Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nintendo has once again given us a wonderful Animal Crossing game. For people new to the series, this game entails fishing, catching bugs, building wardrobes and other Do It Yourself items and is a very relaxing game to play. Just watch out for the spiders.

Perfect Gift for a child's birthday...............

My kids love this game. Overall I would rate this a five star hit with the kids; however I have to mark it down to a 4 star (possibly 3?) because of the limits the game has with playing multiplayer on the same console. There can only be one main player on an island, in which only that player can begin/complete the different objectives. Thus, time sharing a console with multiple kids has proven to be difficult to accomplishing objectives. Additionally, in multiplayer mode, the 2nd/3rd/4th player(s) is/are stuck in a follower mode scenario and not able to access their own collection(s) or do anything aside from what the 1st player wants to do. Very different from the multiplier games I grew up with. Ultimately, the sharing factor became more and more difficult to the point in which I was tempted to either take the game away, or do what the creators likely want consumers to do and purchase an additional console(s) (Nintendo Lite) and additional game(s). Having 4 kids and also being a bit of a softy; I now own 4 Nintendo Switches and 4 of the same game (which apparently has some added benefits as far as the objective of the game goes; as well as their ability to play together via WiFi). Ultimately I am the one who gave in and made the additional purchases, but this came was the root cause. So a win or lose strategy by Nintendo and the game developers got the best of me.

I have put in over 100 hours and they keep releasing more and more content this summer. Very fun to play with your kids where they can fish, swim, catch bugs, and buy clothes/furniture. There is always a lot of things to do. Highly recommended.

With the inevitable shipping delays because of the global pandemic, I actually wasn't sure if I'd get the physical version of this game. I'm extremely grateful to USPS for getting the physical copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons to me despite all of the difficulties in doing deliveries at this time. Shipping aside, in terms of the actual game itself, I had a feeling I'd enjoy it because I've been playing Pocket Camp (the mobile app Animal Crossing game) for quite some time now. I will say though I did worry a little about whether I'd get bored of the game quickly. However, this game is the perfect thing to play during this time of social distancing and quarantine. I've had lots of fun visiting my friends' islands and hosting friends on my island as well. Not to mention the fishing, bug catching, and customization that you have the capacity to engage with.

Shipped just in time. Haven’t put this game down since. Please note that their is only ONE island per Switch console. Anyone who isn’t the first player, will have to take a seat to all the jobs you’re given. Like choosing animal house locations, and etc.

My mother in law retired recently. (Right at the beginning of the pandemic) I'd been talking to her about finding other hobbies aside from puzzles and let me tell you she is in her mid 60s and has been playing and enjoying this game along with a 2 other seniors for years now. Don't ben intimidated by the game. It takes time but when you learn it, you will have a blast. No win or lose in this game, just relax, build a house, catch fish, collect, help other villagers, become an interior decorator, visit a museum, chop wood, mine iron, craft with your resources, cook, etc. You just have to get it in your hands to understand why this game is fantastic.

This is the first console version of Animal Cross we have bought, and it has been spectacular. The ability to switch between console and mobile play makes playing this a non-stop endeavor... there is so much to see and do, new things to create and explore. It feeds new goals and updates at an even pace and even introduces limits to logically stop playing when appropriate, because you can total obsess. The whole family loves playing and each has their own section of the island to maintain and design. If you own a Switch, you should own this guilty pleasure... it may look 'cartoony' but the depth and detail is anything but. Strategy, planning, budgeting, it all comes into play for kids to learn... even the concept exchange using turnips. For adults its a fun getaway though... give everything its own look and feel, and make it reflect who and what you are.

This is by far my favorite game in the whole Animal Crossing series. The graphics in this great are so good compared to the most recent release and the story components are great. It does suck that you can't have more than 1 island per console though.

Amazing game! The crafting aspect adds a nice addition to the Animal Crossing franchise, and isn't that hard to use. Whether your a newcomer or a veteran of this game, you'll love it. Your first day is a little slow, but it gets better as time goes on.

I have loved the animal crossing series for a long time now and this game does not disappoint! it's a little slow during the first few days but it's super addicting and fun. The game is heavily creative based if you're into that then this is a must!

Great graphics. Easy to play. Their speech is kind of annoying though. Overall, its a good game. A lot of walking lol.

If you never played or have played multiple versions of animal crossing this is for you. Fun enjoyable game that you can play by yourself or with friends. Kid friendly but also great for adults. Will make you made at times but overall very wholesome.

What can I say about this game that hasn't been said already? This game is way better than it's predecessor, New Leaf for the DS. It has better graphics, more upgrades, more customization, crafting, more items, and just more potential to interact with the Animal Crossing community. This is my most played game on my switch (or any other console!)...and I play Skyrim and the Witcher 3 quite often. This game saved this year for me...most people will be remembering 2020 as the year COVID ruined peoples lives, but I will choose to remember it as the year that Animal Crossing helped me escape COVID-19 by relocating to a deserted island getaway where I could interact with my villagers and friends (Nintendo Online) without the fear of the pandemic. Thank you, Nintendo. Please make more Animal Crossing games!

Love this game, relaxing, go at your own pace type game, very slice of life. Not suitable for those whom are impatient unless you want to work on that. You live on an island and talk/help your animal neighbors. You decorate everything (island and house however you want(including your little avatar person in the game) it’s basically about taking care of something all your own, there’s in game tasks every day if you care to do them but other than that there’s no objective, the in game weather/holidays reflect real life, there is a multiplayer aspect if you want to invite other people whom also have a switch/switch lite and the game to come to each other’s island and hang out/take pictures/trade items. That’s pretty much it. Been playing every new form of this game since the very first one on game cube, I think it’s a lovely sweet game for any age.

Great game to play while quarantined. Fun to play with friends from far away. It sucks you into its web and never lets go. If you need something to dive into while stuck at home, look no further. The best way I can describe this game is "it's the electronic equivalent of knitting a sweater." You find yourself grinding to complete something that you're not even sure of and at the end, you have something you can be proud of (even if no one else thinks so). You can learn a lot about yourself (and others you choose to play ACNH with) as your type of play will reveal what you value in real life. I know this sounds crazy but it's true. Over time, you realize more about yourself and you may even find yourself appreciating the small things back in real life. Give it a shot, let yourself settle in. Find someone (or a community) to play with.

Animal Crossing is my first experience with an Animal Crossing game the game is very simple but that does not mean it is bare in content. The game starts off slow but it's a great way to keep you engaged in that every little thing you do is rewarding. Picking weeds on your first day to make your island clean can get you gold and "nook miles" ingame bonus currency. there is a nice simple crafting system that once you get far enough will let you build your own furniture. The game offers a great deal of customization if that is what you enjoy or if you just want to go and fish and catch bugs for money you can always do that. There are few things that can be annoying - such as the slow text and having to individually craft the same item 10 times rather than a bulk craft but these are minor frustration that I wouldn't let ruin the overall experience.

Thia is a great game for children, teenagers and adults. I messed around and couldn’t find the one that I previously purchased so I ended up purchasing another one. If you’re having thoughts about buying this game please do so w/out any hesitation!

The disc box really fansy. This game really great. You’ve had a lot thing to do even you play it alone. Imagine playing it with you friend, there’re even a lot whole things you can do. It’s a funny game for this terrified pandemic time.

Lots of content and stuff to do. Its definitely a bit different than the older AC games but is still enjoyable and fun.
