While we are all (hopefully) practicing social distancing, Animal Crossing has given a chunk of the gaming population something new and exciting to pass the time. However, players have started going beyond they game's typical quest structure to make their simulated environments look a bit more like home. That said, emos are no exception.
Since Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch dropped on Friday, March 20, pop-punk players from all over the globe have been wilding out on the gaming platform, creating QR codes for band tees, wall decor and even album art.
Like in the previous Animal Crossing games, there is a rock in each town that, if you hit it with a shovel or axe, gives out money. It only does this once per day, of course, but you can get up to 16,000 bells if you hit it enough. Every day there will be an extra rock in your town.
Creations include entire walls of albums featuring artists such as My Chemical Romance, Dance Gavin Dance, Fall Out Boy and Paramore, among many others. You can check out a few of our favorites below.
TURNIPS!!Animal Crossing! #AnimalCrossingTwitter: Code is: DXWLX. There are two 30,000 bell codes floating around. One is real, and one does not work AT ALL. The WRONG code is as follows: WB2&pARAcnOwnU jMCK%hTk8., Animal Crossing GameCube.
Additionally, players are personalizing their characters' clothing to represent their favorite bands.
Bands and labels have even called upon fans to share their creations.
