The next Nintendo Direct is all about Animal Crossing

Sweet relief

[Update: Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct presentation added.]

It might not be the exact oasis you were waiting for in the current Nintendo Direct drought, but any Direct – game-specific or wide-ranging – is worth a look. This one’s all about Animal Crossing.

The next Nintendo Direct is scheduled for February 20, 2020, at 6:00 a.m. Pacific. Nintendo plans to spend around 25 minutes showing a final pre-launch look at New Horizons before it’s out on March 20.

Fishing and fossil collecting are my hobbies of choice, so I hope we hear more about potential museum activities. There’s so much left to learn, especially when you think about how beefy Animal Crossing guide books have been in the past. I feel like Nintendo has only scratched the surface so far.
