Animal Crossing: New Horizons — Will It Come To PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Or 3DS?
By
Patricio Kobek
Don’t expect to see New Horizons on anything other than the Nintendo Switch.
Via: animalcrossingworld.com
The success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons since launch has been evident from both a commercial and critical perspective, which might lead some to believe that the game could be headed towards a Sony or Microsoft console, or even the Nintendo 3DS. Unfortunately, the likelihood of such a move by Nintendo is virtually non-existent.
The idea of Nintendo sharing one of their most prized franchises with either Sony or Microsoft is an idea that should be extinguished from memory and forgotten. We have seen both companies share some of their exclusives, but never any of their flagship titles. Recently Sony has announced that Horizon Zero Dawn will be making its way to PC, and Microsoft has allowed Cuphead and Ori and the Blind Forest to be ported to the Switch.

However, these are not games that have been recently released. Instead, these games have existed for years on their main consoles with exclusivity agreements, and now represent another way to squeeze some additional profits from an otherwise exhausted title.
For Nintendo to want to give up the leverage that comes with having Animal Crossing: New Horizons solely on the Wwitch, there would need to be something massive given in return.
What is less clear for some players is why the game is not seeing a release on the Nintendo 3DS. After all, both New Horizons and New Leaf share the same simple, colorful style of design in their characters and environments, as seen below, and neither is exactly a resource hog like other games might demand of their hardware.

The answer is likely a combination of factors. First, although the games work with a similar aesthetic, the Nintendo Switch is far more powerful than a 3DS, which is an odd thing to point out, since the Switch is usually the underdog when compared to a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. However, the numbers don’t lie. A Nintendo 3DS clocks in at 4.
8 GFlops and was released in 2011, a PS Vita has 51.2 GFlops and released in the same year, while a Switch has a whopping 512 GFlops.
Put simply, this difference leaves the 3DS in the dust, and while one could argue that New Horizons could simply make do with a graphical downgrade, Nintendo has long been pushing towards making the Nintendo Switch the spiritual successor to the 3DS. The Switch Lite made that even more clear, and there is no reason to even consider a 3DS version of the game.
On the other hand, it’s only a matter of time before some creative types release a fully-playable homebrew Animal Crossing: New Horizons in Dreams, but that’s about as far as one could expect to see the series outside of Nintendo.

Mass Effect Fan Shows What Companions Would Look Like If They Were Animal Crossing Villagers
One Mass Effect player shared fan art showing six of Commander Shepard’s iconic comrades as if they were Animal Crossing villagers.
Although the games Mass Effect tell a wonderfully complex sci-fi adventure about saving the galaxy, many players seem to be more interested in the many games, figuratively and literally colorful.
symbols. Release Mass Effect: Legendary Edition only encouraged fans to create even more tributes to their favorites. So one fan of Mass Effect drew all six members of Commander Shepard’s team during the original game, but as adorable villagers straight out of the Animal Crossing title.
In the Animal Crossing games, the player is challenged to interact with villagers inspired by many different animals with their personal quirks and outfits. This isn’t the first time fans have drawn characters from other franchises as Animal Crossing villagers, but perhaps one of the most suitable characters.
RELATED: Mass Effect fans share concerns about Shepard in the series depicted in vibrant colors Animal Crossing . . Each design not only reflects the personality, dress sense, and body language of the Mass Effect cast, but the artist has also given each character an existing look and personality.0007 Animal Crossing .
Other fans drew Mass Effect characters in other art styles, but Odangovich’s work was surprisingly thorough.

Kaidan Alenko is shown as a dog with a Normal personality — usually reserved for female villagers — and Garrus Vakarian transforms from a turian into an eagle with a Jock personality. Ashley Williams is portrayed as a squirrel with a sisterly personality, while Urdnot Rex transforms from a krogan into a frog with a cranky personality. Tali has gone from a quarian to an octopus with Pippi’s personality, though her elaborate hood and costume can make it hard for fans to notice the change, and Liara is going from an asari to a deer with a smug personality. Each character is shown still wearing an adjusted version of their clothing Mass Effect , and the aliens retain marks and emblems.
Odangovich noted that Kaidan and Liara’s personalities are usually gender-limited, but stated that they assign personalities that they feel fit the characters.
At the time of writing, other fans seem to agree with their choice. One user pointed out that Liara may not be complacent, but she certainly lives her life complacently. Another user stated that they can imagine this version of Rex stomping around their island.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is available now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
