Socially distant performance of the Animal Crossing theme will brighten your day

The smooth island grooves of Animal Crossing: New Horizons are among the game's many unexpected pleasures, and Nintendo knows it.

On Friday, as the pandemic-stricken world dazedly welcomed the arrival of another weekend in lockdown, the official home of Animal Crossing on Twitter offered up a treat. The musicians behind the game's soundtrack gathered together for a lovely, socially distanced rendition of the New Horizons theme.
