Nintendo is providing fans with the opportunity to experience Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pokemon, and more at PAX East in Boston from February 27th to March 1st.
Attendees will have the chance to play a hands-on demo of New Horizons before the game releases on March 20th. Those who play the demo will receive a special Tom Nook themed tote bag (while supplies last).
Starting February 25th at 5pm EST, registered PAX East attendees with a Nintendo Account can reserve a Warp Pipe Pass for PAX East Day 1 to use at the Nintendo Booth to get priority access to demo Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
A guided showcase at the event will highlight the game’s single-player mode and activities like crafting, gardening, and decorating. Nintendo’s booth will also feature a “full-scale immersive experience” inspired by New Horizon’s island environment. Attendees will get a chance to take photos in Animal Crossing inspired scenes with costumed characters like K. K. Slider, Tom Nook, and our queen Isabelle.
There will even be an on-site store at the event selling Animal Crossing: New Horizons merch and other Nintendo products. Attendees who use the My Nintendo check-in booth can also receive an Isabelle pin (while supplies last).
