Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out now on Nintendo Switch, and if you haven't yet started playing, you may want to start planning your island name. There's a strict character limit you'll need to adhere to when brainstorming.

　　The official UK Twitter account for Animal Crossing revealed prior to launch that you'll have a ten-character limit for your island's name, which is two more than was allowed in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. This means, for example, if your New Leaf village was named 'GameSpot', your island could be named GameSpotia.
