Customer Ratings & Reviews

I still play every single previous Animal Crossing game since their release day. New Horizons does not disappoint! It just looks so beautiful and the fact that you can share a joy-con or use another controller to play with other players is very awesome. There's so many things to do, like building, crafting, gardening, fishing, bug collecting, fossil hunting, fashion, & traveling. It's also an easy way to hang out with friends especially in this COVID-19 era. It's almost like The Sims but more kid friendly and very cute. I love it! My kids, friends and relatives all play it alone and together. 2 thumbs up!

I’ve never played any of the Animal Crossing games before and a lot of people I knew were getting this game. I decided to get it as well. Best decision I made. (Even got my best friend addicted to it.) It’s a great game to play alone or even with friends. Learning the game was super easy. There is so much to do in the game and you can take your time doing it all. I’ve even heard there will be special events or something similar to that in the future. There’s even specific items that are seasonal items too. I do recommend this game (and I have to several of my friends as well.)

This isn't a game for those looking for an end goal. This is more of a "go at your own pace" kind of game that lets you explore, and eventually build and customize your own little island. Your storage inventory can be a bit cramped without constantly upgrading your house space, so keep that in mind as you have to save up a considerable amount of bells to afford said upgrades. The game gives you lots of opportunities to earn the bells though. Usually through fishing, bug catching, or even turnip trading if you're clever and patient. The game works off of real-time and even has seasons depending on hemisphere (northern or southern). The game could be in winter in the middle of July if you went with southern, but most will go with northern as it better matches North American climates. The animals in the game are quite helpful at times, so be sure to check up on them often, and remember important events such as their birthdays. Just remember to play often. You don't have to play every day, but it is recommended to pop in often to see how the villagers are doing, and to do the daily tasks such as fossil digging, harvesting crafting materials, and checking what the stores have for sale. If you're a fan of any of the previous Animal Crossings, then you'll definitely want this one if you have a Switch!

I was able to pickup the physical copy, as well as the pre-order bell bag safely in the car, with an employee taking down my info and going into the store to grab the copy. The process was super efficient and I cannot stress enough how well our Best Buy store handled the new work order rules our state put out (with what's going on now). The game has been a lifesaver during this time, and every single day has been a joy to play. Great graphics, tons to do and amazing customization options. One of the best entries in the series and must-buy for AC fans and newcomers!

I’ve played AC on many different devices before but this one is by far the most interesting version of the game I’ve ever played, and it’s sooo adorable!! I can’t help but keep wanting to play because of how good this game is. It’s safe for anyone to play no matter how young and old. It’s fairly easy to play. If your looking to buy somebody this game or buy yourself it, I think it’s a must have for the Nintendo switch. 100% don’t regret my purchase

We have this game for the Wii and recently started playing it again. After a couple of weeks my daughter really wanted to get this new improved version Of animal crossing for the switch. As a surprise we bought her a switch When we found it in Stock and then found this game in stock too. The graphics are really good and the attention to detail is incredible. She has spent hours playing this and its gotten the whole family involved now. The changing scenarios and the story line keeps her engaged and wanting to accomplish more. Its great to break up the boredom of being home all the time. Its even A little educational if you listen to the owl who runs the island museum when you donate stuff to him. He tells you about the item you donate. There are so many tasks to accomplish you will have hours of fun and it seems there is no end to the game. Snorkeling and catching sea creatures is a challenge sometimes, but the reward is worth it. You get more valuable stuff diving compared to fishing when you sell your catch. Recommend this to help break up the home isolation feeling from being forced to stay home during this Covid-19 crisis. People of all ages will enjoy this.

Fun to play, Really great gameplay and graphics. You can craft just about anything . You will never be bored there so much to do. Getting a little addicted to it not going to lie . Would recommend!!

Having played Animal Crossing games since the GameCube, this is the best version of the game yet! Having played each day since release, the community has seen fishing tournaments, an Easter egg hunt, and all sorts of other fun surprises! The best part about the game for me is that it is the first full-featured entry in HD, and the first full-featured console release of Animal Crossing that uses standard controls since the original GameCube version. Wholeheartedly recommended for kids of all ages!

