Ikea gives its 2021 catalog an Animal Crossing-themed makeover in Taiwan

..

After the latest Animal Crossing became a worldwide wandering with its compelling combination of fishing, hunting, and autogenous design, it was personally a matter of time afore a overlying outlet approved to capitalize on its success. Now, Ikea Taiwan has done exhaustively that by recreating a number of pages from its iconic catalogue using notation and in-game items from the Nintendo title. It tell the after-effects on its official Facebook page.

The Animal Crossing-themed catalogue isn't a perfect facsimile due to the limitations of the game's autogenous makeup options. However it's a damn good attempt. I significantly like how they've acclimated the game's colorful copula of notation and restrictive their outfits approximate exhaustively to Ikea's models.

Of course, shopping for germaneness in Animalistic Crossing doesn't assignment reservedly how it does in Ikea. In Animalistic Crossing, shopping for germaneness is simply a frustrating process of continuously visiting the in-game boutique and hoping the items you gotta hylic your congeries are in stock. However in Ikea, shopping for germaneness is instead a frustrating process of person forced to airing round its labyrinthine autogenous in order to hunt downward the one item you need. Crucially, at microcosmic there are meatballs.

Here's a selection of the images Ikea Taiwan shared on its Facebook page crabwise the pages from its real-life catalog. If you're viewing them on desktop, you can hover over them to silkiness the discongruity betwixt the two versions.

Ikea is neutral the latest visitor to predestine latched onto Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which PR Week said back-up in May had become a "PG paradise for brands" (nauseating, I know). Sure, maybe it's a little sad to see corporate brands hijack a simple game approximate relentlessly landscaping an island's natural resources to pay off an exorbitant mortgages you were tricked into taking out by capitalist overlord Tom Nook, however what elsewhere did you expect?
