Baskin-Robbins has announced a collaboration campaign with Nintendo to bring Animal Crossing-themed ice cream to Japan this summer.
Nintendo revealed that limited-time items will be available at Baskin-Robbins outlets across Japan from July 1st to July 31st.
The event introduces a limited-time flavor called “Summer Island Feast,” which is inspired by Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ island setting. Its colors evoke forest, beach, and ocean areas, and it is decorated with fish-shaped chocolates based on the sea creature silhouettes seen in the game.
The “Tanuki Development Special Double Cup” features designs of Tom Nook and his family. It also includes a flag pick with the Animal Crossing logo, and a rubber keychain featuring Timmy and Tommy.
The “Single Sundae” is served in a gift box, with its design based on the presents in the games that float in the air via balloons. The “Double Sundae” is themed around friendly ghost Wisp and a nighttime island setting.
The “Special Set” lets customers take home eight ice creams of their choice in a Bell Bag-styled lunch bag.
Other items include “Gulliver’s Washed-Ashore Blue Soda,” a variety box filled with various characters, and an ice cream cake that lets you create your own island by decorating it with Animal Crossing-themed picks.
Customers who purchase one of the collaborative products at a Baskin-Robbins store, and perform a “GPS check-in” using the Nintendo Store smartphone app, will also receive a special sticker.
The ice cream company has also announced that Animal Crossing: New Horizons players can visit a Baskin-Robbins-themed island in the game. The code will be published on July 1st, at the same time the real-world collaboration starts.
