This announcement comes shortly after the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch went up for sale earlier this month. However, it's already sold out across multiple retailers as people tried to purchase it for the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons game release. Despite that version running into problems with the coronavirus, Nintendo stated production on the new color won't be affected as far as the end of March. Although, the Nintendo press release doesn't discuss if there will be any issues going forward after March. However, the virus recently delayed the port of The Outer Worlds to Nintendo Switch as well.
