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

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.

I haven't completed this game, so my review is based on first impressions (or about 5-10 hours of gameplay). Then again, I'm not sure this game even has an end... This is my first experience with Animal Crossing, and it's proven to be among the most relaxing games I've played. I must say that the formula works well on the 3DS. It's something you can choose to really dig into, but I've found it also works well if you just play for an hour or so each day. Time in-game reflects real time, so if you're a night owl, you may find it somewhat annoying that shops close over the course of the evening and don't re-open until the next morning. That said, collecting items, outfits, furniture, and even helping the townsfolk with their basic "get me this item" tasks is surprisingly enjoyable. A nice, low-pressure game that should appeal to fans craving for a more laid-back slice-of-life experience. Also, Isabelle is super cute.

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.

This game is a few years old now, so the price has gone down considerably. It was worth the full original MSRP, so there's never been a better time to pick it up. Back when this game came out, my girlfriend and I used to play together almost every evening while we were long-distance. It 's a chill and low pressure way to spend some time with friends, or by yourself to relax! This game is more than appropriate for kids (been playing games from this series since I was 10) but it does require quite a bit of reading. At their own pace though! Would be a really fun bonding activity for a parent and child, as it's simple enough for non-techy parents to play. You will however, need your own console and copy of the game. You don't need any amiibo to play this game, but they are compatible and do add something to the experience. You can unlock items and choose which animal villagers live in your town with the figures and cards associated with the Animal Crossing line. Again though, this game was out for years before amiibo came along, so they're fully optional!

Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a game that both demands a lot and yet nothing at all from you. The game is really what you make of it. It can easily draw you in and have you logging back in day after day to check on your community. Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a game that you could play every single day for a year and still be interested, or you could set it down for a month, pick it up, and continue right where you left off. It is one of the best games out there for a relaxing and charming experience that keeps you coming back for more. So far, I have been addicted to it since I started playing it 3 months ago and have hardly been able to go a week without checking on my town.
