Questions and answers

Is this the same game as the original New Horizons?
It is the Switch 2 edition of the same game, so the core island life, villagers and collecting are unchanged. The Switch 2 version adds the hardware features Nintendo has shown for its upgraded titles.
Do I need Nintendo Switch Online to play with friends?
Yes. Visiting other players' islands and most online features require a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Is it good for kids?
Yes. It is rated E for Everyone and has no combat or time pressure, so it suits younger players and families.
How long does it take to unlock everything?
The game runs in real time, so unlocking shops, tools and island features takes weeks of short sessions rather than one long sitting.
Does it work on the original Switch?
This is the Switch 2 edition. Check the box or listing for which console it is made for before buying if you own an original Switch.
When is it cheapest?
Nintendo first-party games discount less often than most. Watch for holiday sales and bundle promotions rather than expecting deep cuts.
