In a time of high anxiety, there are few activities quite as calming as looking for shells, shaking trees and maybe catching a fish or two. Nintendo's Animal Crossing might just be one of the most soothing video games ever created — and in an age of constantly escalating fear levels, we're all for anything that'll help chill everybody out.
To help, we want to give you your own copy of the brand-new Animal Crossing: New Horizons game, a Nintendo Switch to play it on and some more cool stuff if you win The Nintendo Gaming Bundle Giveaway happening right now.
If you aren't up to speed on your gaming sensations, the latest installment in the popular Animal Crossing game series New Horizons dropped in March — and a quarantined world went nuts for it. The game sold 5 million digital copies in the month, the first console game to ever reach that plateau.
In the game, you play a little guy who just moved to a deserted island — and now, it's up to you to make it a true tropical paradise. Of course, there's no real pressure because there's no time limit or real goal to reach. It's just a free and easy exploration of the island as you gather supplies, invite friends to visit and start your own community of anthropomorphic animals. No, seriously, it's super tranquil — and incredibly compelling at the same time.
Of course, a game isn't much good without a gaming system, so we'll also throw in a Nintendo Switch. And you'll get a pair of Switch-compatible Logitech wireless surround sound headphones to help you feel fully immersed in the game. And to round things out, you'll also receive a $300 gift card to the Nintendo eShop, so you can either make in-game purchases, add a few new games to your library, or spend it any way you want. It's all up to you.
Altogether, it's a $1,000 value — and all you've got to do to enter is fill in your short entry form and click send. There's no purchase necessary and everyone is welcome to sign up and take your shot at the prize. You can also pick up an additional entry by getting a friend or family member (21 years of age and older) to enter as well. And since you'll likely invite them to your island, it seems like the least they could do.
Registration ends soon, but don't sleep on this contest. Sign up — and good luck!
