Animal Crossing: New Horizons Player Builds 7-11 Store

Highlights

  • Building a 7-11 in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is possible with some creativity and ingenuity, as shown by one player.
  • The limited collaboration between 7-11 and Animal Crossing in Japan included exclusive items, not widely known to western players.
  • The lack of official 7-11 items in New Horizons has led fans to create their own convenience stores, like the impressive one shared by Lucy_bao.

As an avid Animal Crossing player with a decade of island living under my belt, I must say that Lucy_bao’s 7-11 creation has left me utterly amazed! It’s not every day you stumble upon such a meticulously crafted replica in this idyllic virtual world.

A player made an authentic-looking 7-11 within the game “Animal Crossing”, impressing fellow players and making some feel nostalgic about “New Leaf”.

In the game “Animal Crossing: New Leaf,” a special collaboration event was held for Japanese players between the ages of 7 and 11, which wasn’t available globally. This event was similar to other promotions on the Nintendo 3DS around the same time, like those for the “Pokemon” series. To claim their gift, players had to go to a specific location with internet access, connect to the web, and then launch the game. Most of these items were exclusive to Japan, so many western players might not be aware of them. Still, creative fans can recreate a 7-11 store in “New Horizons,” as demonstrated by this player.

Reddit user Lucy_bao, an enthusiast of Animal Crossing, showcased their customized 7-11 store to fellow fans on the platform. A short video clip was shared, offering a glimpse into the player’s in-game exploration of the convenience store. The exterior boasts classic elements such as capsule toy machines, shopping carts, an ATM, and the distinctive signage that 7-11 stores are known for. Upon entering, players can spot well-stocked shelves, vending machines, and a couple of service counters. The counters house items like a cash register, microwave, and deep fryer, which the player demonstrates briefly. Inside, the store’s decor is consistent with Animal Crossing’s color scheme.

Animal Crossing Fans Applaud Clever 7-11 Build

Other players have commended the construction of the convenience store. One player was taken aback to discover a fryer within the game, wondering where Lucy_bao had acquired it. They replied by stating that their friend owned it and they obtained their own after visiting their island. However, they pointed out that many Animal Crossing: New Horizons streamers share resource islands with fans, offering a diverse range of items to add to their own islands later on. One enthusiast expressed disappointment over the absence of official 7-11 items in the game compared to New Leaf. While some 7-11 items from New Leaf and new ones were introduced in Happy Home Designer, they have not resurfaced since then.

In the case of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there weren’t many collaborations with businesses, possibly because it was released during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nowadays, DLC items can be obtained online through the Switch without having to visit a specific store. It’s uncertain if the upcoming Animal Crossing game will incorporate more real-world partnerships compared to its previous version.
