Last year, Nintendo Partnered with the Seattle Aquarium to host the Animal Crossing: New Horizons X Seattle Aquarium Partnership. It was an in-person event where attendees could participate in a number of different activities reflective of Animal Crossing’s longtime celebration of wildlife. Apparently the event went over (ahem) swimmingly (a pun!) and now Nintendo is bringing the fun to people all over the United States.