Animal Crossing New Horizons is the gates version of Animal Crossing in my opinion. It has all the familiar characters from the original games and new very cute ones you are able to interact with. The graphics are so crisp and vibrant love it so much. It is perfect game for quarantine as it is a time passing game. You are a rebel to customize your own island and travel to other friends islands as well. Highly recommended. Loved the preorder bonus Tom Nook phone badge. He is my favorite character!

A week after receiving the game upon release I’ve been hooked and haven’t put the game down! It is a breath of fresh air despite what is going on in the world today, a great way to relax and keep calm in a world where you can’t get hurt! (Except by those wasps and bees!) Animal Crossing is a fantastic series of games, and this one hits the mark as the others have before it! If you need a relaxing and fun game to play, pick this one up and I’m sure that you’ll have a fantastic time!

I’ve played New Leaf and I have to say that this game is definitely a huge upgrade! The graphics are absolutely beautiful and there’s a lot more activities in this game, compared to all the other games in the Animal Crossing series. This game is also a create-your-own type of thing. Everything can be customized according to how you want your island to look, from the homes to the outdoor furniture. Can’t wait to get a 5-star island!

This game has always been an awesome play! With hours of new stuff to do with each new day, you are guaranteed to have plenty to do during your coronavirus confinement. LOL but seriously this is a very kick back game with ALL ages in mind. I’m 48 and my 63 year old mom and I both are Hooked!!!

Definitely a binge worthy game once i got started, thought i wouldn't like it since I didn’t like the first game for the 3ds, but this one is so much better. I like how it starts out with only a couple other people and slowly turns into a community, and theres way more to do, like crafting, which was non-existent in New Leaf, is a great addition to the game, cause there’s so many materials to work with. And you can customize your island with just about anything as long as you can build it or buy it, also Blathers museum got the best upgrade, might as well be a zoo and aquarium combined, oh, and an art exhibit. It does require a lot of grinding tho, like new materials don’t usually just pop up out of nowhere, u need to find them, so it becomes very repetitive. Kinda reminds me of minecraft how you need to gather and make stuff, except u can sell whatever you don’t need at Nooks Cranny for bells, and depending on what u have u can sell it for a good price, you can also sell stuff at the dropbox when the store isn’t open, which is a huge convenience, in case your pockets are full. Anyway, just an overall good game, i’m glad i bought it. Best Buy is also a good place to get it since it goes on sale there all the time, and you can combine the sale with any member coupons you have to be an even better deal!

Been Animal crossing fan since GameCube. New horizon is really fun with creative side of creating your own walk paths, streets, outdoor furniture and clothes. Playing with friends have been fun showing off my village and giving gifts. Game is kinda relaxing no major battles just enjoy things. Go fishing, dog for fossils or decorate your home. Interacting with villagers has been fun. The museum my favorite part.

Animal Crossing - New Horizons has been a lot of fun. I had a rare brain attack that has restricted me on what I can do. I can not watch fast moving things. This game has just been a lot of fun.

You get attached to your Island and grow a desire to earn Nook+ miles and Bells to see your assets grow. ❤ I love meeting new animals as each animal has their own distinctive personality. I've just started playing this game and I wish I could have all the animals I meet on tours live with me! This a good game for anyone to play and I highly recommend it.

Animal Crossing is the greatest game franchise ever. I have played this almost every day since purchase. Island living consists of catching bugs, fishing, collecting fossils, building and decorating your house, planning the island, talking to villagers…did I mention creating and decorating? Animal Crossing communities on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Discord, and Facebook are places players can get inspiration and maybe make friends with other players. This game is calming and relieves anxiety. The recently released DLC is a great addition to the game and worth the extra money.

Bought the bell bag combo with my new animal crossing and I'm beyond happy. I've been playing 18 years and I still look forward to the new releases. Went out of my way to buy the bell bag as soon as I saw it existed, I even work at a competing store but I absolutely needed this. The bag itself is actually pretty decently sized and really well made, I mean it better be if it's normally $20 already. The game keeps surprising me with the littlest things they've added over all these years. I didn't want to read reviews on what was coming out with this game as I wanted it to be a surprise. Great game, still a lifelong obsession, and love the bell bag addition.

It’s a cute game to pass time and escape reality for a bit. The gameplay is great and the graphics are better than previous animal crossing games. I have no words but to give it 10/10.

Excelent purchase, very nice game and entertaining i recomend 10/10
