Developer Ambertail Games and publisher Team17 Digital have announced that the delightful-looking dino shop management sim Amber Isle will be unearthed on Switch on 31st October.
Although it's launching on the spookiest of days, Amber Isle looks anything but. You'll be setting up shop on the titular island, serving the dino locals and making home improvements to ensure that everyone is feeling paleo-peachy.
There is a good dose of Animal Crossing inspo on display in the above release date trailer, though the management sim-style gameplay should stop it from treading too heavily on Tom Nook's toes. And besides, it's dinosaurs! Totally different, right?
You can find a rundown of the game's key features and get a look at some screenshots below.
Open Shop: Customise, name, and run your shop your way – use the profits to unlock new shop décor, walls, floors, and more, making the space uniquely yours.
Rebuild the Island: Rebuild, decorate, and unlock new areas to explore on Amber Isle, and with enough improvement, Paleofolk will start to take up residence on the island permanently.
Meet the Neighbours: Amber Isle is home to 48 different Paleofolk to befriend, including Ice Age mammals, Permian amphibians, marine life, invertebrates, and more.
Paleo-you: Express your penchant for the prehistoric and design your very own Paleofolk – change your clothes, crests, and colours, to create your perfect paleo-persona.
The cosiness is certainly strong with this one, so it could be a prime pick for snuggling up with in spooky season.
Does Amber Isle look up your street? Let us know in the comments.

So Animal Crossing but dinosaurs? Neat!
I’m not into life sim/management sim games, but this does look charming and high quality enough. Hopefully those who like the genre enjoy it.
Looks like Neopets thats all ive got
This caught my attention the first time you posted about it and I'm still intrigued. I think these "Animal Crossing-like" games can be pretty hit and miss, but this one looks great.
Lemme do a dilophosaur folk and this will be the first animal crossing like I'll be interested.
The commenter above beat me to it. This instanly reminded me of Neopets too.
But can I put my villagers in the museum?
@Anti-Matter You'll be waiting a while. It isn't coming out on PS5 (just PC, Mac and Switch) and there doesn't seem to be a physical version at all.
Game looks cute. I'll keep an eye on it.
@Anti-Matter of course you are. Why do you keep saying that on a Nintendo website?
@Groovz
Because the other users also said like that on Nintendolife.
Some peoples here not considering the 3rd party games on Switch version due to the issues or the downgraded quality that made them pick the other machine version instead of Switch version.
Just because I keep wanting the PS5 version of the 3rd party games on Nintendolife, it doesn't I completely detached from Nintendo Switch games.
I'm being very selective to pick 3rd party games and I know a lot of 3rd party games currently played better on PS5 machine than Switch.

Let's not kid ourselves, this game does NOT look good. Everything about this trailer looks grating, especially the character design.
@AngelSlayer
The dinosaur characters looks cute to me.
Honestly looks pretty intriguing to me. It’s channeling that Dinosaur-crazed little kid in me who grew up playing Dino-Park Tycoon on school computers in the 90’s.
Not sure if I'll get it myself, but it looks cute and hope it will be good for those interested regardless!
