Like most Nintendo releases -- but unlike many
other big games -- Animal Crossing: New Horizons will only be available in a standard edition. However, Best Buy is selling a bundle that includes the game along with a bell bag. The bell bag costs $20 separately, so if you were going to buy both items anyway, this bundle saves you $15.
