<p>In closing out today’s Nintendo Direct, the company announced <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/animal_crossing"><strong>Animal Crossing</strong></a> would be coming to the Switch.</p>
<p>This marks the first time in over 10 years that a mainline Animal Crossing game has appeared on a Nintendo home console. The team here at Nintendo Life is, to put it mildly, <em>excited</em> about the release. All we know for now is the yet-untitled Animal Crossing title will come to the Switch in 2019.</p>
