Nintendo Selects: Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo - Nintendo 3DS

I think this game is so much fun! It's a very casual and relaxed game, meaning that there isn't much pressure or a lot of action. On certain days, there is special events and different rewards. There are so many things for you to explore, experience, and enjoy! The packaging of the item was secure and nothing inside was damaged. This game does NOT come with any villager cards, as well. But even so, there is plenty of content for everyone to enjoy.

The game is excellent, but Best Buy’s Online description lists this specific version as including a Special random Amiibo card which is not actually included! This was upsetting to my son who thought he going to get a card to use in this game and New Horizons.

This is a grate game for kids. I bought it for my daughter at Christmas and she loves to play with it. Is a grate gift

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a stellar experience for anyone looking for a more laid back game on the go. It's got a slow pace, but there's never a lack of things to do. Making friends with your animal neighbors, digging for fossils, fishing, and all the other aspects of the Animal Crossing experience are there, along some new fun that comes along with helping to build your new town. Originally bought the game digitally, but loved it so much that I had to buy a physical copy for my collection.

Animal Crossing New Leaf is the current latest in the Animal Crossing series, and I can't think of a better entry point, especially at the game's MSRP. If you've never played an Animal Crossing title, the best way to describe the games is a relaxed life simulator. You can catch bugs, go fishing (my favorite activity), do gardening, or just walk around in the in-game world talking to your animal neighbors every so often. There is no true main objective - so unless you set goals for yourself, it's a title you pop in whenever you feel like kicking back and just taking things easy. I would suggest getting the game digitally now that it's so cheap. I own a physical copy, but I don't play it as often as I'd like since I don't always have it in the system when carrying it.

Design your clothes, your furniture, your home and more in this installment of the Animal Crossing series. As Mayor you will make friends with animal townpeople, earn MEOW coupons to buy items, pass ordinances and finish public works projects. Players can find different animals (even under water), grow flowers & fruit, and dig up fossils. Visit the campground, the museum, nearby Tortimer Island, and many other locations. Tons of opportunities to build and decorate your world, similar to but more in-depth than Animal Jam. The game can also be expanded with Amiibo cards and figures, each unique character providing new bonuses, accessories, locations, or game modes. My daughter spent hours...and HOURS playing this during Christmas break!

I’ve been playing this game since its release day and I still love it. I even have 3 bugs left to catch and I’ve had SIX YEARS to complete everything. I love the real time game play, the music, the sounds, the thunderstorms, the shooting stars, the footprints, the tournaments, the holidays. I will continue to play it nearly daily until New Horizons comes out next year. I’m 39 and love it. I gave it to an 8 year old and she loves it. It’s great for everyone.

The game may start off a bit slow, but once you pick up some steam there is a lot to do and a lot of flexibility on how to achieve your own goals in the game. Only complaint we have is that the game only allows one mayor per game cartridge, and all other characters created on the same cartridge are regular citizens of the town and do not have the same experience as the mayor character. Otherwise it's a fun, cute game and worth a try for any casual gamers!
