    I initially got the game for my 10yr old. Fast forward to now, I am playing it more than her. This game has a Minecraft feel to it, It's adorable and in real time. The seasons change according to where you live or at least your region. It's addicting

    This game is a fun time where you create your own village. You can even visit your friend's villages and vice versa. This is currently the second best selling game on the Switch. After buying it and playing it, I can see why.

    My 8 yr old daughter specifically asked for this game for Christmas because she loved playing it at her friends house. She is getting lots of use out of it and has been able to connect online with her friends.

    It was a gift & they loved it. They were able to download it in no time. Plus, BB emailed it fairly quick. Would highly recommend it instead of buying the actual game especially for a young child. The game is super fun too.

    I can’t even put down the controller for two minutes to write this review. Very addicting. So many possibilities. Even more fun to hang out with friends online. Just make sure you don’t have to update your island or donate to the museum when your gate is open.

    The great distraction

    This review is based on a time in history where we are dealing with a pandemic called Covid-19. While there are many titles you can play for a quick gaming fix, Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the Switch stands out. Not because it has flashy graphics or riveting dialog, but because it’s a great distraction. The game will entertain you and keep you coming back. Whether you play it daily or skip a few days to work, you’ll come back and enjoy this game. It allows you to escape to a virtual island where you start out with a tent and free to roam (albeit limited to the current island but you get to travel further as time goes on). The game includes seasonal activities that get incorporated. Whether you play during the day or during sunset you can find lots to due as the islands host and staff offer up many activities that you are tasked with completing. RECOMMENDED - great distraction.

    last play AC on the GC back in like 03. was so excited for this release, and so far it has not disappointed. The only drawback is you can only have one island per switch, so if you have multiple people wanting their own island you have to have multiple switches

    I’m a longtime Animal Crossing player, but this would be an excellent and easy game for new players to pick up too. Nintendo has fixed nearly every complaint about the previous game, New Leaf, and added tons of new features as well. It was well worth the wait.

    I'm not typically in to this type of game but Animal Crossing adds Nintendo polish to the genre and slowly building up your island and upgrading your house is really addictive and relaxing. If you have a Nintendo Switch I would recommend trying it out!

    Love it really fun game! But the only bad thing and get me mad is that if you want to use the game in another console you can’t transfer your information from the other console. Juts remember if u want to buy another console you will start over all the game!

    This game is the culmination of eight years of waiting. Nintendo has outdone themselves on this one and it is one of the best games I have played in a while. I was very glad Best Buy had the game in stock and I found the pre order process and service very good.

    This game was for a friend who was in the hospital fighting for her life. Once she got to where she could play games and use the computer, we got her this game and gaming station so she could forget about her situation a little. She loved it!

    I'm here stuck at home and this game does plenty! It starts of painfully slow but it's okay! With friends it's a really enjoyable experience The only bad thing I have with this game is the one island per console save, but other than that It's such a good game!!

    I can't tell you how long I have been waiting for this to come out! It is so amazingly beautiful and the interactions between the items, characters and even scenery is just stunning. Worth the wait and will kill hours and hours of my life but I don't even care!

    ACNH is a really great way to calm down after a long day. There is no rush to win, or reason to be stressed. It is a slow moving yet entertaining game to play. The characters are fun and the graphics quality are great. Overall a great game.

    Amazing game. I have never played an Animal Crossing game before and never thought a game like this would hook me but it did. I have put so many hours into it. Stick with it if you find it a slow churn. It will reward you. Simple but amazing.
