Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a lot of fun, but the grind is pretty real – especially when it comes to your boring daily chores like watering your flowers. Thankfully, cheap labour is available, even in the virtual world of the Nintendo game.
As shared to GameByte’s very own Facebook Animal Crossing group, The Animal Crossing New Horizon Society, one user is offering the opportunity to water your flowers for the low price of two Nook Miles Tickets.
Sharing a Google doc to the group, the user wrote the following: “I am launching a Watering Service! I will come and water ALL your flowers within a 30 minute slot. The cost of this will be 2NMT!”
The services aren’t stopping with watering though, as the AC fan is also planning to “sell hybrid flowers in the near future as well.”
Everyone knows that Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the biggest games of 2020, but the sheer scale of the game and its sales is still pretty unfathomable. According to new stats from Superdata Research [via GoNintendo], AC:NH, the game has now sold more digital units in a single month than any other console game in history.
There’s a LOT of people picking up the game, which has now racked up more than 5 million digital worldwide sales (that’s without including physical sales numbers).
Superdata explains: “Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold more digital units in a single month (5.0M) than any console game in history. The Nintendo-published title broke the console record for monthly digital game sales previously held by Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII. Animal Crossing: New Horizons also roughly matched the first-month digital sales of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon Sword and Shield put together. The game’s combination of social features and a relaxing setting likely appealed to individuals stuck at home. Closures of brick and mortar stores also meant that a higher share of consumers purchased the game digitally compared to past Switch titles.”
It’s bested some of Nintendo’s biggest releases on the Nintendo Switch, selling more copies over its first three days than both Pokemon Sword & Shield and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate did in their first 10 days [via Bloomberg].
Congratulations, Nintendo!
