#AnimalCrossing turns 25 today! 🎉 It all began in 1986 when a young designer left home to move to Kyoto and work for Nintendo. His feeling of loneliness sparked an idea: what if a game could help people feel connected, no matter the distance? That idea became Animal Crossing. 25 years later and many different versions of the game, one thing remained the same - a world built on friendship, kindness and community and a reminder that no matter how far apart we are, we’re never really alone. Best way to celebrate? Visit Power Up – book your tickets now: bit.ly/424ZW7s #AnimalCrossing #25thAnniversary #GamingExperience
