The next Nintendo Direct is about Animal Crossing: New Horizons

What’s Nook got to do with it?

It’s been over 180 days since the last Nintendo Direct, and now we’re finally, finally getting one — and it’s going to be completely focused on Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Yes, we know: we wish there was a regular meaty Direct happening that gives some idea of what else is coming this Spring/Summer, but hear us out. ANIMAL CROSSING. Yeah, okay, we got ya on our side now. The Direct will be 25 minutes long and dive into the magic of the game. It will air Thursday, February 20 at 6AM PT/9AM ET on Nintendo’s channel.

Tune in on February 20 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m ET for a roughly 25-minute livestreamed #AnimalCrossing: New Horizons Direct, featuring an in-depth look at Nook Inc.’s Deserted Island Getaway Package! pic.twitter.com/3j4EaUw8Pl
