For starters, the same themed dock and Joy-Con set will be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2020\/01\/animal_crossing_new_horizons_joy-con_and_switch_dock_to_be_sold_separately_in_japan\">sold separately<\/a> in Japan. If you&#8217;re looking for something even more affordable, though, you can always opt with these officially licensed Animal Crossing: New Horizons skin bundles by Controller Gear, for $19.99. Both designs are available to purchase right now from Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>They cover the Joy-Con and Switch dock top to bottom in appropriately-themed designs. One features full graphics and is called &#8216;Tom Nook &amp; Team&#8217; and the other is known as &#8216;Tom Nook &amp; Friends&#8217;. The skins are completely scratch resistant and won&#8217;t leave any sticky residue when removed. And to top it off, they both come with a screen protector.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"AC Skin\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/928005662981b\/ac-skin.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/928005662981b\/ac-skin.original.jpg\" alt=\"AC Skin\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"AC Skin\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/3e06fe253a905\/ac-skin.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/3e06fe253a905\/ac-skin.original.jpg\" alt=\"AC Skin\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"Don't worry, you can still play Pok\u00e9mon\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/1b20509185158\/dont-worry-you-can-still-play-pokemon.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/1b20509185158\/dont-worry-you-can-still-play-pokemon.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Don't worry, you can still play Pok\u00e9mon\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\">Don&#8217;t worry, you can still play Pok\u00e9mon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Have you applied a skin like this to your Switch before?
