    Ong who doesn’t LOVE Animal Crossing! This game came out the day our state shut down for quarantine! So while we were stuck in our homes for months we played this game and it kept our spirits up and smiles on our faces! Thank you Nintendo!

    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!

    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.

    Great Switch title and my daughter loves it! You can spend 100s of hours in this game if you want to. You can also visit your friends worlds within the game and they can visit yours. Sweet and cute characters and music!

    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.

    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.

    I was OBSESSED when it first came out. I eventually stopped playing because I just lost steam, but would like to start it up again. I miss the more foresty theme of the initial game for Gamecube, but this one definitely doesn't disappoint!

    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

    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.

    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!

    My wife loves this game. She is not a gamer so this is perfect for her when she wants to sit down for a bit and relax. Building things, collecting things and exploring the world.
