Finally, you can place the things you craft and buy anywhere outdoors as well, which represents another huge leap forward in fun customization. You can make a cool beach hangout, or a zen temple on a cliffside, just by dropping things on the ground. The total freedom to create a custom island has me more excited than anything else in New Horizons, and I eagerly await fan community tributes to Zelda, Mario, and other pop culture recreations, along with original designs. Create your personal getaway and customize your character, home, decorations, and even the landscape itselfHow Long Does It Take to “Beat” Animal Crossing: New Horizons?I know what you are going to comment: “Animal Crossing games don't have endings.” But this one does! In short, I spent about 30 hours – 32 in-game days – meeting Tom Nook's demands to complete the story and see the credits roll. But beyond that, there are hundreds of hours of things I'm already planning to do with my island, with my friends, and (hopefully) with the free event update DLC planned for later this year.

Life might be a little rustic at first – but paradise is what you make it, and new friends and opportunities are just waiting to be discovered.You can take a day trip to a randomly generated "nearby" island, which might have different fruit to nab, but "nearby" means the islands you visit are in the same season, so you won't be finding rare winter fish while its summer on your island. This is disappointing, because I loved the ability to go to an offshore island in 3DS's New Leaf. It allowed you to cheat the seasons and nab summer beetles (worth a bundle of Bells!) year round. The nearby islands of New Horizons are a dull substitute. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. The actual “Switch” itself, is the screen on which games can be played. It measures 6.2 inches and could be a little bigger, but is a healthy weight - not too much, not too little. This screen has a resolution of 720 p (so not 900 or 1080 p or "full" HD), but that's not really so much of an issue when what is being delivered instead is near-flawless framerate and resulting gameplay. Although underwhelming at launch, there is a gradually expanding range of Nintendo Switch games, filled with classic series such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8, Metroid Dread, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and FIFA Legacy Edition. What is really cool is that the console will happily run large, open-world console games such as Skyrim, for example, a game more typically seen on the larger, hefty consoles. UK Price Information
