For the first time since landing on my Animal Crossing island, I cast my Switch aside to consider my virtual life choices.

7 Apps You Can Integrate With Animal Crossing For More Efficent Island Living
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has become a beacon of hope in these uncertain times, letting players (virtually) venture outside to create their own island paradise when in reality they're stuck inside their homes. Once you've collected over a dozen creatures and maxed the amount of villagers you can have, it becomes increasingly hard to keep track of everything you want to do and achieve on your island. But fear not, as there are plenty of Animal Crossing: New Horizons app crossovers that make island living a hell of a lot easier.

So here's how to get famous artwork in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which can be used to decorate your home and even as designs on clothing and other items.

Nintendo’s Ring Fit Adventure Is Experiencing A Major Stock Shortage In The UK
With UK citizens being advised to avoid mass gatherings and crowded places, it’s time to think about how to exercise at home rather than at the gym. There are plenty of ways to keep active with or without exercise equipment, especially if you’ve got a Nintendo Switch. Released last October, Ring Fit Adventure utilises the Joy-Con motion sensors to translate players movements to RPG gameplay.
