Turns out there are some bonuses. :D The one I have ordered comes with a tote bag, and the price lowered to £50.

I've seen some pre-orders with cute keychains, which I would prefer but I'm going to stick with what I have. :)

So far I've only seen the bonuses within the UK. My partner and I decided to go with Smyths for our pre-order because of the stationary set. I just can't say no to stickers!

No pre-order bonuses from what I've seen here in Sweden. I'm contemplating buying the digital copy just because of that.

An Animal Crossing-themed switch has been revealed and those pastel Joy-Cons are to die for! The Splatoon Joy-Cons were sold separately, so I hope the same happen with these! I love the leaf case too but I wouldn't have much use for it, haha.

It releases March 13th: https://animal-crossing.com/new-horizons/

The case will be sold separately, too. Also the console doesn't come with the game, unlike previous bundles (I think). :P

There's a bundle in the UK that comes with it, I'm upset that this one doesn't come with the game! I still seriously might get it using my tax return money. We have a Switch but I rarely play it due to my sisters usually being on it. It's a hassle to get a hold of to play. I'll have to sleep on it more, but I really love the color scheme!

I wish Joy-cons weren’t so expensive. That’s a nice color.

I've pre-ordered the console! I was considering getting the case to match, but the pre-orders on Target have sold out twice already! I'll probably make my own custom one to have my favorite villager on it because I'm not a huge fan of the case anyway. Or maybe it's just sour grapes.
I'm not sure if there will be console pre-order issues, but I know some Canada retailers have capped their pre-orders already. Amazon has a placeholder but no pre-order yet.

Yeah, I really liked the pink Joycon from the Splatoon set. Apparently the US vs European (IIRC) version had reversed Joycons, so you could get one set of each and have two pink Joycons.

But then I saw the price for even one pair of Joycons and was like "Nope".

I saw replacement shells on Etsy, perhaps you could find them on Aliexpress or Alibaba?

So, to someone who loves Pokemon and Mario (and I loved Spyro back in the day!) would you recommend this game?

Any particular reviews I should read?

I'm considering this and/or Breath of the Wild to expand my games.  (As literally I only have Pokemon Shield right now for my Switch Lite.)

I'd love to know more!  <3

I love both of those games, but it's not exactly comprable to either of those. It's basically a life simulator where you are a villager/mayor in a little town of animals. I think there's a big overlap between Pokemon and AC fans. It's much more laid back though, and you play in real time (unless you time travel...it's meant to be experienced in real time :P) to grow the town. There's a lot of collectibles and design aspects of the game, and this one will have tons more design aspects (that we know of! still a lot of stuff we haven't heard of yet) because you can decorate the town itself much more than before.
I'm not sure about reviews, but I would suggest getting a ROM of a previous game to see how you feel about it. New Leaf (3DS) s the fullest of the games, but Population Growing (Gamecube, the original in America) is a bit more clunky but has a lot of charm. I have a soft spot for Wild World, but be warned the graphics aren't quite there (at least on official hardware, not sure how the ROMs perform) and there aren't as many holidays as the other games have. City Folk is essentially Wild World on the Wii.
This game is supposed to differ from previous ones in that you start out with less villagers and there is crafting now, which is new. If you're like me and you love both Mario and Pokemon for the collecting aspect, then I think you're sure to at least find some fun in this game!

Animal Crossing is more comparable to Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon if you know about those!

One thing is you could take note of what makes you like the other games. Animal Crossing may be its own thing, but there are still some draws to it that you can find in small amounts in other series... Like in Pokemon, if you like dressing up your character, like decorating the Secret Bases in R/S/E/OR/AS, like the day/night cycle and having different events happen (something they haven't done much at all in Pokemon since G/S/C *sigh*), these are all prominent features you'll find in Animal Crossing.

My first experience with Animal Crossing on the GCN was magical. It was just so different from what I had played before, yet, also amazing. I was so happy to see a game that focused on creativity and interaction instead of stress and fighting all of the time.

I'd say at least give Animal Crossing a try! I sure am glad I did!
