[Kit] -Ta-da.
[deeply inhales] [Krysta] -OK. Deep cleansing breath.
Breathe in, breathe out.
-Oh, there's a message in a bottle right here! Also, which is--
Oh my gosh!
[Nintendo Minute jingle]
[peaceful synth music] [Krysta] -Hi guys, welcome back to Nintendo Minute.
We are here with something amazing. [Kit] -This. This is it.
-Yes, we've got our little mitts on this which is exciting. -Yes.
-We're gonna give you a detailed,
thorough, look, at this wonderful,
wonderful thing which is the Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Edition.
-Love it. -Yay! Uh, OK, let's look at the box.
-Begin with the box, yes. -Cause it's very cool. Um, so on the front,
you kinda see what's all inside.
-Uh, you have this really cool dock that has Tom Nook, and Timmy, and Tommy.
And it's like a very pretty. -There's Tom Nook himself.
the man himself. Uh, really pretty pastel color Joy-Con.
And matching wrist straps. -I like there's kind of a pattern itself
on the wrist strap.
-Oh, wow. -They're vintage, yes. -Yeah.
-And of course, you have like, sort of the island-- -Island theme world.
-theme on the back, -Yeah. Where you'll--
-where you see some of the familiar Animal Crossing trees,
and your little tent that you start with. So, very cool.
-Where do we begin? Ta-da. Oo-ooh. -Ooh.
-Alright. -Oh, this is a really pretty color
-Yes. -when you look at it... in person.
Well, let's look at the Joy-Con first. -Let's check these out first.
-You have pastel green, I have pastel blue. -Mm-hmm.
-Oh, this is really nice. Look how pretty it is.
It's so nice. -You can also see here,
this is where the white meets either the pastel green or blue that way.
-Yeah, I like how it's like, sort of a matte finish as well.
-It looks like-- -Yeah. Feels nice. -it's not super shiny,
it feels really nice. -Right. Mm-hmm. -Let me see yours. Ooh,
it's really nice to, um, seeing the, the colors in person
'cause it's a little bit brighter than-- -Yeah.
-on the box, so-- -I like the HOME Button on the Animal Crossing system
'cause it looks like it could be from Animal Crossing. -Oh yeah,
like your Animal Crossing house. -Yeah, like "Oh, that's where I live, whoop."
[laughter] -You know, it's a little--
-I'm gonna go in there, boop. [laughter]
Yeah. -Oh, you know, these little buttons are green.
Oh, that's so cute. I love that. -Oh yeah, check that out. -So cute. Oh no. OK.
-Here we go.
-Does this--? Do you think it smells differently than other hardware?
-Maybe you can be the judge this time.
-It smells good but-- -You be my dis--disciple. -I don't think it smells--
-You gotta breathe deeply. -OK. [deeply inhales]
[Krysta] -Deep cleansing breath. Breathe in, breathe out.
-It's like I'm on an island. [laughter]
-What if it smells like a tropical island coconut? -It smells like Tom Nook.
-It smells like Tom Nook. Mmm! -That's my official review: smells like Tom Nook.
[laughter] -He smells like coconuts and sunblock.
It's what I imagined he would smell like. [laughter]
Don't ask why. -Ooh. Wow. -Wow.
-Oh, this is amazing. -Alright. So, this is the island motif--
[Kit] -I want to just run my finger over this. [Krysta]
[Krysta] -like gently. [Kit] -So, you don't feel--
[Krysta] -It isn't a lot of-- [Kit] -a lot of texture. [Krysta] -Yeah.
[Kit] -But there's a bit, yes. [Krysta] -Yeah, but you can see that it's two different finishes
[Kit] -Yeah. -So, um, there's like--
I like how there's like a wave pattern, so it's like,
it kind of gives you the indication of like, water
in-between all the different islands. [Kit] -Yeah, and you can
make out the silhouettes of different characters there.
[Krysta] -They're all different too. Yeah. [Kit] -They're different.
[Kit] -There's a lighthouse. This looks like a, a campfire.
[Krysta] -This is your HOME Button. [laughter]
[Krysta] -And then the little tents. [Kit] -There's a snowman.
-Yeah, so different, like, seasons maybe-- -Yeah.
-represented here. -Balloon. Is there fruit though?
-There's fruit. -That's a hot topic of debate in the office.
What fruit--? -What starting fruit do you need/want--?
-Do you need? Right. -in your Animal Crossing: New Horizons game?
-And your answer is? -My answer is cherries.
And my uh, I'm a cherry purist. Uh, your answer is--? -My answer is I don't care.
[ding noise]
-I have a devil-may-care attitude about fruit. I'll take what I get.
-You're a rebel. [chuckles]
-Look out I'm a bad boy. -You shouldn't have such a cavalier attitude about fruits.
-I said devil-may-care not cavalier. It's different. -Cavalier.
Cavalier. -Anyhow. Back to this... -Any-who,
this is really beautiful. Oh, there's a message in a bottle right here also,
which is, oh my gosh, so-- Uh, OK.
