Nintendo Switch 2 Edition announced for Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Nintendo has scheduled Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for release on January 15th. Enhanced features include higher resolution visuals, mouse controls, and an in-game megaphone that uses the built-in microphone.

Nippon Columbia published the New Horizons limited edition soundtrack, spanning four background music compact discs and three discs of K.K. Slider instrumental tracks. The character K.K. Slider can be persuaded to visit your town each Saturday to perform his songs, which can be purchased through the Nook Shopping terminal. Known as "Totakeke" in Japan, the name is a nod to series sound director Kazumi Totaka.

The second soundtrack volume includes 100 music tracks on compact disc from "Totakeke Music Live," and background music featured in the free content update, alongside a DVD with "Totakeke music video" and Morning Aerobics content, featuring in-game footage.

Music for the game is by Yasuaki Iwata, Shinobu Nagata, Masato Ohashi, Yumi Takahashi and Sayako Doi. A Theme Song Performance video is streaming on the Nintendo of America YouTube channel.
