Nintendo is streaming an Animal Crossing concert soon

Nintendo Live is back, and this year, fans can look forward to more K.K. Slider tunes and a Splatoon 3 concert

Nintendo Live 2022 is happening soon, three years after the Kyoto software developer’s last in-person concert, and as is tradition by now, the Big N will stream the concert on YouTube for anyone outside Japan to watch. This year’s Nintendo Live will include an Animal Crossing concert and a performance by Deep Cut, the fictional cephalopod idol group from Nintendo’s newly launched Splatoon 3. 

Nintendo Live 2022 will air on Oct. 9, 2022, from 5 a.m. EDT/2 a.m. PDT/10 a.m. BST. Nintendo will host a recorded version of the concert on its YouTube channel after the event ends.

Unlike previous concerts, though, Nintendo Live 2022 won’t feature subtitles. Previous events included localized subtitles and were broadcast through Nintendo’s regional YouTube channels. This year, the concert will be in Japanese, and Nintendo of Japan’s YouTube channel is the only place to view it.

The last Nintendo Live features a Splatoon 2 concert, but this marks the first time the trio of Shiver, Frye, and Big Man the manta ray will perform outside the game’s Splatfest events – and the first Nintendo Live since the COVID-19 pandemic struck.

The 2019 concert skewed towards Splatoon 2, with only a handful of Animal Crossing performances pulled from K.K. Slider’s weekly repertoire. However, in Nintendo UK’s tweet announcing the event, the publisher said fans can look forward to a suite of Animal Crossing performances as part of the new DJ K.K. Paradise Mix.

Animal Crossing fans had a field day with New Horizons’ hilarious nudity glitch

Put on some clothes while we’re in public, for goodness sake!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a contender for the most wholesome video game in existence, somehow became a nudist colony for the past couple of weeks.

Ok, let’s explain that absurd statement a bit. When the Happy Home Paradise DLC came out a couple of weeks back, players began to notice something rather peculiar: villagers were regularly spawning without any clothing in the café and store areas. Yep, just a bunch of cartoon rabbits, cows, and dogs walking about in their birthday suits. Nothing explicit, of course, but still a glitch that  rivals anything in the GTA Trilogy  in terms of hilarity. 

Nintendo  patched the glitch  on Wednesday, much to the chagrin of the Animal Crossing  community that were too busy losing it over the unintentional hilarity.

So apparently, I run a nudist café now from AnimalCrossing

Yes, the naked villager’s glitch might be gone, but fans are weaving its tale into the fabric of gaming history — one hysterical tweet at a time. Below you’ll find a collection of some of the best reactions to this now infamous glitch. Rest in peace, legend.

Animal Crossing patch fixes naked villager glitch

Put some clothes on, you animals!

Since the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’  Happy Home Paradise DLC, villagers are sporadically running around butt-naked.

For whatever reason, the café and store areas of the DLC became a small nudist colony, with the cutesy denizens walking about without any clothes. It turns out this was due to a glitch specifically involving custom clothing. In some patch notes for Animal Crossing: New Horizons,  Nintendo listed perhaps the funniest bug fix in the history of video games.

“Fixed an issue where facility members wearing clothing that uses Custom Designs appear to not be wearing any clothing,” Nintendo Support said. Imagine some poor community manager having to type that out in the most harmless way possible, beads of sweat pouring down their brow as they try not to burst out laughing.

If you would like to see some examples of the glitch in question, check out the tweets below. It’s all safe for work, by the way. The glitch mostly makes villagers look like stuffed animals, if anything.

The Animal Crossing  community had fun with this one. They always do, though. Recently, a dedicated fan recreated Spirited Away’s train scene in  Animal Crossing: New Horizons  to glorious success.

Fan recreates Spirited Away’s train scene in Animal Crossing

The classic 2001 animated film returns in adorable tribute.

If there ever was a single moment in video games that highlights how wildly creative fans can be, it might be this tribute to Spirited Away  in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Over on  Animal Crossing’s subreddit, user Pepper_Gecko shared their meticulously-crafted island recreation of the famous train scene from the 2001 animated film Spirited Away. Anyone that’s seen the film undoubtedly remembers the surreal, chill, yet bizarrely haunting scene from Hayao Miyazaki’s magnum opus. It’s one of the most ionic moments from arguably the most influential animated film of the past two decades. 

Somehow, they even have the cityscape scrolling past in the background as No-Face sits there, being as creepy as ever. Take a look at Pepper_Gecko’s tribute to Spirited Away for yourself below.

In the train….. from AnimalCrossing

Also, if you’re keen on checking it out in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the island code is DA-0824-9020-1383. It’ll surely be free of those  disgusting roaches, too!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons  is still staggeringly popular, even nearly two years on from its release. Now that the  enormous 2.0 update is out, fans are returning to the game in droves. It’s the second-best-selling title on the Nintendo Switch, after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

‘Animal Crossing’ villagers are putting players on blast for roach infestations

Keep your New Horizons house clean or get called out!

Ah, that distinctly awkward moment when company comes over unannounced and learns that you live in a pigpen. It’s the worst.  

Animal Crossing: New Horizons  players are learning this the hard way, as the 2.0 update makes villagers randomly visit your house whenever they feel like it. If you’ve not logged in for several months, cockroaches will take up residence in your humble abode. Should villagers notice your new disgust, skittering roomies, they’ll verbally thrash you. Rightfully so, you messy monster.

Thanks to the update, many fans are picking Animal Crossing: New Horizons  up again for the first time in a long while, which results in a lot of the aforementioned awkward encounters. They’re flooding all over social media even, IGN  reported Thursday. 

Now I love to highlight shameful gamer moments. Shamers, we’ll call them. And these neglectful Animal Crossing: New Horizons  fans are right up there with the worst of them. Check out some of the messiest reactions for yourself below. Make sure you clean up beforehand, though, lest you want to end up on this list too!
