Early on in March, when we all went indoors, some of us lucky ones with cash to spare (not us) thought ahead (also not us) and ordered a Nintendo Switch and downloaded Animal Crossing. The game was cute, calming, and all ruled by the Tom Nook, who we’re pretty sure is the devil.
Earlier today, Nintendo announced that starting on July 3rd, you’ll be able to dive and swim in Animal Crossing. Mermaid furniture is also coming back in case you want to go full Ariel.
As usual, Twitter was silent. By which we mean, it erupted with a whole scuba tank full of tweets about the update. Sure, you can’t swim in a real pool or go to the beach, but hey, this is the next best thing, right?
