ACNH Events & Items 2023 - Animal Crossing New Horizons Calendar 2023

You may not know this, but Animal Crossing debuted on the N64, all the way back in 2001. It was seriously lacking in features we’d come to love, such as the Museum, the Able Sisters, and various other events and ACNH items, but it was a full game and a wholesome experience. Now, as things stand right now, with the likes of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service, this N64 version of Animal Crossing, could be the most likely of the previous installments, to see a remake, or a re-release on Nintendo Switch, this year. There are other candidates such as Population Growing, Wild World, City Folk, and New Leaf, but in terms of how Nintendo is releasing content right now, Animal Crossing, or Animal Forest as it translates to, is probably the most likely. Back to the topic, let's focus on the Animal Crossing New Horizons event schedule 2023.
