Animal Crossing turns 25, celebrates with an in-game item and Nintendo Music additions

No you're old.

On this day, all the way back in 2001, the original Animal Crossing was released on the Nintendo 64 in Japan. To celebrate, there are a number of Animal Crossing happenings. The first is an update to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which fixes a bunch of bugs and adds an in-game item.

There’s also an update for Nintendo Music, as there is every Tuesday. Today, you guessed it, it’s Animal Crossing, and the additions even include tracks from Doubutsu no Mori e+ as well. There are over 150 tracks and five hours of music.

Here are the patch notes for version 3.0.2 of New Horizons:

The following updates have been made when playing the game on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch:
