    I bought a copy for my niece, and got addicted on her island, so I had to buy a copy for myself. It's such a chill and fun game, even for players who haven't played the previous Animal Crossing series. I recommend it to every one! I wish it was possible to have two islands on a console.

    solid AC game but not best in series

    this is the Switch's (probably only) entry with the Animal Crossing series. it is a simulation that pushes the user to play daily until an "end" is reached. it is basically a grind from day one. some may feel this is not the game for them and it is fine. others may love it because of the serenity. no matter what, this entry is worth owning but many will drop out within 2 months. the main issue is the grind needed to get bells (money) to pay off this and obtain that. past AC games have this mechanic but to me, were more fun. this time around, it felt like a chore.

    Amazing price and with gift included! Exceeded my expectations for the care and understanding that Best Buy has provided myself and my family during these uncertain times. My little brother loves his game and plays it every day. Thank you so much for your great service.

    This is such an adorable and fun game! It was sold out everywhere so I was excited when BestBuy got some in! I placed my order and I was in my hands just a couple days later, talk about fast shipping! So glad I was able to get this game, I highly recommend it to everyone of all ages!

    I have never own or played an animal crossing game but I heard good things about this game and I’m glad I pick this game up. It can get repetitive after a while but the amount of things you can collects and customized are endless. Overall a good fun game in short periods of time.

    I don’t even know what to say and it’s not like you’d read this. But you already know you want the game. It’s animal crossing and it does it very well. Note Couch co op isn’t as fun for the older older kids haha. So might as well pick up another copy.

    My daughter has been anxiously awaiting the release of Animal Crossing for Switch for a long time. She played multiple versions on her DS previously, and the new version was no disappointment. These games in general seem somewhat overpriced to me, but that seems to be standard.

    Huge fan of the previous animal crossing games with the exception of home designer. This game has everything and just looks beautiful. Fish look so real. The only thing I didn’t like were the temporary tools and having to rebuild or buy another one but ive come around to understand it.

    A fun, relaxing game that my wife and both children can play together and enjoy playing together. That is why we had to get a third copy. Popular series and fun enough for adults while simple enough for children. We play the game on the Nintendo Switch.

    So I was supposed to receive this during release day, but it never got delivered to my address. Reached out to Best Buy and they immediately shipped out a replacement copy. They were quick to respond and accommodated for the carrier's mistake. Their help line's call back feature was super convenient as well. Instead of being put on hold for forever. They'll call you back when you're next in line. The game itself is great! If you're a fan of the previous Animal Crossing series then this will feel much more polished! Great getaway for the challenging times we're currently in

    This game afforded me over 250 hours of straight mind numbing gameplay. I loved every second that I played this game. However after playing so much for so long I got a bit tired of the Animal Crossing Formula. I still highly recommend this game, however, take it slow.

    The greatest and cutest video game of all time. The monthly updates prevent it from being boring and the huge community it has is great. My husband loves it too. Definitely recommend the online access subscription. Buy it. It will only give you joy and happiness.

    Got this months ago, forgot to write a review. Best for one player, do not buy for multiple children; I do not recommend as it limits the other player in this generated island. If they like building or surviving in an island getaway, this game will be for them! Patience.

    This game is perfect for wanting to be outside while staying inside. Because of the Corona virus we had to wait in our car while Best buy called us and did a transaction over the phone then we would drive up and get our item. Social distancing at its finest! Great game and great team!
