Nintendo Switch Online App To Get Animal Crossing: New Horizons NookLink Feature Next Month

With fall already here, it was not long until Nintendo revealed its plans for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. In that, the firm announced the Halloween-themed fall update for the March-released title offering an abundance of new experiences unique to the festive holidays of all saints day. The title update will include pumpkins to farm for new crafty recipes, candy to give out, and festive cosmetics to dress up in.

But alongside the content-infused update that is slated to hit Animal Crossing: New Horizons next week, Nintendo has revealed more new in the same trailer that is relevant to the game. That being the upcoming NookLink feature: part of the Nintendo Switch Online app for smart phone devices, players can utilize the new tool to make interacting simpler than ever.

While only showcasing the ability to use in-game Reactions more seamlessly, there is still a bulk of additional things worth noting. Such as scanning custom designs to use on your character or island, see who is playing online, and make chatting less of a challenge with your Apple or Android device.

“With the update, you’ll be able to use your smart device to perform Reactions in the game,” the post reads. “How about trying it out for this occasion to let your island visitors know exactly how you feel about their mischievous tricks and treats?”

Do you plan to adopt the use for the NookLink feature for the Nintendo Switch Online app?

The NookLink update is set to go live sometime in early October; Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out now for Nintendo Switch.
