wait. But dang, if I was just jumping in, this would have been a day one purchase.
Well...I don't see something beautiful in it.
I'm down for the joy cons
Dont care about the console etchings and dock is kinda ugly to me because of all that blank space
I mean, it's not unappealing or anything, but it doesn't strike me as being anything of note.
People need to think long and hard. We are lucky they did this from OEM. If not you can always buy your own custom sticker and make it look like it. But having a OEM is one I would go for.
With all these hope no drifting.. cause i may consider getting this along the lines.
I have it. I love it. So worth trading in my launch edition switch. ☺
I really like the White dock and colorful Joycon with White straps. 😀
Except the Switch body still Black with some pattern on the backside.
If only the Switch body is All White....
@KIRO Yeah the grip controller should have been that eggshell white too, to match the new joycons.
@SwitchForce lots of copies painted docks going about at the market. People been buying them and look so fake..... But kids don't know. 👌Easy money for the cons at market.
@hakjie11 fake Dock version at market if you vant. You vant.. Just diff paint job that's all. You vant it ples your details and you will like👍👍😁😎
I just wish they would come to there senses and release a teal and purple joycon set
Meh, there were some much better looking 3DS editions.
The dock is kinda bland because of all the blank space. The Switch itself is the biggest thing taking away from this. The case and bezel for it should be coloured as well. The black really contrasts, and not in a good way,
It's pretty, but I'm holding out for a coral pink switch lite. 😊
As others have said, if only the console was white too... Saw one in person yesterday. It is quite nice looking. Love the joycons, and the dock. Just not the total package for me, so I'll keep my launch switch. Hoping theres a BotW2 one that catches my eye.
@Crono1973
I hate these clickbait titles
I appreciate the uniqueness of the color change but this is honestly not that attractive to me. The great thing is now you have a pastel colored defective left Joycon.
Definitely is very appealing! Though it wasn't in my possession for very long, it certainly is a nice looking console!
Congratulations! This has made it on r/tomorrow!
It's a nice looking kit, if I didn't already own a Switch I'd strongly consider picking it up. Kind of ridiculous that the US version of the bundle doesn't come with the game, though. Poor show, NoA.
I bought one of those kits on Amazon and my switch looks like an NES Now😍
I do want one but have no need for a new Switch which is a shame because it looks just lovely.
Wish they would make the whole thing fit a color scheme aside from just the joy cons.
Couldn't get it, so I will be picking up the joycons and the carrying case! Love the color scheme.
@KIRO agree!
Remember it's what's on the inside that counts; those joycons gonna drift
Hopefully they'll release the joycons separately too. Mind you, that dock is lovely. I'm sure someone will do a vinyl for it, though.
I love mine, it's gorgeous. I love the design on the back.
I gave in and bought one from a reseller for $400. Not bad, since with tax it would have been about $325. I'm pretty sure they'll be back in stock at some point, but now I don't have to be glued to Brickseek. OCD is a bad thing!!!
Does anyone know yet if this had a DL code or pre install? If the latter what does that mean coming from an OG Switch full of games?!
RELAX WITH THE HYPERBOLE, DONT GET ME WRONG IT LOOKS NICE, PERHAPS AVERAGE, ERGO IT IS NOT ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFAUL THINGS EVER CREATEED RELAXa DOG HUAmfna
