Today marks the 4th anniversary of the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Nintendo Switch! Since its launch in March 2020, #ACNH has sold ~45 million copies worldwide.
News / Anniversaries: Animal Crossing New Horizons is officially 4 years old today
Just a quick one, Animal Crossing New Horizons has now turned 4 years old today, releasing 4 years ago on Friday March 20th 2020 (it was certainly a fun time, I'm lucky my pre-order came in at like 9am on launch day).
Do you have any memories of picking up ACNH 4 years ago? Let me know in the replies below.
Should I be taking a look at my poor #ACNH town that is stuck in 2021 ;_; I will TT to my last login date and at least play the events from there so I don't miss out on items, but it also feels overwhelming.
🎵 I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real. 🎵
In 1995, Nine Inch Nails released this haunting tune with a music video that was a variety of images overlaid with Trent Renzor in concert. Kabuki recreates the concert venues here today.
In 2003, Johnny Cash released his cover of NIN's song. It was a haunting rendition from a man nearing the end. Walt is portraying the sorrow of Johnny Cash here.

News / Events: Southern Hemisphere New Horizons players can play in the Bug-Off on Saturday
Are you ready to catch some bugs? Southern Hemisphere players, it is your time to catch as many bugs as you can in this weekend's Bug-Off. It takes place from 9am to 6pm on Saturday (which could mean right now).
TFW you specifically took screenshots and set a scene for a Music Monday post for Animal Crossing, but start your day to realize you forgot to download the screenshots off your Switch:
🤦♂️ :neofox_facepalm: :neocat_facepalm: :ItachiFacePalm: :kannafacepalm:
Okay...so, I may have forgotten my lunch at home. And so did my wife. So, I may have ran home real quick to grab both, bring my wife her lunch, and snag the pics off my Switch...
It is absolutely Resetti season, and it looks like Resetti saw his shadow. That means weeks of him yelling at you for not shutting your console down properly!
I did this :starfrag: Lloyd the #Gyroid :starfrag: #AnimalCrossing#illustration in June of last year, but I already did Sketch a Day every single day, and so I saved this one for later. I kept postponing it though. 😅 After December (TLDR: My youngest in the ICU/hospital), I lost my drive to do daily drawings. I really needed to rest and focus on my family/myself. I’ve been doing watercolour drawings lately. I’ll share more of those soon!
I did not see a theme for @ThePop's J-Music Friday this week, so I'm just going to drop the fantastic music video from Hanabie for their newest track, OTAKU Lovely Densetsu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awx5vfb_aSY
Yes, I know I dropped the song last week, but they now have a music video! I have to share that too!!

Since @miona is still on hiatus for the hashtag, there's no formal VGM Wednesday theme.
So, I'm going with my favorite K.K. Slider song, K.K. Robot Synth, cause I want to share it and keep the hashtag around this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l85224VytME
