Nintendo has opened a dedicated Animal Crossing: New Horizons corner at Daewon Shop in IPARK Mall, Yongsan, South Korea, bringing official merchandise and a themed photo spot to one of Seoul’s major shopping destinations.
The display centers on a real-world recreation of the game’s in-store icon, Nook’s Cranny, and includes life-sized cutouts of Timmy and Tommy alongside a range of Animal Crossing and Nintendo-branded products.
Background and context

The installation features a Nook’s Cranny photo spot that mimics the shop’s storefront from New Horizons, and includes life-sized Timmy and Tommy cutouts intended for guest photos and social sharing.
