There’s limited-time Stuff on the line! If you’ve got 45 minutes or so to spare inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, there’s a feather-filled event running today calledFestivale.

The only villain in Animal Crossing is your indifference This week’sNintendo Directwas something of a whopper, opening with a bang inLuigi’s Mansion 3and ending the exact same way when it was revealedAnimal Crossingis in development for Switch. I likeAnimal Crossing, I’ve purchased every game in the series, but my fandom for the franchise has waned over the past few years. I very much stanned the GameCube original to anybody who’d listen to me back in the day, but now, when a new entry comes out, I can easily telegraph how it’ll go: I’ll play solidly for two weeks, then slowly taper off as other games call my attention....
