Today we have some crazy news to share with you about Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Japanese customers were so excited for the game that hundreds reported lined up at game retailers all over Japan at midnight on March 20, 2020. There were even reports that because of the high demand, the game literally sold out at… midnight.

Here are some photos:

It’s also important to note that March 20 is a public holiday in Japan, hence why many people were lining up across Japan to purchase the game.

What do you think?
