Selects:Animal Crossing:New Leaf Standard Edition - Nintendo 3DS

Bought this for a family member. Age 9. Loves the game. Really enjoys collecting whatever it is she collects. Also likes to shop around and change how her character looks. Seems like a great game if she plays more of this than the pre-installed game her Nintendo 2DS has.

Playing Animal Crossing can quickly go from a few minutes a day to your entire weekend every weekend. You get as much as you put into it. It's a beautiful game that, when you put the time in, rewards you with meaningful moments that feel very personal. Check it out!

I've been playing the Animal Crossing series since the first game came out here in 2001. New Leaf for the 3DS is an amazing installment in the series. It recently received a new update that adds amiibo functionality, so that you can use the Nintendo amiibo figures and cards to unlock things in the game. They are not at all required to play or do well at this game, however. Animal Crossing is a successful, established game series that appeals to a wide audience. It's a game that you can take at your own pace, and it really isn't possible to "lose" and it's definitely not possible to "die." There's a lot of content that provides a lengthy amount of play time and it's absolutely worth the money. It is appropriate for all ages, though some reading ability is probably required to enjoy the game properly.

the game was played often by my 9 year old. The only downfall to this game is you have to buy additional cards if you want the characters to pop out

In a world where edgy garbage is cool and good wholesome fun is considered pablum, this cuddly town simulator is one of a very few modern titles that defiantly stand in the breach as positive and pleasant experiences. This game is very low stress, playful and fun-loving. There's lots of things to buy, do and see. The mechanics of how the townsfolk and services of the town work are just complicated enough to keep you interested and reward you for achieving new things each day. Animal Crossing: New Leaf is definitely a great way to relax and cool off after a long day. 10/10
