Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've never played this series but happened to preorder it before Pandemic 2020 hit. This really helped during lockdown. When you need something to relax to and want an island of worshipers then you have found your game. Also, if you like playing the stock market then you'll love Turnips. Just know there are so many little things that need fixed, and probably never will, but the addictiveness of it will help you make excuses for it so that somehow you play through it. That said, once you withdrawal from it you can see clearly and realize the game was just a time killer...but that's what I needed over the Spring of Covid-19. Enjoy!

As my first Animal Crossing experience this is a wonderful game, and a great way to escape into a fun and engaging world. My entire family genuinely enjoys developing their island.

This is an addictive game! I have been playing it for about a week now and look forward to playing it every day. It is fun, calming and a great escape from the daily stresses of current life. I like the little touches it has incorporated-such as the way the sand gets swirled around under water by fleeing creatures when you’re diving for sea creatures. I enjoy playing a game that isn’t always trying to kill your character and make you start over..causing frustration-the very thing I don’t want to add to myself right now! Highly recommend!

When creating another title in a well-received series it is important to add new elements but not allow these additions to be more bombastic than what the player has learnt to love about the series already. New Horizons, as expected, does this well. Like a typical Animal Crossing game you focus on collecting items for a museum, creating the perfect outfits for your Villager and decorating your house. The player is given nearly full reign to customize their island how they please and being rewards with new tools and features to add to their island as they continue to play the game. This game is perfect to pick up for twenty minutes of so before you start playing another game your deep into-- or maybe afterwards to relax for a bit. I do wish it had something extra though. The original Animal Crossing for the Gamecube allowed you to collect some original Nintendo titles that you could put in your house and play. I understand this may be redundant for those who have an online account with the Nintendo but having some sort of mini-game could give you something to do when you aren't waiting for the next day to come to respawn fossils. A great game that every Switch owner should have as it is very accessible, but make sure you have another game to play while you are waiting for your flowers to bloom and trees to bear fruit.

How do I put it into words? This game is amazing. For fans of Animal Crossing, you'll love this. For newcomers, if you like taking nothing and building it into something, you might like this. You start from scratch in this game, with nothing but a tent, a resident services, 2 villagers, and an empty island. It takes your efforts to make something out of this island, and the more work you put in, the more you get out. Getting that bridge feels amazing because you know how much hard work went into it. Your beautiful lawn is all the more beautiful because you made it yourself. Excellent game, can't recommend enough. The perfect zen experience.

We have really enjoyed the thoughtfulness and creativity of this game. It is packed with things to do. You'll want to keep coming back to make improvements to the village.

The last one of these I played was the original animal crossing. They've added several features to make the game much more interesting and extend how long you can play without it feeling repetitive, but it still feels like the great game it was/is. Appropriate for anyone any age. To anyone who is not familiar, this game uses real time in the game for daylight/night time/store hours/etc., so there is some waiting you have to do at times unless you want to mess with your system date/time and it's not a game you necessarily "win". But you have a vision of your perfect island, I highly encourage you to get this game and make it a reality.

So let me start off by saying that I never really buy anything game related or from Best Buy at all in general. When this game started taking over the internet, it was impossible to find (only digital was available everywhere) I needed the physical copy because when I get a lite I want to be able to play with that and take it with me. Sadly the coral isn’t available but that’s okay because I can wait. Now Originally it was going to take two weeks to ship to my house but, is took less then a week! The checkout process was fast and easy and getting to my house sooner than later really made my day! Will FORVER now be buying things from Best Buy

I'm a 35 yr old who never played any Nintendo games till 2018 when I bought my Switch and Zelda BOTW. I had a high level of curiosity about AC since I read that we play it in real world time and we can keep playing it for years. At this stage in my life, this is the kind of game that suits my lifestyle, so I picked up this game and a Switch Lite just so I can game anywhere anytime(I know the OG Switch is portable as well, but its relative bulk prevented me from carrying it everywhere). And I'm enjoying Animal Crossing much more than I expected too, especially because I just could not get into Stardew Valley. The changing season bringing with it its own variety of flaura and fauna is so much fun. At times waiting few days to collect enough items to unlock a next stage does feel like a grind, but I still have fun while doing it. My biggest complain would be the lengthy repetitive dialogues delivered by some characters every time I initiate an interaction with them becomes a pain overtime. Why do I need to hear Blathers explaining he is a night owl every time I'm doing him a favor by donation stuff during daytime? And what the hell is wrong with Nintendo about not making cloud backup available for this game? Why am I not allowed to play this both on my OG Switch and my Switch Lite if I want to? All these complaints apart, this is definitely a game that I expect to keep playing casually for a few years.

My 10 year old had saved up for this game and when he had enough we took him to buy it. We stopped at 3 different gaming shops but couldn't find animal crossing at any of them. We then decided to look at best buy (which we should have gone to first). They had the game and even though they were only doing curb side pick up, the best buy employee said if we put the order in he would be able to bring it right out. We bought the game online and he brought it out within minutes. It's a great game where my son can build on his own island and add his friends to play/visit each others islands. Also the service we received was exceptional.

This is my first time playing this game and it was really cute. It was explained pretty well how to play. Really cute game, I like how it’s actually based on real time

Animal crossing for nintendo switch was a bday gift for my granddaughter. This is her favorite game and absolutely loves it. I personally think these game are expensive.

I live the previous animal crossing games and this one really met my expectations. I love playing this game. It’s some much fun and brings back memories

Super fun, cute, and creative game to play. Hours pass once I turn on the game.

I absolutely LOGE this game! So addictive and I even got my mom playing it. This is a lot of fun and a super easy game to play.

My daughter and I both play and are super addicted. Great fun little game for any age. You only get one island per device though so be prepared.

An incredible game that I'd imagine could capture just about anyone's interest. The premise may not sound like much on paper, but there's plenty of fun to be had with this one.

This game is great. Such a fun cute funny game thats addicting to play. Its my favorite game I play and the one I play most often. My family and I play together.

Decided to hop on the Animal Crossing train and honesty do not regret. It’s been really fun and relaxing to play. I really like how creative you can be with designing stuff.

my daughter loves this game. It is simple wholesome and fun.
