Ever since Animal Crossing: New Horizons dropped for the Nintendo Switch last year, many characters have landed on player Islands. While many of them made their first appearance in the older titles of the series, the latest game also has some new ones as well. Fans have their share of favorite characters in the game, such as Tom Nook, Stitches, Marshal, and many more.
