To celebrate Mario’s 35th birthday, Nintendo is adding Mario themed items Animal crossing: new horizons. New content will be available on February 25, the developer announced today.
Included in the update are Mario and Luigi’s distinctive costumes, as well as items like Bowser flags and blocks to make islands feel a little more in tune with the mustache plumber. A preview released along with the news today features an impressive look at the possibilities, from classic items with a dungeon theme to villagers hanging out in costumes. The update will be available for free.
Nintendo teased the update earlier this year, though it would come a little earlier than expected. Animal crossing: new horizons holds year-round match events to keep the game fresh. Earlier this week, players got carnival content. The game was launched last March and is becoming a cultural phenomenon – in part because of the random timing along with pandemic locks around the world.
