After hours and hours of meticulous solo play in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it can be super exciting to finally invite a friend or two to visit your beautiful island. There are new sights to see, new fruits and items to trade and more, so it perhaps comes as no surprise that even Nintendo's official channels are getting in on the action.
Yes, fine, the Twitter exchange below is of course a cool little marketing stunt, but just look at all those happy faces. Things kicked off this morning with a tweet from Nintendo UK, aimed at Nintendo France:
Just look at these island names, for goodness' sake. The whole chat is lame in a cool kind of way, you know? Nintendo Italia and Nintendo Nederland were next:
Next up, Nintendo DE and Nintendo España:
Finally, after one last message from Nintendo Portugal, all of our European chums came together on Nintendo of Europe's island. We do love a happy ending:
It's only a bit of fun, sure, but it is nice to see all of these Nintendo accounts link up like this. The replies are overwhelmingly positive, too, with plenty praising the company for the "wholesome" content on show.
Nice work, Nintendo.

Where's Nintendo of Canada ? 😔
@Gunit1099
Across the ocean from Europe
Absolutely adorable!!!!! Really made me smile.
I like to think it's just one person doing all those different accounts and basically having a conversation with themself. 😂
During this difficult time of Covid and quarantine, this is exactly what Twitter and the world needs right now 🥰
If Bergsala joined in, what would the island name of Scandinavia be?
@Gunit1099 you mean maple syrup island?
@DinnerAndWine yeah I guess you're right eh
@Steelhead more like Poutine Island hehe
They playing mind games with us
@Giygas_95 In my experience of working on social media accounts, this is almost certainly the case XD
@Pod IKEA-Meatball Island.
@vyseofhr You mean IKEAKöttbullar Isle? xD
Brexit island fraternising with Europe? We voted leave, Brexit means Brexit, etc.
Don't forget Chocolat Island (Belgium, Cherries)
@MrFiletOFish Precis!
Still no Nintendo Ireland Twitter. Funny enough, while letters from Nintendo used to be signed Nintendo UK or EU, lately they've been using 'Ninrendo IE" or "Nintendo Ireland".
They still mark the letters "Southern Ireland" though, so they have a ways to go as regards communication with players in the Republic.
@Cncrnt ... i suppose that Guinness island wouldnt be so much family friendly... but i would love it.
Well, we've finally found a way to settle trades and disputes between countries.
hehe I love this, this is so cute, this is how world politics should look
@Nineteendo yeah, like the rest of the world (hello UK and USA) are totally immune.