-I think it's a letter from you that says, "Always be funny."
[chuckles] Which is a note that you write to yourself.
-Alright, second layer time.
-You do the honors. -It's like a, it's like a multi-layered birthday cake.
-Ooh. -Second layer time. -Uh-huh.
-Uh-huh. -Alright, we got some paperwork here.
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. -Got our cabling right here.
-Let's do the-- non-exciting, but essential things. -Yeah, yeah we need these.
-Out of the way first. -Those are important. Included, yes.
-Included? This is the-- -Now what's this? Alright.
We have a Joy-Con grip. You can put this in.
-Oh put it in, yes. -Might as well.
But you know, we're gonna have to take it out because I think we do want
to see those wrist-- -Excuse you. -Those wrist straps
that we were very-- Oh here they are.
[Krysta] -Stop it. [Kit] -I found it. [Krysta] -I want to look at them
[laughter] -Here we go. Yes. -Ooh. Oh, wait.
-O-o-oh! Well, that's cool because it's like-- -So the-- so the...
-OK. -The body, part of it is white. -Yes.
-But yeah, this has the matching blue or green. -Oh my gosh.
-And it does have this kind of, multicolored thing. I can see some white.
-Thing? Good description. -I can-- I can see some gray. Wow.
[laughter] -It's-- There it is. Put it on my wrist.
-Oh. -Looks good.
Oh yeah. -Yeah? -Yeah, looks good.
It could be a bracelet. It's very fashionable. -Huh. I like that, yeah.
-It's like a friendship bracelet. OK, anyways.
-Also helps you know which one it goes with. -Goes where. Yeah, exactly.
-Blue with blue. Green with green. Green with blue, no.
-Don't do that. -Blue with blue, yes.
-Green with blue, green with-- Wait, what?
[laughter] -Oh, no.
-Green with-- Blue with-- -I would say left from right but that's not gonna help you.
-Click. -Oh. Look at that. -Wow.
-Look at that. -That's very nice. -Phenomenal.
-OK. -But I think there's one more thing in this box.
-There is the-- I saved the best for last, maybe.
The wonderfully designed dock, which, unlike other docks,
is not black. Are you excited? -Open it.
-OK. Let's show them. [chuckles]
H-a-a-a-a. -Beneath the protective layer. -Oh, wow, this is really nice.
[Kit] -Wow. -Oh, wow.
-I wanna touch this too. Oh, yeah.
-Um, OK. Let's look at-- very closely at this.
Uh, this is, like-- kind of a matte finish as well.
Um, similar to the texture of the white part of the Joy-Con actually I think.
-I spotted a great detail here. -What is it?
-On the top, there's a small Nintendo Switch logo that you may have missed.
-I already saw that long ago. -Well... -I was just getting there.
-It's a shame you didn't say anything about it here.
-Well, I was still talking-- -The Nintendo logo as always. -Mm-hmm.
-This door opens right out. -Yep.
-You can see inside, kind of the connector part is black.
-Yes. Uh, of course you have all the goodness on the bottom. -Yes.
-Things you need to know. -There you go. -Thank you.
Uh, and this cute little image of Tom Nook and the Nooklings.
He's holding the, the New Horizon's flag and the,
the leaf is a little bit different for New Horizon. It has like a little--
Like, what is it called? Vein, leaf veins on it?
-Now. We need to put the Joy-Con back on.
-And then-- -So we can put this in the dock. -OK. Let's,
let's just-- Again, let's do a little... [breathes deeply]
-Catch our breaths here. Hoo. -Clean up here.
-Right. -OK. -Here you go.
[Krysta] -Am I doing the honors? [Kit] -Yes.
[Krysta] -Here we go. Beautiful dock.
[Kit] -Wow.
-We need to see it for ourselves. [chuckles]
Oh. -Oh wow, that looks so good!
Oh, this is so nice.
This is like a piece that you would be so proud to just, like,
display in your living room. -On a dock. Yes. -On a dock.
I mean the dock would just be out, and you just feel like, you wouldn't have to like,
[Krysta] -conceal it. You just want to, yeah, It's like a--
[Krysta] -like a piece of art. It's so nice.
Wouldn't you agree? -Yes.
-Wholeheartedly? -Truly, and wholeheartedly. -Truly, truly, truly.
Alright, well that was really, really fun. Um, again-- -Yeah.
-You and I have not seen this at all, so it's really fun to see it, like in person.
I definitely closely examined the, the photos we've been-- -With our eyes and our nose.
[laughter] -Um, so,
this comes out on March 13th. Just a, a couple of days.
[Kit] -A week before. [Krysta] -A week before the game.
[Kit] -The game is not included. [Krysta] -The game is not included.
[Kit] -Yeah, so you need to pick that up separately. [Krysta] -Yes, yes,
but this comes out so you can get your-- -Get ready.
[Krysta] -stuff all in, in line and ready to go,
and when March 20th rolls around, you can be ready to play, yeah.
Uh, we had a great time showing this to you.
