HORI Launches Huge New Animal Crossing Switch 2 Accessory Range
Japanese gaming peripheral manufacturer HORI has announced a fresh line of hardware accessories inspired by the hit video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The new “DIY Life” and “Celeste and the Starry Night” collections are designed specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2 console.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a highly successful life simulation title that originally launched in 2020.
Players travel to a deserted island to build their own customized town alongside a colorful cast of anthropomorphic animal villagers.
The engaging gameplay loop involves gathering materials, catching bugs, fishing, and decorating homes.
This relaxing aesthetic is heavily reflected across HORI’s officially licensed gear, and fans can choose between two new Animal Crossing design themes for their gaming setups.
The “DIY Life” motif highlights Timmy and Tommy Nook against a warm, nature-inspired green backdrop.
Meanwhile, the “Celeste and the Starry Night” pattern utilizes deep blues and transparent materials to replicate a beautiful evening sky.
A major highlight of the lineup are the advanced wireless controllers, which utilizes modern TMR magnetic sticks to prevent analog drift over long play sessions.
Let’s take a closer look at the six items featured in this island-themed collaboration!
