It happened. It finally happened. Those amazing Nook Inc. “Aloha” woven button-up shirts that Nintendo staff was sporting at PAX East are available for purchase… and you can only buy them in Japan.
Snuck in the Nintendo.co.jp blog post detailing the first Summer update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a new Animal Crossing merch collection was announced for Nintendo Tokyo. Embracing the design and color palette from the Anima Crossing: New Horizons limited edition Nintendo Switch, this 15 item collection consists of apparel, kitchen goods, towels, and accessories. Certain items will also be made available to purchase online via the My Nintendo Store. Below is a detailed list of the items, including their prices and availability.
