Episode 28: Animal Crossing: New Horizons

This week Eric, Nicky, and special guest Shelby Harmes discuss the past, present, and future of Animal Crossing: New Horizons by Nintendo in a Plucky Aficionado episode of Press any Button. Animal Crossing New Horizons is a real time social simulation game developed and published by Nintendo for the Switch.  You control a character who moves to a deserted island after purchasing a getaway package from Tom Nook, playing the game in a nonlinear fashion and developing the island as you choose.  You can gather and craft items, customize the island, and develop it into a community of anthropomorphic animals. About us: Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime  gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video  game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story,  and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and  future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?)  BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE… Every  game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the  game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a  video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear  some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast  for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games - Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games - Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming,  mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc. Follow us on  Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/pressanybutton_podcast/ Credits: Nicky Smith Eric Luedtke Shelby Harmes Music by Eric Stetson and Mark Spurlock References: https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Animal_Crossing:_New_Horizons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Crossing:_New_Horizons https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Version_history_(New_Horizons) https://www.dexerto.com/animal-crossing/nintendo-is-killing-animal-crossing-new-horizons-by-stopping-support-way-too-early-1689781/ https://gamerant.com/animal-crossing-new-horizons-hidden-secrets-easter-eggs/
