Hello Enthusiasts! I hope you’re keeping warm (or cool, depending on what side of the world you’re on) as we get closer to the New Year. It’s about to be a new decade, so we need to party extra hard. As always, Nintendo’s mobile games are having events celebrating the turn of the calendar, so let’s dive right in.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
AC:PC is giving away free goodies every day until Jan. 8. There are decorations for your camp, New Year’s accessories for your camper, leaf tickets, and more. There’s even a statue commemorating the Year of the Rat. Make sure to log into the mobile game every day to collect your presents.
2019 is coming to an end, and with these New Year, New You! Gifts you can get signs, hats, and other items for ringing in 2020. You can only get them until Jan. 8, so don't delay! pic.twitter.com/VpoR7X3Luv

Dragalia Lost
DL has a lot going on right now and starting within the next few days. There’s a revival of the popular “New Year’s Tidings: Fortune from Afar” event, and a new event, “New Years Tidings: A Clawful Caper,” coming our way on Dec. 30. There are free daily Tenfold Summons until Jan. 3, a prize with every summon, an event to help you load up on materials, and Lucky Letters (which will reveal their prizes after the New Year). That’s not even mentioning the new, high-level content added a few days ago. This is how you throw a celebration for a mobile game.
The #DragaliaLost End-of-Year Celebration started Dec. 25, 10 PM PT! There's lots going on, including a daily free tenfold summon event and a limited-time event, A Sweeping Retrospective. See the following notification for more information.https://t.co/D7OyZQKVDI pic.twitter.com/ztIW0zThtd

Fire Emblem Heroes
FEH is continuing its tradition of having a story event and character variants in fancy duds. Starting on Dec. 31, you can play the new paralogue story “Renewed Spirits.” You’ll also be able to summon New Year’s versions of Anna, Selkie, Lethe, and an Alfonse & Sharena duo. Ironically, this is the first time Anna – the girl of a thousand identical twin sisters – has received an alt in Heroes. She’s sure to be a hot commodity for that reason alone.
Starting Dec. 31, 11 PM PT, four Special Heroes ready to ring in the new year will be available in a Special Hero summoning event, Renewed Spirit! Also, in the next Tempest Trials+ event, you can earn 5? Special Hero Eir: Renewed Life. #FEHeroes pic.twitter.com/A2LzXyVuFI

Mario Kart Tour
MKT is bringing a New Year’s Tour to racers on Dec. 31. In addition to the new tracks, you can get alts of Toad, Yoshi, Koopa Troopa, and of course Mario in his Japanese holiday finest. There will also be new karts and gliders, and possibly more surprises in store.
The first tour of 2020 is the aptly named New Year's Tour! And it starts Dec. 31, 10 PM PT! #MarioKartTour pic.twitter.com/H5mUTGtiNm
