Missed out on the glorious Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch? Well, it looks like you might be in luck.
Nintendo Australia has announced that a new shipment of the special console is coming later this month, arriving at "selected retailers" on 26th November. Stock has only been confirmed for Australia/New Zealand so far, but similar restocks in the past, also initially announced by Nintendo Australia, did make their way to other territories too.
As you'll no doubt have seen if you've had your eye on one for a while, the Animal Crossing edition Switch features a special white dock boasting artwork of the Nooks, a unique Joy-Con pairing of pastel blue and green, as well as a specially designed console with Animal Crossing-inspired art on the back. If only we could justify buying another Switch...

My Walmart still get these more than regular switch consoles actually. I was checking the Switch section out within this past week and that’s what was in the case.
I would have been mighty p'ed off if I wasn't able to nab one prior, especially with the OLED model now available. Such a gorgeous system. It's a shame that the cover was never restocked though.
Finally!!
I’m in Melbourne and I’ve been trying to get one of these for months.
So happy it’s coming back.
These pop up pretty regularly on Amazon USA for retail price. It’s nice to see them somewhat keeping up with demand for a change. Now what I REALLY want is a limited edition Metroid OLED. Missed opportunity with both of them launching same day last month.
Every Walmart near me still has several of these, more of these than regular Switches.
Also have been seeing a TON of Oleds
Still easily the best special edition Switch, imagine on OLED version of it
Yeah, it’s really easy to get in the US. Not everyone lives in the US, apparently. Haha
It's been in and out of stock in the US for about 7 months or so.
I saw one for the first time in months just yesterday in my local Walmart in the US. It wasn't there before so I don't know if it was found after being lost in the stockroom or there are more coming.
This needs an OLED edition, although the White OLED switch is perfection.
It might be in plentiful supply in the US but it is definitely not here in Australia.
Just pre ordered one for my daughter as she wants a Switch for Christmas, no, she doesn't want the OLED model as she doesn't like the bland white.
I love both of my ACNH Switch consoles, but I kinda wanna sell them and replace them with Switch OLED systems instead. Actually I want to replace all my other Switch systems for OLED's...
Saw a bunch being stocked at local Targets and Wal-Marts here in the States. They have also been featured in new Holiday Switch commercials. I'm thinking there is new stock available.
I got one last year near Xmas for the wife so I could get her off my OG Switch as she is an AC junkie. It really is a nice edition with the etched back and pastel joycons. The dock is sharp as well. I only wish it had AC bundled with it but she had the Cart. Thankfully they made the transfer tool so I could move her island and get my Switch back plus I use her joycons as she plays with a powerA Cube controller for that authentic retro feel. She is so jazzed for the 2.0 update and DLC. If N still has a lot of these in the US I wish they would add a code to the box for the game and make it a true bundle.
Honestly... I bought them just recently! However, here in the US the box is not sealed, so I took a peek at the Joycons, and.... I have to level with you guys, the blue and green pastel colors just don't look as good in person as they do in the promo photos.
In those very aesthetic pictures, it seems like the pastel colors of the Joycons would be MUCH lighter in shade than they appear in person. I was pretty disappointed, so... I returned them D:
(Best Buy is great with returns/customer service here in the US)
