Animal Crossing New Horizons Hori Collection

See at Play-Asia

Animal Crossing New Horizons came out in March 2020, leaving an increasingly painful six-year gap for those of us who can't get enough of being financially abused by Tom Nook. Just when it seemed that Nintendo was good and fine with letting the game fade into a memory, the company unexpectedly dropped a 3.0 update chock-full of new features, which was very smart timing for the game's release on Switch 2.

While it's not the new game Animal Crossing fans are hoping for, it's a great reason to pick up your Switch again (or replay the whole game on Switch 2). If the new content has you deep in the throes of nostalgia, you might be thrilled to learn that Hori also has a a brand-new line of New Horizons accessories coming, including Switch 2 controllers, carrying pouches, and the cutest game card holders you've ever seen.

While these items are specifically for the Japanese market, you can preorder them now via Play-Asia. The collection will be released on June 30, with pricing starting at $10. Read on for some of our favorite picks.

May 4 is still a few weeks away, but thanks to a new deal at Amazon on some of its Star Wars Lego sets, you can start celebrating the greatest sci-fi film ever made right now. If you've been waiting for a deal on some of these, you can save up to 26% off some core classics like the Millennium Falcon, the TIE Bomber, and R2-D2. Some of these prices are record lows, so it's a great time to fill in those holes in your collection.

We'll highlight a few of our picks, beginning with the beloved R2-D2, an icon that no Star Wars Lego collector should be without. Measuring 9 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, R2 has a movable head that can be rotated 360 degrees, an attachable periscope and tools, and a detachable third leg. The set also comes with a 25th anniversary minifigure of Darth Malek from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This set is ideal for builders 10 years of age and up.

Everyone knows the iconic TIE Fighter, but true Star Wars ship fans also love the TIE Bomber, which made its first appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. Measuring 15.04 inches long, 10.32 inches wide, and 2.78 inches high, the bomber has a cockpit that opens so you can insert a minifigure and a warhead bay that holds four droppable torpedos, as well as a handy little cart to transport them with. You also get three minifigures with weapons, including Darth Vader, Vice Admiral Sloane, and a TIE Bomber Pilot, as well as everyone's favorite walking battery, the Gonk droid. Builders nine years old and up can take this one on.

Everyone that's even seen a James Bond film wishes they could have even one iota of the man's coolness, whether it's the classic Sean Connery or the modern Daniel Craig.

Diana Pragmata Series Amiibo

$30

Pragmata makes its big debut on April 17 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, which is notable for a few reasons: it's a brand-new IP from Capcom, it's getting some pretty solid reviews, and it's a single player shooter, which feels unique in a sea of games designed for online play. Nintendo Switch 2 owners have to wait until April 24 for the game, which might be painful if you've been chomping at the bit to play it. But in the meantime, you can buy something that will make your Pragmata experience even better: the Diana Amiibo. Diana is already sold out via the Nintendo shop, but GameStop still has it in stock for now, so don't sleep on it if you want to add it to your collection.

Diana Pragmata Series Amiibo

$30

The Diana Amiibo shows off a cute pose, wearing her signature puffy blue coat. But other than being a cool addition to your Amiibo collection, Diana also comes with major perks. Scanning her will give you up to three weapon and recovery items for in-game use. Since all weapons in the game are temporary except for your Grip pistol, this could come in quite handy.

For those of you unfamiliar with Pragmata, Diana is an android that looks like a seven-year-old girl and one of the two protagonists of the game alongside system auditor Hugh Williams. She helps him on his mission to explore an abandoned lunar research station by hacking security systems and using a scanning ability that helps them map their path. The duo must face off against IDUS, a hostile AI guarding the station, in order to be able to return to Earth.

The game was originally announced in June 2020 during the Sony Interactive Entertainment PlayStation 5 event, and suffered some development challenges and delays before finally being confirmed for an April 2026 release date. If you haven't picked up your copy yet, you can do so right here.
