One of the well things that came out of 2020 along with an abundance of amazing video games on all platforms was the excitement surrounding the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and DOOM Eternal. Both games shared the same release date, and thanks to the internet, a flood of memes and artwork quickly appeared to celebrate the occasion. It seems like the social media team that runs the official DOOM Twitter account had some fun and posted a cute photo of Doom Guy and Isabelle holding hands with the caption ‘Happy New Horizons’.
Of course, the comments section is littered with Smash Bros. wishes and the like, yet it’s great to see such a huge internet fame with a simple yet effective photo to mark the start of a new year on ‘ a fun way to celebrate.
Nintendo in true Nintendo way has never done anything similar. Maybe this year is the year the Big N’s social media team will embrace memes and trends … one can only hope!
