Animal Crossing fans got two special treats that ended Nintendo Direct. The first announcement was that Isabelle would be playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
But the more important
The second announcement, however, was the big one. A “new mainline game” in the Animal Crossing series is coming to the Switch in 2019. Tom Nook delivered the special announcement…!
Nintendo tweeted the announcements as followed;

Are you excited for a mainline Animal Crossing or just happy Isabelle is making it to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? We wonder if she will have an echo fighter (it seems very likely).
