Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to dominate social media and video-sharing platforms like Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. Fans have been using the game as an outlet, displaying their passion, creativity, and even celebrating birthdays themed after the much-loved game. One particular YouTube channel has gone above and beyond combining The Simpsons with New Horizons, and the results are impressive.
YouTube channel Great-Bit Arcade has used Animal Crossing: New Horizons to recreate some iconic intros to popular cartoons shows. Shows like Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, and Phineas and Ferb have been painstakingly recreated with details that hardcore fans can appreciate, helping make New Horizons be on of the most talked about games on Twitter. The channel's latest upload, a recreation of The Simpsons' intro, is no different.
With Covid-19 restrictions keeping people at home, binge watching classic television shows and diving deep into games like Animal Crossing has been a common activity for many. Watching The Simpsons is now easier than ever with Disney+ making the show accessible at any time in the correct aspect ratio. The same can be said for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the game is the most accessible the series has ever been allowing players to create and share their work seamlessly.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has had a tremendous amount of outreach as well with celebrities sounding off on Twitter about their towns, villagers, and house decor. New Horizons has inspired an incredible amount of creativity with popular screen writer, Gary Whitta, creating an in-game talk show similar to its late night counterparts with celebrity guests visiting like Selena Gomez, Danny Trejo, and Head of Xbox Phil Spencer.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has quickly become one of Nintendo's highest selling games on the Nintendo Switch. In the short span of six months that the game has been out for the console, it has dominated sales charts with sales numbers comparable to the heavy hitters like Mario Kart 8: Deluxe and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Nintendo has had to re-organize many release plans for upcoming games due to work-from-home mandates so it seems like New Horizons may still be the talk of the console for the remainder of 2020.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out now for the Nintendo Switch.
