Hori announced it will release Switch 2 accessories and controllers based on characters in the Animal Crossing series. The items will be available via the Hori Store, Amazon, and Rakuten. The items will come out on June 30, 2026 in Japan. There’s no word on a worldwide release yet, but we did see the company’s Switch Animal Crossing items appear worldwide via stores like Amazon.
There are two flavors of the Animal Crossing Switch 2 merchandise from Hori, which are ones based on Tom Nook and the Nooklings and ones inspired by Celeste. The Tom Nook items have a brown color palette and resemble wood. The Horipad also features notable NPCs like Isabelle, Blathers, and DJ K.K. Meanwhile, Celeste’s items look purple and have a starry theme.
Here are the prices:
- Gaming headset: ¥4,980 (~$31)
- Quilted pouch: ¥4,980 (~$31)
- Shoulder pouch: ¥4,980 (~$31)
- Turbo wireless Horipad: ¥8,980 (~$57)
As a note, the shoulder pouch and gaming headset only come in the Tom Nook design. Hori will only release two items based on Celeste and her aesthetic.
While these Switch 2 accessories and peripherals from Hori aren’t part of the celebrations, 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the Animal Crossing franchise. If you open Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can receive a letter from Nintendo on a new stationary template, as well as a statue of the iconic leaf. More merchandise to commemorate the occasion may come out throughout this year and the next.
The latest game in the Animal Crossing franchise, New Horizons, is readily available on the Switch and Switch 2, and the Switch 2 accessories and controllers from Hori will come out in Japan on June 30, 2026.
